First time here. I definitely enjoyed the sushi roll I ordered. Even in the to go box everything was arranged nicely for presentation. I got there when they first opened so they were not busy at all. The service was prompt. Upon entry into the restaurant, it's a very subdued place with music that wasn't too loud. I enjoyed my sushi and would be back again!
The restaurant was not busy at all when I arrived on a weekday afternoon. The place was dimly lit with a cool casual vibe on the inside and had a nice patio area for outdoor dining. The service was good and the wait time for the food was not that long. 1. Miso Soup: not too salty, warm, and very comforting despite the hot summer weather 2. Gyoza: good for an appetizer but not really anything that I have not tried before 3. Mochi Chirashi Bowl: presentation was clean with the sashimi assortment wrapped around a rice mound; the ratio of sashimi and rice surprisingly worked out even though I felt that there were more rice served in the dish Overall, Cafe Mochi is a nice spot to have a meal and chat with a friend. The food is pretty standard and not anything new that I have not seen or tried before.
One of my favorite spots to drop in for some sushi in tower grove area. Rolls are always solid and they have a good variety. Why I am really here though is the fried rice! Cafe Mochi is my all time go to spot for some take out fried rice in the STL. Great portion for a good price and the taste is next level. Not really a place I go to sit in just because of parking but when I have service has always been good.
Cafe Mochi is a vibrant sushi restaurant on South Grand in St. Louis, known for catering to a wide spectrum of sushi enthusiasts, from novices to experts. The interior walls are adorned in shades of pink and purple, creating a unique vibe. As we indulged in their sushi, the 2000s good tunes are taking over. I tried the lemon drop roll with salmon, crab, cream cheese avocado, lemon zest, trout roe & topped with white fish, honey wasabi mayo, scallions, tempura crumbs and a crab stick. Protip: add jalapeño for some spice. Peep my yelp chopsticks!
Been here a few times & my favorite is the Hawaiian! It's like a dessert in a roll. Seriously. There's a dip that taste like fruit dip with a pineapple topping. Good service. My waiter was nervous about my cough so he brought me a lemon tea to help soothe & I think it did actually help! I love that you can choose inside or patio seating. Would definitely be awesome for patio szn. Try out Cafe Mochi on S. Grand!
Great sushi in the heart of St. Louis city. We ate here on a Sunday evening and got seated right away. We were able to sit out on the patio in beautiful fall weather. The team was quickly attentive to us got our drinks and order right away. I will say the team did forget to put in our crab rangoons which were a miss that would normally let me leave 3 stars. I still give this 4 stars because the staff recognized it and offered to place it quickly but we already had more than enough sushi and removed it from our bill. Sushi at Cafe mochi is always consistent and delicious! This isnt going to be a high end romantic dinner but is going to be top great quality and definitely better than some of the standard sushi places especially in the midwest. Always get the Volcano roll :) We'll definitely be back!
Used to live on south grand and this place was my go to sushi place. They have the cutest location even tho the parking situation was ideal and I was always afraid that someone will give me a ticket. They have many items on the menu their pho noodle was surprisingly not bad, the sushi was definitely fresh and tasty! Will come back again if I'm in the area!!!
We were in town for vacation and wanted a really good sushi spot. This was one of the top recommendations we got from the locals. We went on a Sunday afternoon, and there was a private party going on, but we gladly sat outside because it was absolutely the perfect time of day. We were given our drinks and some time to look at the menu. There wasn't as much of a selection as I wanted, but husband and I both found a roll we wanted to try, plus we always get a Philly anywhere we go. I got the Fuji, and my husband got the Godzilla. The rolls were okay. I thought my roll was mostly going to be raw, but it was hot, like it had been cooked. My husband did get a cooked roll, and it was good. The Philly was perfect. We were checked on multiple times, and overall, it was a good experience, I just wish the sushi would have been a little better.
In the mood for sushi and teriyaki, we decided to give this place a shot while in town visiting. We tried the Mochi Rangoons, Philly Roll, Unakyu Roll and the Chicken Teriyaki Dinner (chicken teriyaki, salad, rice, veggies). The rolls were fine, nothing special but they satisfied my craving. The chicken teriyaki wasn't a huge portion but was decent. The salad dressing was pretty solid. Overall nothing really stood out but if you're in the mood for sushi, it will do!
I was looking for a place for lunch this Saturday and a local foodie recommended Cafe Mochi . Suddenly, I was craving sushi. The parking around this place is lacking but I was able to secure a spot not too far away and this is one of my favorite parts of St Louis so I wasn't too upset. We had a little wait time but nothing too bad. I did not realize that this place had a whole other section in the back. Our waiter was nice enough. Where we were sitting they did not have the lights on, and I'm assuming this is because there's a lot of sunlight that comes in so that's why you see Shadows on the pictures. My eyes were way bigger than my stomach and I ordered too much food. But it was all delicious. The rice is enough to share with a friend and the sushi rolls were a decent size. Will definitely be back!
One of my favorite spots over the years!! Amazing staff, cute spot, and the best crab Rangoon! I love how proportionate the filling to wonton ration is. I highly recommend the coconut curry pho, the plum wine, pink giesha (like a pink drink from Starbucks but a cocktail), and the mochi Rangoon!!
My husband and I had lunch here since we were in the area. They have one of our favorite sushi rolls so if we are ever in the area, we try to visit. Service was good and I was torn between two very different dishes. Our waitress was friendly and helped me make a choice and I wasn't disappointed. We ordered the Mochi rangoons. These are some of the best crab rangoons we've had. We shared the Volcano roll which is our favorite roll. It is filled with a seafood mixture and served warm. I highly recommend! My husband also ordered the Spicy Octopus Roll and the Futo-maki roll. He said they were good and really fresh. I had the Pan- seared salmon which had a lemongrass sauce. It was served with hibachi vegetables and steamed rice. The sear on the salmon was perfect and it was cooked well. The mushrooms in my hibachi vegetables were great. I wish there were more of those but it was heavier on the onions. This wasn't our first time but everything was still very good. Sidenote: I'm including pics of 2 other dishes we had in the past that we also really liked, the Lobster Tempura roll and the Goi cuon (Vietnamese spring rolls). read more

Oh, so good. My flight just got in from New York and I was craving someplace I hadn't been in a while, which happened to be Cafe Mochi. I came in the evening and there was still ample space. I was greeted immediately upon entering and shown to my table up one floor. Drink wise, I knew I wanted something with passion fruit but wasn't sure which one I wanted. With the servers suggestion, I got the passion fruit martini. Food wise, I went with the vegetable spring rolls and teriyaki steak with stir-fried veggies. My drink came out in a flash and it was smooth and refreshing. Not overly sweet but enough to where you could really taste the passion fruit. Shortly after my spring rolls and entree arrived. I tried the spring rolls first and they were piping hot. I tried the steak next and it was just as I had hoped: tender, flavorful, and succulent. After finishing my first drink, I decided to try the passion breeze next. After trying both, they each had their own distinct flavors. Obviously the martini was vodka based and the passion breeze has tequila. It's hard to choose which one I liked more because they were both good in their own right. Overall, my server and service were nothing short of amazing. Although I forgot his name, he was incredibly friendly, attentive, and was good at what he did. read more

I came in to place a to go order so I didn't get the full experience but it was still nice while I simply waited inside. They have a small parking lot right next door and lots of street parking. I ordered the lemon drop roll and some kind of shrimp tempura one. They were both, REALLY good. I loved the lemon zest on the roll and the tempura was nice and crunchy. I will definitely be back to dine in. I want to try the hibachi shrimp dinner next time. ;) Give it a taste! read more
We sat in the outside patio area for dinner and I wish there were a bit more lighting as the sun set. There's street parking and small parking lot. I had the Alaska Roll and Red Dragon Roll and nothing to complain about. Nothing too fancy but satisfied the sushi craving. The service was a little slow but the staff were friendly. Overall, a decent spot if you're in the area and want a quick fix. read more
This sushi place never disappoints and it's open on a Tuesday! Tried a new roll to me called the Volcano Roll. Wowza! So yummy and what a presentation. We also had the tempura which is always good! We had a great server who made sure we were well taken care of. We sat upstairs and it was clean and inviting. read more

After wandering down Grand and hovering around Cafe Mochi, a young lady walking by casually said to my friend and I to go ahead inside and order a Lemon Drop Sushi Roll. It piqued my interest wondering how it would taste. So we go inside. We were seated right away upstairs and judging by the smell (also shortly affirmed later) by the restroom. I try to tune out the pee smell and carry on with dinner since so many others have boasted about this place. I have a very sensitive sense of smell. It had very low lighting so I felt like I needed a tiki torch to see the menu and to see my thoughts on what I would decide to eat. I decided to order some crab rangoon, a ginger salad and a chicken teriyaki roll. My friend ordered tempura fried veggies and the Godzilla roll. The veggies really didn't have much flavor on the veggie itself nor its batter however the batter was very light and crispy. The ginger salad was nice and cold and the crab rangoon was built differently, but in a good way. It was more like a wonton/mini empanada. The dipping sauce it came with was amazing too. My chicken teriyaki roll was like rolling up a chicken teriyaki wrap in just rice intead of a tortilla. It was very filling and the chicken had a smokey taste to it. That wasabi will clear your sinuses out for the next 3-5 business years. Maybe I'm a little sensitive! The Godzilla roll was pretty good. It was a tempura roll so more fried stuff! Although some of the food lacked the flavor I was hoping to get, it was still overall okay. read more
I would recommend Cafe Mochi! It was my first time there and I went for the full sushi experience. The sashimi appetizer was delicious and tasted fresh. The sushi was yummy although I wish the specialty rolls weren't so pricey. I loved the amount of ginger they gave us. The service was great! Our server was personable and fun and gave us good recommendations on how much food to actually order for two people. We were seated upstairs where they have both booth and chair seating. Dining area was clean but the bathrooms could have been a little cleaner. Good casual dining spot for a lunch date :) read more
STL is opened up for in/out dining so we tried CM and was able to get an outdoor table that had 10% of the table infested with ants which I moved myself to an neighboring table. I ordered a bunch of house special rolls which did take longer to come out but eventually made it to table. Service was decent and seems 80% of all the tables inside was filled. Food was good overall. Parking was plentiful on side residential streets. read more

OMG SO GOOD! Ordered uber eats and I am so glad I did! I got the dragon roll and shrimp fried rice. DEVOURED them both over the course of two days. The dragon roll is huge but so tasty... arrived warm and full of flavor. I also really liked my shrimp fried rice because it was huge, not a lot of oil... I just added some red pepper flakes at home and boom- perfection. read more

This place used to be a gem. Now, be prepared for exhausting wait times to be acknowledge and served, wrong and missing orders, and the most disgusting plate of calamari you will ever see or smell. Sad. Sure we can have empathy for these kinds of jobs but I'm not paying $60 to be sad or to donate money or offer emotional support. I'm HUNGRY. read more

My go to sushi take out spot! My husband & crave it allll the time. The sushi is fresh, the apps are warm & delish, even after the car ride. Our favorite rolls are the volcano, rainbow, and spicy tuna (basic, but sooo good). I swear they have the BEST crab rangoon in the city- the dough is lighter & crispy, and they're filled to the brim with perfect crab filling. My husband is not a crab Rangoon fan, but he insists we order these every time. The gyoza are also fire! read more

Food was great but it angels a little funny in the restaurant, thankfully they have outside seating!!! Order the volcano roll is delicious!!! read more
The sashimi appetizer was pretty good, the gyoza was packed with flavors. The pink geisha I believe it was called tasted like a strawberry milkshake it was delicious! Service was wonderful they were all very attentive and kind. Food came right on time as well. Parking is only street parking. The restaurant was very clean and had a nice modern style. read more
Their sushi always tastes fresh and delicious. We tried the hurricane roll, Philly roll, and everything bagel roll. All were delicious. The everything bagel roll tastes mostly just like a fried Philly roll. My boyfriend tried the udon noodles, and wished the flavor packed a little more of a punch. We also had a side of crab rangoon. Their shape was different that I expected - they looked like dumplings. Regardless they were crisp and tasty. read more

I took my aunt for lunch on her birthday and we both enjoyed our food. The volcano roll was top tier. The presentation alone has my attention. I would come back specifically for that. I'll pass on the crab rangoons. They were folded over like an empanada and the flavor just wasn't there. read more
I have heard many good reviews about Cafe Mochi but I have always been skeptical because they offer both Japanese and Vietnamese dishes on their menu and I thought it was an odd combo. Finally, this weekend I decided to try it out when the weather was nice enough for a picnic at Tower Grove park. Their menu offer very standard selections for sushi rolls that you can find in any other restaurants. They do have house special rolls if you want to try out. We ordered 2 rolls, unagi roll and shrimp tempura rolls, an they were pretty good. They did not blow me away for the price I was very much satisfied. The restaurant has an even better deal during the weekday lunch. For $12 you can get a combo of 2 rolls and for $15 you can get a combo of 3 rolls. On the weekend, this deal does not apply but we paid $14 for 2 rolls and were not mad about it. I highly recommend the Cafe Mochi Chirashi bowl because it came with a good variety of sashimi. The price was very reasonable for it as well. The quality of the fish was pretty good for what I paid. Rice was soft and cooked just right. I used to go to Sushi Ai whenever I want to get my sushi craving fixed but I think I found my new favorite now! I will be returning frequently. read more
