Food was served fast and hot, service was alright however waiter was clattering loud dishes behind us that honestly sounded like he might have broke a few. The sound was made me jump. The music is at a nice volume and the restaurant looks clean. The waiter did not ask if we would like anything else or a dessert before he gave us the check, our waters were empty as well. Felt a little rushed and had to ask for a refill of water while we were paying as we did not get checked on at all. read more

Sushi Moto - Chicken Bibimbap - Japanese Near Me - Lansing, Michigan

Sushi is definitely sub-par in Lansing alone. I've yet to find one in my rotation. Sushi moto is decent. It's got good value as its pricing is a little less than around town. Located on the west side of Lansing on an off street it did have its own building and plenty of seating. I've actually been back here twice before my review here and both times it wasn't as busy. Service was good. International students I'm assuming. The ramen value at $12 is pretty good my kid says. I didn't get to try it but it looks hearty and worth it. He's the reason for my second visit as he wanted it again. So I got two try something different. First time I had the bento and for $22? It was a lot of food. A great dinner value. The food wasn't bad. It just wasn't great. But the value you get makes sense. Overall I'd go back. 3.6/5 read more

I've been here 2 separate times while visiting for a work trip. the food has been absolutely phenomenal both times. If you enjoy sushi this is the place to go. Rolls are huge compared to most other restaurants and ramen was excellent. Staff is so friendly and attentive when needed. Any time I come to the area I will be stopping in. read more

I come here at least once a month! I love the waiters, the food and the fact the sushi is made right next to us. The miso soup is great too! Great for a date night, group of friends or solo. Very price friendly. read more

Sushi is always amazing and fresh! Service is wonderful and timely. Whether its dine in or pick up, im always satisfied!

No matter how busy these guys are me and my girlfriend always seem to have a seat ready for us. This is a weekly spot for us! Highly recommend the Gyoza and California Roll. Very good food and staff. read more

Every bite i've had here has been good. Nice selection of reasonably priced rolls, both standards and creative, American-style. Fast service. Unpretentious, clean. A nice place to stop by for dinner. read more

Everything was honestly amazing. Like it literally smelled good walking into the restaurant. AMAZING food, prices, and vibe. Def check it out! read more

Well.... The guy at the front was nice unfortunately I won't be a returning customer. The shrimp in my sushi wasn't cleaned properly so I had to take the shrimp out of my shrimp tempura which defeated the purpose of ordering that so I feel I've wasted my money. The good thing is it wasn't expensive but I definitely wish I had gotten sushi elsewhere. read more

The food tastes great. Every dish in unique and food is not just limited to sushi. There is ramen, beer, and sides like miso soup and salad. The service is quick and very friendly. The ambient sound is not too loud but not terribly silent either. The atmosphere is nice and traditional with an artisanal feel. read more

Overall a decent place. Apparently they used to serve free soup and salad but no longer can due to cost of everything so that is a bummer. The miso soup was good as usual, edamame needed more seasoning to it. It was odd because on the menu they have a "cooked" nigiri and sashimi section but I wanted the smoked salmon nigiri raw and they said they couldn't do that- never been to a sushi place and had that issue. Passion and house rolls were both food- complimented each other well. Alaska roll is pretty boring and bland. Service was quick and efficient. read more

I do NOT recommend Sushi Moto. A family member suggested this place since we were visiting from out of town, and it was extremely disappointing. Not authentic sushi and horrible quality. My husband and I could not even finish it because it was so bad. We ordered the firecracker roll, yum yum roll, and tigers roll. All were bad. The honey wasabi sauce was just gross and strange. The eel sauce was fake. We did order two tako (octopus) nigiri. Those were the only decent things we got because it was what we expected. The octopus meat on top of rice. Don't waste your time or money on this place! read more

Our dinner included the tuna tower, a dozen pieces of sashimi, and a Snow White roll. The tuna tower was pretty okay. It had all the standard components, but it was a bit heavy in "spicy"mayo. Although the spicy mayo, and for that matter the eel sauce as well, tasted like the stuff you can get in a squeeze bottle at Kroger. It was not what I expected even though I did see that other review about the eel sauce being fake. The sashimi was perfect and the presentation was simple and understated. Salmon, snapper, Ahi, and Whitefish served on the usual radish with a side of wasabi and yellow ginger. The Snow White roll was waaaay overloaded with cucumber sticks. I mean, at least 2/3 of the inside of the roll was cucumber. I do not like watercress sandwiches, and I do not like them as a sushi roll either. The service was lacking, but I didn't really expect much in that area. It took a while to order, but part of that was on me for sifting through all four menus. The one thing I noticed was that the vast majority of choices were basically salmon, ahi, or an occasional yellow tail thrown in. I'll be on the lookout for more diversity and flavor. I'd rate a 2.5 if I could. So, 2 it is. read more

Sushi Moto is one of, if not the best, sushi restaurants in Michigan. While they may not be as flashy as others, the taste is second to none. You have to get their Pork potstickers. Their rolls are all so flavorful and portions are incredibly generous. You will not be disappointed at Sushi Moto read more

This is my favorite place. The wait staff are super friendly and always checking on me. The food is excellent! If I haven't eaten here at least once a week, then something is wrong! read more

Great sushi place with people who really care. Stick to their core sushi dishes and you won't be disappointed. Their restaurant is clean and has a great atmosphere so eating in is a treat even though take out is fantastic. read more

My husband and I love to go out for weekly date nights here. Fast and reliable and kind service and great selection of rolls. Husband doesn't like sushi so he usually gets the ramen or katsu and has nothing but good things to say about both. Relaxed atmosphere and quiet as well. read more

Everytime we go, dine in or take out, the food is delicious, best Sushi in the Lansing area! Definitely recommend.

Sushi Moto really blew us away this visit! It was definitely strange getting our temperatures checked at the door and having to write down our name/phone number to dine in, but also a little refreshing to know they are taking appropriate precautions to protect customers from COVID-19. We tried an appetizer and six different rolls so we could take some leftovers home for lunch the next day and they were all great. One other thing I love about this spot aside from their food is that their menu has pictures to help you visualize the portions and presentation. When there are so many options to choose from that tend to sound similar on paper, the images really help me make up my mind. Here was our line up this visit with individual reviews for each item: Pink pocket: This appetizer was delicious, although it came out at the same time as our meal. I probably should have specified that I wanted it prior to the meal as an appetizer since we ordered it at the same time as our rolls, so that's on me! Each piece had a bit of a sweetness to it with a subtle smokiness. I'd order it again for sure and give it *FOUR* stars. Sunday morning: This one has all of my favorite things in it, so naturally I loved it! Deep fried smoked salmon, tamago, and cream cheese. Creamy texture, salty and sweet... *FIVE* stars imho! Note: This roll is on the regular sheet menu (not the one with pictures). Snow White: This roll had a wasabi heat flavor paired with a spicy jalapeño ring atop a delicious tempura shrimp roll, and the flavor was actually really good. You would think that it's all that heat it would be unbearable, but it wasn't at all. *FOUR stars*! Pink blossom: Another one of my favorites! The fresh salmon with citrusy lemon pair so well together, and it makes for a great bite in between two otherwise "spicy" rolls like we had during our visit. *FIVE* stars! Kamikazi: This one was the spiciest of them all tonight and we really liked it. The sriracha spice is different from the wasabi heat, and I think this one may have been just a little spicier than the Snow White roll. It was a thicker roll and had a ton of tempura bits on top which seemed to have balanced out the heat, *FIVE* stars for this one! Florida: this one had mild to medium spice with a smoky finish. It was one of the thicker rolls we ordered and it was also one of our favorites. *FIVE* stars! Mountain: This one was loaded with tempura bits on top which gave it a nice crunch. The wasabi honey really gave it a sweet heat flavor. This one didn't stay together all that well, likely because it was piled high with toppings, but it was still delicious enough to earn *FOUR* stars! read more

I was in the mood for sushi so I decided to give this place a try. They were pretty crowded in there however they were able to accommodate my take-out order and get me out quickly. I ordered a California roll and the chicken yakisoba noodle dish. I was pleased with both. It's not the best California roll I've ever had but the portions are nice and the food is reasonably priced. I would go back for more take-out and or give dining in a try. read more

Doesn't look like much from the outside, but as an Vietnamese American in a small town with few sushi options, this place is hands down one of my favorite locations back in my hometown. The quality is high and so is the rice to fish ratio. Cost is not very bad at all and it is a place that I went to when visiting friends back home. In the small city of Lansing where you have very few restaurants to get high quality fish, sushi Moto is one of few options I had so thank god it was so good! Definitely recommend!!! read more

Ambiance in restaurant was wonderful, the staff were friendly and accommodating and the food was very good.

This is the best sushi place on this side of town. It was our lunch spot for 3 weeks straight

This was second visit. A nice, respectable sushi dinner was had both times. The miso soup and salad are a little unremarkable but its close to standard fare. The first time there was an order mix up and I got way too much food - I received the sushi and sashimi deluxe combo when I was looking for just the sushi deluxe. I didn't complain but my stomach was definitely overburdened when I left. The second trip I made sure the order was right and stuck with just the regular sushi which still had five pieces of nigiri and a california (or tuna if you prefer) roll. Not knowing well enough to leave well enough alone I also ordered one of their special rolls. The Vegas roll was cream cheese, mozzarella, avocado, and salmon (see pic). Now you wouldn't guess mozzallera is good on sushi (try the Boston roll at Sakura Battle Creek), but you would be wrong. That was all wrapped up and deep fried, then slathered with spicy mayo and eel sauce. It was as heavy as it sounds and a bit too much but I chowed it down anyway. So I left the place having eaten far more than intended, again. Prices are pretty good too. read more

I usually get carry out, but it's always good! No matter who is manning the register, they are always friendly and helpful.

Great for dine-in or take-out. Really love their sushi selection. My kids line the bento boxes. Good selection of beers and saki.

Found this sushi restaurant on Yelp with positive reviews so we decided to try last weekend. Looked busy with many tables occupied although we came quite early for dinner (around 4:30pm). We wanted to eat more vegetables this time so no meat/seafood at all. Ordered mango paradise roll and it was fresh, delicious with eel sauce and everything just blended perfectly. One of the best veggie sushi roll we have ever tried. Main dishes have Tofu yakisoba & Kitsune Udon. Kitsune Udon has sweet tofu which my husband really liked but just 2 long pieces and gone. My Yakisoba is a big dish with lots of soft tofu & veggie (carrot, cabbage, bell pepper, white onion etc). I couldn't finish mine but bring home some and heat up for next day. They have many options for sushi which certainly we will come back to try more. Servers were efficient and friendly, they moved around tables quite fast and got all empty dishes out. read more

Chicken Katsu is my favorite. Ordered it every time I came in. Cozy atmosphere and friendly staff.

A usually good eat for us, but I must say differently after experiencing food poisoning from eating the Crunch Crunch & Spider Rolls. So disappointed with the quality of their food after it made me feel so incredibly sick. read more

We ordered Sushi Moto to go! We got a few rolls to try and they are good sizes, we barely finished our food cause we over ordered. The Kamikaze roll is good and spicy, Florida was okay. The s/o like his Mexican roll, California roll, and spicy California roll. The presentation of each of the roll was very nice. We'd order again if we are in the area! read more

This place was delicious. I bought udon noodles with tofu and it was great! I paid $9.50 and had half of it to take home. They also serve salad and soup with every meal and red grapes after you are finished. I would definitely come back and this is probably my new favorite place for sushi/ noodles because of the price and service! Highly recommend trying this place! read more

Went to Sushi Moto for in 1st time in a year. Food wasn't bad but the service was horrible. NOT only did they raise the prices, they no longer serve soup or salad. The waiter didn't ask how our food was or if we needed a refill on our drinks. Really disappointed with the whole experience and will never go back. On a scale of 1of 10, it's a 1. read more

Came here for lunch, they took our temps and everyone wore masks. Ordered lunch specials Moto Combo and Tonkatsu Bento, both delicious! The sushi tasted fresh, tonkatsu and tempura were lightly battered and crispy, delicious soup and salad. Attentive service, nice quiet ambiance and clean restaurant. Highly recommending this local restaurant! read more

We recently moved to the west side and saw the good reviews about this place. It is quaint, clean and very nice atmosphere. The service was great and the prices are very reasonable. I ordered two basic rolls (California and spicy tuna), my husband had some specialty rolls. Everything came out as ordered and quickly. I like that an appetizer of ginger salad and miso soup is included. Only reason I am giving 4 stars instead of 5, is that my husband's rolls were huge. He ended up eating only half of his dish because the rolls were just too large and they kept falling apart when he tried to eat them. Otherwise a fantastic restaurant! I would definitely come again. read more

Wow! I went here with a group of friend tonight and we were all super pleased. Don't let the exterior fool you- it's a very nice interior. The service was awesome too. The food was excellent. We got a variety of rolls, goyza, bi bim bap and something called a Japanese egg roll. We were pleased to find that we also received free salad and soup. Prices were completely reasonable and everything was so good. I will be back for sure! read more
