    Sweet Potato Roll
    Raymond L.

    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.

    Miso soup

    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.

    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!

    We came on a Saturday at dinner time and just had a short wait time for a booth…read more The vibe was fine; nothing really unique, but had good mood lighting. Our waitress seemed really unsure of herself. We wondered if she may have been new, which is fine, but she just seemed like she wasn't confident or fully present. We had two appetizers; the Rangoon purses, I think they were called; which were nothing extraordinary. We also had the Calamari. It was HUGE. I've never seen such big pieces, they looked like onion rings. The presentation was so bland. No color, no sauces. I know there were sauce options on the table, but I was surprised given that the serving dishes had a spot for sauce, that they couldn't have whipped up something unique for the apps. My friends got the Hibachi and were underwhelmed; they didn't love the miso soup or salads, either. I had ordered the Tiger sushi roll and some Nigiri, which the menu just refers to as "sushi", which was weird. I would say the sushi was a step above Meijer sushi, honestly. Pretty chewy, very basic presentation. Nigiri was okay. No real desire to go back when there are better options.

    Service was outstanding from our waitress--the food did take a long time but it came out good…read more(though some of the appetizers were not that good [cold, messy plating, tough]) but you're here for the sashimi, nigiri, and rolls + the AYCE!! Great ambiance. I would come back for the service alone very kind waitresses.

I like the aesthetics with comfortable booths and modern touches. It's small but it feels like you have your own space. The service is consistently top tier on every level.

For $35.00 you have probably the same quality of food as Umi Seafood Hot Pot Sushi Buffett in City of Industry California. Caution..the oysters here are frozen though.

Sauces I suppose are supposed to be the seasoning, but not everyone does sauce. The only other thing is I wished they had more tables. Booths make people have to stand up, let people out who want more food, which we did a lot. All in all it was a good place to eat and experience something new. We will definitely return, and now that we know what to expect. My son is 12. He loved it and he's a picky eater
