This restaurant is on its last legs. It once had a great staff and made terrific food, even during the pandemic! I stopped by today for the beef teriyaki lunch special, I wanted the beef to be done to medium my side was sashimi.
The soup and salad were fine, hard to ruin. The bento box came and the waitress knew it was bad before she placed it in front of me. Normally the beef is sliced and placed to look like a single piece of steak with a little separation, not my plate of food! it looked like a bad stir fry and every piece of meat looked like they came from different cows and every piece was so over cooked, my leather boots looked softer! Was the kitchen really busy, you ask me? Only one other person entered after me and he order the 3 roll sushi special! I mentioned to the waitress I ordered my meat to be cooked medium and she blamed a busy kitchen! I told her I would reluctantly eat it because I didn't want to wait longer for another piece to be cooked and she seemed pleased. But as I tried to eat, I also tried to assemble the meat as one piece and couldn't! I called her over and asked if it was leftovers, ( that would explain why it was dry, over cooked and tasteless) , she swore it was made to order even though it was overcooked! Sashimi was my side and it must have been a new rookie because each slice of fish was thick enough to be 2 slices, that was a loss for the restaurant but good for me!. A refill of tea didn'tarrive until the check came and as she took away the bento box, I showed the waitress that the pieces of meat weren't from the same steak, the thickness and widths of the pieces I left in the box were all different!
She was annoyed I noticed but she said nothing.
I can never recommend Mottsu ever again to anyone.
