Wow, this might be the best sushi restaurant in denton!! Great atmosphere and delicious food, a wide selection on the menu. We had the lobster fried rice and a couple sushi rolls and it did not disappoint. The service was amazing. The place is fancy and fun!! Also, the food came out quick. read more

This sushi is delicious, they have interesting options like the Tafas. Service was great. Its very pricey, on the high side for the specialty rolls and sashimi. I came for a lunch and probably wouldn't come back unless a special occasion due to cost. read more

My wife and I had an amazing experience at Motto Sushi. The ambiance was relaxing and beautifully put together. The food was fresh and flavorful. The service was just as impressive; everyone was friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. One thing that really stood out were the unique "cat" inspired tea cups and sushi stick holders -- such a cool touch that added personality to the whole dining experience. Highly recommend Sushi Motto if you're looking for great sushi, great service, and a memorable atmosphere. We'll definitely be back! read more

My wife and I went for lunch. The place was really cute inside and the tables were mostly full of customers, but it didn't seem too busy. Our waiter was fantastic. He was knowledgeable about the menu and helped us make choices while also but being overbearing. We opted for some fried balls which were delicious, but very heavy. It gave me state fair vibes. We each could only eat one. We also ordered a fusion sushi in the creamy ono. It was escolar topped with seared mayonnaise and eel sauce. Really great bite. Lastly we ordered the godzilla roll. Really fresh and the rice was nice and firm. I would go back for more rolls. My only complaint was how expensive it all was. You get what you pay for usually, but this place was on par with nobu prices. This place is not nobu. It's more of an izakaya type vibe. read more

Sushi Motto is hands down the best sushi spot in Denton! The fish is incredibly fresh and the menu has an amazing variety of flavors to try. I've been a few times now and have been blown away each visit. The lemon salmon sushi is one of my favorites -- the perfect slice of salmon and bold, bright flavors. The madai truffle carpaccio had a nice kick, while the salmon avocado carpaccio was perfectly balanced.The unagi was also spot on, with just the right amount of sauce. Our server Peter was phenomenal -- very professional, knowledgeable about the menu, and his recommendations were outstanding. After living in Denton for over 10 years, I can confidently say no other sushi restaurant (Blue Ginger, J Sushi, or I Sushi) even comes close to Sushi Motto. read more

The fish was fresh, plus they carry one of our favorite dishes which I won't share so they don't run out when I go.

My husband and I were recommended to Motto Sushi by a manager at Marty B's... funny, I know! We tried it today for lunch and we're highly impressed! The sushi was fresh, delicious, and very original! We had a little chat with James Bond, the owner on our way out and know that we will be back again soon! Thank you for your hard work to make this restaurant successful so all of us can enjoy such amazing sushi! read more

The inside is so cute, clean and charming. The service was excellent. The menu is extensive and fairly priced. The sushi was just ok. My rolls were tough (chewy). The tempura shrimp was perfectly cooked but the sauce on top was odd. Hard to explain but sort of gelatinous. read more

I absolutely LOVED Motto Sushi! I was only in Texas for 3 days, but I KNEW I had to check out this spot. Jason, the waiter was really friendly and super personable. I had a great time. The fish on the sushi was so fatty and delicious, you can really taste the quality of the food and it's really set apart compared to other sushi restaurants I've tried. The decor and vibes are very pretty and I love the ambiance there with the pink trees and cutie string lights. If I come back to Texas again, I will NOT pass up on coming here!!! Love love love!!! read more

Motto sushi is a good spot with good food. The service is always good and the waiters know the menu and have some great suggestions. The menu is full of great foods the only problem is the price. It used to be a good spot to get some decent sushi at a great price. Now they have good sushi at an expensive price. I love their food but hate the price, you can find better sushi in town at the same or better price point. read more

Service was amazing! Pleasure of a great server and the chef came out to ensure everyone was happy with their food, and offered my son a lollipop. Food was really good, would come again and even though i can't recall this tuna dish that came in two pieces, it makes my mouth water thinking about it again. Their karaage was perfection, and my son enjoyed his fried rice. My husband also finished his entire meal and sushi, he loved the wagyu roll. Inside is cozy and they have a fish tank, nice and clean cute decor. read more

Motto Sushi - Roasted sea salt salmon - Sushi Bars Near Me - Denton, Texas

This place is so unique and so good. We decided last minute on the exit to Buccees to stop for a quick early dinner before continuing on to the concert. Husband said sushi sounds good! So luckily this was a quick turnaround and amazing. The rolls are HUGE! The egg rolls were a great start. We totally could have just had one roll and shared it but didn't know what we were committing to haha! We went with the Firecracker as it comes and the Hot Night Out with jalapeño added to it. Man. They were just the right touch of all the ingredients together. Not too much of anything which is hard to find. And definitely not overly fishy taste. Definitely would stop in again! The decor also was such a nice touch and made the vibe very chill but date night-ish. Very clean and definitely more than i expected. read more

We've been here quite a few times since moving from So Cal and it never disappoints. The sushi & the rolls are the best we've tried in DFW, entrees are so good and come with a good portion & variety.

The food and service consistently outperforms and exceeds expectations. We go about twice a month and enjoy our meals every time. From more traditional to America classics, the sushi, sashimi, and rolls are always great. Perfect for date night or any night! read more

I never expected to find sushi like this in Denton of all places but I am so happy. It's phenomenal. I HIGHLY recommend getting the Mango Salmon Roll. I don't even like mixing sweet and savory but this is my favorite roll here so far. I have eaten in and gotten to-go and I am super pleased with both. Everyone who works here is really nice and the vibes are pretty chill. read more

So good! I ate there yesterday & I'm returning today! I liked everything I've tried so far.

This used to be our favorite sushi restaurant in the Denton area but we recently visited after the remodel and it has gone way down hill. The service is excellent, however the food is not worth the astronomical pricing. We ordered our favorite appetizer - the creamy balls - and they were cold with a huge dollop of cream cheese inside. We shared the Spider Roll. It was plated excellently but was smaller than the rolls were the last time we were here and tasted like washed up seaweed smells. This place used to be packed with customers and food delivery drivers waiting on to go orders and it was dead on a Friday night. I hope they bring back their old menu before it goes under because we did love it. $32 for a small appetizer and a small sushi roll is not going to do well in Denton. read more

We've hopped around from sushi place to sushi place around the Denton, Highland Village, and Flower Mound areas. We tried this restaurant a couple of months ago and were VERY impressed, but time got away and I didn't do a review. We went again tonight and were blown away. Our sushi chef/owner was amazing and provided bespoke service that you'd get from a high end personalized chef. His recommendations were spot on, he explained his menu (that he created), and told us his story of how he worked up the ranks to a sushi chef. What an amazing experience and equally amazing food. You have to try the Godzilla (the seared tuna was to die for), Hot Night, and the Yellowtail Ceviche roll. You will not be disappointed. The menu is also extensive with other great looking Japanese dishes. The restaurant is clean, and has beautiful cherry blossom decor. It's located off the side of a strip mall with decent parking all around. This will be our sushi spot, hands down. read more
