A little bit of the Japanese culture comes to Buenos Aires with Moshi Moshi. The menu features a variety of high-quality sushi rolls, as well as other dishes traditional to Japan, mixed in with some Thai and Vietnamese cuisine. Don’t get me wrong, I love my steak as much as the next guy, but sometimes mixing it up 
can be a little fun. (I admit, what convinced me was actually the sake bar… more on that later.)
Moshi Moshi is located in the Las Cañitas area, at the corner of Ortega and Gasset 1707 on the first floor. The decor is pretty sleek and modern: low lighting and large windows the let diners peer out onto the streets.
While I hear the sushi is incredible, I went with the Ebi No Somen, which is one of the most popular dishes, or so they say. It is prawns wrapped in crispy noodles, and apparently it is a version of traditional Vietnamese imperial rolls.
Moshi Moshi is the trendy place to eat Japanese in Buenos Aires, that is for sure. Other restaurants, such as Gaijin on Paraguay 3521, don’t receive nearly as much attention, but the fish is way better.
I think the main reason to come to Moshi Moshi for me would be the sake bar. It is set on a roof-top terrace, apart from the first floor Moshi Moshi restaurant. The bar features nine different sakes and three types of shochu. For the less daring it also stocks your typical top shelf liquors. Open up the cocktail menu and randomly pick a drink and you will probably still end up with something delicious like nothing you have ever had before. Moshi Moshi’s sake bar combines Asian liquors with South American flavors, which makes for an incredible combination.
If you plan to eat at Moshi Moshi, plan to make a reservation. The number for reservations is 4772–2005. If you don’t feel like heading out, then order in at 4775–0225. The restaurant is open from 8 pm to close from Tuesday to Sunday.
