Moto in City of London, Westminster

Came here to start off our little Birthday day out to treat my girlfriend who loves all things Japan. And we both HIGHLY recommend coming here! Let me just quickly summarise this place for the readers out there: - Knowledgeable, friendly and highly attentive staff - Amazing selection of sakes, cocktails, whiskeys, etc. - Food that's fresh and really tasty (highly recommend the Chicken Fry!) A bit of a hidden gem in Covent Garden that we'll definitely be back to for the sake flights and sake school! If you've been thinking about trying Japanese cuisine, or already love it, just get down here and enjoy yourself!

I really like the unique sake selections which are rare to see at other place. All the drinks and food are amazing and I definitely will come back soon! Highly recommended!!

Great food, chaotic service. Although food came out quickly, the appetizers and main meal came simultaneously, making it difficult to fit all the plates on our 2-person table. The owner was running around the dining room calling out entre names “who has the _______? “ And calling out for the entire room to hear that table such-and-such was still lacking drinks… uncomfortable for all the diners! Three stars are warranted for the fabulous food- I’ve not had finer Turkish food. Carefully review your bill: twice they presented the wrong table’s items, and they finally resorted to a bill of about 3 times what we ordered, with promises to refund the items we didn’t order. The server explained it would come out to the proper $50 once exchange rate was applied. When charged it came to $60 and when we pointed it out they insisted it was the card’s problem not theirs and that the charge was still pending. So we decided to await the credits they said they were applying. Never came.

Moto is a good spot for a different experience around Covent Garden. Guided sake tasting paired with light food items was a new for me. The staff was helpful in choosing something I enjoyed. I would come back

Even though we hadn’t booked the staff were great at ascertaining how long we would need to wait so a 5 minute wait wasn’t very long on a Friday night. The place is small but the atmosphere fun & diverse - whilst we were there they played a range of rock music! Cocktails very flavoursome & interesting. Food was lovely & served at a good pace. The staff were helpful & attentive, it is a truly great place. Quality of everything we had was very high so of course the cost is a little high but worth it! My friend is already planning other visits to ‘her newest major find’ (yes it’s that good - friends will pretend they found it first!!)

What an amazing experience! It's a pretty small, clean place, but very cozy. You might have to stay in a queue to get a spot, if the table was not booked. The food menu is small and clear. We really enjoyed fried chicken bites. When here ask for Francisco - he knows all the answers and will educate through the sake variety. You must try his made coctails too, they are such a piece of art and what a taste - nothing you have tried in your life! For sure it's a must when you are in London! They are the first Japanese sake bar in London! We will be back!

Perhaps this is more of a watering hole than a place for food because the menu is quite limited. But the bentos you get resemble something you might get on an aeroplane, flying economy. The taste of the sauces were quite good but the bulk of the box is rice. The chicken bento was certainly overpriced as was the pork one. The pork was very fatty. Perhaps the best content was the vegetable. Oh and the Japanese tea was pleasant. Nevertheless we definitely won't be going here again and the tables are the most uncomfortable I've ever come across.

really enjoyed a few hours here. The staff are very helpful and will give you recommendations if you are not sure which sake to choose.

Wondering around Covent Garden we stumbled on this tiny sake bar. Not knowing much about sake we had a very helpful waiter who gave us a couple of recommendations and even kindly halved the servings into two glasses so we got a taster each rather than having to share the same glass.

High recommended when you feel like enjoying a good glass of sake. Reasonably priced, and the bar snacks also tastes good. The fried chicken was very juicy, and the aubergine was also nice

Nice ambiance and lovely staffs There’s a great collection of sake and interesting cocktail choices. Small snacks like chicken fry and aubergine are delicious. Will come back again:)

Really fun place! Loved all of the sake I tried. Very new to wake and this place was the perfect introduction. Plus, staff was very friendly.

Passed this place by and looked modern and interesting. The staff are so knowledgeable about Sake and we tried it for the first time - delicious! Definitely recommend as a chilled, enjoyable sit down in busy London.

Excellent choice of sakes, described in an easy way to understand for sake newbies. The staffs are very kind and attentive. Highly recommended if you are around the Strand.

Very friendly and helpful staff. I had a great experience trying sake for the first time. They clearly know what they're doing and keeping people well informed about the unusual drinks.

Everyone is very knowledgable about sake, and are extremely friendly to boot! We will be recommending this place to friends and family, and we will be back ☺️ I have never had such great sake in one place!

On plonge dans un PUB Japonais, un bonne accueil et excellent service!! Superbe ambiance!! Je retournerais sans regret.

Passato una piacevolissima serata in questo locale giapponese aperto da poco, lo staff è cortese e mai invasivo e sa...
