I enjoyed dining at Momo Sushi. I was staying in town for the day but before I left I stopped in to eat. On the second level there is seating and a sushi bar ( I sat at the say hi bar since I was dining alone). Service was quick and my server very pleasant and attentive. She checked in regularly and made honest suggestions. I ordered a few different items off the menu and enjoyed it all despite being a picky eater. Took the rest to go since I order more then my stomach could fit. I recommend this place to everyone I know close enough to drop in.

Ahhh where to start, this place is a very cute little gem in Old Town the best part about its placement is that it is not along the main strip and just off on a side street. The restaurant is located in an old townhouse so there isn't a ton of space but the space is used very well. They have a downstairs and an upstairs that seats about 20 or so. The sushi bar is located within the feet of all the tables so you can see the chefs whipping everything up as they do it. As far as service goes we were set down immediately the service was a tad bit delayed but primarily because there was one person on the floor but we weren't waiting for that long at all. We ordered a variety of things and everything was quite delicious. I personally ordered one of the sushi bowls which came out with a very succulent fresh fish and sushi rice was amazing as well, the consistency was on the point. I would definitely recommend this place I'm just not for a larger group unless they had seating that I was not aware of. 10/10

Amazing sushi and the first time I had ever had salmon belly. Very high quality fish, melted in my mouth. Thank you so much!

If you plan on dining in, go somewhere else. This place only prioritizes take out orders, and they accept more than they can handle!We showed up and put our name in/gave phone #, and they told us it would be a 30 minute wait. We went on a walk nearby and called after around 20 minutes. They claimed we never came in/ they didn't have our info, then took our name and number down again. We decided to walk back to the restaurant and when we went to check in, they again claimed that they didn't have our name and number. The place was had a line outside for takeout orders, and several delivery men crowded the entry. Despite flagging down the staff multiple times, they looked past us and refused to acknowledge us. We stood in line and waited until 9:00, a full 30 min past when we were supposed to have been seated. The restaurant closed at 9:30, so there was no chance of us being seated. By that time, other sushi places were closed and we just went home.It would have been one thing if they told us they were too busy to seat, but to give an estimation and then ignore you is ridiculous!!

Great sushi choices even if you don’t like it raw! Tiny, packed space, friendly service. Well crafted sushi and quick service.

Fantastic food, expertly made. High quality fish! My fav sushi in the area!

Fresh and wide collection of sushis with nice staff and cozy location

Amazing sushi. Friendly staff.

One of the best in the area as for taste and flavor however, they take forever to give you an order.Came today and had to wait 20min to get my online order which was done with 2 hours ahead. I schedule everything and the same way i think of everyones time, i like to be considered as my time is valuable as well. The 20 min unexpected delay, caused me to loose an important meeting that i had but thats okay i probably wont be returning as soon as i find another place. THANKS! Ps. If customers dont want to wear masks thats okay but if youre in a position of serving them the least you can do is wear a mask and GLOVES if your handling orders to people. How careless can they be?

Fantastic sushi! High quality. Low menu prices.
