Motoyoshi

The deep-fried dishes were delicious. We enjoyed some light and crispy delicacies as well. Each food was made perfection. The staff was welcoming and they provided great service.

From beginning to end this was a wonderful experience in a beautiful setting. A word of caution to non-Japanese speakers, this restaurant isn’t well signposted and it is on the 3rd floor of a block. I found it by comparing the symbols on the sign to the website. The welcome is very warm. The staff a...re attentive and they will tell you if your approach to the consumption of food isn’t correct-don’t be upset-they are there to maximise the experience. The raw food is on display before the meal. And you can see you’re going to have the finest ingredients. Master Motoyoshi and his staff are very friendly and the food is awesome. Go with an empty stomach and be prepared for incredible food preparation and experience

Amazing, elegant, memorable dinner! Food was excellent, service was top notch, just totally redefined the tempura dining experience!

We booked through a Japanese online restaurant reservation service to get the reservation here, pretty well in advance of our trip. It is easy to think of fried food as being heavy and greasy but the preparation of the tempura batter, freshness of the ingredients, and presentation of the food made t...his a delicious, special evening. The restaurant is in the Shibuya district, on the 3rd floor of an unassuming building. The signage out front is only in Japanese. On getting off the elevator, there is a small waiting area and the chef will lead you into the restaurant at your seating time (guessing there are only 2 seatings/night). The restaurant was adorned with beautiful cherry blossom branches. A little bit of fresh snapper nigiri started the meal and the rest was tempura style. Our highlights were the shrimp heads, scallops, and onion though everything was just delicious. We do not speak Japanese and the chefs had some to little English so I missed the discussion and questions that are a part of these kind of meals but the service and staff was lovely. The food alone, however, is totally worth it.

This was such an enjoyable meal. Only 8 seats so book one month in advance. It was expensive, but it was worth it. Lovely service. Amazingly fresh produce. Highly highly highly recommend. We went to celebrate our anniversary and it was very special.
