Mott Street

“Mott St is one of those restaurants that really lives up to the hype. I went for brunch, and the burger was highly recommended—and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I made. It was absolutely delicious: juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. We also ordered the Pork Belly Benedict, and it was just as impressive. The combination of flavors was outstanding, and every bite was worth it. The atmosphere was lively yet comfortable, making the whole experience even better. Definitely a place that’s worth coming back to. I can’t wait to try more of the menu.”

“Such a great family dinner spot! We came with two littles and the restaurant was super accommodating and kid-friendly. We did have to wait a little for a high chair, but considering it was Mother’s Day, that honestly just showed how many families love this place too. Ester was amazing and helped guide us through the menu with recommendations. She even took a really good family photo of us outside! Everything was packed with flavor, but the whole fish and imperial rolls were standout favorites for me. Cocktails were legit and I also tried their $26 Calamansi Margarita, which could’ve been colder but it was also served over a big ice cube, so I appreciate that it was not watered down. Great food, great vibes, and really wonderful people!”

“It was my 2nd time to this place. Food is very good. Not many vegetarian options but whatever they have is good except the Silken Tofu dish Love their Oyster Mushrooms. They are so so good, but very small quantity Brussel Sprouts was ok not so great Crispy Chili Cauliflower is also so so good If u like garlic, their Garlic Rice are very good too Deji Delight was good too. And their Lichi Mocktail is fine too.”

“Visited for the first time on a Friday around 12:30 PM. The place was absolutely packed, so making a reservation is a must for the lunch rush! We were pleasantly surprised by a nice brunch menu that wasn't listed online and ordered a variety of dishes to share. The Highlights: Mott Burger, Kalbi & Eggs, and Shrimp & Grits: All the meats and seafood were incredibly tender, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor. Coconut Pancakes & Donuts: The three massive pancakes with hibiscus butter were amazing, and the warm lemon poppyseed donuts are a must-eat while hot! Gai Lan & Papaya Salad: Great savory and sweet/sour flavors with a nice kick. The Lowlights: Sumo Congee ($19): We upgraded to the "Sumo" size, but the portion wasn't actually that big for the price. Issan Sausage: Had a gamey taste that just wasn't for us (though the Sweet Longanisa was great). We paired everything with some refreshing lychee blossom and ginger beers. Overall, the flavors here are absolutely on point, though the prices run a bit high. Twenty dollars for a bowl congee?”

“First let’s talk about the food. The burger was delicious, but with $25 I expect it to be delicious. The steak was tender and well seasoned but the kimchi potato has 0 kimchi in it which was quite disappointing. The Gailan was burnt so I had to send it back, the second time it’s not burned but it’s watery, and the vegetable was not picked through since there were a bunch of very hard layer of the vegetable. Service wise I gave it 1, if I need to ask refill for water obviously the service was not great. And when I sent back the gailan mind you the white server told me, an East Asian person that ‘there was going to be some char on the vegetable since it’s cooked in a wok’. I’m offended by the gaslighting, first of all my family has used a wok in my entire life, the only reason it gets burnt (in their word chard’) is you had the heat way too high. Unless you cook it on a grill there’s no way to proper char it on a wok. And don’t send a white person to gaslight or ‘educate’ me on my culture, that’s a big no no. When we got the check the suggested tip was calculated after tax, which is such a greedy scam. I personally don’t appreciate any restaurant does it. Also why this whole restaurant only has one restroom when you serve burger?! There’s always a line even you just want to wash your hands!”
