Has potential to be a neighborhood staple, but... Food quality is not great. I'd imagine if they could get ahold of one the elusive, grossly over-priced MA liquor licenses, this small locally-owned business would be able to make the margins necessary to serve higher quality food as reflected by the prices. A perfect example of all things wrong with Boston's dining scene as a result of archaic over-regulation.

Great sushi and service, convenient location. Everything is always fresh - their agedashi tofu is perfect!

Incredible! I went for dinner and can't say enough about how good the food was. We tried the pork gyoza, tuna tartar, miso soup, udon noodles, spicy salmon roll and the southie roll. They did not miss! The salmon roll is a MUST get. I am a sushi fanatic and it was one of the tastiest rolls I have ever had. Crazy good. The udon noodles were great too but if I am being picky, there was too much cabbage, and not enough noodles, and I might recommend getting it with shrimp instead of chicken. But honestly, I might just get 2 spicy salmon rolls to myself the next time I go - I am already craving another!! My other complaint is that we went on a cold night and every time the front door opened the entire place had a cold breeze rush through, so it was a bit chilly. Sitting at the first table next to the door would be rough!

Good food. Nice to grab a bite at. Sushi combo is a great pick and the miso soup is fab

It’s one of those places where it makes a difference which day of the week you go. It’s good. It could have been a bit better. The atmosphere isn’t great, but it’s small, so not sure what you could do with it. Servers friendly and helpful.
The food at this place seemed good enough, however I wouldn't really know seeing as that the hour I had set aside for dinner before a flight was seemingly not enough time to get us anything other than one appetizer. After waiting 45 minutes, we finally got an appetizer, and shortly after asked to take the rest to go, since I had a flight to catch. We were told that it would be at least another 10 minutes because they were "very busy." This wasn't the best excuse, seeing that the entire restaurant was visible to me, and there were only about 9 other people there. We were given a plate of seaweed salad on the house, but it would have been nice to have been comped a bit more, seeing as that we had to walk away without getting most of our meal. Service like this isn't acceptable in a major city, they need to figure it out.

I love this restaurant! It's delicious, cozy, fairly priced and so clean it's amazing. I want whoever keeps this place up in my house. Staff is familiar and charming and the food is always on point.

Watch out ! they added 18% party of 6 gratuity to a 3 person table and a bill of approximately $140. sketchy and illegal practice and they got a double tip but a last visit from me & mine.check your itemized receipt....

I love Moko! While it is not actually a hidden gem (they are consistently busy with takeout orders) the real gem is their restaurant itself! You can easily grab a table most nights and get to enjoy their delicious food and awesome wait staff. They always play good music as well! Their new truffle toro roll (pictured) is amazing and hopefully will stick around on their menu for a long time. Always a 10/10 at Moko.

Moko is my safe space for sushi. Casual and homey and delicious. Owners are sooo friendly, sushi is good quality and great value, restaurant itself is so cozy for eating in, take out is always super reliable! My favorites are the sushi regular combo or deluxe, southie roll, hamachi maki, and ikura sushi.
