Restaurante Japonés Motomachi — Restaurant in Bogota, Capital District

Motomachi is a hidden gem! It felt so homey, like I was in a small town in Japan. At first I was a bit confused because there were no signs, so I took a chance and rang the garage door bell and was let in! So a very safe and secure location, just ring the black doorbell.

The restaurant is very traditional style, quiet, and relaxing. Before I even ordered I was given complimentary side dishes, and green tea. This was already a good sign. Their menu is large and they serve Japanese and Korean food.

I ordered the Saba Shoyaki, a bowl of rice and the Agadashi tofu in Miso Soup. Everything was soo delicious and the Saba was huge. As I ate the manger/owner is this very sweet woman who made sure I had more kimchi and tea and even offered me more rice but I was soo full.

In the end, the bill was pricey but for the amazing quality, service and complimentary dishes I got it was very much worth it. Can't wait to take my friends here! Highly recommended for authentic...

Me da pesar, porque se nota que es un típico lugar de "mom-and-pop" 👵🏻👴🏻 dónde la pareja de señores son los que cocinan y atienden. Pensamos: "debe ser auténtico porque apenas hablaban algo de español!" Éramos la única mesa aparte de otra más. Cuando llegamos no nos dejaron sentar en el lugar más iluminado porque estaba "reservado". Nos fuimos y esas mesas seguían vacías... Queríamos ramen🍜, y solo nos dejaron compartir una sola porción porque "solo les quedaba una." Nos ofrecieron solo dos platos del menú (se les había "acabado todo lo demás") El ramen estaba ok, nada del otro mundo. Pedí 🍋limón, 🌶️picante y solo trajeron un poquito de picante seco que no picaba nada (nunca trajeron el limón). El señor (que parece ser el chef también) nos ofreció un Katzu con Curry🍛, y estaba insípido todo. Mejor nos hubiera ofrecido algo fresco (atún, salmón, algún sushi🍣). El chef debería quedarse en la cocina y dejar a la mesera colombiana atender. Se nota que no le gusta recibir gente que no sea asiática. Al final fueron 50.000 💸por persona por dos platos y dos botellas de agua. No lo disfrutamos.

Una oportunidad perdida porque pudo haber sido algo mejor. Por algo el Wok ♨️sigue lleno y lugares como...

The best food, very lovely people it feels very familiar and comfortable there, you have to be very flexible and open, its not like all the restaurants, they have big menu but they dont have all, so you go and you get what they have and we never were disappointed, every food korean or Japanese were cooked with love like at home.
