I've been a fan of MotoMedi since living in Lubbock and regularly come by for a quick bite when I'm…read morein town visiting my girlfriend. Today's meal for myself was especially great. MotoMedi is best described as a more locally owned CAVA. Big bowl of whatever you want. I'm not a CAVA enjoyer, but I really like MotoMedi. Maybe it's just how much fresher it tastes here. Sometimes I overdo it and put way too much crap in my bowl, but today was not that day: Rice, Grilled Chicken, Roasted Veggies, Pickled Onions, Pickled Cabbage, and their Honey Aleppo sauce. All the ingredients tasted fresh, and I devoured it with no regard for human life. The lady who served me was super helpful in making sure I got exactly what my girlfriend wanted as she sent me a text of what to do. They also were playing some bumping music inside. Though I wish it was closer to campus, MotoMedi is a great lunch spot that's worth the drive to. Just don't overdo it. RIYL: SlopBowl™

Some of the best falafel I've had, hands down--crispy on the outside, soft and herby on the inside. The dips are outstanding (you can tell they're made with care), and I loved the roasted veggies: cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes... all perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. Add in the pickled veggies for that tangy punch and suddenly you've built a bowl that feels both indulgent and nourishing. One of my favorite little details? The "salt and pepper" shakers aren't actually salt and pepper--they're filled with spices like sumac and other Middle Eastern seasonings. Such a thoughtful touch, and it completely elevates the meal. You're seasoning with flavor, not just salt. Moto Medi is also incredibly vegan-friendly, which I truly appreciate. Everything is clearly customizable, easy to navigate, and makes eating plant-based feel exciting instead of limiting. The organic tea bar is another big win--clean, refreshing options that pair perfectly with the food. This is the kind of place that instantly becomes a regular spot. Fast, fresh, satisfying, and aligned with a health-forward lifestyle. I honestly wish Moto Medi was everywhere, because it's proof that "fast food" can still be intentional, delicious, and good for you. Love, love, love. If you're craving Mediterranean flavors with a modern, healthy twist--this place is a must.

Now to the food and beverage side. The menu offers wine only, which isn't ideal, but I understand that's a choice every owner has to make. The meatballs were clearly pre-made and then reheated in the Marsala sauce. They were overly salty, and the sauce itself lacked balance it leaned heavily acidic, almost vinegary, without the richness you'd expect. The "Barcelona" pizza was solid, but again, shortcuts were noticeable. The crust was clearly pre-made. I appreciated the heat, but overall the flavor profile was fairly flat.Best thing I had was freshly baked bread it was fresh and tasty. Overall, great service and atmosphere, but the food execution didn't quite live up to it.

Potato's were undercooked and hard. Potato flavor was pretty bland as well. First prosecco were pretty flat and had been opened a while. Second was was good. Bottle was wine was good. Wine selection is pretty narrow but you will like it if you like Argentinian and Spanish wines. Overall ok but could be better. Service was ok. Not over the top.

Not dim, but not overly bright lighting. Service was quick, friendly, and came by the table often. Now the food. I had heard good things about it, but I was quite pleased with how good it actually was. Bread is complimentary and comes out early. Very good bread. We both had the Pink Parmesan and it did not disappoint. If you don't know, that is Alfredo sauce and red sauce mixed. Chicken was well cooked and not dry at all. The tortellini it comes with is SO good! We had one plate with this, and then one with fettuccine noodles. Both are topped with the pink sauce. Tortellini was our favorite of the two, but we're both very good. Portions were generous. My wife and I could have split an order and it would have been plenty of food. Did not come with a salad or soup. I'm sure that could have been added, but was not included with the meal. Also had seafood items, but we did not try any of them. Pricing was on par with other restaurants in town. Most entrees were in the $11 to $20 range, with a few more expensive items. We will be back for sure.

As we walked in, there were 3 staff members: a lady working the register, the older Korean gentleman (the presumed heart of the restaurant), and another cook. Once we placed the order, the 2 men in the back sat up and went to the fryers immediately to lock in. Fried chicken takes its time and unlike a chain like Popeyes and KFC who can have legs, breasts, and wings ready at the drop of a hat, Kokio only makes what's needed per order. This means there is a longer wait for the food. As we sat and waited for our food, multiple to-go and presumed DoorDash drivers came in and had a similar wait to us. The time seemed to crawl as we waited, but once the order came out and I took my first bite, all was well. I ordered their Wings Plate which came with 5 wings, fries, and some coleslaw. I upgraded my fries to waffle fries for the vibes and they were worthwhile. For the wings, I got them tossed in the Honey Bee sauce. They were smooth and sweet while having a slight kick. The crisp on the chicken was insane and had an earth shattering rumble as you took a bite. It's one of those meals you go silent after your first bite and don't say anything until your last. It's one of those meals you are willing to wait over an hour for. It's one of those meals you use 20 napkins and wash your hands twice before leaving the restaurant. It's one of those meals that you dream about that night. It's one of those meals you... RIYL: A crunch at a 5.2 on the Richter scale
