Amazing pastries!! They always have some unique offerings you find anywhere else. Get there early they will sell out quick on busy weekend days!

I'd heard great things about Cafe Mochiko and I'm happy to say it lived up to the hype. The food was great, service was great and friendly, and I just overall enjoyed the vibe. Definitely look forward to being back and telling more people about it. Also, props to Rachael for being a great server and making me feel welcome. Pastries and ramen, you can't go wrong here.

The Katzu Sando was fantasic, as was the ramen.

So I knew it would be delicious, I just didn't know it would be THIS delicious. Wow. Yum. Had the Broccoli Gomae which was awesomely bright with sesame flavor, the Ramp Raisu which has both pickled and fresh ramp - almost like a risotto texture. And the Mochi Mochi Panic was the star of the show - almost served like a gnocchi but with mochi texture instead and a total umami bomb. So great.
Sat at the bar and had a few Asahi.
I came for the smashburger but got distracted by other items on the menu so I guess another trip is in order.

As a fan of authentic Japanese cuisine, I was genuinely surprised by the creativity at this place! Every dish had a familiar foundation with a subtle, delightful twist that made it stand out. Everything I tried was spot-on. Iāve heard great things about their bakery too, but since we went in the evening, most of the baked goods were already sold outādefinitely going back earlier next time!

All I have to say is wow. We drive 35 min , 2 times a month to eat here. Itās flavor town. I love it when we find a casual spot to eat that surpasses almost the best of places. Gem š

We met family here for a lovely evening. We had a party of six that changed to a party of 8. The hostess let us know that it would be at least a 45 minute wait so we went next door and had drinks. While we were chatting the hostess called my phone but I didnāt see the call. She left a message that our table was ready and they would hold it so we all commenced finishing our drinks. Another hostess tracked us down next door to let us know that we could chug our drinks or wait for the next large party to finish. We opted for that choice. When we did sit down, Lauren was our server. She was very attentive. She advised us on choices and drinks. We had at least one of everything on the menu. Things we ordered again: moshi moshi, the chicken dish, the pork tenderloin sandwich. Everything was absolutely delicious but those were phenomenal. Unfortunately, all the pastries were sold out so we canāt say how dessert is. Lauren did mention the ice cream shop 2 doors down. Iāll be leaving a review for them also.
Thank you for a lovely evening. It was a delight to enjoy visiting with family while enjoying all your lovely dishes. We will be back to visit again.

Our appetizers were amazing - specifically the karaage.. my Cincinnati chili style ramen was one of the best things that I have eaten recently.. if you like ramen aaaaand Cincinnati chili - try this!
Service was also fantastic - even though they are always soooooo busy.
