Why book a table at Chotto Motto?
From the retro Showa-era decor to the crispy chilli oil that made us famous, here's why Melbourne keeps coming back for more.
Great atmosphere and the quality of the food was outstanding. The inside of the restaurant really feels like Japan (and I've live there!). Friendly staff as well. Highly recommended!
Spent my birthday here!! Amazing experience. I'm from overseas and visiting Melbourne for a few weeks and I wanted to spend my 30th birthday somewhere special and this is what my sister recommended! I love anything Japanese and anime and this place is so perfect! Reminds me of Dorohedoro ^_^
Seriously delicious food, great service and the vibe is something else! One night out for dinner felt like a holiday away from home.
Loved the creative dishes and cocktails! Everything was delicious. Will be coming back next time im in Melbourne!
