Motto Motto means more.
Motto Motto brings restaurant-quality Japanese food into a modern, fast-casual setting. Born from the kitchen of Sono, one of Australia’s most awarded Japanese restaurants, we take the best of traditional Japanese fine dining and reimagine it for everyday dining.
Our commitment to Motto Motto Grade quality shapes everything we do. From cooked-to-order premium Wagyu beef and sashimi-grade salmon to our signature ramen super broth, we use premium ingredients to deliver food that is fresh, distinctive and made with care.
Since launching in 2014, Motto Motto has grown to more than 20 restaurants across Australia. Our first regional franchise in Townsville welcomed more than 70,000 guests in its first year, showing the strength of the brand in both metropolitan and regional markets.
