    Such a delightful dining experience. Made me feel like I was back in Tokyo with all the kitsch decor, the food was fab and the drinks are SO BLOODY GOOD! Also there’s heaps of fun, interactive activities and buttons to press that add something playful and energising to the experience. Make sure you pick up the phone at the entrance and press the buttons for life advice and wisdom. I ❤️ Chotto Motto.

    Excellent atmosphere and very good food. Enjoyed the friendly service - and we will definitely be back in the near future. Had the Wednesday night special , some gyozas - and tried both deserts on the menu. Deserts were a little disappointing for me, but I probably need a little more practice!!
