FANTASTIC service (cannot be stated enough, these people are awesome), food, and atmosphere.Home crafted sake! 3 levels, including a roof dine in!WORST criticism? It's hard to find, so I included photos of the entrance.Every dish was robust and filling, as ramen should be!Mule lovers? The Moto Mule is the BEST mule drink I have had, from any place, EVER.Vegetarian options: Mushroom Ramen, complete with tofu. Very nutty from the shiitake! Excellent choice Dietary restrictions: Gluten free
We loved the Ramen from this place. We came here for the sake taste. According to the restaurant, this is the only sake brewery in America. :D. It was kinda cool to try different sake and compare. This restaurant is more like a bar. My kid loved the shuffle board game there. He played while waiting for the food.We had the classic Ramen. The pork was smoked. I liked that flavor. Also the egg was perfectly poached.For Food I would give 5 stars. But there were couple of things that affects my overall rating.One confusion is the 12% service charge. Am I supposed to pay 20% tip on top of that?Also the AC was not working very well. It was kinda hot inside.
Go for sake and nice atmosphere, maybe an app or two. The noodles (I’ve tried every one-I wanted to love something, I really did ?) are smoky but also incredibly bland. Gyoza is alright, edamame and shishito peppers are great, the buns and lettuce wrap are decent. Overall the food is just not quite it. Also, I hate to say this but!! I love the service charge for them, but the service is a nightmare. We had food that never came each of the times I’ve gone, requests like sriracha and chili oil (bc it’s needed) forgotten about, and it’s a stressful experience trying to get everything you want out on the table. This’ll be my last visit for a while, the bill is too high for the quality of food & service received. :(
Very friendly services and always there especially when you ring the bell for services. The food was nice even though it's not as expected by my sister and her friend for it to be like southern California style ramen and all. I had mezcal in Mexico, California and then in Jersey which was disappointing and felt fake but this place was excellent on my mezcal drink. Thank you bartender I needed a nice drink after all the traveling. We also did a flight of sake and our server had some good recommendations. We barely spotted the place here but once inside it's a cute place with friendly staffs. Great to bring a dinner date and have one on one time without the crowd and loud music
The JFC is phenomenal, I've been traveling for work for 18yrs and that is by far the most amazing chicken I've ever experienced!!!
We arrived at 9:45 and it was busy, waiter did her best being it was crowded. I ordered the spicy curry beef ramen and it was 10/10. My family ordered the drunken noodles (also 10/10) and the classic ramen. The pork and egg was replaced with chicken no problem and it was a 8/10 for him. I would definitely recommend this place. Not sure of the alcoholic drinks we didn’t have any.

Loved the place. Food was really good. Loved all the Buns and tried the Restaurant Week menu, everything was good.Only thing I would suggest is that they include the tips in the bill like other restaurants 22%, with out the service charge of 12% that they charge. Kinda inconvenience for customers i would say. I love tipping. But seeking 12% service charge and also tips on the side minimize the customers willingness to tip more to the servers. Either increase the price of the food and let the customers tip servers instead of the owner as a service charge. Its just confusing.Overall food wise- very good. Recommend
I have always loved Moto-i. Fantastic selection of Ramen and small plates. Over the years, I've eaten the entire menu. Their house sake selection can't be beat. The JFC will always be my go-to plate. The staff and servers have always been helpful, kind and will happily make recommendations if you ask. Will always come back!
One of the best restaurant experiences I've had in a while. Great service and amazing food. The ambiance was perfect, too! Definitely check this place out!
