“Absolutely delicious! The food came on time (appetizer almost immediately, sushi within 10 mins, and main dishes within 30). The waiter was attentive yet relaxed. Kinda loud inside, but the outdoor seating was a great option.”
“This was our first visit after Wok n Fire moved out and we loved the interior changes that were made. We went for Happy Hour and were seated at the bar because all of the tables were apparently reserved. We were greeted by Adam who was the only server in the bar. For Happy Hour they have a few drink specials and all Small Plates are half off. We asked about GF options and he was not too helpful but we made it work. My wife started with a Ginger Pina Martini with grilled pineapple infused vodka. She loved it ,I thought it was too sour. I tried their Toshi Old Fashion with Iwai 45 which is a Japanese blended whiskey. Very good. For our small plates we had Spicey Tuna Crispy Rice,Chicken Lettuce Wraps,BBQ Lollipops and a Philadelphia Roll. Hands down our favorite were the BBQ lollipops..sliced New York strip wrapped around lemongrass with a delicious sauce. On Tuesdays they offer half price rolls which makes us want to go back as some of their signature rolls sounded amazing. Plenty of parking is available and reservations are suggested..even for Happy Hour.”
“Fantastic sushi spot. Everything we ordered was incredibly fresh and beautifully presented. The sushi rolls were packed with flavor and made with very fresh fish. Each roll had a great balance of rice, fish, and toppings, and you could tell the quality of the ingredients was high. The salmon was especially good, buttery, tender, and cut perfectly. Every bite melted in your mouth. The sushi platter had a great variety and everything tasted clean and fresh. We also ordered some hot dishes, and they were just as good. The flavors were well balanced and everything came out hot and nicely plated. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere made it a really enjoyable place to sit down and have a great meal. Definitely a place I’d come back to again if you’re craving good sushi. 🍣”
“My all time favorite sushi place, and I’ve been to many sushi places. I spent 10 days in Japan this summer and still couldn’t find better sushi than what you get here in Moto i Moto St. Charles. The best roll by far is the Dynamite. With its explosive flavor and quality ingredients, it delivers exactly the taste you’d hope for. All of their other specialty rolls pretty much also always meet expectations. Their wasabi and ginger is of high quality and they know how to make a Shirley temple. They music and service creates a really nice place to have a fun or even intimate dinner experience. Be careful though, as it can get pretty busy every once in a while. But in between dinner and lunch hours it’s very available.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great service and a solid overall experience at Moto iMoto in St. Charles. The sashimi was really good and fresh. We enjoyed several rolls — the Dynamite Roll was the standout and definitely our favorite. The Spicy Tuna Roll was just okay compared to the others. The Tuna Tower was also good and nicely presented. The kids’ bento boxes were a pleasant surprise with very generous portions, which we appreciated. Service was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. Nothing that completely blew us away, but everything was good quality and enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back.”
