Sa'Moto

Food was okay at best (Americanized Japanese food) but so overpriced. For that it's totally not worth it. Location at Doheny room was pretty but doesn't make up for the okay food and exuberant pricing. Here was our order: Toro tartare- beautiful presentation, more like an amuse bouche for $34 Yellowtail carpaccio- Okay Shishito peppers- Okay, but it's hard to get this wrong Duck tacos- Good, basically Peking duck but in a fried wonton skin "taco" Hamachi tacos- Good, probably the best thing we had Kushi-age with shrimp and mushroom- Okay, but the shrimp was over cooked. It's served with a ranch tartare (which is just ranch dressing, strange and seemed cheap) Spicy tan tan noodles- Okay, wasn't really rich in flavor and not that spicy

There are a few Vegan options on the menu. The Vegetable Roll and Vegetable Dan Dan noodle are delicious! 🌱 Ate here with friends before a show next door at the Troubadour. Excellent service!

Don't sleep on Sa'Moto at Doheny Room! Excellent presentation and customer service. Cuisine is delicious, everything was tasty. Cant wait to go back to try more. Great ambiance if you're looking for a fun dinner spot. Full bar and separate sushi bar, what else would you need!

I loved the vibes of Sa’Moto. Super cute place to go to for date night, girls night, celebration of something or even solo at the bar. The atmosphere just sets an amazing mood. Personally i was not a big fan of the smoked ceviche three ways, not to say the dish is nasty because that’s not the case. I just found the tuna to be unappealing to my taste(which is unfortunate because i love tuna). The yellowtail i slightly enjoyed and the salmon was my favorite i was able to eat majority of the compared to the few bites of the tuna. The sushi rolls came in and saved the day for me! Fresh and flavorful. This was my first time trying soft shell crab tempura (OMG I’ve been missing out). (Not pictured) but my group also ordered the spicy edamame, very delicious they do not hold back on the spicy lo

The atmosphere and energy was amazing. The food arrived to our table in record time, and our waiter was on point the entire time. I was VERY IMPRESSED and will most definitely come again.
