" Stopped by for a quick bite and was delighted with what I found! The ambiance lends itself well to a fun outing with friends or family. I settled on the vegetable ramen, which was hearty and enjoyable. However, I would've appreciated a little more protein. The service was brisk, and I was in and out quickly, which was just what I needed! " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere at Moto-i is truly remarkable! I went there for a date night and we were blown away by the decor and the enthusiasm of the staff. We ordered the ramen and several appetizers, including the bao buns. The flavor was on point, definitely felt like we were enjoying authentic Japanese food. Can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really excited to try Moto-i, especially since I heard they brew their own sake! The atmosphere was upbeat, and I enjoyed the decor. The ramen we had was tasty, but some flavors felt missed. Service was pleasant but I really wish they had a better seating arrangement for crowds. I’ll give them another chance for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Moto-i is an experience as much as it is a meal! The rooftop patio was calling my name, but it was closed. We tried the crab rangoons alongside a selection of ramen. While I loved the rangoons, I found the ramen a tad salty for my taste. The server was kind and helpful but missed a few table requests during the peak hour. Overall, enjoyable. " (*Curated Review*)

" Moto-i caught my eye because of its unique vibe. The drinks menu was expansive and their homemade sake was a highlight of the night. I enjoyed the ramen, although my friend felt it lacked depth. Service was attentive, and we had a great time overall. Would recommend for a fun night out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious! I tried their vegan options and was blown away. The mock duck buns were a surprise treat we didn't expect. The ramen options for vegans are commendable, and I was concerned it wouldn't fill me up, but I was pleasantly surprised. Just wish they upgraded the drink menu a bit because the non-alcoholic options were not my favorite. Nonetheless, great spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" I absolutely loved my visit to Moto-i! The service was great, and we really enjoyed the cozy atmosphere. The food came out quickly, and every dish was bursting with flavor. The ramen was authentic, and the spicy options had a delightful kick. I’m looking forward to coming back and trying their brunch offerings! " (*Curated Review*)
