CHEF entrepreneur Jessie dela Cruz, a former overseas Filipino, the strategist behind Sushi Moshi restaurant, inspired and entertained me while driving as I listened to their light conversation about Japanese food and all the food he usually cook with the host Belle Surara on a Sunday noontime radio program “Eat Konnect Na” (12:00 noon to 1:00 pm) of Radyo Agila DZEC 1062 Khz, Eagle Broadcasting Corporation.

Jessie relayed that during his young age to this time, eating food and cooking were both his passion and his way of living. He's fond of trying something, concocting ingredients to create with the dishes he liked.

Jessie’s inspirations to start a Japanese restaurant came to fruition from working hard with two jobs - one in the morning and one in the evening when he was in Nagoya, Japan way back 1992 to 1998. He delivered different ingredients to stores in the morning and an all-around one-man operation in a Japanese club in the evening. It made him know how the ins and outs of the process of a Japanese food and entertainment establishment. He was mentored by his former boss in Japan.

With all these wealth of experience, he came back rising and now opened this Sushi Moshi last November 2017. At first, they just wanted to open a small sushi store but found a better space that provided them to generate a dine-in and take-out of several Japanese dishes with a wide variety of sushi rolls, from starter, ala carte, nigiri, ramen, donburi and sashimi among others.

Grateful to Chuchi Estanislao, a friend and a financial advisor who connected me to the owners to taste and review the food they offer.

The brand name Sushi Moshi according to Jessie was derived from “sushi” and “moshi moshi.” Sushi is known as a Japanese dish of specially prepared rice with small amount of vinegar, with sugar and salt, combined with a variety of ingredients, such as seafood, vegetables, and occasionally tropical fruits; while Moshi from “moshi moshi” in Japanese in answering the phone, which means “hey dude or hello”.

Restaurant Review

POSITIVE AMBIANCE IN SUSHI MOSHI - Having good vibes in this new Japanese restaurant in Wilcon City Center, Visayas Avenue, Quezon City, Philippines.  In photo are Belle Surara, Joey Morales, Juliet Z. Cruz, Mrs. dela Cruz and Chuchi Estanislao.

Ambiance – 5 stars

SUSHI MOSHI MURAL designed by their artist

The visuals from murals to marketing collateral, the smile of the service personnel and the total package of the Sushi Moshi store brought us the atmosphere of happiness, youthfulness, prosperity, positive mood, creativity, synergy and dynamism.

The color combination of mint green of the chairs and the light orange accents of accessories and the paintings on the wall, the look, the style of the signage and the total image and branding of the restaurant imbibes to attract a wide array of customers including kids, families and even senior citizens.

SUSHI MOSHI MURALS or paintings on walls are light orange and mint green combination and "kawaii" inspired.   

Sushi Moshi’s interior design has a unique appeal, a modern Japanese marvel that tells a story of an entrepreneur.

It is fun, colorful and “kawaii.” The latter in Japanese means lovable, cute, or adorable and pretty inviting for the young ones and so the culture of cuteness in Japan.

This dish took a little longer time to serve. It was grilled with the smoky flavor. The chicken meat was so tender and deboned.

Another yummy favorite dish!
