Here's what we are doing to keep everyone safe:

  • Regular and frequent sanitizing of all restaurant and retail spaces.
  • You are welcome to wear a facemask as your own comfort.
  • No one, staff or patrons, should come to Mox if they are feeling at all unwell.
  • Takeout from our restaurants is available. (Seattle/Bellevue/Portland)
  • You can now shop at Mox from the comfort of your own home with our new "Buy Online Pick Up In Store" service. Check it out here. We'll get your order ready for you so all you need to do is stop by to pick it up.
