Mokutanya

An awesome place to go to with friends or coworkers. We went here on a Saturday night for a work party and it was a great experience. The food is well priced and the wagyu was delicious as hell. The sakes as well were very well priced and were STRONG. Will definitely be going back.

We did not know what to expect going in but this was an amazing experience. Having just come from Japan weeks earlier - the food and service were what we came to expect traveling through Japan. I could list everything we ate from the ramen to the salmon wrapped with bacon. Nothing missed. And my daughter loves K-pop so the music worked out for us. Maybe not everyone would want that but being a lover of music and not knowing the music- I was good with it. That might be the only variable for some.

I haven’t been here in about 3 years and could not wait to eat here again. Last time it was quite the exquisite experience. This time however, was woefully miserable. We immediately got a table when we arrived for our reservation, and everything started out normal, but then we were left waiting a long time after we got our miso soup. The next set of food came out and then we were forgotten again. We had to ask if our food was coming. Grilled squid was cold. The lobster tail was dry, overdone, and tasteless, actually the shell was burnt and flaking off. The only thing that was really good was the miso soup. Everything else was either undercooked or overcooked, or over seasoned. Definitely not coming back.

Came to try the ramen. Not bad, but I guess this must be a pattern in the US - Instead of focusing on bringing out subtle flavors, like, in this case, the umami of the beef in the soup, there's a tendency to overpower with either garlic or pepper, rendering the taste buds paralyzed. But the akagyu was definitely tasty! Great service too!

This restaurant has really gone downhill. The exterior looks like a flood hit their outdoor space and they suspended cleanup; upturned turf under a tented parking area. The bathroom at 7:15 PM was disgusting. Not just messy, the floor clearly hadn't gotten a scrub in ages, ingrained dirt, water and paper everywhere which makes one wonder about the sanitary condition of the kitchen. Our server was informed, cheery and gregarious, however, we ordered a 1.8L bottle of Dassai 45, tea and beers so it was obvious the 4 of us were going to celebrate and order a significant amount of food, but service went south with our order. Our hamachi carpaccio tapas came at the end of dinner. Two times, two servers, we asked for 1 portion of rice we'd ordered, finally, we informed a server, "don't worry abo
