“This place was awesome. the fish was extremely good and the service was fast. I'm not sure why it is rated so poorly, but I had a wonderful experience here and I would definitely return if I lived in the area!“

“สนุกสนานอาหารอร่อย บรรยากาศดีมีระดับ“

“Bomb sushi!!!! Everything was wonderful, can’t say anything bad. Good rolls and gotta try the crispy rice for an appetizer😀“

“Very tasty and super friendly staff! We eneded up going with all recommendations from our waitress. Sweet potato and the Aburi Salmon were stand out but everything was delish. Their “margarita” sake cocktail was also really good.“

“One of our favorites in Little Tokyo. I have been going here for more than a decade. Tofu sampler is always delicious. Sushi and sashimi cuts are of high quality. Over the years I have tried most of their menu and never had disappointment.“

“Sashimi is fresh. Grilled items are tasty. Good selection of sake. And the service is very good. Thank you, Nathan.“

“The best everything…so, Go!“

“I came in for lunch to grab a quick snack and get some editing done on my phone. I just ordered a sake cocktail that they made delicious! And i also ordered the chicken meatball skewer, which came paired with egg to dip and I loved that sweet with salty combination so much! I would say I couldnt really get any work done on my phone as I don’t believe its a work friendly place although the tables are great to do so. They dont have outlets anywhere near the tables so if you need to charge your laptop or phone here is impossible to do unless behind the bar.
I just ready a book for a bit and enjoyed my cocktail and snack. I do think the atmosphere is more of a come in with friends and share a meal and gossip a bit. Or for dinner I think its also a great spot. I loved what i tried although it wasnt much. I would come again with a friend to have some cocktails and some snacks as the food and drinks were really delicious!“

“The flavors of all the food was amazing.... everything on the menu was intriguing , I wish I tried it all!“

“😘😘😘😘😘The taste is very good.“

“A hidden gem in Montrose. Very good food, attentive service, reasonable price.“

“Very trendy atmosphere plus super attentive and awesome staff with some pretty good food to go along with the drinks.

The pork katsu sando and pork buns are both delicious small bites but the real standout is the caramelized corn. Seriously, it's sweet, crispy, and addictive. If I had to select one thing off the menu it would be my pick for sure. The wagyu and pork curries are solid but unremarkable. I don't mean this is in a bad way, they're a little plain but nice, heavy, and pair well with a beer for lunch.

There's a selection of beers and sake but also some very interesting drinks for the curious. The earl grey milk highball is definitely unique. Overall definitely worth stopping by.“

“This place is a little gem for dumplings, the host was so kind to us and tried to get us a table as soon as he could. As for the waiter she was sooo nice enough to point out some recommendations. Had to order all the sauces because this spot is known for flavors must check it out its next to another good restaurant known for pho so this dumplings is a craving to go next door ill be back ! To try the egg rolls!!! Thanks“

“Viviana really makes the atmosphere an amazing experience. Her customer service and attention to detail is a 10 out of 10. She remembers when i bring my party of friends and welcomes them with a smile. She goes above and beyond and im greatful to have her as a server.“

“Moxie is a great place for family and friends to hang out. Outdoor seating is cool and comfy. Super yummy food by Japanese Chef. Staffs are super nice and helpful too. They sanitize before seating the customers. They even prepare small bottle of hand sanitizer on every table which customers can bring home. During COVID, they have continous deals such as AYCE before, and now $1 skewer. It's a 'must try' dining. A cool place to chill. Highly recommended.“

“Their recipes are undefeated“
