Profile
The Murray Hill sushi bar formerly known as Maxie has undergone a quiet transformation, with the addition of a new management team, new menu, and boundary-breaking new chef. Joe Kurauchi trained in Japan, where he learned kaiseki technique, before embarking on a worldwide culinary tour, eating and cooking in 120 countries, by his count, and working in such far-flung kitchens as El Bulli, the Fat Duck, and Stella Maris in Paris. Moco’s modest environs belie a daringly eclectic menu, where “entremeses” like pan con tomate appear alongside Nagoya-style chicken wings, and a soup called “misostrone” combines white miso, tofu, eggplant, carrots, zucchini, and wakame with frothy red-miso espuma. There’s also a wide array of untraditional maki rolls, and panko-crusted ice-cream croquettes for dessert.

I have been to many sushi restaurants around the city. Moco's a great place to try if you want to take in the lacklustre surroundings straight out of Ikea's living room design section.
Service is painfully slow. Even with the few wandering customers Moco manages to pull in from busy 3rd Ave, the service seemed to be practically non-existent. Without exaggerating, we went close to 20 minutes at one point before the waitress stopped chatting with a patron at the bar to come back and see how we were doing.
Food is mediocre at best. If you like your sushi served with an overbearing hunk of stale rice, then this is your place! Definitely not worth the a la carte prices that seem reasonable until you see the corners this restaurant cuts.
Overall, skip this place. There's too many great sushi restaurants nearby to justify eating here. This restaurant is lucky there are 8million people in NYC, because I have a strong feeling few customers return.
