Mojo Japanese Kitchen in Nieuwmarkt/Lastage

Location and service top but the prices and food quality are not. Sushi quality is mediocre. Fried stuff is from frozen premade food. And 8€ for water is insane. Will not return and I don’t recommend this place. Price quality balance is definitely not met in this establishment.

A place in Amsterdam where you can only go by reservation. The concept is quite unique. You make a two-hour reservation. After scanning the QR code on the table, the order menu automatically appears for those who also scan the QR code. You and your friends can order every eight minutes. You can actually eat unlimited food, but it gets crowded very quickly. The food is already delicious. The sushi is very good. If you're going with a group and planning a large meal, definitely order the salads. The crab, kale, and chicken salads are excellent. I wouldn't recommend ordering the duck and Kam Lo Wanton. Other than that, the crispy sushi, chicken, cucumber sauce, and shrimp were very good.

The sushi and appetizers were delicious, but I found the service poor. There was hardly any conversation, no explanation of what was being served, and as a result, the atmosphere was rather unpleasant. I would recommend it for the food, but I do think the service could be improved. A smile goes a long way.

We visited at 13:30 on a Tuesday, and everything was excellent. The AYCE unlimited option offered plenty of choices, all served quickly with fresh, delicious ingredients. We enjoyed a cozy couch seat with a beautiful view of the water, which made the experience even better. We’ll definitely be coming back and bringing more friends with us!

It was our first time here and it definitely won't be our last. Amazing time, delicious food, great, fast service and so much to choose from. Definitely worth a visit.

We went here for the all-you-can-eat sushi last night and overall we liked it it wasn’t bad at all. The service was definitely very fast. We ordered 2 rounds with 5 dishes each, so around 20 portions for two people. Some dishes came with 4 or 2 pieces, and some with just 1. We paid €43 per person. You get 2 hours, and within those 2 hours you can order as much as you want, as long as you can finish it.🙂 Also, I found it a bit strange that some desserts required an extra charge. Since it’s an all-you-can-eat menu, I think desserts should be included as well There was only one thing I didn’t like. The family with kids at the table next to us left quite a mess, and the floor was full of food remains. Nobody cleaned it up, and then they seated another customer there. That person’s order didn’t arrive for a long time, and after waiting, they eventually left. I think the restaurant should pay more attention to details like this.

The food was pretty good but à la carte portions were tiny (the same as all you can eat portions). My date and I actually laughed at how small each portion was as it arrived. I think either go for all you can eat or do not go at all, you would end up spending around the same for much less. Cocktail was watery. Service was a bit inattentive. A wall sconce was shining right in my eye the entire dinner, a good interior designer would catch this, we wanted to move tables but none were available. Overall the service and atmosphere do not feel as ‘premium’ as the prices would suggest. I would eat here again if I was not paying.

We were waiting for Teriaky for 30+ minutes. In addition free portion of wasabi and ginger were not offered. Terrible experience. Highly not recommended.

Our team outing ended fittingly at Mojo. Friendly staff, delicious food. We also booked too few seats, but that was easily resolved. We'll definitely be back to Mojo.

We had diner at Mojo and it was very tasty. You can choose the all you can eat service for 40€ per person ( it’s worth it ) and can order from the menu what ever you want for the next 2 hours ( some things have a little extra prize, but that was totally fine ). You have enough time and the service was fast. Was a nice diner and we enjoyed everything.

Great food, excellent service during dinner and via the phone as well to arrange our group reservation.

After ordering, it took 30 minutes for the food to arrive. First came the sushi, then the edamame and shrimp chips, and finally the soup. The miso soup is served in a bowl slightly smaller than a teacup. Despite this, there's a line out the door. The waiters just throw the plates on the table and leave. It was a huge disappointment.

Very busy, and half the staff are really unfriendly and rude. They don't speak Dutch and make no effort at all. Food is just slammed onto your table. The other half are friendly and do speak Dutch, and you can ask them questions and get answers. In short, a typical Amsterdam city center establishment. Expensive.

The food is a bit hit or miss. I didn't like the sushi much (and I looooove sushi, but it didn't taste very fresh), but the warm dishes were really good, and there's a lot of choice. With the exception of one very friendly and funny waiter, the dishes were just put on the table without a word, which I disliked a bit. Despite this, we might be back when we'rein Amsterdam again, because you really get a lot for your money, and now we know which dishes we liked best.

The food was very good and delivered quickly. Ordering was easy by scanning a QR code on your phone. It was busy, but the noise didn't bother us. The only downside where we were seated was that we were quite close together. A little more space between tables would have been nice.

Beautiful place with a fantastic view! I definitely recommend it. 😁 The food was 10/10 and the staff was friendly. Plus, it's within walking distance of Central Station.

Service is very good The atmosphere is also very nice, because you can see the big canal and it's lovely ! The food is pretty good, especially the sweet/sour chicken !

I’ve had much better “All you can eat sushi” in Amsterdam and Mojo is not on top of my list for sure! Everything was bland and maki had too much rice that you could barely taste the fish or other ingredients! The waiting time for each order was so long that we almost forgot what we ordered. Normally you can order dessert unlimited in every similar restaurant with this concept but after ordering 4 of them they told us that we need to pay extra if we want to order more!! The variety of the food was limited + some of the most basic ones (e.g. Lam chops) are not included and you need to pay! The only good point is the location and that’s it! Definitely it was our first and last time!

Sushi was really fresh and tasty, well done!!

We ate here on the 26th of Octobre with a group of 4. The service was good and the atmosphere was nice, but the food was lacking for the price. Often it was cold, which was weird because the restaurant was pretty full, and some dishes didnt taste the same when ordered in round 1 and round 2. Nothing was ice cold or tasteless but it was dissapointing. With the other All you can eat options nearby I don't think we will be coming back

The food was delicious, and there was plenty of choice. It's a nice spot with a view of the water. If we plan another day in Amsterdam, we'll definitely go there for sushi. One minor complaint: we found the music too loud and inappropriate for a restaurant.

We had a delightful evening. The food was generally delicious. The creme brulee is a favorite.

After a while, I went back to MoJo for dinner with family. The quality is still excellent, and to my surprise, they've added some nice new additions to the All You Can Eat menu!

Reason for the 1 star is that I asked if I could have tap water. The waitress said she was sorry but they "didn't do that". I asked what she meant by they "didn't do that". She said that they would not serve tapas water. I told her that it was illegal in the Netherlands to refuse serving tap water to clients in a restaurant. She replied that she knew that but unfortunately they were not allowed by the business owners to serve tapas water to clients. She seemed to be truly ashamed of it. I cannot put more than one star to a restaurant that chooses to go the illegal route like that and pressure their staff into it. And it's not like the food is cheap either...

Most of the sushi and some grill stuff we received was smothered in sauce. Maybe personal preference, but we did not appreciate this. Maybe better to have some sauce as an option or on the side? The service was also slow. It seemed like there was only one person hosting in our wing with many tables, and she also helped to bring the food. This meant there was a long wait and sometimes things were forgotten because of the busy-ness.

This was my 2nd time at Mojo. While the 1st time a year ago was a great experience, this time I was really disappointed with the food. The sushi was pretty tasteless. The other items on the menu were a bit better and when we ordered dessert, we realised we were limited with how many we could order. Even though we were 3 people, we could not order 2 of the same item twice, without having to pay extra. This was also not mentioned to us from the beginning.

Unfortunately, this time it was very disappointing. Several dishes weren't served, the service was chaotic, and at 9:30 PM the kitchen closed, so we couldn't order anything. We barely ate anything in the end, but still paid around €228 for four people and a two-year-old child. That really felt out of proportion.

Wood food warm, nothing fresh, better buffets around wouldn't recommend.

Ate here with a few friends. The atmosphere was immediately noticeable. We sat at a large round table by the window, with a fantastic view of the water. Often, large groups sit at long tables, but here they had a very large round table. This was fantastic. The food was beautifully presented, and the flavors were truly excellent. I was truly amazed at how high the quality was. The cocktails were delicious, with a wide variety and unique flavors, which I really appreciated. The staff cleared the table regularly, which I appreciated. However, a few didn't speak Dutch, which I still find a bit of an issue in my own country. But they were very friendly. Today, not 5, but 4 stars for service. I've shared this surprisingly positive experience at home and will definitely be back!

Very bad, very rude on the phone when I told them that there were worms in my food

We tried the ‘All You Can Eat Sushi’ deal (which is available until 15pm and from 16pm until closure). Best sushi I’ve ever eaten, and I think it was relatively cheap too for how much we’ve eaten in that deal. The sushi just kept coming! I highly recommend!

The manager is the best! The staff is excellent!

The kitchen closes an hour before the restaurant does

The food is really good. However, the staff serviced badly, without smile. We asked for a new table as the one he suggested is so hot. It seemed like he was not ok just said “where do like want to sit” with bad tone of his voice. Once we asked for a bill, and we wanted to split the bill for 3 people, he said we don’t normally do that, with his face that was not ok. As customers, if the staff have a way to communicate with us nicely and softly, we are totally fine with not splitting the bill. I’d recommend to have good service minded please.

The service is good, the presentation of the food is good, but the food itself is of very low quality, the meat seems like the cheapest one bought at Albert Heijn, some sushi has too much mayonnaise.

Most of the food we ordered was not fresh, especially the mussels and beef. Fish was sliced ​​so thinly in sushi that you could hardly taste it, 90% was rice. The service only came to us to bring food or bring the bill. In most cases, our table was completely occupied by dirty plates. Overall, the atmosphere there was okay, but because of the food and service not really enjoyed being there.

Probably the best all you can eat concept in its class in Amsterdam. They also offer a la carte options. Very friendly and service oriented staff.

We had a delicious meal on a weekday (Tuesday) (AYCE = all you can eat). You can also choose à la carte. As usual, the food was excellent, including the sushi and teppan yaki dishes to share. "Sharing is caring," as I always say. :)

One full tech place for Sushil. Once you are seated, you place your order and self guided carts gets your order to your table. Great food and wonderful. Experience.

They have dozens of dishes and most are delicious! The food arrives quickly after ordering. The service is good and they're fast too. The atmosphere is busy. There's some ambient noise, but you can hear each other! There's only one parking garage nearby, and it's about a 5-minute walk. We paid €52 per person, excluding parking! I think the prices could be a bit lower.

Great experience, There’s a lot of options and deserts. We were so full. The lychee mocktail is amazing. Denis was really helpful and friendly. Thank you❤️

Was a fantastic experience. Denis provided me with excellent service, it was my first time and I would 100% recommend returning. Buffet style allows you to have everything

I go there very often. Yesterday was just the two of us, but sometimes with groups of 10+ and sometimes 50+ people (at Christmas, for example). It's always fun to be there, for the view, the atmosphere, and the food! :) The only thing I miss is the consistent menu (everything is delicious and well-seasoned). I hardly notice any difference in the dishes. Otherwise, I highly recommend it for any occasion.

Can highly recommend. Great food, great atmosphere, very nice service. Absolutely worth its price. My recommendation: the veggies

Enjoyed delicious sushi for lunch and the lovely weather during Sail!

Great ambience, friendly staff. I took all you can eat option. This works well if you know what you are ordering. Some of the food I picked are a bit salty for me.

Eva is a really sweet woman who really cares about the customer and creates a good atmosphere when she serves us, which is very nice.

Mojo is the best place because Mrs. Eva works there sweet woman

Eva makes you feel at ease; she's a super fun, sweet, and spontaneous girl. Truly a gem! ❤️

lovely employees, very tasty food!

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! Everything was very good from. The view from the window is simply amazing and makes the atmosphere even more enjoyable. The food is delicious, and the overall ambiance is pleasant - bright natural light from the big windows and not too loud, which made it perfect for a relaxed meal. The highlight, though, was the staff. Everyone was friendly and attentive, making us feel very welcome. A special mention to Ivy, who truly charmed us with her warm smile every time she came to the table – she made the experience even more memorable. I highly recommend this place and will probably return soon myself!

This restaurant offers both unlimited and à la carte options. The system works like this: You sit at any table. The QR code on the table opens for 2 hours. Each person can order five dishes every 7 minutes. However, this time is sufficient. Orders arrive quickly, but there can be a slight buildup. This is especially important to keep in mind to avoid wasting last-minute orders. The food and the location are excellent. The crispy sushi and ice cream were especially delicious. We'll definitely stop by if we're ever in the area. We went in the evening and paid around €40 per person, and a liter of water cost around €8.75.

Ugh, they have really good edema here. I want that recipe. I actually only come for that.

It was really great fun and good service

Service is outstanding! Food is fresh and the variety is quite wide. Loved the fried wantons!

The food was delicious and the atmosphere was cozy. I'll definitely be back!

Complete rip off of a restaurant. Do not come here. They charge €7.95 for a teeny tiny bowl of fried rice. €4.95 for one single piece of tofu. Unbelievable!

Delicious fresh food and the drinks were very nice too.

The location of the restaurant is very central. Close to the station. The interior is cosy and sleek decorated. The view outside is outstanding, looking out at the waters. The food has good quality, but nothing special. Overall, good location and decent quality.

Very good restaurant and good service! The food was delicious and a lot of variety but the price isn’t great! It’s very expensive for what you eat! But I recommend this place.

I honestly didn't like the sushi that much; I've had better sushi. The all-you-can-eat concept is minimal, not much selection. I tried it once, never again. The atmosphere and staff make sure the food arrives quickly.

Anas is the best server! Big shout out!!!

Amazing restaurant, anas was the best waiter. Give him a raise

Great restaurant especially Anas is doing a great job!!

It looked cozy inside but we didn't eat there

Often the food that we ordered didn’t come. That was really frustrating. Also the sushi is not the best. It could use more spice. Taste really basic and not fresch

Eva is the best! Best service and very warm contact!

Delicious food and good service. Lovely people :)

Ambience was great but that could also be due to the fact that we were sitting right by the beautiful window front! Food was delicious, loved the all you can eat offer, go for it! However, service was a bit unorganized and we wish drinks would’ve been included….. but we are full and happy.

Heerlijke vers bereide sushi, ruime keuze bij de all you can eat. De crispy mayo sushi en de flamed salmon waren onze favoriet!

Always good, we are regular customers here and very satisfied

The service was well-organized. They were very prompt. Eva was very friendly. Definitely recommended, and I'll definitely be back.

Amazing! Great food, great vibes and unbelieveable drinks and deserts. Best of all meat and sushi to me. Highly recommended!!!

Super delicious sushi as always. I went with my girlfriend and even got tea on the house. Great service too!

We were groub of six, fiod was amazing and the service experience was great Location and view was great

Wonderful Sushi - great location / very nice team, the only part that I didn’t like that the Sashimi was included in the all you can eat menu - still the other dishes were perfect and could not fault any. Even some of the other dishes will still contain sashimi portions

We had a delicious meal for €150 after attending Sail2025. I'll definitely go back next time. Fantastic. A truly wonderful experience eating with chopsticks.

Had a fantastic meal with my daughter. Reservations are recommended. Top-notch restaurant.

Really nice japanese restaurant that offers seating with a river view. It is possible to order all you can eat (with small dishes ordered in serveral rounds) or à la carte. The unagi nigiri, the shrimp skewer, and the salmon tartar tobiko were some of my favorite dishes. The apple gyozas ordered together with ice cream were also pretty nice. For service you scan a QR code in your table and you see the menu and order from your phone. If you do the all you can eat menu, then you can order a round of 5 items per person on the table, every 8 minutes, which prevents you from ordering more than what you will be able to actually eat. You can use more than 1 phone at the same time, and the items in the shopping cart will update across all phones simultaneously, which is pretty neat. I don't like having to use my phone to see a menu or to order, but at least here the web app works well and it is well implemented. Some of the dishes take a really long time to come though, usually the warm ones. We thought they had forgotten a couple of times. In others, the item arrived once we had already finished everything else and ordered a new round, so expect to wait a bit extra for these.

The makis are simple; I expected more variety with toppings and sauces. The rest of the sushi dishes were excellent. I recommend the lamb chops; they were very tender! €42.50 per person. All-inclusive is quite expensive, but that probably depends on the location.

If you like a vreetschuur (dutch saying) this is your place to be! But if you like good quality food prepared with care and love for the Japanese food, you better skip this restaurant. Although the crew was very friendly, i wouldn’t recommend going there

A good all you can eat experience for Japanese food by the water right next to the Central Station. Food came within minutes after your online order. A lot of variety and you have two hours to enjoy which is more than enough for us. Also a good place to se the sunset if you come by the evening.

We had a wonderful meal and we enjoy it every month

Great service, lovely people and the quality is top notch!

We went to this Japanese restaurant after visiting the Nemo Museum (which is next door) and I couldn't believe what I was seeing when they brought me the dishes! If I had the body of a Playmobil, it would be fine (the amount would be just right), but since we're normal humans, it wasn't even enough for a tooth socket! Very small plates, very little food for the prices. If I have to say something good, I'd say that the "little" food they brought us was good. In short, to feel even a little bit better, we had to order about 10 dishes, and we spent €115, only to end up hungry and without dessert. Anyway, if you eat very little and like good Japanese food, I recommend it. Otherwise, it's better to go somewhere else; Amsterdam has good restaurants at all levels, balanced (price/quality/quantity).

Ein weiteres, erstklassiges japanisches Restaurant in Salzburg! Die japanische Küche in der Mozartstadt: Viel hat sich getan in den letzten Monaten, wobei das bisherige Angebot bereits als ausgezeichnet zu bezeichnen ist (zum Beispiel das Koi am Bahnhof). Das MOJO reiht sich ein in die Liste der kulinarischen Ausnahmerestaurants. Das Konzept ist mittlerweile bekannt: Per Tablett bestellt man Leckerbissen der japanischen Küche - und das sind tatsächlich wahre Leckerbissen: Temaki, Onigiri, Hosomaki, Uramaki, Nigiri und dann erst die gebratene Ente, oder das Huhn, Beef im Hot Pot und vieles mehr. Es schmeckt nicht nur großartig, die Qualität der Speisen ist ebenfalls bemerkenswert. Der Nachtisch - ein Gedicht (für das man allerdings separat zu bezahlen hat). Das Lokal extrem sauber und sehr nett eingerichtet. Die MitarbeiterInnen freundlich und aufmerksam. Wir kommen wieder!

Don't come! They're so stingy, they charge an extra euro for all-you-can-eat meals! Even only choose one dessert? Never again!

Absolutely recommended for high-quality Japanese food!

A wonderful evening. Very friendly staff and chefs. We'd be happy to come back again, because it was the best sushi we've ever eaten.

Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by Bin, even though we didn't have a reservation on this busy Friday evening. The food was good quality and served quickly. See you soon, Bin! Greetings from Eindhoven.

Very good service, they were so kind normally fully booked and still gave us an table and went beyond, food was very delicious 10/10 would recommend.

Modern, fast service, most of dishes are tasty, nice view out of the window, convenient system of ordering. Some dishes might be optimised (lack of spices). Robot-waiters are not involved to the process - it’s a pity.

Fantastic staff, excellent service, and delicious food, definitely recommended. It was also very clean and had a nice atmosphere.

Not really authentic Japanese, more like an asian diner, but the speed and services are top notch.

Incredibly friendly staff, a warm welcome. Beautiful interior and very, very delicious food. 10/10

This was my first time eating at Mojo. I have a nut and peanut allergy, and they were very accommodating. The allergens were clearly indicated on the menu. And the staff was extremely friendly and attentive. I found it very thoughtful that a staff member even stopped by to check if everything was okay with my allergy. I will definitely be back. All the food was delicious. You get a 10 from me!

Eva was treated very kindly and super nice

Had a wonderful meal yesterday. The dishes arrived quickly and were delicious. The service was very friendly. Highly recommended.

Superb restaurant, the food is very good, a little disappointed by the price of the bottle of water 7.95..€ more expensive than a soft cocktail. Apart from that, great restaurant. 2 options: all-you-can-eat or à la carte service. All dishes are halal apart from 1. Quite a lot of choice

I've been to Mojo many times, but after eating at Tatsu for a long time, I was craving Mojo again. I have to be honest, the selection of sushi is now much smaller than what's included in the all-you-can-eat package. If you want to eat other sushi, you have to pay extra, which wasn't the case before. I also found the flavors and sauces a bit lacking; there wasn't really a hint of flavor, which sauces should have. The restaurant is very nice, but quiet. Background music makes it a bit more enjoyable.
