Moji - Markham

Moji Japanese Eatery is a Japanese restaurant in Markham, offering Japanese fusion items based on your favourite dishes. Got to try some of their new winter menu. One of my favorites was the

Great food and fair price. One of the better Japanese restaurants uptown. Amazing soft serve that I had to go back for more. Too bad not all the items on the dessert menu are available. I would love to try all of them!

What a cute looking shop! The interior reminds me of an elementary school (the fun painting classes loll .<br/ <br/ DRINKS: <br/ <br/ Matcha milk tea (4/5 <br/ <br/ I really liked this! The taste is similar to the green tea latte powder I buy from Muji.<br/ <br/ Yummy : <br/ <br/ TOFU AVOCADO SALAD (5/5 <br/ <br/ Couldn't stop eating this I love avocados; this is a cold dish. The sauce isn't too strong in this salad so it was perfect to order prior to our main meals. <br/ <br/ TAKOYAKI (3.5/5 <br/ <br/ Could use more octopus bits in the takoyakis! Yummy nonetheless.<br/ <br/ TERIYAKI CHICKEN DON (4/5 <br/ <br/ Mmm! Teriyaki chicken was delicious at first we thought the rice portion was too little but since we ordered a few appetizers, the portions worked out.<br/ <br/ GYU UDON (4/5 <br/ <br/ The udon is nice and chewy (I don't like mushy udons .<br/ <br/ Will return to try other things on the menu :

Food was a mixture of Japanese udon or donburi dishes and some desserts.  Small selection of drinks like fruit green tea or matcha milk teas for $2.  Spacious and feels like IKEA mixed with a bit of Japanese charm.  Lots of seating and bright lighting, different from other restaurants in the area which are packed tight with tables.

Quite frankly, Moji appeared quite bland solely based off of social media: I couldn't immediately perceive a distinct concept, nor identify a distinguishing factor between the numerous other sources for food in the plaza. It was also noticed that users consistently griped about the lack of heat and extensively long wait times for service and food, but also commended their takoyaki and curry udon bowls at the same time.<br/ <br/ It was strange. Moji seemed strange.<br/ <br/ I set out with a purpose on Saturday: to experience this new restaurant (and their ice cream) and validate the concerns and praises of other diners.<br/ <br/ We pulled open Moji's flimsy white door and set foot into the eatery just two minutes after they had opened. As predicted, it was still relatively barren.<br/ <br/ An older member of the serving staff greeted us immediately, and gestured towards a table near the entrance. We opted for a window seat instead, and thank goodness we did.
