My family and I go here often. We love the atmosphere and the people. It is such a cute place ,and the service is wonderful. They have a great selection of food, and even if you are not in the mood for sushi they have other item on their menu that are just as good. They have quite an impressive sake selection as well. We also keep our chopsticks there in the boxes they have on the wall. All in all every experience I have here has been good. They are on the pricey side but that is sushi pretty much anywhere they serve good sushi. read more

This was pretty good, but not the best. They definitely had a lot of options on the menu. The location was convenient. It was very cosy and casual. We started with calamari which was really octopus. It was good, but would be nice to have been told it was octopus. I had a special caterpillar roll and my son got a couple of rolls. We ended the meal with mango tempura. All in all it was a good meal. I'd go there again, but there are probably better sushi places to visit. read more

Amazing experience! The sushi was delicious and the restaurant has an ultra friendly staff. The sushi chefs all greet you right when you enter the door with a smile and usually sing to you. Loved every minute I was there. Will go back whenever I am in Northampton! read more

I tried the sushi here and it was okay. Rice was kind of dry and hard. Every sushi I ate I needed a sip of water just to get it down. I would probably not come back here again. read more

This place was just super average. The inside just reminds me of an apt, wasn't really nice inside and it was freezing. There's plenty other sushi places in Northampton that were ten times better. The sushi I got was nothing special. If you want a real nice presentation and delicious sushi I wouldn't suggest this place. Zen and Osaka we're definitely better. read more

Too expensive for average food. Check your bill and double check prices for add-ons and such. Or just go to Osaka instead. I asked if they would add tofu to a noodle dish, a request that's simple and granted at every other place I can think of. They added an 8-dollar tofu appetizer to my dish. Literally. I didn't realize it till I got the bill. Erm... read more

I think the atmosphere here is great, sitting at the sushi bar is a good time. We ordered miso soups, two appetizers and two of the $16 each rolls and all of these were very small and not nearly enough food. The rolls were especially disappointing. Our bill was $65 and I left hungry. I guess it's northampton prices but really? read more

Expensive for the quality of food. The setting (especially the 2nd floor) is nice though, and overlooks downtown Noho.

Moshi Moshi is a good place to try sushi if you live in the western MA area. The sushi is very good, no way I could complain. Still there are plenty of sushi restaurants around and this has never been one of my usual places. read more

We love Moshi Moshi! It is our go to place for sushi. The food is always fresh and Sam creates special rolls that are outstanding. The waitstaff is super friendly. We love the Saki too. We will be back! read more

Each time I go to Moshi Moshi the experience, which the first time was excellent, gets a little less exciting. Maybe I was blinded by the thought of having found an excellent sushi place here in the Pioneer Valley. Now after a few visits, it's just not that great. For the prices they charge, I certainly didn't expect to see Sammy unwrapping a few frozen Shumais from a Costco bag, throwing them in the microwave IN A PLASTIC BOWL, and serving them to us. Yep, that's what happened to us last night. We wound up not eating these BPA-laden shumais, and it took the pleasure out of the other food we got, and I just don't feel the same way about Moshi Moshi. read more

Food is fresh, delicious, and overpriced. Really skimpy with the chicken in the chicken teriyaki, and no accompanying miso soup or salad. Plus, when we substituted brown rice, the waiter made no mention that it would be for $3.50, so we were just "surprised" when the bill arrived. (The menu did say that there would be an "additional" charge, but usually it's a $0.50 or $1.00 surcharge.) If you order an extra brown rice side, the cost is $3.50. If we had just kept the white rice and ordered an extra brown rice, the final bill would have been exactly the same, except we would have had an extra white rice. So we were shortchanged. In the grand scheme of things, $3.50 is not a big deal, but together with the lack of miso soup, stingy chicken, and the surprise billing, it just alienates customers. We won't be returning. read more

This is by far my favorite Japanese restaurant in the area (Northampton, Amherst, greenfield). The quality of the fish is by far the best. Plus, the service is quick and very friendly. read more

Any review (including this one), based on one visit, has its limited value, but here is our take nonetheless. There is little here that stands out over its competition, other than it seems more expensive than the local competitors. Our bill for three adults and one 10 year old was $115.00 (including miso soup for all, one salad and one appetizer plus rolls) without drinks. The food is good and fresh, though not particularly artful or creative in design or presentation. There are some unique special rolls. The waitstaff is excellent and friendly. There is some ambience in the limited downstairs space, and none upstairs unless you are fortunate to sit at a 2 person table by a window. Otherwise, you are next to the upstairs serving kitchen or the restroom door. One thing that left an off taste: the waiter announced that a 20% tip was automatically applied to parties of 4 or more. I could not find that policy online or on the menu. I would have tipped that much anyway, but was put off that I was not given an option. read more

I don't know how this place got all those high ratings. I just had dinner there last night (6/18/14) and it was absolutely hands down the worst meal I have had in a very long time and definitely the worst sushi I have EVER had. We ordered: two clear soups, edamame, shitake mushrooms and a salad for apps, then we ordered two California rolls, 1 order of tuna sushi, 1 order of salmon sushi, 1 crab stick sushi, and another roll. The clear soup smelled like something was rotted and dead in it, the tuna sushi was so fatty, the salmon was lumpy and fatty and the shitake mushrooms didn't come out until we were finished with our meal. We had one bite of our soup and put it on the edge of the table, didn't touch the salmon... and the waitress didn't even ask if everything was okay or ask why we didn't touch half of our food. I would never ever go back there. On top of that the cost of everything was over 70 dollars before tip and no alcohol was ordered. Absolutely horrible. Never go to this place. There are WAY better places to go to in the Pioneer Valley. AWFUL!!! read more

Nice casual, fun japanese restaurant. Good value, fresh ingredients and good variety. Sam, behind the sushi bar is friendly and very helpful. If you don't see something you like or want it prepared a certain way, just ask and they will do their best. My waitress was Ceileidh and she was friendly, pleasant, attentive and a fantastic waitperson. Friendly cozy kind of atmosphere. Not pretentious or overly frilly. Give it a try. read more

After hearing great reviews and being a huge fan of Asian cuisine I had high expectations for Moshi Moshi. My expectations where met and surpassed. As soon as we walked in we where greeted like regulars with a personal and warm welcome. Possibly my favorite part of the meal was the homemade kimchi pancake (it is homemade by the owners mother). I ordered the veggie fried rice and was floored by the nuanced flavor. The service was exceptionally friendly and prompt. Will be coming back regularly and recommend ten times out of ten. read more

I love this little place! Everything is fresh, beautiful, and tasty. The staff and chef, Sam are so friendly and always greet you when you come in. Definitely recommended! read more

Came here with my mom and sister after reading good reviews! This place has an eclectic vibe and amazing sushi. Our waiter was very knowledgable and helped us to decide as there were many tempting choices. The Salmon roll with thinly sliced lemon on top has me dreaming about comin back! read more

I stopped by Moshi Moshi the other day and had a delicious meal! Started with the MT Zilla Roll, crunchy spicy tuna roll, and shrimp tempura which were all amazing. For my entree I had the Kal-Bi. Never had anything like it. Ask for the kimchi to go with it for a flavor explosion! Definitely coming back read more

Moshi moshi is the best place to get sushi in northampton, if for no other reason than the others don't have Sam. The kimchi udon is amazing, the fish is always fresh and delicious. Ask Sam for the torched salmon belly, you'll be hooked. read more

Moshi Moshi is a fun place to go. Everyone gets a warm and friendly greeting from the chef and the waitstaff. You can sit at the shushi bar, go upstairs or dine outside. The restaurant is cozy and comfortable. The food is fantastic. My favorites are the caterpillar roll, spicy tuna, and the rice bombs. The food is always fresh and very high quality. read more

Great food and great service. The sashimi rice with cucumber was cool and refreshing on a hot day, and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. Sam is a funny guy and always remembers my name when I come in. I definitely recommend stopping by! read more

I loved all the food there but especially Spocy garlic salmon and Sam I am roll! Sam and Kimmi are amazing as well! My fav place in northampton for sure! read more

Actua quote from server: "everything is not immediate here" Truer words have never been spoken. Pass on this one friends.

What a totally pleasant experience I had. It is a little cozy place (perhaps tiny) and I was greeted warmly upon entering. The waitress was friendly, efficient and available just enough to feel I was being taken care of without having someone in my face all the time. My dishes from the maki to the noodle dish were excellent, fresh and well prepared. Of note was the fact that I mentioned to my waitress that I didn't see a certain dish I wanted and the waitress immediately asked the chef about it and he cheerfully called out to me from the sushi bar, "What would you like?. You want a dish, we can make it for you." They were totally accomodating, the food was great, and service good. For me it is a good value and good time out when spent here. It is a down to earth family owned kind of place that does their food with fresh ingredients and cooks it well. If you are looking for elegance and mediocre food you have many other places to go to. read more

Moshi Moshi is one of the most incredible restaurants in Western Mass!! It's a treat to show up, be greeted at the door with a huge celebration, and to eat some of the best sushi we have ever eaten!! Sam and family make this restaurant a magical experience! Don't miss out!!! read more

Excellent food, cozy atmosphere, lovely family run business. Cater to all your needs. I definitely recommend this restaurant. I've been to other Japanese restaurants and they do not compare. A++++ read more

The food here is amazing. I've traveled all over the country, and no place has as much character as mosh moshi. The food is awesome, and they have the best salmon belly sushi I have ever tasted. read more

The service was good and the chefs adorable, but the quality of the sashimi was lacking... Not fresh enough.

I wanted to like the place. It seems really homey, with pictures of Sam's children. We sat at the sushi bar and Sam incredibly kind and greeted us. On the side of the windows, I saw chopstick holders with names labeled on them. I'm assuming these are for the regular diners. Very cool. If you want the gist of this review, just skip to the last paragraph. The biggest reason why I give this place is a big fat one star is for the Korean hostess and the mediocre food was an insult to injury. Upon entering, a server was sweet and asked where we would like to sit. I paused to look at my companion and the hostess says in what comes off as a rude tone, "Where do you want to sit?" Service from the server was great and she was nice. She got us tea promptly. Then Sam asked for our order and we gave it to him Later the Korean hostess asked us what we ordered. We gave it to her, and it was annoying, because I'm there to have a dining experience, i.e talking to my friend. I'm not there to put my order down three times. Once when the chef asked for it, the second time when she asked what we ordered and the third time when she decided she didn't want to write down what we order and have us fill out the check boxes. I mean, we could have just stuck with checking the box in the beginning but the chef asked for the order. So... straighten out your ordering system! When we were finally given our food and I find that the sushi was eh, but better than other sushi places in noho. Although that's not saying much, my tuna hand roll was despicable. The menu says a regular hand roll was 4.95 and the hostess over charged me a dollar for a crappy hand roll that featured slightly freeze-burned tuna shavings. In addition, we were given an extra roll that we did not order and returned it. The hostess then returned with our check sheet and insisted that we ordered it. We said no, and she kept pointing at a checked box for MY hand roll. I kept saying that was mine and she kept insisting we ordered it. Then my companion pointed out the fact that the box for the roll she insisted we ordered was not checked. She backed down then, and then said something along the lines of "Don't check the box for something you already ordered." EXCUSE ME, YOU'RE THE ONE WHO TOLD ME TO CHECK WHAT WE ORDER. She's an incredibly rude woman who never apologized. Maybe she was having a tough day, I don't know, but I feel bad for the restaurant because Sam and the server seemed great. The hostess was the one who ruined the dining experience. Overall, rude service, mispricing, and overpriced mediocre sushi. Yes, this review is harsh, but people dine out to get decent service, not to get accused of ordering a roll we obviously didn't order. Oh yeah, and it's true what reviews say. This place is probably the best sushi place in noho (out of what? three other competitors?), but that's not saying much. If you're from a city that has great sushi, and you know what good sushi is, don't expect much from here. read more

the rolls are whatever. not that amazing. i prefer outside rolls and from what ive gotten there they dont seem to have them. they are also a little pricey. the owners are nice and there is this one waitress whos great. fav part about this place is the sake bombs! so fun. this one great lady shows you how to do it and shes hilarious. went there once tho and had a terrible waitress who told me they didnt have sake bombs. i was like um yea you do and then she came and was like oh i guess we do but didnt even say sorry... sit upstairs and look out over hamp. read more

As good as any other "sushi" place in Noho. Rolls are creative, but pricey. Service was good and the view form upstairs was nice. Probably the best in Northampton, but there really is no exceptional sushi in western Mass. read more

My husband and I had a terrific dinner at Moshi Moshi last night! We ordered the shrimp shumai, which were delicate little pillows and the wasabi shumai, which cleared out my sinuses but were tasty. Not for the faint of heart! The stars thought were the volcano roll and the caterpillar roll, named in honor of Eric Carle, author of the kids' book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar. It looks like one, but tastes fantastic, as does the volcano roll. The staff were welcoming and friendly. It wasn't particularly busy, so our food came quickly. It was beautifully presented. We live over an hour away, but we'll be back! read more

From the moment and you are welcomed with a boisterous MOSHI MOSHI until the final drop of sake, this is a Northampton MUST. The crunchy spicy tuna roll is second to none. The staff is very helpful to newbies. I have been going here for several year and absolutely adore the food, sake, and over all experience. Only downside is parking... but that is the case with all Downtown Noho restaurants. read more

Moshi Moshi in Japanese stands for Mushy Mushy. We've had a LOT of sushi and this was the worst we've had. This was 2-day old-tasting sushi, dried out and microwaved. Even the wasabi looked old with a dark crusty layer! We should have known that Osaka, the other sushi restaurant in North Hampton, was busy on a Sat night and this place was the reason. Stay Away!!!!! We should have known. Horrible. Wish we could give it ZERO stars read more

We have been to Moshi Moshi three or four times this year already, and have enjoyed the sushi every time. About half the times we go we are served "complimentary" items "from the chef," like miso soup and seaweed salad- probably part of their regular routine at the restaurant, but definitely a sweet touch. We've only had cut rolls, and each has been really great, including the vegetarian rolls. We especially like ordering spicy tuna rolls and LOVE their salmon skin roll. We'll definitely be going back! read more

We LOVE moshi moshi!! Our dinner is always amazing!! The service is great and the atmosphere is joyful and uplifting.

My husband and I go here whenever we have some extra cash and want to have an amazing meal. The staff is super friendly, especially Sam and Kimi, to the point that they know us by name and make a point to ask how things have been, and actually remember conversations past. The sushi is simply amazing; I have never had a dish here that I was disappointed with. I have some issues with spicy things, and Sam will go out of his way to adapt rolls for me without the spice, and on several occasions has created something just for me when I wanted to try something new. We love going here for a nice relaxed meal that we know we'll love. read more

I had big expectations for Moshi Moshi! Very much recommended, however I was quite disappointed with the portions. Very small for the price. Food was fresh and yummy but we spent a lot and did not get our money's worth. read more
