    I had the Greek omelet but asked for it to be a scramble. I also added a side of home fries. The ingredients are fresh and the cook definitely knows what he is doing. The venue is a bit dated. I definitely want to go back and see what their lunch is like.

    This place is awesome. I recommend the chipotle grilled chicken in a wrap, hero or on a roll. It is always delicious and made with fresh ingredients. So far, the experience with their customer service is excellent in person and through delivery. The employees are very nice, friendly and very polite. Today, i placed an order through delivery and 5min later i got a phone call that they do not deliver at this hour anymore. However, Christine made an exception to make sure my food is delivered and that i would say deserves a 5 star rating:)

    If I could them 0 stars I would, first off the presentation was just ridiculous!! The reviews with 5 stars must be very good friends of the establishment, over an hour wait for breakfast to get cold food, and on top of it it was late!! Buyer beware smh. The eggs tasted like it was cooked in fish oil the home fries, if that's what they want to call it was watery, tasteless and disgusting. The chivito melt was dry and the bread tasted like old card board.

    This place is getting two stars for accurate delivery time and the fact that it is a local business. But the food was really bad. The chicken parm sandwich was tasteless. The wings were soggy and overly battered. I was not impressed with the quality of food from this restaurant. Very disappointing!

    What a refreshing and exciting new addition to the neighborhood. Urban gourmet brings enthusiasm to food for our community. What can I say, I've sampled all that I can and will continue to indulge from the hot bar and bakery. If you haven't visited, I implore you to do so.

    Went there with my family. Saw a roach unhurriedly climbing up the wall (probably on its way back…read moreto its family). I called the manager's attention to it. The manager pretended not to see it first, but when I insisted that it was indeed a cockroach the manager looked a little closer and said, "that's not our Loach" (yes, she literally said loach). Yelp has lots of other good choices. I wouldn't go here again if the food was free.

    ZERO STARS. If I…read morecould give zero stars, I would. The food is nothing special. The service is absolutely atrocious. The bar is in hell and they don't even reach that. My mom mistakenly took one dinner item - a little piece of salmon, not even a whole serving - onto her plate (mind you, they switch to dinner DURING lunch without really telling anyone, which can be very confusing), and the waitresses ganged up on her and were extremely rude to her, even after she explained she didn't know and it was by mistake. One of the waitresses went as far as to take the fish off her plate. What kind of abysmal treatment of a customer is that? It was an ACCIDENT. You don't take food off of a customer's plate and throw it in the garbage right in front of her face! Is it better to waste food and subject a customer to humiliating treatment than to just nicely explain to her what foods not to take and just let her have the little piece of fish? I will never return to this place. Absolutely terrible and rude staff. Don't ever go here, go spend your hard earned money somewhere else. And shame on you, all the staff that work here.

We ordered sushi as an app. They were out of the fish we wanted, so we only had a roll. It's sad how little fish was in this thing. The Tempura was very good. Hibachi Time. We were given 3 sauces with NO explanation on what they are, their flavors, or what to do with them. 100% of what we ate was a 5 or less. Just the lowest quality of ingredients, and everything tasted the same. We ate maybe 15% of the Habachi Food. I will never be going back, and wish I had not gone.

The atmosphere is modern and stylish with a nice bar area that lots of people mention in other reviews. The vibe feels lively but still relaxed enough for lunch or drinks with friends. They have a sleek interior and the bar is a fun spot to hang out. Their happy hour is only on Thursdays from 4:30 to 6:30 and it's worth planning around that. I've grabbed a few happy hour bites and drinks and they are always good. They do have creative cocktails and quality sushi and small plates during happy hour. I will say their non-lunch prices are on the higher end compared to other Asian fusion places around here, but they do offer a big variety of options. You can get everything from sushi and sashimi to ramen, noodles, rice bowls, and more creative fusion entrees. For what you get the variety and quality make it worth it to me. The food is always yummy whether I am grabbing lunch, takeout, or eating in. Everything I have ordered has been flavorful, fresh, and comes out fast which I love when I am grabbing lunch on a work break or picking up takeout after a long day. I've never had a slow order or a mix-up with takeout which is something I appreciate. Overall Moca Asian Bistro is one of my favorite Asian fusion spots around Hewlett. The modern vibe, great bar, big menu, and consistently tasty food keep me coming back again and again. If you like variety, good happy hour deals, and quick service this is a great choice.

Between the individuals in our party, we ordered calamari, thai curry mussels, red red snapper with the sweet, spicy sauce and without, lamb chops and six boss. The lamb chops were a tad overcooked, but the rest of the food was really good Our drinks were nice. Service was a tad slow, but good experience overall.

    This restaurant holds a lot of nostalgia for me. When I lived in the area years ago, I ordered from…read morehere regularly because the food was always fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious. Recently, after nearly 10 years, I was back in the area visiting friends and suggested we order from there. I was excited to revisit my longtime favorite speciality, the chicken lo mein. What I remembered was a dish with a light, delicious sauce that perfectly blended Caribbean and Chinese flavors, with generous portions of tender, melt-in-your-mouth chicken. Unfortunately, the meal I received was nothing like I remembered. The lo mein contained small, hard pieces of chicken, the noodles were overcooked, and that signature sauce was nowhere to be found. Instead, the dish was extremely dry and tasted almost entirely of soy sauce. It was so unappetizing that I couldn't eat it and ended up throwing it away. It's disappointing to see so many restaurants raising prices while portions shrink and quality declines. What made this experience especially sad was realizing that the cherished memory I had of Henrica's lo mein has been completely overshadowed by this visit. I think this can improve with having chefs who create this fusion and love doing it! A favorite taste from my teenage years is now, unfortunately, just a memory. However, the service was pleasant and music was a vibe!!

Our waiter Malachi was so wonderful he was so helpful and made our drinks perfectly. The restaurant was well light and had the aroma of food in the air as R&B playing.
