Mochiron Izakaya

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.

Yummmm highly recommend the vegan ramen and the cucumber appetizer (had seaweed salad on top and was full of sweetness and umami) my mom got a drink that she said was good and very friendly waitstaff 😁😁🙌🧘‍♀️🍜

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.

Their lunch special is a great deal and I really enjoyed the Katsu curry, normally I’m not a huge fan of the curry but this one was subtle and not overpowering yet flavorful.

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 :)

The food was incredible, the service excellent, the waiter very friendly, and he gave us an excellent recommendation. I really enjoyed the meal.

I usually dine in, and the waiters are exceptional with their service, and the food quality is amazing. Today, I scheduled a take out order for me and my friends. The lady who prepared our to-go order was absolutely wonderful in helping us choose what to get, and pack everything perfectly. From utensils, beverages, and being properly bagged, she provided the best service. Her and the staff really give the best service in the dining room and for walk-ins. Thank you you guys, and of course, I’ll be back!
