Sushi Moto

I'm actually writing this post while I am on my vacation in Mexico, but I realize it's been a while and I'm just relaxing anyway so why not! I should caution that my memory is a little hazy on this one, but I know that I was near my sister's office so I decided to meet her for lunch. I asked her to pick a restaurant and she chose Sushi Moto.

Restaurant: Sushi Moto
Location: Willowdale
Meal: Lunch
Day: Friday
Son's Age: 7 months

This seemed like it would be a decent spot for lunch, and when we arrived, they seated us in a private area that was curtained off, which seemed very considerate for both the baby and the other patrons.

Accessibility: ⭐️⭐️
For starters, there is a step to get into the restaurant, which is not ideal for strollers. That being said, I was able to get my stroller next to the table.

I should probably start asking for high chairs but my baby is actually quite long and skinny and extremely wiggly so I'm worried that he'll fall out. That being said, no one offered a high chair either, so I'm not clear if that was an option. The washroom was located downstairs which is also not so stroller friendly. 

There is no designated change table but if your baby isn't inclined to roll around her, there is a long counter top that could be used to change a diaper. 

Service: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What Sushi Moto lacks in accessibility, it more than makes up for in service. As I said, we were given a private seating area. I asked for some hot water to heat up my son's lunch, wondering in my head if a baby cube would fit into a tea cup, and the server brought the water in a small bowl.

This was perfect for me to put the cube in and take out without burning my fingers! Service overall was excellent and everyone was very accommodating to the baby.

Food: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I ordered the salmon teriyaki bento box, which interestingly enough was served with two soups.

One was a standard miso soup, and the other I'm not sure about since it wasn't noted on the menu, but as you can see, there are noodles in it. Both tasted fine - I generally enjoy soup so they were both satisfying but nothing particularly outstanding.

The bento came with salad, tempura, California rolls, and rice. Everything was delicious, but similar to the soups, it all tasted pretty standard. If you like Japanese food, particularly bento boxes, the food here will not disappoint you, but it's not very memorable either.

Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️½
The service here really helps to make the place baby friendly, and the food is good enough. I would recommend bringing your baby here if you are in the area.
