What a hidden gem. If you are craving some very flavorful and spectacular Japanese food that will not break your wallet, go here.
Our group of three ordered several appetizers and a meal. I would return just to eat appetizers. Totally recommend the Kaarage, their Yaki Gyoza, and their Takoyaki. These takoyaki’s were better than a Michelin recognized kiosk in Kyoto!
I liked their Tempura Udon, but would try something different next time and would not order the salmon Onigiri as the rice texture was not perfect. Overall, great find!

Nice place for a solo date. Had some sake and the sukiyaki to warm up on a winter night and it was great – they light a little firestarter thing under the pot so it’ll bubble for a bit so your food will stay hot. The rice could’ve been fluffier but the broth helped. Server was super busy but courteous.

The sake I had was really good and light, the takoyaki and ramen really good, (you need to add the extra sauce to the ramen to make it perfect). The restroom decoration will surprise you…

lovee this place <3 will often come for date night/ anniversaries and they havent missed. ramen is light on the stomach but still really flavorful. skewers and appetizers are always great and can even fill you up a bit! service is great, one of their employees we see frequently is always smiling and jumping from table to table. table spacing can be a bit of a squeeze especially if you have a big party but its worth it!

I tried Chasu don and Samurai Blue. The pork so thick, tender and tasty. It’s over the rice, it’s filled me up and yummmyy, accompany with Samurai Blue, great drink. They have many choices of foods and drink
Thank you for your service, definitely will be back again with my friends. Highly recommended

I walked into Mochiron Izakaya alone on a warm Tuesday. The place was empty like my stomach… at first. But somehow, the moment I sat down, the energy shifted. Within minutes, the restaurant was full. What can I say? I attract good vibes and hungry people.
I ordered from the lunch menu, a bowl of ramen to warm my aching soul, and it delivered. Rich, comforting, flavorful. Like a hug in broth form. It came with side salad and dumplings.
The decor? Adorable, cozy, authentically Japanese with a touch of whimsy. The service? Fast, kind, and welcoming.
The food? Absolutely delicious.
The experience? Quietly magical.
Highly recommend for a solo escape or a cozy catch-up. Mochiron… I’ll be back.

Disappointing. We were looking for some tasty yakitori, and this sadly missed the mark. The chicken breast skewers were dry. The chicken thigh was better but over seasoned and basted with a sweet sauce. The vegetables were cooked in the same sauce but decently cooked at least. All in all, everything tasted a bit the same. The onigiri was huge with far too much rice and not enough filling, and the nori was damp rather than crisp. Not the Japanese experience we were expecting.

A great Japanese food option in Astoria! Consistent regular at this place and the food, service, and experience are always enjoyable.
This time we got the kimchi nabe and pork katsu curry. Both outstandingly good. Generous portions and and hot from the stove. Service was attentive and we were able to easily get a seat on a week night.

Delicious food at this little izakaya! we had the lunch combo set of pork katsu and chicken gyudon which were both delicious. The miso soup was a bit on the salty side but everything else in the order was really good! They do a good happy hour deal with $5 beers/wines too so it’s a good lunch option 🙂

So many Ramen spots around, but this one really sanded out. We typically go to another spot, but this was absolutely delicious and had a very premium taste to each of the items. The signature Ramen was so delicious that I found myself wanting to slurp from the bowl at the end. The pork was well roasted, and the broth was perfectly seasoned. It has Ben really loved the curry katsu don dish. We will be back!
