Stephanie Krishnan: Fin tuna burger with wasabi, eggplant, bacon on an English muffin with plantain chips on the side!!! Excellent
Judith: Everything we ordered was delish. From the mac and cheese fritters, wasabi tuna tartare sandwich, local cheeseburger, to the pumpkin cake sundae. Even the Moscow Mules were made to perfection.
Jace Cole: One the best places to eat in Southie. Great selection of beers.

Sofia Papastamelos: Try your luck with the wasabi roulette! One of the 6 pieces has an unbearable amount of wasabi inside. Baby bottle of piña colada goes to the unfortunate soul.
David Pessah: Risky Tip: Wasabi Roulette. Pro Tip: Don't lose (it's painful)
Noah Weiss: Fun take on a Japanese Izakaya from the famous O Ya team, with a Tokyo hipster vibe and tasty cocktails with lots of tiki drinks. The warm 'rando' section was great: curry noodle + oyako rice bowl.
Murali Krishnan: Very unique menu. Had a really good Toro appetizer and equally good sushi. Sara was a great host and ask her for a recommendation.
Thrillist: Grease up on the salmon tempura, avocado, and asparagus "Pink Lady" and throw back some Hitachino Nest Japanese Classic Ales. Read more.
JoJo Vinick: Every time I'm at Moko I'm happy. It's a great environment, lovely staff, food is excellent and fair prices. I'd go three times a week if I lived in Southie.

Anthony Wilkinson: The peppercorn encrusted tuna tartar with "forbidden rice"? To die for. DITM
Boston.com: It's a tough call. If you stay inside, you'll be cozy in the main dining room, where handsome waiters (we didn't spy a single waitress) shuttle trays of cocktails and light fixtures turn rainbow color Read more.
Jill Shepherd: Best bloody mary I've ever had - and that includes every type. Great brunch and not too crowded!

Olimpia Gonzalez: Excelent restaurant! Everything was absolutely perfect, 100% recommend. (Especially the white salmon with gold)
ZAGAT: Try the gourmet bar snacks from 5:30–6:30 PM and 10–11:30 PM Tuesdays through Saturdays (and 5:30–9:45 PM on Sundays). Small bites like risotto and Kobe sliders are only $6.
Mike Proulx: Try the "white tiger" maki. It practically melts in your mouth.
