    Amazing place for lunch. Came by here before dropping off friends to the airport. To start this off I would say the most must order item here will be the CORNBREAD! Damn best cornbread I’ve ever had. Almost tasted like a dessert. I was very impressed. The other items I got are the pizza, green beans, garlic fries and their kale salad. All amazing tasting. Service is wonderful and atmosphere is amazing. Big restaurant with lots of friendly staff. Will for sure come by again.

    TIME OF MY LIFE!! I recently went to Moko kitchen with a group of ladies. A girls night out if you will, we had such an amazing time. The food at Moku was really really good. I did, however not so much like the potstickers. I guess they’re made with a specific type of pork that wasn’t for me. However, the mushroom pizza and the pumpkin ravioli were really great. The cocktails we had a bit on the expensive side, but they were really good and also very pretty. The restaurants atmosphere is awesome. It is a little loud like the music was really loud. Maybe it was just that particular night. The overall price of the restaurant is a little on the expensive side, but not overpriced. Overall, the experience was wonderful. I would definitely recommend checking it out if you had the time.

    Had a great lunch with a Local Brew [2 people]. Food was fantastic but the menu is very limited. Pizza, taco, burger fries. Main focus is on drinks and great list of Wines and Brews. Local beers and IPAs. Fast friendly service and great location that comes at an increased price. Also a great place to relax with friends and enjoying a few drinks

    A group of four had a very enjoyable evening meal at Moku. Our selections were bacon blue cheese burger, cheddar cheese burger, organic kale salad, tacos, pot stickers, and several adult beverages. The food was well prepared and enjoyable. The service was most excellent. All enjoyed our visit!

    After pandemic years. They changed the rules for ordering and seating. Good thing is the food is still good 👍 Just the price is higher now. They also charge about 5% for kitchen before tax and tips. A little surprised about the final total
