7/4/22- On the pricier side of poke places. The appetizer we got had very little salmon in it and was emptier then their display one looked. The taro chips were good. The bowls are a good size, but are very rice heavy when compared to the toppings. I would be willing to eat here again when I'm in the area.

Motomaki is casual and fresh. Sometimes when everything on the menu looks delicious, I just order the first thing on the menu. I ordered the Island tuna poke roll. The roll was a creative mouth full of joy. The flavors were awesome, I have no idea what the sauce was and there was a crunch. Basically a Japanese burrito. I could eat at this place everyday. The tuna poke was tasty.

Update: the manager of the store did reach out after I posted this to apologize and take the Poke off my card. Appreciate it! Hope you guys get back to the awesome quality we’ve come to know and love.
Original: so
I’ve loved Motomaki since it came to 29th st. Went today, and was so disappointed with what I received.
The tuna poke was so sad looking, and the taste was comparable. The taro chips that came with it were all crushed up, so essentially useless as a vehicle for the poke.
The shrimp tempura burrito was okay, but how are you charging $34 for all of this??? Please get it together.

Maybe it is my lack of understanding of the Spanish language & culture, but I personally wouldn't call a roll barely 1.5 inches of diameter a "burrito".
Looking at the other pictures, it seems that you don't exactly get the same product between dine-in and take out, probably because they would get this returned immediately in one of the two scenarios.
I would advise anyone ordering take out to open the box they give you before leaving, so you don't get the surprise too late at home that this is what $18 buys you and go to bed on an almost empty stomach.

The Hawaiian salmon bowl was amazing. The shrimp tempura was a bit sweet but still good. Staff was a bit unpleasant.
