3 Kinds Of Fish Naruto Roll
Daniel B.

Mottsu was a really great restaurant and I'm actually suprised that this place has a 3.4 star review on yelp. The food was overall great. The naruto rolls tasted nice and I recommend them with spicy mayonaise. The Inaka Chicken ramen was the best ramen I have ever tasted in my life. The chicken was seasoned well and all the other elements in the ramen soup added up. The service was good. The waiter asked us 2 minutes later right when we sat down what we wanted. The service is very fast. The environment I would say is very aesthetic. There were old style chinese paitings, hanging leaves, and an aquarium. Also the music was very good. They played K-pop artists such as Jungkook, TWICE, and Newjeans. Overall, 5/5

Without ever eating there I have the need to post a review based on pictures This picture is on Caviar /Dashpass obviously supplied by the restaurant That type Tamarazushi is nowhere to be found on their menu or on their delivery It's a shame to put such a pretty enticing picture as your lead picture ...Which is misleading and a waste of time scrolling through the app I would have tried it if available. Now. No. Highly recommend the restaurant removes it and puts actual pictures Not recommended

Sushi Lunch Special
Bonnie P.

Sushi Lunch Special review - I would highly recommend this as it is probably one of the most affordable sushi lunch spots in town - for 3 rolls to cost about 16 dollars, before tax and tip. So I ordered a variety - to sample their fishes and selection. I had the miso soup - classic version, quite yummy. Salmon Skin sushi roll - also a good one, definitely worthwhile. The skin was crunchy, paired well with the rice and sauce. Overall was on par with the classic roll. Spicy Tuna roll, instead of the spicy mayo on top, they mixed the spicy sauce and some crunchy (probable panko) into the mix, overall decent. I would have liked it without the hidden panko. Eel and avocado - this was a bit sadder, there was much much more avocado than eel - but still decent. This may have been my least favorite of the option I had there. Definitely would stop in for the lunch special, but nothing that is an absolute must-visit location. Although if you are looking for some decent cheap sushi rolls for lunch - it is worthwhile to stop in!

Japanese Style Fried Chicken
Crystal J.

My friend and I stopped here for a light lunch/appetizer after our photoshoot. The outdoor aesthetic was very nice (a modern yet rustic setup) and we were given menus and water within the first few minutes of sitting down. We decided to try the Japanese style fried chicken. The portion wasn't bad (photo doesn't show but you get about 8-9 pieces). It was fried very well but lacked flavor and seasoning. The sauce pairing (spicy sushi mayo?) was a great choice, and it added some flavor back to the dish. When it came time to pay and leave, we had to wave/gesture for someone inside to attend to our table. There was only one other table dining on the other side, so crowd/being busy wasn't the case. Overall, this place isn't on my list of spots to visit again, simply because fried chicken is a pretty straightforward menu item but it wasn't seasoned well, and that makes me hesitant to try a more complex dish from here.

Decor is quite bland, nothing exciting or eye catching. Service had to be the worst aspect of this place, I came in by myself during my lunch break and sat at the sushi bar. It took them 15 minutes to just bring over the menu I had to ask the sushi chef about 3 times. If the place was packed I would have been more understanding but it was just me and two other tables in the place. On to the food, it was just okay. Nothing super amazing or that stood out. Just a boring, can find anywhere bento box. Tempura was super crunchy though so that was enjoyable. The rest was just okay. The box also came with a 6 piece sushi roll; I picked the Tuna roll, two pieces of Shumai, rice, soup and salad. I did like how you could choose a different roll besides California without having to pay extra but for a $18 lunch special I thought it would be a little more... Special.

We went to this place for Omakase and we love it. The chef choice of the sushi was amazing and delicious and thank you for the chef for the entertainment. We really enjoyed here and will definitely coming again.

dancing eel roll, Salmon Avocado Roll, Spicy Salmon Roll, Miso Soup
Jen C.

Ok it's official, this will be my new go-to sushi spot!! We ordered 2 lunch special rolls (12-4pm): spicy salmon and salmon avocado and 1 special roll: dancing eel avocado. Each individual piece was HUGE and stuffed, fresh, and delicious. The spicy salmon was not dry, it had a good amount of spicy Mayo in it! Lunch meal comes with miso soup or salad. For dessert, we got tempura green tea ice cream. It's similar to deep fried ice cream but with a thicker batter! They take cash or card. Very pleasant staff, affordable meal, all hidden on a quiet street. This whole meal (3 rolls, 1 soup, 1 dessert) is enough for 2 ppl, maybe even 3 depending on your appetite haha! Boy am I happy to have found this place!! Outdoor and in door seating available.

Spicy tuna roll and shrimp tempura roll
Kayla C.

I've had both very good and very bad experiences with this place so it's honestly a toss up every time my roommates and I order sushi from here. It's good because it's one of the lesser expensive sushi places we order from but that's balanced by sometimes it's pretty disappointing. Maybe I'm just weird when it comes to sushi who knows!! This time it was particularly good. I got a couple tuna rolls and some eel dipping sauces. Usually ordering the tuna from here is your best bet in my opinion! Plus side is they are very fast when it comes to delivery so that's a plus in my book!!

Curry Ramen

Ordered the Curry Ramen bowl and my friend had the spicy Miso Ramen. Solid ramen spot.

Sushi Lunch Special  Yellowtail, Spicy Salmon Roll, and Miso Soup for 13$!
Miranda R.

Quick and easy! Went for the lunch special and ordered a miso, yellowtail, and spicy salmon roll for 13$! That's a deal for NY!

Eel/avocado, spicy salmon, salmon/avocado $16
Austin K.

This place is close to work, so I'll come in with co-workers on occasion. The service is pretty good, never crowded on a weekday during lunch. Overall, the menu is pretty standard Japanese American fare, with all the sushi/sashimi, teriyaki, udon, etc options you'd expect. The lunch specials are priced fairly for NYC. I ordered 3 rolls, which came with a miso soup. The quality was fine, and the fish was fresh. If this restaurant was in the suburbs, I'd probably rate it a 4. Overall, an acceptable option for a quick sushi fix, but doesn't stand up to the other options in the city.

STAPLE

!!!!!!! STAPLE IN MY SUSHI !!!!!!! I literally bit down on a STAPLE in my sushi! I can't imagine how many health code violations must have been broken in order for this to have happened. DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS RESTAURANT!

Andrea V.

Great little place I wandered into while I was in the area. Wasn't too packed for a Friday night but very busy regardless due to orders made on the phone. The wait staff was very attentive & kind & the sushi was delicious. I ordered from the specialty menu, a coconut shrimp mango, SO GOOD! It had some mango sauce along with eel such -which happens to be my favorite. Topped it off with a delicious ice cream tempura. Highly recommend because of the great service & scrumptious food.

Staple!!

Lots of people came in and out for takeout orders so that seems to be more of the target audience. Service was quick and polite, we were there until 9:30 and they definitely seemed ready for us to be out of there before the 10PM closing time. As for the specialty rolls, there were some pretty creative options - don't shy away from seemingly odd combinations because the flavors really do work well together. I appreciated the rice:fish ratio on all the rolls, the rice was a thin layer letting the flavor of the other ingredients really come through. The plain spicy tuna roll on the other hand was filled with spicy tuna mixed with something crunchy - maybe puffed rice? It seemed to be an unnecessary filler, I would have preferred just fish. I enjoyed the Lovers Dream and Golden Sunset roll the most. While I was debating it while ordering, in hindsight I would definitely get two rolls per person, maybe more if you're really hungry.

I saw the strong Yelp reviews and decided to take the leap with a pickup order. We ordered two specialty rolls and a spicy tuna roll. The restaurant itself is smaller than I expected, so I'm glad we opted for takeout. The staff was super friendly, and we only waited a few minutes while they completed our order. The Mystic Dragon roll was the standout for me-absolutely delicious. It had a variety of textures that gave it a great mouthfeel. I think this was my favorite of the three. All the flavors complemented each other beautifully. The strawberry sauce was unexpected but surprisingly worked! I love unique flavor combinations, and this one did not disappoint. The Torched King roll was also excellent. Salmon is my go-to for sushi, and the light torching gave it a subtle smoky flavor that I loved. The yuzu chili sauce added a nice kick--really flavorful and well-balanced. The Spicy Tuna roll was a classic and, of course, delicious. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place. I think I just found my new go-to sushi spot in the neighborhood!
