   The owner was present during the shitshow which was his poor staff trying to keep up. Understaffed and unorganized, the entirety of the blame falls on the owner who decided it was a better idea to promise the full 14 course and only serve 8

   It was good food, great service but incredibly overpriced for what we got . Also there was not a clear menu, even if it was Valentine’s Day the owner should have mentioned that there was just one pre-fixe option. It was really expensive for the amount of food (the smallest nigiri ever) and an embarrassing dessert: a tea spoon of vanilla ice cream. The restaurant was overcrowded as we waited more than twenty minutes for our reservation.

   On arrival, made to stand outside in -4c because they weren’t “ready” for an enforced seating @ 7, to sit at a dirty table and from then on it went downhill. BYOB but no glasses, no wine key, the waiter carving the top off said BYOB bottle and still no glass for the Sake. The “valentines special” menu at $150 included “a welcome drink” of “champagne” - a less than half pour of Prosecco - one with an accoutrement of what looked like a toenail. Every dish dumped on the table like we were the afterthought, no ginger, no soy, no wasabi til requested. The ngiri was fine, nothing special or exciting. Dessert was some chocolate mousse presented like it had been scraped off the chef’s shoe into a ramekin. It was all disorganised and unimpressive for a special night. We decided not to tip - our right. This apparently irked the hostess, a tight faced girl with rbf who had already argued with other customers in our earshot earlier when the restaurant had messed up their booking and she was unrelentin. They had the lucky escape. She decided to make us aware of our lack of gratuity and followed us into the street - “you know that gratuity is not included?” “Why yes, we did.” “Then why have you not added it?” Relaying the above didn’t interest her and she turned tail to vanish inside. Don’t illicit feedback if you don’t want it lady…when I tried to continue said feedback, her diva went full on and she walked back out the restaurant - presumably so we didn’t give the game away to the other poor souls who were about to have a similar trauma - and stood there steadfast in her disbelief that anyone could possibly not be happy with average food, mediocre ambience and dismal service. “Have you been here before?” Suggesting this should be our expectation perhaps? More NoGo than Moko!

   So bad it’s hilarious. The sushi chef doesn’t know how to make sushi - he could barely shape the rice, it all fell apart when he would put the sushi down on our omakase plates. Everything is heavily sauced so you won’t notice the quality of the fish.

   Food was underwhelming. While some dishes were decent, overall, the flavors lacked depth, and the execution didn’t justify the price tag. The pacing was also off—courses came out slowly but without a sense of flow. Unfortunately, this meal didn’t deliver the refined and memorable experience we had hoped for.

   I’ve been to Moko a few times before and it was always amazing but unfortunately this last visit just wasn’t the best, the quality of the food wasn’t the same, the fish were slightly warm, the service was a little flat. Overall was a bit of a mid experience specially comparing to how great the place used to be

   Perfect date night spot! We sat at the bar, had a chance to talk with the chefs, and watched them prepare our courses.
