First time trying their sushi. Used to only get their Mongolian beef and their "KFC" dish. This time I went here for dinner with my wife and we both enjoyed the quality of the dragon roll. Their miso soup is top notch as well. One of my favorite restaurants in the downtown area! The service is great and the ambiance and music volume and selection is ideal.

When are you going to bring back the Fried Wide Noodles? That was such an awesome meal why did you take it away?

This cute place with great ambiance impressed me with some of the best lumpia I've ever tried. The Pad Thai was huge in quantity and tasted fantastic, while the Moto Imoto roll and melt-in-your-mouth pork belly buns were equally delightful. A truly satisfying dining experience!

Very nice bar and ambiance. I loved the wood accents and the Japanese cherry blossom mural on the back wall. We both got the Lobster Curry Bisque and shared the Bang Bang Shrimp and the Chicken Lettuce Wraps. The bisque had nice chunks of lobster in it and was very flavorful - it was the perfect fusion of lobster bisque and Thai curry flavors and was by far one of the best soups I've ever had. The Bang Bang Shrimp was tasty and I liked that it wasn't overly fried or drenched in sauce. The chicken lettuce wraps were okay, the sauce that came with them added a decent amount of flavor but the chicken itself was on the blander side. We ended the evening with the Ube Coconut Cheesecake and it was to die for! It had a very light balanced flavor of Ube and coconut and wasn't overly sweet. Our server was friendly and attentive. The food comes out very fast so by the time we finished the bisque and got to the lettuce wraps, the chicken was already lukewarm. Next time, I would only order one or two dishes at a time. Overall, great food, service and ambiance. I haven't stopped thinking about that Lobster Curry Bisque and the Ube Coconut Cheesecake. This will definitely be a go-to place when in the St. Charles area.

Came here with my family of 15. We made reservations that day. The restaurant ambiance is nice with soft energetic pop music. We ordered a bunch of mocktails for the kids. They really liked the drinks. We had one server waiting on the whole table but multiple people helped bring out the food. We ordered a bunch of apps, bao buns, zucchini fries, lumpia egg rolls, bang bang shrimp and others. My favorite app was zucchini fries...so tasty and light. I got the panang chicken which was good. Some of my family got some of the sushi so I tried them and they tasted fresh and delicious as well. Service was good. We actually meant to order some of their lunch specials but they accidentally thought we wanted their dinner portions. We did end up paying more because of it. I paid the bill of over $500 which wasn't bad since I was expecting to spend around that amount. Overall very good meal and a chance for the family to converse and enjoy each other's company

Fresh food, served in a chill environment. The menu provides lots of options for those with picket palates! A great addition to downtown St. Charles!

Cocktail Review Only! Stopped by Moto Imōto on a Sunday for a casual drink at the bar. The inside is beautifully designed with plants, stone and wood accents, and curved features. They have a large wine and sake offering as well as (3) mocktails and (10) specialty cocktails. We got the Lychee Luxe Martini and Yuzu Sake White Sangria. The Lychee Martini is certainly sweet which cuts the alcohol bite. The sangria was offered to pair with white or red wine but I strongly recommend the white as it compliments the bright and light fruity flavors better. They did not have a dedicated bartender on staff but they clearly cross train their staff well as the person who made our drinks did a great job! Very impressed overall!

Dropped by for an impromptu dinner with my Son & Wife on Friday, December 29th 2023. We had reservations for two @ 5:15 pm and when we showed up with three they quickly accommodated us. We were seated and our waiter Aidan M (Big shout out) quickly showed up to get our drink order. Aidan, recommend a Hibiscus & Raspberry Margarita (a drink my wife would never order) for my wife. My Son & I had Toshi Old Fashioned. My wife enjoyed her drink very much as did my son and I. For appetizers we ordered our favorite pot stickers! Which were delicious and cooked perfectly. For our main entrée we ordered, two pad Thai's and one Mongolian Flank Steak & one Dragon Roll. Everything was cooked to perfection & delicious, which is why moto & imoto has become our go to spot for dinner in St.Charles.

My fiance and I stopped here for happy hour on black out Wednesday. Apparently we've started a tradition bc we also were here last year for black out Wednesday happy hour lol. This place is super cute and well decorated. It is cozy and aesthetically pleasing to look at. It's a very relaxing and calming setting. We sat at the bar area which has very comfy seats and a tv which had basketball on. It was pretty empty at the time, but again, we were there at 3pm the day before Thanksgiving. The staff is very friendly and kind. All of them were helpful and had smiles on their faces. they really set the tone of making us feel at home. Service throughout was timed out well. Our server was attentive and didn't hover. He gave us enough space to enjoy our drinks, apps and time together and also checked in the perfect amount. We tried a lychee martini and a dirty martini for cocktails. I'm not sure if we were both hungry or whatever the case was but we were feeling the drinks and after 1 drink each, it was great! I definitely recommend the lychee martini - it is fruity, tasty, easy to drink and overall is solid cocktail. I wasn't a fan of the dirty martini however I don't really love them to begin with. For apps we tried the crab wontons and also got the futo maki signature roll. Both were very delicious and we'd get them again.
