We visit for a weekday lunch and I see a bustling kitchen and a Train with over 100 plates of Sushi. We decide to order from the A La Carte Menu. While waiting for our order, Phuong Tran loves sipping her beautiful She So Shiso Cocktail and I like my Umeshu (Plum Liquer) on Ice.
Our lunch order starts to arrive after 15 minutes.
*Wagyu Melt Nigiri
*Prawn & Vegetable Tempura
*Royal Queen’s Guard Roll
*Moga Roll
Every dish is beautifully presented and freshly prepared with fresh ingredients. We enjoy our food served by the friendly and helpful wait staff. This is an exceptional meal which deserves a fourth consecutive perfect 5 in two years. Thank you. Well done Moga!

Slowly exploring more of #paddingtoneats, this time with a visit to Moga in Rosalie thanks to a Groupon voucher for 10 plates of sushi for $39.
Fun fact 1: moga (モガ) means "modern girl", a reference to Japanese women who followed Westernized fashions and lifestyles in the after World War I.
Fun fact 2: Rosalie is a former suburb of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Since 1975, it has been a neighbourhood within the suburb of Paddington.
Our order of sushi plates:
* N03 almond cheese salmon $4.70
* N05 salmon supreme $5.00
* N07 flamed tuna $4.70
* N09 flamed scallop $4.70
* N16 unagi nigiri $4.50
* R17 spicy prawn $5.00
* H04 crab claw $5.00
* H07 karaage $6.00
* H08 tatsuta fry $6.50
* H12 chicken gyoza $7.90
Also added a plum yakitori chicken (2 skewers for $8.50) from the robata grill section of the a la carte menu - grilled free range chicken breast, sea salt, tangy plum mayonnaise.
My favourites from this meal were the almond cheese salmon (something different to the typical conveyor sushi offerings) and the crab claw (hot out of the fryer and full of crab meat). Least exciting were the gyoza (more below) and the skewer (good for the first bite or two but then the dryness from the breast meat becomes apparent).
No luck finding this info online beforehand, but turns out, there are 11 different prices for sushi plates at Moga, ranging from $3.50 to $7.90. The only $7.90 item happens to be chicken gyoza, and whilst there was no way we would order 10 plates of that to maximise our savings, I figured we'd at least try one to see why it's the most expensive plate. I still don't know the answer to that question 😆 (Ok to be fair it was fine, as in pretty on par with most gyoza I've had. I just don't find eating gyoza anywhere near as satisfying as potstickers / pan fried dumplings.)
Anyways our total sushi order was worth $54, so saved $15 or close to 30% with the voucher👌For anyone interested, this deal (with 5/10/15 plate options) is still available.

Sukiyaki is very nice, beef is very fresh and marbling. The veggies goes perfectly with the soup. Would go back again for sukiyaki. Sashimi is fine, value-wise it is just ok, would jot order again.
