    It took a solid 15 minutes or so before we were greeted, which isn't a big deal, but the Sushi bar was also a bit backed up, so it would have been nice to be able to at least get some drinks and starters going a bit quicker. That ends the complaints - service was overall exceptional. We got some fairly "standard" rolls, but even the rainbow roll that you can get just about anywhere was exceptional. They had monkfish liver on special with a yuzu sauce that was absolutely out of this world. There was also a jalapeno toro crispy rice nigiri special that was one of the best bites I've had all year - extremely unique flavors and a really fun party of textures. When I come back, I'll definitely explore some of the more unique options available - my party was a bit averse to branching out too much - even though they ended up *loving* the monkfish liver, our most "adventurous" pick. Seaweed salad and gomae were also top-notch. I had a "Scott Toddy" - probably the best hot toddy I've had (FYI: sweeter than usual). I'll probably pass on the house sake next time and spend the few extra bucks on something nicer. There was nothing wrong with it, and for $9 it'll do the job, but there's a reason you get 9oz for $9. I can't wait to come back.

    As always, the fish was super fresh, including live scallops. A special request for Abalone from Kona was fulfilled. The Abalone prepared three ways, a stew, a stir fry, and as sashimi was absolutely marvelous. The blue crab hand rolls were outstanding along with the toro and salmon samplers! To top it off, the whiskey gelato, WOW!

    Food and service were great. Haven’t been in the space since it was the old Sinju restaurant. They did a really good jog on the remodel

    I take everyone I care about here. Joy, Koji and Rachel are truly some of the most accommodating and warm people. Everyone here truly takes their job seriously and is there to make sure your dining experience is perfect. It’s such a breath of fresh air. I recommend every single thing on the menu, and no matter where you sit you will have an incredible time. Gluten free friendly as well!

    MOMOYAMA is always top notch when it comes to fresh fish, preparation and creativity. They continue to push boundaries with new ideas and wonderful preparations. Their Sake list is unending and cocktails are creative!
