    They charged us a bottle fee which was not mentioned anywhere on the menu nor by the servers. The “omakase” was not omakase; they just served us the sushi pieces on a board all at once. AND the sushi was lukewarm, all mid-to-bad besides the one tuna pieces with tofu on top. Service was quite bad as well. There are just way better omakase places to go in the city with the similar price.

    Food was good quality but extremely boring. $95 per person for basically regular sushi. Server talked to us maybe twice the entire time. Weird electronic trance music playing. Very uncomfortable vibes while we were there.

    Just not worth it. Whole experience was maybe 30 min for us and nothing was really that great. Was a slight notch above a local sushi place but with the price tag of a better omakase place. Trust the reviews and find another sub 100 omakase.

    At the tables the omakase comes out at one time which makes having your meal quickly easy.

    Ordered the 15 pieces omakase at the bar. Service started out very slow. It took the chef a very long time to begin serving us and there was only one other person dining at a table in the restaurant at that time. It took the server a while to clear our plates/bowls. Another couple arrived about 20-30 min later and some how caught up to our meal and actually got served their dessert first. The pieces were just average. The temperature of the rice was very inconsistent, ranging from luke warm to almost hot. The quality of the fish were okay. The wagu was very chewy. Highlight was the uni.

    So bad do not go. Went on a Thursday night and the omakase gave me stomach pangs and they ran out of dessert as the last course.

    I had high hopes for Moko, but unfortunately, it was a major disappointment. We made a reservation for 10:00pm and drove almost a hour to get to the city. When we arrived the hostess who wasn’t helpful at all immediately started to state that the “chef has left already” mind you she wasn’t even aware that we had a reservation, another worker had to inform her. She wasn’t apologetic at all about her mistake and just continued to tell us that they couldn’t do anything about it. It was my boyfriend’s birthday and it was super disappointing because we have been planning on visiting this place for months and finally decided to make a reservation and this happens. But the place next door was happily able to accommodate us.

    The sushi was spectacular- some of the best I’ve had in the city. The space is bare bones and a little sterile. The service was ok.

    There was quite a bit of a wait for the omakase to come out, but it was quite a nice variety and really carefully and masterfully done. However, i personally am not a huge fan of the decor, trying a little too hard to be new wave chic/japanese/dutch, but i also think if there were more people inside and more lively it would be fun. Mondays! All in all the omakase saved the day.
