Came here on a whim for Valentine's Day dinner and we were lucky that they had some seats at the bar. My husband and I walk past this place all the time, and we didn't have super high expectations, but it was actually really great! The bartender was friendly and knowledgable, the drinks were tasty, the food was perfectly crisp or tender or seasoned as needed. Yum! What a wonderfully unexpected dinner! Especially loved the Piri Ten Calamari, which was so crisp and delicately fried, as well as the udon which was the right level of chewy and had a broth that I could not stop drinking even when I was well past full. Will certainly be back! read more

Ridiculous service We ate at Moshi Moshi before the john mayer concert. A party of 8 (and two kids they -being restraint - decided to pull to our table). So we had cocktails appetizers and a lot of dishes, about 800 dollars worth. So when it came to splitting the check, for 800 dollars, we asked for it four ways -our policy is only 2 That's ridiculous, we said. The device has a button called split. This isn't 3 people and 100 dollars this is 10 and 800 bucks with tip. Now someone might of said ducking ridiculous (as it was) and suddenly they escalated and went on about cursing. Like saying a curse word is a offense to all (no kids other than our teens present). Finally they split the check- and asked us to leave. So all of that drama after spending 800 bucks for 45 seconds of work to split. And fyi - no one cursed at the staff, people just say things like "that's ducking ridiculous". So hope they don't pretend we cursed our staff- for one person saying "that's a ducking ridiculous policy" read more

My younger daughter wanted to have a mother-daughter date with me so we went to Muji and the woman there recommended we come here. Moshi Moshi! This is a smallish restaurant on the corner where there is just so much construction. My daughter enjoyed yellowtail and salmon sashimi. I enjoyed the lunch special "Seoul Roll" it was so good. It had kimchi and black tobiko and raw fish ...all things I love! While my daughter excitedly shared stories about her love, school, and her dreams I remembered this was once my little girl, the picky eater who could debate her way out of eating food she didn't want to eat. Smart women make smart children. God help us all. This girl of mine used to scream bloody murder if I tried to feed her sushi as a child. Now? She orders it herself and eats it with great joy. I wonder if she remembers being so picky. Let's not tell her! The fish is wonderfully fresh, the beers and ciders are lovely, the service is good. I'm sure you'll enjoy it here too! Here's 4 stars. Ok bye. read more

the whiskey is amazing, the service is incredible, James is the best. the starters are unique, thoughtful, and delicious. the rolls are fantastic. easily one of the brightest gems in the dogpatch. an excellent place to come explore your palette for whiskey and sashimi. we were able to hang on their back patio with our dogs and it was so comfortable and fun! read more

The best place you're not eating. Moshi Moshi is my favorite sushi place I head to every time I'm in town. I've eaten at all the high end places in Los Angeles. Small bite size pieces of sushi.. lots of flare and fuss and what do I get in the end.. a big bill and I'm hungry in an hour. Moshi is just the opposite. Great portions, friendly staff, creative menu options and did mention the extensive Japanese Whiskey they have at the bar? Moshi Moshi is my go to sushi spot, it should be yours, too. Udon soup, maki rolls, grilled asparagus, vegan and vegetarian option.. this place goes all Close to Chase Center, Oracle Park, UCSF Benioff Children's hospital, Crane Cove park. In the dog patch part of the city, street parking off 18th. Cater your next event here or off-site, they go all out and really make a nice presentation. out If you haven't guessed already, I love this place. read more

I've been here many many times for dinner (which is great, more for vibes than perfect sushi though everything is v v v v good) but finally made it for LUNCH. I think this might be where it's at -- the space is cozy and calm and the menu is tighter. Tried the chicken udon and it was delicious and filling. Lots of great sushi/sashimi items on the menu, going for that next. So glad they're open for lunch, there's not a ton of good options in the neighborhood! read more

FYI: Their patio seating seems to be more desirable so make a reservation if you're aiming for that location. Otherwise, their dining room area usually has plenty of tables and it doesn't seem too long of a wait for walk ins. WHAT WE GOT: Bacon wrapped mochi, yasai korokke, tonkatsu dinner, rainbow spider roll PROS: SUPER fast service. We waited maybe like 5 minutes before our first appetizer came out and almost everything followed shortly after. Decent sized portions with pretty good flavors. Their appetizer menu is expansive and has a lot to offer. My favorite of the night had to be the bacon wrapped mochi. Nice chewy texture on the mochi with a nice spicy kick from the seasoning. We also ordered 2 of their cocktails (names are slipping me and they're not listed on their online menu) which were adequately strong in the liquor department and had a decent balance of the other flavors. CONS: The attentiveness of their service could use a little bit of work, not going to lie. We were served our 2 appetizers before anyone brought water over to us and that was also because we had asked for it. Our cocktails, which honestly should have been brought out first, were brought out second to last. The pork on the tonkatsu was unfortunately on the dry side, and the roll was average. Also considering the price of it, it was kinda underwhelming. read more

So my impression of this Japanese restaurant in Dogpatch rests on one malaprop uttered by the young, hip, and dare I say, Caucasian host as he answered the phone. He coolly and quickly said with cultural indifference, "Mosh-Mosh", like it was a two-syllable greeting you make while riding a Vespa on the Amalfi Coast. Dude, it's "Mo-SHI, Mo-SHI" with the accent on the second syllable like how my sistuhs say with animated deference. Jamie W. and I decided to stop here after getting preview access to the new Chase Center. It was pretty busy with a customer base more eclectic than I expected ranging from young Asian professionals to German tourists to biannual chicken teriyaki eaters to me and Jamie. We were taken aback that there was no regular Rainbow Roll on the menu, just an elaborate $23.95 mash-up called a Rainbow Spider with tempura soft-shell crab. They were willing to streamline it and serve us a $15.95 Mini-Rainbow Roll which wasn't really mini (photo: http://bit.ly/2LD4XOw). It was still eight pieces with the only extra being the red tobiko on top. We both went for entree salads for our mains both consisting of the usual suspects - mixed greens, avocado. Daikon, carrot, tomato, and cucumber with creamy sesame-miso dressing on the side. Jamie went for the $15.95 Hadaka Chicken Salad which featured a generous portion of shio-koji-marinated chicken breast, boneless and grilled mightily (photo: http://bit.ly/2LAxIuZ). Good and tender. I ordered the equally hearty $17.95 Salmon Shio Sslad which was a lightly salted fillet nicely grilled (photo: http://bit.ly/2LD5j7O). No complaints there either. As I took my last bite, I heard it again. "Mosh-Mosh". Ciao, dude. FOOD - 4 stars...fresh and nicely presented AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...modern and a bit crowded-feeling SERVICE - 2.5 stars...Mosh-Mosh TOTAL - 4 stars...saved by the food in Dogpatch RELATED - Turning Japanese?

I really like the ambiance of this restaurant. We decided to go for the outdoor seating and it was well decorated, with the lights and bench set up. Service was great! I knew the Hana Kappa was a favorite, so I felt like it was necessary for me to try. If didn't disappoint if you're looking for something more simple and no carbs. I also got the Hip Hop because Unagi/ Eel is my go-to. It was simple with avocado and eel sauce to top it off. overall. I would definitely come back. only to be seated outside of course haha read more

I love the vibe of this place! The service was amazing and the staff is really knowledgeable about the menu. Our server, James, was incredibly helpful and his food recommendations really enhanced our meal! The additions of the white soy sauce and their special wasabi with our sashimi have me looking forward to my next visit!! All of the fish was excellent quality and everything we ordered was interesting and delicious! They have an extensive Whiskey selection which I didn't expect, but was really happy about. This was just a wonderful dining experience all around. I highly recommend!! read more

2 stars only because of the great selection of drinks , delicious chicken karaage and great unagi nigiri (even thought I ordered the unagi bomb). Where to begin.... First of all we sat at our table for at least 15 minutes in the patio outside watching our server greet and take orders from everyone EXCEPT us. We understand it was busy but we would have appreciated some communication. We had to eventually send someone in the group to look for a staff member to take out order because the wait was taking to long. Then when our server came to take our order he seemed annoyed to be there and his attitude was rude. Who ever was working there on oct 14 definitely needs to receive better training. Over all good food but the experience left a bad taste and I won't be coming back. read more

What a hidden gem. From the outside it looks o-k, nothing fancy, but don't let that dissuade you. This place is amazing! Inside the bar is awesome and their back garden seating area is super cute, homey, and inviting. The food 100% lives up to expectations. I got the coconut panko fried ahi and it was amazing. Ordered a few of their tiny rolls and the rice to filling proportions was perfect, the rice itself was amazing, and even their ginger and wasabi tasted better than most sushi places. The jalapeño donburi was definitely a tad too spicy for me, but maybe I'm just too much of a lightweight when it comes to spicy food. Also, their house hot sake is the best. It comes in a teapot on top of this little candle warmer. To end the meal I wanted mochi ice cream, but they were sold out so I "settled" for their house made strawberry gelato. That gelato was better than salt and straw's strawberry tres leches ice cream! So good. Will return soon! read more

Can't give zero stars but wish I could! DO NOT GO HERE if you have any allergies to gluten. Wait staff clearly understood that I could not have gluten- I have celiac disease. After discussing with us what options were safe and others to avoid, I ordered a glass of iced tea. I didn't like the taste after a couple tries and asked a different wait staff if I could order something else because I didn't like it. She said sure! You probably don't like the Barley we put in it!!!!! Helloooooo... liquid gluten! The waiter that took our order, knew we had gluten allergies and delivered us the gluten-filled tea came by and laughed while he said sorry about that. I spoke to the manager and let know what happened. He said sorry that he has a friend whose mom has to avoid it to. ????? In the end I asked the manager to have a retraining of their staff on allergies and to make the menu easy to read so that customers can see that their only ice tea is gluten filled. It's not easy accessing and no one thinks to ask specifically does your tea have gluten in it??? read more

great ambiance. decent food. friendly staff. The food was just average, in my opinion: We ordered Futo Krispy and Golden Gate rolls. I did not like the Futo Krispy as they were warm from the deep-frying. However, I definitely recommend getting the Golden Gate roll. The unagi sauce on top truly up the flavor. On the side note, the bacon wrapped mochi is actually more like bacon wrapped rice cake/tteok-bokki :// I really liked their ambiance and vibe: candle-lit scene and friendly staff can go a long way for a perfect date night ;-) read more

Moshi Moshi was recommended to my friend and I a few days back by the manager of the restaurant. We decided to try it out and had a fantastic experience! One thing I loved (even though it's slightly nerdy lol) is that the digital menu allowed us to filter by vegetarian options. This was HUGE for me and made my experience so much better Also, the sushi was very appetizing. I personally liked the Half Moon Maki the best and the Shishito peppers were also fantastic! The restaurant ambiance was also peaceful and welcoming Overall, highly recommend this place! read more

Moshi Moshi is a reliable and never-too-crowded, affordable local joint for sushi! We've visited a few times in the past few months, mostly for dinner. It's not hard to get a last-minute reservation at Moshi Moshi which is great because stressing out over reservations is not fun. There is both indoor and outdoor seating, and I prefer the outdoor seating as its brightly lit and feels more festive than the indoor seating. The food is reasonably priced. It is still sushi, so it won't be cheap, but this won't break the bank either. The rolls and some of the nigiri are all reasonable. I'll certainly be back at Moshi Moshi again. read more

One of our fav spots! One of those places, it's where you hit up when it's your bday or guests in town that you wish to impress! Great sushi! Kids love the teriyaki beef/chicken bowls! Grab a reservation! read more

The food is alright and gets the job done for a quick takeout meal. They have a very standard menu.

I've been going to this place for about 15 or 20 years and it has been going downhill for the last few years. Let's start with the glory days when it was innovative, fresh and showcased great quality seafood with a little San Francisco flair. They had friendly staff and a buzzing happy hour with great bar food. The place had a real sense of liveliness with a great tempo, if that makes sense. Skip to last Thursday, 2/22/24. Nobody to greet us at the door and when we were met by a staff member, we waited while they pondered (for quite some time) which of the 7 open tables to seat us at, when the decision was made he simply pointed, no escort to the table, just pointed. He was busy, he wasn't the host and I got it, no biggie. QR code menu that took a while for my dining partner to reach and we were away. We were hungry and we sensed the server was a little in the weeds so we ordered a bunch of stuff. Edamame, gyoza and tempura came out fairly promptly, they were nice. The food runner had a very hectic energy about him and was efficacious. They were busy, apparently but when I looked around they had empty tables and those tables with patrons had their food, busy? Not long after the rest of the food arrived and I mean ALL of it. We still had the first 3 dishes on the table. The food runner started putting down the food on the table. It was obvious that it wasn't all going to fit but that didn't stop him trying. Just as he was about to start stacking plates on top of each other on the table my friend said "stop, what are you doing?" The food runner rolled his eyes and "well there's no more room, what else am I supposed to do?" I told him perhaps he could try to stagger the food so it's not, literally, piled on the table. "We are short staffed" came the reply. No attempt to amalgamate the appetizer plates to make room for the buffet of food he had in his hands. Fortunately he didn't bring the pork katsu as we were balancing plates already. We told him not to bring anything else for the table till we have eaten at least some of the food we had. We will often over order with the anticipation of taking some home. The overcrowded table made the dining experience awkward. On to the food, remember when I said this place used to be fresh and innovative? Yeh no. Gyoza, edamame and tempura were all good. However the same cannot be said about the rest of it. The tuna sashimi was obviously quick thawed and the texture was mealy and it was pretty much flavorless. The hamachi was also blah. The sushi rolls looked like they had been rolled by an intern on their first day, the rice didn't go all the way around and therefore they fell apart. Any fried ingredients in the sushi rolls lacked any crunch which indicated it had been cooked earlier in the day. The miso was very good. We had to hail a server to get some wasabi and ginger. As the table next to us was paying their bill, we overheard them say they received a pork katsu that they didn't order. It had been cooked and served when the rest of our food was served. Sounded like the food runner was too afraid to let the kitchen know we wanted to pace our meal a little and just dumped on to someone else. Enough, check please and it better not include a pork katsu. $160, for our food and a large bottle of iced tea. Yeh I tipped 10%. I NEVER tip less than 15-25%, I guess I can't say that any more. The whole experience was very disappointing and marks our last trip to the once fabulous Moshi Moshi. PS, they weren't that busy at any stage of the meal. read more

My favorite lunch spot and happy hour place at Mission Bay. High quality and great service: I love the special rolls, the seafood udon (I order this item with added steamed veggies for a super nourishing meal). The apps are yummy, too. The vibe and style of the place are great. Full bar. The back patio seating is great on sunny days. During the summer and early fall, don't miss the corn karaage. Moshi Moshi has been in business for 37 years, and it shows in how well they execute! Run, don't walk. Hai! read more

I tried the spicy tuna rolls and it met the standard. Then my co-worker, who picked up the office order and got way too much food for herself, insisted on sharing her smokerosemary scented ahi tuna with me. I haven't been able to stop thinking about how delicious her plate of rice, salad and ahi was. I am going back for more ASAP! (Haven't actually been to the restaurant yet though) read more

I will definitely return, although our first visit was average. Great job handling the pandemic with safety guidelines. It's a hassle but I'd rather have a restaurant be sticklers. Kept doors open for ventilation. Bring your jacket and maybe even another layer unless near a heat lamp. This part of SF can get chilly and windy. Reservations recommended and entire party must be present or you have to wait outside. Don't expect a luxurious interior. Blame it on the pandemic. While tastefully decorated, it feels sparse. Sake kama, Salmon collar, was cooked very well. Skin crispy nearly burnt, and the fatty tender parts were cooked through. If you are not used to this, it can be a pain to eat but the mix of textures is enjoyable for me. Ahi coconut katsu was very good. Tuna sashimi steak dipped in batter and quickly fried. The spicy sauce is just right. Big disappointment was beef teriyaki dinner. It took over 20 minutes to get it. You would think it would be medium rare to medium and served hot. Instead, was closer to rare and cold. Like they forgot to bring it to us. Ugh. Edible but not very good. Bar is fully stocked, but we didn't order any cocktails. Good first visit, look forward to try more dishes. Probably won't order the beef teriyaki again. read more

My group of three came on a Saturday night with no reservation, but the hostess was able to get us a table about an hour later. The service and food was really good.

The place itself was also nicely decorated and had a good vibe to it read more

Wow I'm so glad that I got the chance to experience the food at this place. Moshi Moshi has been around for 30 years, and it shows in a great way. The patio area is super cute and very thoughtfully decorated with succulents. I recently painted a mural on the front of the business and had the pleasure of meeting most of the staff. Lanny is the most amazing human I've met this past year. Super friendly and helpful, I'm happy to have had that experience with them. On to the food: We ordered The grilled hamachi - amazing, super crispy and the fish was cooked well. Chicken udon soup - just like my mom never made but wish she did! Spicy tuna - quality tuna and spice flavor And a few cocktails, that I can't remember. My gf and I had been on a cleanse diet for a month and this was our first cheat meal. I must disclose that I am in no way a health expert. But the food we had here, after not eating anything with high gluten or processed food for a month we were both surprised that we didn't feel any affects from our meal. Granted we did chose wisely and hen picking out what we ate that day. I will be back again and again. My new favorite japanese food spot in San Francisco!! read more

Decided to try this restaurant. After a ride on the muni we jumped off the train and entered Moshi Moshi. We were greeted right a way by a friendly host. We walked in with a party of 6, and even though tables were available he said there were some reservations coming in so it would be an hour or so wait and the patio was closed. While we were deciding what to do I decided to look around. The inside is not very big or fancy. The outdoor patio was cool but closed. See pictures. The music was a little too loud and the acoustics were bad so very hard to hear the host, still not sure of some of the things he was trying to say. We had to have him repeat almost everything the said. We decided to do takeout. The prices are pretty typical for most sushi places in Southern and Northern CA. There were some unique menu items and rolls. The menu was different in the way they described and listed their rolls (Standard, Americanized, etc.), more of a hassle than anything. Spent about $130 to order 8 rolls and some appetizers. The food was fine, but nothing special or memorable. The rolls were not very big. We got some gyoza and edamame and they were fine, just like any other placed you would get them from. Tried some avocado rolls, they were ok. The jet bunny mango roll was the best roll of the ones we were ordered. The obake, futo krispy, and caterpillar rolls were all ok. Nothing was wrong or bad, the food was good, but just ok. The host did say the food would be ready in 15-20 minutes, but it took about 35-40 minutes. read more

Came here before a warriors game on a Friday night and it was such a great experience! Although it did take a minute for our server to initially come over, everything after that was quick and he was so great. The menu was different than most sushi restaurants so we enjoyed trying a few new things like the tuna katsu and the deep fried calamari and green beans. My husband ordered sides of real wasabi and smoked soy sauce and he loved them. The sushi was fresh, the menu well priced, and the service was excellent. Can't wait to go back before another warriors game! read more

When I say we came to eat here for days, I mean weeks. Girl, I had the most scrumptious rolls I've had outside of Japan. They were full of meat, veg, and spice level and I sincerely enjoy every morsel, every nook, and every bite. There's something about Moshi Moshi that just makes you wanna order more rolls. My advice, forget getting a table and waiting 45 minutes. Do the bar and get yourself one of their fabulous cocktails. We enjoyed the huge Japanese whiskey selection they offer and were not disappointed by the extra pour that our bartender gave. Service was good but a little slow. However we were happy that they spaced our our meal. We got the Kara-age starter which was good, but pretty doughy and tasted almost flash frozen. Skip this app and head straight to the sushi and rolls, you won't be disappointed in how amazing the mega rolls actually are and how scrumptious each bite actually is. We were almost down on getting a third roll but two rolls for two people was the perfect balance. Head over to Moshi Moshi if you're in the Dogpatch and looking for some good sushi. read more

It's so hard to find a neighborhood restaurant that offers quality food in a time when so many hip, insta-friendly restaurants are taking the reins of public attention. I came here before climbing at Dogpatch down the street. I was worried I would feel bloated after eating out, but it was not the case at all. I felt happily full and energized to climb. Everything we got was fresh, generous, and made with quality ingredients. I ordered the una-kyu maki (eel and cucumber) and the scallop-crab-tobiko roll (forgetting the name, sorry!) Highly recommend the second one. When the menu said it contained scallop I didn't realize each piece of the roll would be generously topped with scallop. The una-kyu maki was also tasty, and the pieces were pretty large. My friend ordered the zaru soba, which was definitely worth the upgrade from the normal soba. The tempura was delicious and contained everything from shrimp to mushrooms to sweet potato to purple yam. I also really liked our gyoza appetizer. It was filled with a good balance of meat and cabbage and I like my gyoza on the less-fried side. It was such a wholesome, loving meal. I was also pleasantly surprised to be greeted by the owner, who started Moshi Moshi 31 years ago. Even though, like most sushi restaurants, it was not an inexpensive meal, I'd definitely return. The table next to us had some delicious-looking chutoro that I'll have to try someday. read more
