Ever declining quality 4/3/2008

I used to love to eat at Mottsu, where a very friendly staff of waitresses would always great us. But in the last 2 years this lovely staff has been replaced by an all male one, which is not very accomodating nor extremely friendly. The sushi has also declined in quality, especially since the prices are not extremely reasonable for what you get. I would rather pay a little more and have amazing sushi at Blue Ribbon Sushi or go the truly cheaper route near St. Mark's place where all the Japanese restaurants are (there you get the same quality if not even better at much better prices). Pros: Outside seating Cons: Bad quality, unfriendly service more

Great twilight meal deal 3/20/2004

Friday night and we needed a quick bite before going out. The 5-7pm meal deal was a pleasant surprise. For $15 we dined on delicious tiny smoked hor d'ouevres, fresh sashimi, great sushi (my man had chicken teriyaki), miso soup (or salad), green tea ice cream and green tea. Great value and not too filling. We will indeed be back. Pros: Great value before 7, delicious food more

Great Food 8/17/2003

I never have to wait more then 10 minutes to be seated. Food is great. Service is prompt. Best Rolls I've had in the city. If you feel adventurous, order your non standard Japanese dishes. Pros: Great food, service, easy access Cons: the front door, opens inward, should open outwards more

Penguins eat fish 1/27/2003

Unlike most other neighboring restaurants, Mottsu offers a nice, quiet relief to the pretentious, overbearing ""chic"" restaurants in Nolita. Mottsu offers a good selection of fresh sushi and kitchen entrees for a reasonable price. more

Yuk! 12/16/2002

Mottsu is getting worse and worse! The food is beyond terrible quality wise. The sushi is fishy and the pieces small, the entrees smell like institution food. Very disappointed. more

Good sushi for a good deal 10/16/2002

I have been going to Mottsu for years and not once have I ever been disappointed. I would recommend their tuna & salmon sushi and sashimi. Their rolls are not that fabulous. The atmosphere is clean and non-pretentious and the wait staff friendly. Pros: Tuna sashimi, Salmon sashimi, Good service Cons: Not opened enough!, Rolls are mediocre more

a great local 10/10/2002

Every neighborhood deserves a reliable local Japanese restaurant and this is mine. I order from here all the time and am never disappointed. The rolls are packed and the duck appetizer is mouth watering. A great place with value to match. more

Yummy! 8/22/2002

The sushi is so fresh and so reasonably priced, I can't wait to go back! more

Size doesn't matter 6/27/2002

At first glance, your portions might not look like much, but upon your first taste, you begin to realize you've been snookered by the concept of ""Bigger is better"". Other places boasting larger cuts of fish usually lack the freshness and tender texture of sushi served at Mottsu. Beware the spicy sauce, which can overpower the flavor of the fish. On my first visit, there was no wait, the service was attentive, and reasonably priced. It was an added bonus to sit outside and enjoy our meal on a quiet street without being inundated with noisy people and auto traffic. But inside is nothing to sneeze at, although very clean. Overall, a very pleasant experience. Pros: Fresh sushi, Nice sidewalk eating, Good service, clean Cons: Spicy SPICY sauce! more
