"We ate here on a Saturday night. The place was extremely crowded, which is always a good sign. Friends, families, and couples all seemed to be here; it 's a crowd-pleaser. I ordered a few items a la carte, while my partner ordered the all-you-can eat...deal (which is more or less capped at 30 dishes . My items were tasty — grilled zucchini, a dragon roll, and a piece of avocado nagiri. His were hit-or-miss, but nothing unpalatable, except for an end-of-the-night bowl of rice with oil he said tasted stale. The main issue was the service; one server was consistently friendly, while the other was only sporadically personable. For example, while my partner waited literally HOURS for some of his dishes to arrive (e.g., he was in the middle of his third or fourth course before all of the items from Round 1 of his order card had been delivered. , when he dared to ask about one of them, the server curtly snapped, It 's coming! as she walked away. Hard to say whether this was a matter of not understanding how to inflect English in order to sound polite, or whether this was a deliberately impatient retort, but, needless to say, he learned not to ask about his food again. He also noticed that this server seemed frustrated with one of the others for being slow or messing up orders. It was hard to tell whether his dishes were coming out soooooo slowly because someone somewhere was dropping the ball, or whether this was simply a purposeful tactic of the restaurant in order to be able to pocket the full price of the all-you-can-eat special while simply running down the clock on its customers, so that the customers would reach closing time without having had a chance to order as much as they wanted — thus out of luck and out their money. In the end, my partner received nearly everything he had ordered, but you should be aware of this: the all-you-can-eat deal sounds good, in theory, but you may not get everything you ask — and pay — for. (And with the pacing being SOOOOO slow between dishes, you will probably remain hungry enough to continue wanting it. At the end of the night, the server even kept an extra 2 € on top of the tip both my partner and I had already given her, and she was visibly upset when he pointed out the error. Aside from the above, the place has a nice atmosphere, an extensive menu (including an extensive drink selection and some traditional East Asian desserts, beers, and spirits. , and the women 's bathroom upstairs was absolutely spotless. Regarding the complaints we did have — service (speed, reliability, and personality and stale-tasting oil — I feel like perhaps we just caught this place on an off-night. If you 're curious to try Moki Moki, please do. Just make sure you arrive BEFORE dinnertime if you want to have better chances at receiving everything you order from the all-you-can-eat deal. Also make sure that you DO NOT WAIT until each round has been completed before you order more; it can literally take hours for some of the items to arrive, and if you wait for that to happen before moving forward with your menu card, you very well might end up getting next-to-nothing. Also, COUNT YOUR CHANGE after you pay; what the server tells you she is giving you back might not match what she is actually handing you. With a slight attitude adjustment from our server, and with a little bit more efficiency in the kitchen, this could be an awesome place!"

This was a good sushi restaurant for the area and the luxury plate for 2/3 people was well presented and very tasty. Price was reasonable and service friendly and efficient.

you have to wait for too long to wait for the dishes, we have been broken, we waited at least one hour and we have not yet had the first round. terrible service, we just have to pay the full price by eating only a few dishes. nonsense!
Oskar
we had to wait at least 1 hour for the first round and we didn't get everything we had ordered. even the tellers we got were broken. Moreover, we had to pay the full price, even if we don't get our order because it wasn't enough. food in the kitchen. it's like we have to pay for breathing the air.

Going to Moki Moki on a quite regular base when we’re in town. They’re offering on the one side all you can eat, we prefer a la cart with the sushi choice. Very tasty sushi, had the all you can eat before. Definitely above average...but e.g. lamb chops were not really spiced. There’s a bit room to improve but by now worth a visit!

I was recommended by a friend and this restaurant didn't let me down. it was a great experience, very fresh, very tasty. I sit very close to sushi chef, he made every piece right after ordering, not like other (prepared). I like the quality of this restaurant, also the rimp, bark meat and the green teeis are amazing. would definitely come back here.

While I've been in Essen, I found this magic place The price is very cheap for the quality of the fresh food that they serve! I had three type of roll and they were all super yummy if I have to pick my favorite is the moki roll.Differently from other "ayce" the quality is very high, the tempura inside of the roll is still crunchy, which means they did it right away after your order I had also a salmon tartar which is served with a homemade paste of avocado and Japanese seaweed salad.There is the option "All you can eat" which you can get from the Kaiten or "À la carte" I opted for the second one.The environment is very relaxing and the service is very nice. I'm very satisfied and for sure, I...

We last visited Moki Moki on Boxing Day in 2016, when we were only one of a few people there. This time, when we arrived on a Saturday evening it was a lot busier! Having first asking if we had a reservation (we didn't) the waitress told us that it would just be a five minute wait, and we took a seat. Bang on time, a table was cleared and set up for us.Once again we went for the all you can eat and running menu, and even though the staff had more people to look after the service was excellent. Once again we managed to get through five of the six rounds, sampling a good selection of the hundred or so hot and cold dishes on offer.With a couple of drinks each, the bill came to around 60 EUR, mo...

We were in the Ruhrpott for a week, and chose to base ourselves in Essen. The first thing we noticed was the number of sushi places, and after a bit of a scout around and checking here on Trip Advisor we plumped for Moki Moki.As it was a Sunday evening (add to that, Boxing Day evening) the restaurant was pretty quiet, but we were not the only ones there. In a way this was great as we were attended to pretty quickly and went for the all you can eat option - the "Eating Running Deluxe" at 17.80 Euros per person. This option gave you the option of having anything from the conveyor belt (in German, Laufband) as well as six rounds of five dishes per person from an a la carte list.There were aroun...

We were 2 couples and went for the all you can eat menu. We ordered quite fast as we're used to the all you can eat concept. They offer 6 rounds of 5 pieces per person. We filled in the form as quick as possible...but only managed to get to round 3 in 3 hours, because the service was really slow. It took a long time for all food to come. And even in the last round (3) they forgot to bring 5 different sushi's. We were waiting such a long time that we didn't want it anymore. My husband is a big eater and really disliked the long waiting time, because after 2 rounds he's still not full and really needed at least the 3rd round. For me it's not such a big deal because I am usually full after 2 ro...
