The vibes are nice, I loved the japonese music. I ordered the Tonkotsu ramen and it was so yummy! I specially loved the broth, noodles and eggs.

This place is dying a slow death.
The fish was not fresh. It’s obvious they are pushing the expiration date on the fish. The salmon sashimi was oddly very tough.
The regular serving of sashimi was two tough pieces of salmon, one passable piece of tuna and a disgusting, discolored trash piece of escolar.
At 2:55pm, they announced we needed to leave because they are closing. After they made each roll very slowly, one at a time. It took 40 minutes to get all of our food.
Avoid at all costs.

The food is incredible. We had the karaage, grilled eel, and tempura salmon roll. All of it was excellent. The karaage tasted just like it did at my local shop in Japan. The service was also excellent. I can’t believe we’ve been living downtown this long without coming in before today. One thing to know, the sushi rolls are huge. It was actually a little difficult to eat because one piece is more than a polite mouthful, but the proportion of rice to fish and vegetable was perfect.
10/10 we will be back.
Vegetarian options: Limited but present. Vegetable sushi roll, nori fries, cha soba, rice.
Dietary restrictions: Great for gluten free folks. There are some vegetarian items on the menu as well.

Sitting in this restaurant you can feel that you are transported to true Japan with both the clear and clear way the chefs make the sushi and the menu. It even opens in reverse the way it would in Japan. I love MotoMoto and while I do think they should have a happy hour, I will still go for the high quality food. Thank you, chefs, I love what you curate for us! It’s true and authentically executed!

I love this place. The spicy vegan ramen is our favorite. Best vegan ramen in phoenix. Best vegan sushi too. I feel like they are understaffed right now though… I hope this place doesn’t close down because we just found it last month and have been returning ever since.

Service is very good.
But don’t expect to get what’s shown in pictures.
I was told they gave me 4 instead of 6 pieces as shown in picture was because the salmon they gave me was thicker ?

We went here during a convention and it was hands down the worst experience I have ever had at any resteraunt. We went in before it got busy and were there for over an hour before any of our food came out. They brought out our food and delivered it to the wrong tables multiple times. Tables that came in at the same time got their food and left before ours even started to come out. The karaage bowl (the only one delivered from a 6 person order)was overcooked and inedible. We didnt get utensiles in the entire time we were there. The person who took our order didnt write any of it down and didnt seem concerned with the poor service at all. When we asked about it, we were told they were short staffed, yet everyone else there got utensils and food in a timely manner(at least the ones that came in after us). Just terrible service, and I'm a pretty patient person, I've been in food service before so I understand things happen but this was literally the worst resteraunt service I have ever had.
We sat for over an hour, and got our drinks after 30 mins, and two appetizers. They never brought silverware or napkins. They took our food to other tables. We had to hunt down the server twice to complain, and the one thing that managed to make it to the table was made wrong. We paid for our drinks, and apps, and left.

Avoid this place and don’t waste your time. We stood at the door for 5 minutes and it was empty. Sat for another ten minute before someone brought us water. Another ten or so before someone took our order. For 3 of us we ordered 6 rolls. After about 20 minutes one single roll came out. No water refills. We sat there not wanting to start without something for everyone at the table to eat. We didn’t even have utensils yet. Those eventually showed up and after about 15 more minutes nothing.We had one roll show up after being there for an hour. For the first time ever we just walked out. Didn’t touch the one roll that did show up. No one was coming by so we could even ask for status and let them know we were leaving.Don’t go here.

So my friends and I just got turned away from the bar on a Saturday night at 9:45 by the skinny bartender with glasses. Told us they were closed even though it says they close at 11. I asked another gentleman and when I said "you don't close at 11?" He reluctantly said "okay we serve you". When I looked around and saw every table was left unbussed I realized this place was a joke.

What a wonderful experience! The bartender was awesome. He worked the entire dining area and excelled! The spicy edamame alone is worth another visit. The tempura salmon roll didn't disappoint either. They offer adult beverages, but there isn't a full bar.The restaurant is downtown, so plan for parking. Accessible entrance.
