Moto Sushi

The restaurant is located in a shopping plaza. The parking lot was full so you might need to park on side street but not a big issue. Walked inside was immediately greeted and welcomed. I was told to just pick a table to sit on. It was bit on the warmer side inside the small restaurant. I started looking at the menu and it was really small. Then I notices the prices of the " Premium Rolls". They only offered 25 premium rolls and all of them were heavy jazzed up with sauses, which not a fan of. I like to taste the freshness of the fish. The service was on point but does not make it ok to charge Beverly Hill prices. The cheapest roll was a cucumber roll which was a premium roll at $18.99. There are half dozen great sushi restaurants within 1 mile away I know of that you can get you money's worth. I decided to stick with the regular simple rolls because only rolls on menu without heavily saused. The end of our dinner the bill was $170.00 with tip for 2 people. I did leave somewhat hungry. The simple rolls were pretty pricey. The only other issue because the restaurant being really small. The sushi chef started chopping on cutting board which was pretty loud. It startled a little child and made her cry, she kept crying and chopping continued. At end of the day in my opinion it was not worth the price or experience, they offered nothing special.

I had a nice dinner here and the service was excellent. It’s a nice, casual sushi spot with a good menu. My edamame was crisp and my Moto Roll was well presented and tasted great. I’d rate it 5 stars except for the fact that they don’t accept Amex. I understand that Amex charges merchants higher processing fees but that’s not a valid excuse nowadays. My company provides me an Amex card and since I’m traveling for work I am required to use the card. I come to LA about 12 - 15 times per year and keep a list of good restaurants, etc. in each city. Unfortunately I won’t be adding Moto Sushi to my Glendale list. As a business owner I believe in making it as easy possible for the customer to spend money. They need to start accepting Amex and stop saving nickels only to lose dimes.

The worst service ever! The waitress made us feel very bad. We left $19 tip and she angrily requested $60. What about the prices of your sushi? Why did you make everything 30-40% more expensive??? We will never return to this horrible place. Remember! Tipping is not compulsory and you must be very thankful for every cent you receive!

The food was great, but it was the horrible service that ruined the whole experience. The server was horrendous, and on top of it the server put fried batter in a sushi roll when I can’t have gluten.. I spit it out before swallowing it, had her remake the roll, and she still tried to charge us for the roll.. there was no apology or effort in their end to make up for their big mistake. I would of come back here, but because the service was so bad, I will not be a repeated customer.
