| - I'm so very happy that when someone asks if we can go for "Japanese food" in Markham, I can now say: "What kind?" It's not just all about sushi anymore!
Moji is a very cute and modern restaurant in Peachtree Centre (which has definitely been bringing in more businesses that cater to the younger generation). It's spacious, bright, and kinda has a kindergarten art class feel. It also specializes in affordable rice and udon bowls along with Japanese snacks.
Snacks: We ordered the "must-have" takoyaki and cheese corn. I've gotta say, seeing my food "wave" to me (bonito flakes & seaweed waving in the steam) made me very excited to eat it. And I definitely wasn't let down. The takoyaki had lots of octopus and the corn was roasted perfectly. Even though I really, really, really enjoyed the corn, I have to admit it's too expensive at nearly $4 for one corn (broken in half).
Bowls: I got the avocado crab meat rice bowl, boyfriend got the karaage (fried chicken) udon bowl. Both were delicious! The karaage was very crispy and covered in delicious sauces. The udon had an odd piece of cantaloupe...which I guess is more for decoration than for eating.
My rice bowl was very colourful and the crab meat and avocado were perfect compliments. Wish there was some cucumber or something to lighten it up though because the fatty avocado + crabmeat mixed in mayo + rice was a difficult task to finish after the halfway mark.
This is more our fault than Moji's, but even though we LOVED the food, everything was too heavy at the end because Japanese mayo was everywhere! The snacks had mayo, the karaage had mayo, my crabmeat was mixed in mayo. Japanaese mayo, baby, I love you, but you gotta give me some space!
I think next time, I'll stick with the beef udon bowls :)
Note: Not relevant to the restaurant, but some 'cool guy' had aviator shades on the whole time inside the restaurant haha......
