I visited Moshi Moshi for the first time on a warm Tuesday lunch hour. With a shaded back patio, it’s a nice play to go for lunch when there is a breeze, but it can get very warm and stuffy on a day that is very hot. We ate inside the restaurant next to the small bar area adjacent to the back patio.

There are two units next to one another and then the patio. Although it can feel a bit crowded, service was still okay, but could have been a touch more attentive. I still gave service a three star rating.

Moshi Moshi offers bento combinations, sushi, donburi (rice bowls), and teriyaki dishes. Upon our arrival, we were served very hot miso soup topped with scallions.

- Combination Lunch – Teriyaki can be ordered for multiple meats as well as various sushi, gyoza, tempura, and tonkatsu. I tried the salmon teriyaki and sashimi. The bento box contained a piece of salmon was grilled and brushed with teriyaki sauce served on top of a leaf of lettuce. Three slices of sashimi (tuna and another type of fish) were served in another square of the bento box. Salad and a slice of melon were in another square of the box, and rice was in yet another. The center of my box contained wasabi and shredded daikon. Ginger was missing from my plate, otherwise, I would have given the food one more star. $11.95

The waitstaff checked on us, but they could have refilled water faster, especially since the temperature was hot that day. Overall, it was a good lunch place considering the location and the quantity of my fellow dining companions’ tonkatsu was very large.
