Had a really great experience. William was awesome & made us feel super comfortable. He recommended the uni Hokkaido hand roll & it ended up being my favorite. Service was friendly, easygoing, & on point. Definitely coming back.
Nous y sommes allés à 4 personnes un samedi soir tôt & avons adoré notre expérience. Nous nous sommes laissés tenter par un menu dégustation préparé par le chef & c'était exquis. Tout était parfait! Nous recommandons chaudement cette endroit & allons y retourner sans faute.
My friends & I came here last week & we had a blast. From the atmosphere to the quality everything was top tier. Really recommend for a night out or for a date. Affordable price & amazing food & cocktails.
The food & the vibes were immaculate. Every roll was super fresh & flavorful, & the atmosphere made the whole experience even better. Definitely a place I'd recommend for a night out with the girls or a date.
Motto Hand Roll is that spot. The whole experience hits every sense - the high-end diffuser scent when you walk in, the stunning bar-style setup, the textures & flavours that are honestly next level, & décor that feels sleek & sexy. The hospitality ties it all together in such an effortless way.
It's the ideal place for a date night or a business dinner when you want to impress. Elevated, intimate, & unforgettable.
Would 10/10 recommend. Already planning my next visit.

Such an incredible dining experience! Motto truly lives up to the hype. The space is beautiful, with an atmosphere that feels both comfortable & effortlessly elegant. Every member of the staff is attentive & genuinely welcoming.
The chefs are extraordinary, each dish shows an impressive level of care & craftsmanship. The tuna is exceptional, & everything tastes incredibly fresh.
The cocktails are also phenomenal & pair perfectly with the menu.
I highly recommend Motto for a date night or any occasion when you want a truly memorable evening. An easy 10/10!
It's like discovering a hidden gem! This intimate sushi bar is cozy & the food is exquisite & the staff are lovely. We went on a Sunday night to have a better chance of being seated right away, although there are velvet covered benches along the window where you can be served a cocktail while you wait. I recommend sharing a few crudos plates & maybe an Asian salad. The handrolls are so yummy & crispy on the outside. I had 4 of them! It is not the place to hang out all evening as seating is 1 to 1.5 hours, just like such places in Japan. Oh, & the sake cups are really cool.
My friends & I had an excellent experience. The hand rolls were delicious, & the service was even better. We all left with full bellies & smiles on our faces. Could not recommend Motto Handroll Bar enough!
Honestly had a wonderful lunch at Motto. Our server Will was truely amazing & present during our service. The salmon is beyond this world ! So fresh & tasty. 10/10 would recommand for either lunch or dinner !
