Comment: Motomaki consistently impresses us! We enjoy trying something new nearly every visit. Today, we ordered the chicken katsu and mochiko chicken, both of which were delicious. The portions are generous, and Adam was friendly when we asked for recommendations.

Comment: I love this place. Kalbi always has a good flavor, although the cut of beef they use isn’t what I consider normal when I eat kalbi, but flavor is still great. Still weird to eat sushi in this form, but always a good time for the belly and makes me happy and satisfied every time I come here to get one.

Comment: We had burritos here with the Hamachi (one of our favorite fishes for sushi). Lately its been hard to find a good sushi poke place it seems but this place was great! I had the Hamachi Crunch Poke Burrito and my wife made her own burrito. Both were stellar. The service was fast (we were the only order in queue) and place was clean and fairly big with the tables nicely spaced out. I saved the place as well definitely make more trips in the future! The portion size is good, costs a little bit more than what we thought we would get with the portion (at least for the burrito) so well try the bowl and other options in the future!

Comment: After eating at Motomaki dozens of times, it’s about time I posted a review. I love a good poke bowl, as well as the ability to add specific toppings. Motomaki delivers, and does so consistently. I particularly like salmon poke, and I’ve found with other restaurants that the salmon is not always fresh, cut in chunks that are too large, or has bones. I’ve never had those problems with motomaki. The add ons are always fresh and delicious. There are a few surprising add ons that I’ve come to really love, like bacon.I love the Hawaiian salmon bowl, but my young kids are obsessed with the mochico chicken. It’s actually the only type of protein that I can get my two year old to consistently eat.A few pro tips: order online, and start with one of the pre-existing bowls and customize it. This is way less expensive than building your own. Additionally, the happy hour prices are great.Overall I highly recommend this restaurant.

Comment: Second time ordering the shrimp tempura bowl for lunch. Very easy to order in the app and go in and pick up. The food is delicious. I am taking off one star today because I had a very rude employee interaction. My order included a fountain drink and when he handed me the bag, I asked about the drink, and he just pointed at me and kind of grunted. I said thanks for the bag and looked around for cups. I asked again about the drink, and he again just kind of grunted, and when I looked puzzled, he yelled and mimed at me “open the bag”. I replied “geez, thanks that’s all that’s all you had to say.” And then he got real argumentative saying “well, that’s what I said - didn’t I say that”. And I said, “actually, you didn’t speak at all.” He was wearing a mask so I couldn’t see when he actually moved his lips.Point is, I am the customer and he was incredibly rude and condescending and unpleasant. I’ll probably get food from here again, but I am disappointed by the customer service and just the general attitude by kids these days.

Comment: Always love eating here! It’s so filling and so good. I only get the rolls but they have so much filling and flavor to them. Their birthday rewards are some of the best I’ve received as well. Will definitely be coming back! Would be 5 stars but the employees weren’t the friendliest, just kind of blank stares when we talked to them

Comment: This was definitely a curious place. Never actually knew of a Motomaki before now, which made this place even more exciting.First things first; The place is set up like a facier deli bar, where you order and they make the whole meal right there behind glass. Therr is also a digital kiosk if youre unsure of what you want out the gate.The place has some pretty decent dining seats, and the music is not all too loud, which makes it comfortable.And the food was pretty great! The Hawaiian isnt as sweet as I originally expected it to be, even had some spice to it.

Comment: Weve eaten there a couple of times, and the food is always fresh and delicious.The service on the other hand, could use some work. Our first time the kiosk just had a black screen. There wasnt any other customers and we had to get someone to take our order and apparently that was a inconvenience for that individual. We had questions since it was our first time and all we got was attitude and read the menu.After several months we stopped there again for lunch on our way back up the hill. We used the kiosk this time. One in our party ordered a bottle of water with their meal. It was missing when our order was up. It was on the ticket and on the receipt. We mentioned the missing item and the individual behind the counter huffed and begrudgingly went to grab it and slammed it down on the counter. Seems the service has remained the same

Comment: Been coming in here since they opened. Great little hidden gem. Used to go to the one downtown but they recently closed. You can get a big sushi burrito for $17-$20. Join their rewards program and you get a free one on your birthday. I recommend the shrimp tempura roll with a side of sweet soy. There staff could be friendlier but that is common these days with younger workers. Hoping one day someone will actually take my order instead of a machine.

Comment: The food here is awesome. Highly recommended if you like sushi!The only thing I wish I would’ve know prior was that, if you decide on a custom bowl/nori roll, ingredients get expensive very fast. You can expect 7+ dollars per protein added and 1+ dollars for most fillers (edamame, onions, cilantro, jalapeños, etc.)

Fresh delicious ingredients and good presentation! Restaurant was clean and staff was friendly. The ordering was no-contact kiosks. Bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside, lots of seating.

Comment: The food here is amazing! Fresh, made to order. We were there early enough on a Saturday where it was quiet. The order process is quite intense! So many options! Also it is done at a kiosk and they only have 2 there we could see. So you have to be patient (only reason for a 4 star versus 5). Hopefully they open one soon in Colorado Springs!

Comment: No better place. A must try! I honestly crave it. Wish they could expand through the entire USA. I travel for work and theres nothing comparable. I was disappointed they discontinued the bell pepper curry. It was a colorful and tasty addition. However you have to pair the grilled chicken with the Jalepeno dressing it is just to die for.

Comment: Update to original review below: 6/16/21- Upon leaving the review below after the bad experience, the company owner and manager promptly reached out to me to apologize and issue a full refund for my order that day. Bad experiences happen at all places but not all places make it right or own up to it so quickly.Given the fact that I have had mostly great food hear aside from the noted visit above and one other, I decided to change my rating to 4 stars which is more in line with the service that this location usually provides.------------------6/9/21- Decent food if its made right. Today two high-school girls were back there giggling and playing around the entire time instead of doing their job and our bowls came out bad. Too much sauce and all rice pretty much.They have done better before, but all in all, this place rushes their service and messes up orders due to not taking enough time to make the dish. For what they charge they should pay more attention and try harder.

Comment: Fast, fresh, and delicious poke bowls. Motomaki is a great option if you’re looking for a quick meal but want a healthier option. This location was very COVID aware and operated via a contactless ordering system. There were touchscreen kiosks located at the front entrance of the store for browsing the menu, ordering, and paying from the same spot. After ordering, my meal was packaged and placed at the to-go counter in 2-3 minutes.

Comment: The first time we went it was a 10/10. So much food and deliciousness.Second time was an 8/10 so I wish I could do a 4.5 star.Pro: portions and flavor!Con: I was missing an ingredient on my build your own bowl which wasn’t a big deal but I obviously added it for a reason. Also, the daikon veggies were too sweet and while the first time the kimchi was chock full the second time it was minimal.So, ok I know this would be a pro for most people but I don’t usually eat meat and so there was actually too much grilled salmon in my bowl. I guess maybe it’d be cool if they added a half portion of grilled salmon?Overall, solid choice and very convenient. A lil pricey but with covid I’ve gotten used to paying a little extra.I’d love if a future reviewer could share info about the seaweed salad portion size :)

Comment: I tried Motomaki for the first time a few days ago, I ordered a white rice build-a-bowl. It was delicious and all the ingredients were fresh! Friendly staff! I ordered online again today and they forgot my sauce. Not a big deal but I was bummed the sauce is really what makes the bowl complete. I couldn’t go back because I was at work and had gotten the bowl on my lunch break. I called and the lady I spoke to was Alex and she was so friendly and understanding. Took care of my meal and sent me a gift card. Amazing customer service, I’ll definitely be back! Thanks Alex!Update to review, they sent me this in the mail. AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE. Small gestures go a long way and definitely appreciate the letter and gift cards, I’ll definitely be back! THANK YOU!

Comment: I really didnt know much about this place and frankly thought it was a sushi place until I saw the poke description on Yelp. At arrival, I was also pleased that they offered rolls and not just poke bowls. I ordered the Hamachi Crunch Roll and enjoyed it. It included Hamachi poke

Comment: Ive had a few different sushi burritos around Denver and these are easily the best. The nacho tuna is my absolute favorite, but the curry salmon and banh mi are great as well. Love the outdoor seating at this location too.

Comment: Its a bit on the pricey side, but definitely delicious. Service was reasonably quick, and the Hawaiian salmon bowl was so tasty. Ingredients seemed good quality. Not a lot of poke options on the west side, so it was nice to find this place.

Comment: Its a giant portable sushi roll (or bowl). Whats not to like? It is a little pricey, but the quality is always great. Worth the cost for the quality and convenience

Comment: Do you like sushi...and a LOT of it? This is your place. The burritos are like giant sushi roles cut in half. The bowls are all your favorite ingredients, but you build the bite you want. Not exactly traditional, but absolutely delicious. Ive been to numerous sushi restaurants throughout the eastern slope, and this delivers great quality food with a totally different experience. If Chipotle ever starts offering sushi, it will be because of Motomaki did it first. I will definitely be a repeat customer and recommend to my friends.

Comment: We’ve only ordered for delivery so can’t speak to the in-house experience, but the food was SOOO GOOD. We’ve had the shrimp tempura bowl, chicken roll, and beef bowl. Shrimp bowl comes with tempura asparagus and that is really delicious! Everything tasted fresh and so flavorful. Very satisfied!

Comment: The food here is amazing! Lets talk about it. If you see an Asian guy cooking or making the food, go order right away. If you see anyone else, take your time. Or walk away haha2 reasons. One,he adds more of everything! Two, its amazing when it comes from him. Like mouth watering amazing!! He makes it so good! You cant have anyone else.If he does make it, please give him a tip. I hope he stays with the company!!

I order mine with 4 kinds of meats. It was the bomb.I dont know how, but they were able to wrap it all and make it super delicious!!!I highly recommend them. It is a different way to eat sushi.

Comment: Sushi + burritos. Does it get any better than that? I tell you, ladies and gents, it does not. The art of eating sushi in burrito form does take some refinement, and there is no better place to practice this valuable skill than Motomaki. The shrimp tempura roll is my absolute fave, followed by the Hawaiian salmon poke and banh mi. Theyve also been very willing to make substitutions for me when necessary (subbing raw tuna for a different protein because I am pregnant, for example). Definitely worth the money!

Comment: Dont hesitate any longer - this is the place to get poke! Since we are in a land-locked state it is always a leap of faith to try new fish places - I know. But this is so good. If you dont want to build your own, just order right off the menu. I have tried most of he bowls offered, and have found the flavor pairings are excellent every time. Also, bowls are the perfect amount of food. You wont walk away hungry!

Just depends on if we go when its slow or rush hour. Still overall good food though. Friendly staff as well.

Easy to order.One thing I would like to add is that I ordered for my work group. At first I thought there was a mistake and the team were quick to offer a solution. I found out that the mistake was on my end and the team was still gracious enough to offer the solution. Thanks again! Its this kind of service that will keep bringing me back!

It was a little overwhelming trying to figure out what I wanted out of my first sushi burrito experience, so I ended up building my own.I wish I had ordered two. It was so delicious. The poke salmon has nice flavor and the ingredients were good quality. Good rice-to-stuff ratio. Fast and friendly service.Id definitely recommend this spot.

Comment: If you’ve ever wondered what eating sushi in a chipotle sized burrito serving would be like, swing on by to satisfy your curiosity. A little pricy at a glance but when you compare it to how much fish is in there it’s a better value than most sushi places. Excellent quality food, would definitely go back!

Comment: This was a go to for me for a long time while I lived in the area. I would order the mochiko chicken bowl to be delivered through uber eats, and a variety of other bowls while in the store.The staff is very friendly, the food is good, and the mochi is amazing. Get half greens half rice if you’re looking for a refreshing healthy vibe, and consider ordering a soda. They have those hip all natural sodas which are an experience themselves.

I think my favorite is #13 (the eggplant one).The food is always delicious, always fresh, and the staff are always happy to make changes/substitutions.The prices are super reasonable (especially during happy hour when the rolls/bowls are $3 off!). And if you become a sushi burrito addict like me they have an amazing rewards club!!The employees are always nice and helpful, and the restaurant is always really clean.All in all this is probably my favorite restaurant in the area and one of my go tos for sushi.

One of my new favorites and it has some really great quality food and flavors.I try and eat on a keto diet and the options to NOT use rice and instead go with greens is a huge win for me. Also given the quality and amount of meats you wont feel gypped at all when subbing for greens.

Comment: Good food, but the owner needs to come down on the employees for being incredibly lazy. Just ordered two rolls and watched the short, fat guy with the black beard chatting with the three other people behind the counter for five minutes, while two of them ate, before he even started making the rolls I ordered. Eating or socializing in front of waiting customers are grounds to be fired at every restaurant Ive ever worked.

Comment: I love the food here - very fresh and fast service. However, the prices here are way too high compared to prices of poke bowls around the city (and a few other cities I’ve traveled to). Most places give toppings such as cilantro and green onions for free. Be prepared to pay $0.50 for a sprig of cilantro, $0.50 for a sprinkle of green onions and $1.50 for a few pieces of avocado.

Comment: My first reaction was the menu has a similar idea to Tokyo Joes, which isnt a bad thing! I like how you can build a bowl or a burrito, which I love sushi burritos! Today my boyfriend and I tried it for the first time, so he ordered a #5 kalbi & I just built my own banh mi, although they have one already on the menu. We both enjoyed the flavors of both bowls, and I noticed the happy hour specials between 3-5. I will definitely visit again, and am surprised we never went sooner!

Comment: This my first review, ever! Seriously, where do I start? Amazing customer service and super amazing food, simply delicious. Walked in for the second time today and was greeted by all the staff on the floor. Got my order, and within a couple of minutes I was out the door. I walked back to my workplace, and opened my food to get starting. Then I realized that my salmon wasnt grilled, and I can almost guarantee that it was my fault that I selected the wrong type of salmon. Anyhow, since I worked next door, I decided to walk back and get my grilled salmon in exchange for the sushi salmon. Well, I was amazed on how professional they all were. Nolan and Conner kept apologizing for not getting it right, although I am almost certain that I didnt choose the right type of salmon in the first place, yet they took the fall for it. #Shouout to Nolan, Conner, Ben, and Stuart. Simply amazing. What a great service they offer and super delicious food. These guys are dope. Will definitely return. Keep up that attitude you guys, it brings smiles. #Motomaki
