"I had high hopes for finding an affordable sushi restaurant near my office, but dining in Soho, NY always seems to require stretching your budget. Although this place offers great lunch specials and appetizers, the disappointment came from the lack of freshness in the food. I only ordered appetizers because I brought my own lunch to work and needed some side dishes. The white rice I ordered appeared stale and discolored, lacking the freshness I expected. The Kani salad, a dish known for using fresh ingredients, also fell short with stale components and a lack of flavorful toppings. Freshness is a crucial factor in any restaurant, and this place definitely needs to work on improving it to at...

I had a wonderful experience at Mottsu and I am surprised that it only has a 3.4 star rating on Yelp. The food was delicious, particularly the naruto rolls which I recommend with spicy mayo. The Inaka Chicken ramen was the best I have ever had, with perfectly seasoned chicken and a flavorful broth. The service was quick and efficient, with the waiter taking our order promptly. The ambiance was lovely, with old Chinese paintings, hanging plants, and an aquarium adding to the aesthetic. The music selection, featuring K-pop artists like Jungkook, TWICE, and Newjeans, was also enjoyable. Overall, I would rate this restaurant 5/5.

My friend and I stopped here for a light lunch/appetizer after our photoshoot. The outdoor aesthetic was very nice (a modern yet rustic setup and we were given menus and water within the first few minutes of sitting down. We decided to try the Japanese style fried chicken. The portion wasn't bad (photo doesn't show but you get about 8-9 pieces . It was fried very well but lacked flavor and seasoning. The sauce pairing (spicy sushi mayo? was a great choice, and it added some flavor back to the dish. When it came time to pay and leave, we had to wave/gesture for someone inside to attend to our table. There was only one other table dining on the other side, so crowd/being busy wasn't the case....
