A fabulous restaurant with extensive cocktails and drinks. The restaurant had very beautiful decor and its a perfect place for dates and catching up with friends. The cocktails were a bit strong but delicious. The garlic omurice was flavorful and the eggs were perfectly soft. The waitress who was there was also very attentive and very nice. I will definitely be back!

The food is pretty good here, but it is pretty expensive, so beware! Also, we were seated near the bathroom and all we smelled the majority of the time was bleach other cleaning chemicals. If they place you near the bathroom, try to ask for another table.

This will be one of our frequent visits for sure! Great cocktails for reasonable prices in a fancy speakeasy vibe that doesnt get rowdy. Glad we stumbled upon this bar and we will be back with friends!

Very good bar bites and cocktails. Ambiance not too bad either. Only one problem, takai desune! I wud just come for snacks or after dinner snacks so not to break the bank. But easily best bar food because their stuff is not burgers and pizza but dishes of Michelin Star dreams. Just bring the card with high credit limit.

This is a must try place which has rocketed up my top 10 dining experience in NYC list. The menu changes seasonally and features extremely interesting and well done flavors. Service was excellent, drinks were good (although expensive, since when did we all accept that cocktails should cost $20?), and the star of the show was the food. We would happily come back for a special occasion.

Came here for the omu rice and enjoyed it. The demi-glace sauce was a little salty, but the flavor was delicious. Enjoyed the Wagyu toast as well, the oba leaf was nice flavor between the wagyu and toast. They make proper cocktails at this bar. Was hoping for live jazz the night we went, but will have to go back another time.

Quite loud, one of the few places with an omurice. It was good but not particularly so. The egg is cooked right and the presentation is stunning, but the flavors were elementary and forgettable. Sat at the bar (not busy) and was required to get a drink each. Luckily they had a range of complex mocktails on the menu

I recently visited Bar Moga in New York, and it was one of the most memorable dining and drinking experiences I’ve had in the city. The bar has an authentic retro Japanese vibe inspired by the Showa era — think vintage jazz, cozy dim lighting, and warm, elegant interiors. It instantly feels like you’ve been transported to a hidden bar in Tokyo.
I started off with their signature Japanese Highball — a simple drink, but here it’s made with precision. The balance of whisky and soda was just perfect — light, refreshing, and smooth with every sip. If you’re a whisky lover, you’ll appreciate how well they prepare it.
We ordered a variety of dishes, but hands down the highlight was the Omurice. Not only was the taste outstanding — rich, savory fried rice wrapped in the softest, most delicate omelette — but the presentation was an experience itself. The staff brought it to the table and did the famous egg-splitting right before our eyes. Watching the fluffy omelette unfold over the rice was almost therapeutic.
If you’re looking for a Japanese bar in NYC with amazing food, great drinks, and a little show at the table, Bar Moga should definitely be on your list.
This is a place that I’ve come to time and again over the past 5-6 years, but I have to highlight the exceptional service we got when I recently went with friends for drinks & dinner. One friend was allergic to sesame, which we had informed our waiter. Since then he took SUCH extra care, and repeatedly let the whole table know if there were any drinks/dishes that contained sesame before putting them down (though she was perfectly fine with it, she just couldn’t actually consume them). When her order came with the sesame the first time (think the note got to the kitchen just a hair late), the chef came out right away and apologized and made a new order with the needed adjustments as well. That high level of care was far from unnoticed and it’s made me feel more determined to come back more often. Side note: I wasn’t sure at first, but after ordering tonight it confirmed my memory that this is my personal favorite drink from here — highly recommend Dress Up For The Night 💃😉
The jazz drew us in. The warm service and exceptional bartending captivated us. Seiji was a master of his craft and was very helpful in directing us towards the right drinks. We'll be sending friends here and coming back as often as possible.
