Mochiron Izakaya

Cozy spot with a great menu and a variety of dishes—I like to mix & match, bit of choose your own adventure. Different flavors, textures, temperatures to please the palate. They’ve got some solid lunch deals, though every now and then it’s nice to splurge and pick the pricier items that are unique (and you don’t have to travel to city for). Polite service and always feel welcomed/not rushed when dining solo.

What a hidden gem. If you are craving some very flavorful and spectacular Japanese food that will not break your wallet, go here. Our group of three ordered several appetizers and a meal. I would return just to eat appetizers. Totally recommend the Kaarage, their Yaki Gyoza, and their Takoyaki. These takoyaki’s were better than a Michelin recognized kiosk in Kyoto! I liked their Tempura Udon, but would try something different next time and would not order the salmon Onigiri as the rice texture was not perfect. Overall, great find!

Nice place for a solo date. Had some sake and the sukiyaki to warm up on a winter night and it was great - they light a little firestarter thing under the pot so it’ll bubble for a bit so your food will stay hot. The rice could’ve been fluffier but the broth helped. Server was super busy but courteous.

The sake I had was really good and light, the takoyaki and ramen really good, (you need to add the extra sauce to the ramen to make it perfect). The restroom decoration will surprise you…

lovee this place <3 will often come for date night/ anniversaries and they havent missed. ramen is light on the stomach but still really flavorful. skewers and appetizers are always great and can even fill you up a bit! service is great, one of their employees we see frequently is always smiling and jumping from table to table. table spacing can be a bit of a squeeze especially if you have a big party but its worth it!
