                                          Catered towards non-Asian palettes. Heavy flavors disguised the flaws in the ingredients.

                                          Our night was so enjoyable, and it started with our server. He was personable, helpful and good humored. The cocktails are creative, I had the Japantown and loved it. Very original, very refreshing. We shared the garlic fried rice, brussels sprouts, fire chicken and steak kalbi. Every bit of it was delicious. Truly, could not have been happier with the experience.

                                          Just a shame that you can’t order the burger at a table when it’s past 7pm. Don’t exactly see why that is a thing. We had to sit at the bar…

                                          Best Dish: Chili Cauliflower, Shrimp Noodles, Mott Burger (must have); and Steak Kalbi. We have been to Mott's about 4 times now including Brunch. Dinner is always packed and amazing. Brunch was different and enjoyable. Highly recommend especially reservations before 7 pm to order the burger at the table. After 7 pm, the burger is only available at the bar. The drinks/cocktails are also tasty. If you have 3 or 4 people, the chef tasting menu is worth it for the price.

                                          Everything was delicious, except the papaya salad. Do not get it unless you like hard to eat textures and food that reminds you of something you may feed your pet. 10/10 on every other dish we had- cauliflower, imperial rolls, squash, mushrooms (omg the miso!!!), Deji Delight, tofu, miso caramel budino.

                                          The food is fabulous. I had the pork belly benedict and I was thoroughly satisfied. Everything was cooked perfectly and I really enjoyed my meal.
