    Great ambience, good, and service! The skewered are great quality and cooked to great consistency. The negima with wasabi and spicy wagyu were my favorites

    Very good for special occasion dinner or big get-togethers. Lots of variety and the sake selection is excellent. Only gripe is the price but it’s also the Bay Area

    Overall felt everything was a step down from prior visits: quality of food, service, cleanliness, etc. Based on our recent experience I would guess there is new management.

    We had a wonderful time at Mokutanya. The wait staff was very nice, and the food quality was excellent. The wagu skewer was so tender. We enjoyed the private glass booth we were in. It is dimly lit, so just pay attention when you're walking to the bathroom. We loved it so much we'll be back with more friends!

    We had an incredible birthday dinner. We’ve been coming for 13 years and the food is always great, but was especially delicious tonight. The servers were friendly and attentive. The skewers are so tender and well seasoned. It’s a great spot to celebrate a special occasion or really any night.
