The restaurant features a stylish, speakeasy-inspired atmosphere where guests can watch chefs craft sushi right in front of them, creating an engaging and immersive environment.

Had an amazing experience at Motto Handroll Bar, amazing food, ambiance, service an the cocktails are beautifully made. The atmosphere is very warm, perfect place for a special outing with your significant other. The reason for the 4 star review is because although the food is of high quality, the portions are very small for the price paid.

Incroyable restaurant de rolls japonais. Tout est exécuté devant les clients & servi au comptoir.
Le service est attentionné comme la clientèle doit avoir quitté en 1h15 pour permettre une rotation puisque les réservations ne sont pas acceptées. Certains diront que le serveur vient trop souvent les voir, mais dans le contexte, c'est pour permettre à la clientèle de commander dans le temps imposé, donc tout à fait normal & voulu.
Quant à la qualité de la nourriture, tout est irréprochable. La fraîcheur est au rendez-vous. Le mariage des sauces avec les poissons est réfléchi & le résultat est parfait.
On y retourne définitivement.

Motto was a fantastic experience. I sat at the counter & asked the chef for recommendations - he suggested the scallop handroll & the hamachi crudo, & both were outstanding. The scallop in particular was so fresh & perfectly balanced that I ended up ordering a second one. Each handroll was made right in front of me & served immediately, which made a huge difference in texture & flavor.

It actually reminded me a lot of Kazunori in New York - same focus on quality, simplicity, & timing - but with its own distinct charm. The ambiance was intimate & stylish without feeling stuffy, making it perfect for a date night or a relaxed but special evening out. I'd absolutely go back.

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.
