I've been to Moji 3 times; once as a group of 3 and twice on my own. I've often come at odd hours of the day and hence, I've never had any issues getting a table. The food was great, albeit slightly on the pricier side. However, they do have interesting and well-made dishes, so definitely hitting that innovation/gimmick surcharge.
The food is great. If you're a fan of unagi, the tobiko cheese unagi don is great and they don't skimp on the unagi either, as some other places do. They have one of the better uptown karaages, but I would probably ask for the sauce on the side in the future. Finally, their tofu avocado salad is amazingly refreshing. Definitely a fan. Their drinks however are either much too sweet or not flavourful enough, so it's difficult to find a good balance. Their matcha milk tea could use a bit less sugar and it would be perfect.
The ambience is super cute, with a quaint DIY-vibe. They definitely created a nice and unique image for themselves in the midst of many new and exciting restaurants in Markham and Richmond Hill.
On to the service... This is where they lost points for me. The wait staff is pretty set and I'm pretty sure it's been the same 3 servers every time I've gone. Now the guy is honestly great. Very polite. Works hard. Efficient. There's another female staff that appears to be scowling like all the time and she looks like she absolutely hates her job and doesn't want to be there. Her short mannerisms and expressionless voice and face don't help, and in all honesty, it makes me feel slightly intimidated to ask her for anything. It's quite unfortunate really, but apart from that, everything is great and I'd definitely go again.
