Moko

6.3/10Japanese

AI-generated summary

This is the affordable pick, 15 pieces with miso soup, crispy rice and dessert for $65. People say the quality holds up for the money. The complaints are about everything around the fish, one diner sat through long gaps between pieces on an uncomfortable stool and found the forgettable.

    replying to u/daisyshark: Is it really? I see a lot of mixed reviews, but mostly it seems the restaurant runs some kind of bot to review bomb their Google reviews with 5 stars every few days or so.

    “I did not enjoy it. Service was a mess. Waitstaff fighting. Waiting way too long between pieces even though I was at the bar. Stool was the most uncomfortable I’ve ever sat in. The sushi was fine but not memorable.”

  • in:NYC equivalent to St John (London)?1 pts
    replying to u/nuanceinize: Surprised no one has said this one yet, but Commerce Inn has colonial-style tavern food in a really cool space, which reminds me a bit of St John. But I’m interpreting St John less as “super high end fancy” and more as “traditional and made for people who love interesting food.” It’s also maybe a little River cafe-ish menu wise, minus the extra poshness of west (even if it is in the west village). (I’ve been to the original St. John’s a few times plus the marylebone location, so that’s my experience of it).
