Moody Tongue Sushi at Hilton West Palm Beach

Attended the 8 course Omakase experience with a party of 6 on 9/20/25. The bill was roughly $750 dollars for the whole party, and we were in and out in around 45 minutes, afterwards walking across the street to cheese cake factory for appetizers to feel full. On my birthday I felt embarrassed for my guests. The Sushi is of exceptional quality no doubt- but the portion and timing- not so much. It is served back -to-back, the chef immediately returning to work on the next course. This is not a dinner to leave you satiated, but designed to leave you wanting more to force you to buy the 13 course at the higher price point, which is unfortunate. I understand this is a new, fresh Michelin “recommended” restaurant in Palm beach, but there was much to be desired unfortunately. People who have attended other Omakase experiences will feel shorted unfortunately. The menu has been revised a few times it seems, but at the detriment to the customer, with the menu reduced from 15 course to 13, 10 course to 8. Gratuity is automatically input at 20%. Our server made $114 for 3 appearances. Sparkling water is $7, and you don’t get the bottle as customary in many other establishments. I had high expectations, and unfortunately moody tongue lived up to its namesake in my case. Earning a Michelin star is still a ways to go.

My husband and I went to Moody Tongue with some friends to celebrate a birthday. The quality of the omakase was stellar -- the food, the beer pairings, and the service were absolutely top notch. Nora was such a sweetheart and made our experience so memorable. Shell out a little extra for the beer pairings, they elevated the flavors of the courses and were the highlight of the night. We'll be coming back regularly, especially for the seasonal menus.

We almost didn’t go to this restaurant because of the negative review, but we decided to give it a chance. I honestly don’t know what the prior negative review was based on but all I can tell you is the following. My wife and I travel around the country eating at some of the best Omakase restaurants and this place held their own. The fish was extremely fresh and the dishes were creative. The staff couldn’t have been nicer and the beer pairing, which my wife and I do not drink beer we are wine drinkers, absolutely loved every beer that we paired with our dishes. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back.

Went here for early Valentines dinner and loved it! The food was incredible and each course had a beer pairing - which was also excellent (mostly lagers, blondes, saisons, and ending with a stout). The setting was intimate and cozy with multiple couples sitting around a table where the food was prepared in front of us. The staff was very attentive and Princez did a great job at explaining all of the courses and how best to enjoy them. This was an awesome experience, I highly recommend!

Highly recommend! This amazing restaurant is located in the Hilton hotel and has free valet parking. You walk into the gorgeous hotel with a very palm beach feel to it and make your way to the restaurant. The 15 course Omakse for $145 a person is amazing and worth it! You leave full and it’s absolutely delicious. Our dinner took around 2 hours. They also accommodate if you’re gluten free. Shoutout to Nora for the great hospitality service. I highly recommend this omaskase spot!

Loved this experience! I don’t love beer and was hesitant to do the beer pairing but these beers are unlike anything I’ve ever tried. My favorite thing about my dinner was that every single bite tasted different from the last. The rice was perfectly seasoned, the fish was exceptional (which makes sense because it’s flown in from Japan), and my server could explain and then reexplain what I was eating and how the beer would enhance the bite. Truly unlike any other experience.

Wonderful experience. I enjoy following the Michelin Star restaurants. I see why they have been recommended! And look forward to seeing them get their star. The beer pairing with every sushi course is phenomenal. The only Michelin star rated beer in the world-yet does not overshadow the sushi experience, only compliments. The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful and the service matchless. We will be back.

I was excited to try this sushi Omakase with a friend of mine after searching for good sushi on the area but was left really soured. The atmosphere was cool and sushi was good, however we were very mislead on the pricing and what was included in the Omakase tasting which overall ruined the experience. Our waitress implied that the beer tasting was part of (“compliments to”) the sushi and not an additional per person fee. In addition, when asked about adding truffles to the Toro hand roll we were not informed that the $15 hand roll then became $42 which I think should have been relayed to us as that is a significant price increase and we would not have ordered those. Overall a nice sushi place but not worth the immense expense and surprise of receiving that bill.

Wonderful experience with Nora and Chef Carlos. My wife and i did the omakase pairing with the beer tasting. Everything was perfect. Only negative i will say is you should slow it down by 15-20 minutes. Next course needs to take a little more time, especially when you're sipping 6 beers that fill you up and are also coming out pretty fast. I've had omakase before that can take 2-3 hours. We were in and out in 75 minutes. $760 bill. I'd still go back although I'd like a couple extra minutes between each plate Uni and chu toro and Hokkaido scallop were the stars of the show....and the chocolate mousse dessert was incredible

Phenomenal date night! One of the few and rare places to find quality sushi and omakase at that. Located inside the WPB Hilton, Moody Tongue has both regular seating along with counter seating for an authentic omakase experience. The 13-course omakase offered a unique menu and guided by their amazing chefs. This experience was truly amplified by the hospitality of Princez, one of the warmest most personable people I've met in the industry. If not for the food, I would come back just for her!

Overall, great experience, we did the Omakase with beer pairing I love the perfectly curated beers that accompanied each dish. As is the case with most Omakase location I do feel as if the ambience is quite bare while I know the main focal point is on dinner. The meal itself I wish more places went for it. Service was at a good pace. Chef's were very knowledgeable and excited about each dish. Definitely a great spot for a sushi and beer lover looking for something different.

Phenomenal service, the sushi is some of the freshest I've ever had. It is nice and private, we felt very taken care of by the staff. Everyone was so kind. I still think about the wagyu and tuna hand-rolls. Every bite was delicious! Must try!

Poor omakase experience. 15 course omakase menu (with 2 optional add ons), with a beer tasting from the ONLY Michelin-starred brewery that exists. I appreciate that they TRIED "different" flavor combinations (ex. red peppers on top of one piece of nigiri), but they just didn't "work". Half of the fish was chewy and hard to swallow. Worst dish of them all was an add-on stone crab hand roll- because both my partner and I had rolls with large pieces of HARD shell in them, and almost broke teeth. Unacceptable for any restaurant, let alone a high-end one. We were assured "they'd take the handrolls off of the final receipt"- gee, thanks (expected). Best item on the menu (only thing I enjoyed) was the add-on A5 Wagyu handroll (wasabi horseradish cream and Wagyu fat breadcrumbs). Flavor combination was 10/10. I did like that you could book dinner whenever you wanted (no preset times), and that you could sit at the sushi counter or a table. We sat across from a "food blogger"- who snapped 100 photos of each course WITH a flash on. It was very distracting and really took away from our experience. Management claimed they didn't know she was coming, and that it was inappropriate, but there was nothing they could do about it. 2 stars instead of 1 because the service was great (Princess was friendly and made our experience memorable), and because the beer pairing was unique and the beers were tasty (and large pours). Unfortunately would not return, despite being a 5 minute walk from my house.

Excellent - The sushi some of the best I've ever had- the rice however they cooked it was exceptional. "Service" to no ones surprise given the size of the place- the cooks directly in front of you and the amount of workers in attendance- was perfection. I love the vibe of the room- dark, small, counter seating (a few tables if you prefer sitting lower and away from the action of the chefs preparing the food). What I didn't love was the beer pairing (too weird tasting) or the price of it all- I think $400 for food, drink and service- that is a lot so not for every night but definitely a special occasion spot and worth it if you don't mind spreeing.

I was treated to an amazing experience for my birthday, Moody Tongue Sushi at the Hilton West Palm Beach! The omakasi and beer pairing dinner was worth the hype. The flavor profiles of each curated sushi piece along with inspired beers was simply DIVINE! We really enjoyed our experience. Our server Princess was attentive and extremely knowledgeable about the food/beer flavor profiles. The menu is posted in the pictures. It is a dark atmosphere, so pictures don't do it justice. We highly recommend trying this place out.

Second time in five months and we are still so very much impressed! We came back for our anniversary dinner and the team made the dinner so special. Prinzes and Adam are amazing and really made sure we had a great experience. The entire team really, but I don't know all the names! There is a reason Moody Tongue has been recognized in the Michelin Guide in such a short time. The chefs are wonderful and happy to explain the dishes. The fish is fresh and delicious. It is such a vibe in here and if you're questioning it, try it! The beers are also delicious and worth a try. We cannot wait to come back (again)!

Really great non east coast sushi. Private dining experience but wonderful dinner for four was well over a thousand dollars. Wouldn't do it again and having enjoyed sushi around the world it would compare to offerings in Seattle for quite a bit less expensive. Again it was very good sushi with fish you wouldn't generally get on the east coast. Just prepare for a huge price tag. Also, service was marginal.

Overpriced and overhyped for what you get. Too many copycats. Sushi by bao is just as good at a fraction of the cost.

Came to west Palm on vacation to celebrate our best friends 50th birthday came across moody tongue sushi being from Chicago it was a must go. We were not disappointed! And the beer pairing was on point!!

Service- classy professional punctual proper cadence of the 15 course omekasi menu expertly informative Ambiance- the perfect lighting and color accoutrement to make the food expectant and fulfilling Food- ultra fresh with each fish selection melt in your mouth. The rice enhanced the savory splendor of each of the 15 presentations. Their chef is a master of his art. And to balance and enhance each course was a perfectly matched Michelin Star artisanal beer that was crafted to make an explosion of pure happiness in your mouth.

Only been to their pop up at four seasons (or was it Eau?). But holy hell it was delicious. Each roll felt exquisite and experienced, like a thoughtfully prepared dish. I was blown away to discover the sushi was an afterthought to the brewery. The beer combos paired beautifully, I hope the Hilton location is as good and will be trying soon.

Moody Tongue is unbelievable. Tucked away in the beautiful West Palm Beach Hilton, it's an experience unlike any other. Delicious bites, each so different from the last, are paired with unique and seasonal beers. Beautiful glassware and plate ware, a moody and sexy atmosphere, exceptional service. An absolute must try!

I had an amazing experience at Moody Tongue Sushi, incredible food, great service, beautiful and intimate space. I've already been to the NYC locations and this one is as great as the others! The best sushi and beer experience I've ever had. Coming back soon!
