MOMO Sushi

Momo Sushi always hit the spot whenever me and my friends are craving sushi. Plenty of parking spots in the plaza and I have never had to wait long for a table. My go-to sushi order here is the Dragon Roll. The agedashi tofu is one of the best i've ever had. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The curry tonkatsu and the tempura udon are my go to hot dishes here.

We were in the Mill Creek area, did a Yelp search, and came upon Momo Sushi with high ratings. Let's give it a try. The place is tidy and clean. There are two entrances from two ends of parking lot. There was no wait, and we sat down immediately. I noticed a group of four Japanese chatting in Japanese eating at the sushi counter. I told myself - good sign. Service was swift and efficient, no complaints. Their food prices are on the higher end; they look like Bellevue, Kirkland prices, which surprised me. Basic items like agedashi tofu and takoyaki are nearly $10. Their rolls appear to be amongst their best options. The rice is sufficiently thin. The fish is fresh. The sauces are restrained. These are my min bars for sushi rolls. The Food: Lion King Roll, $14.95 - 4.5 Stars Menu: Snow crab, avocado, topped with salmon, baked with dynamite Sauce, masago, green onionI enjoy a baked roll if it's done right. Theirs is not swimming in sauce. Good execution with the snow crab having just a touch of warmth. Very good execution overall.Amazing Roll, $18.95 - 4 StarsMenu: Bluefin tuna, hamachi, salmon, jalapeno, top with scallop, avocado, fresh wasabi sauceThis is one of their most spendy rolls. I like the variety of fishes, plus the scallop topping, so this is a thumbs up for me. Double Salmon Roll, $15.95 - 4 StarsMenu: Salmon Sashimi, avocado, cucumber inside, topped with salmon, masago, green onionThis is essentially a CA roll made with salmon instead. Given their salmon is pretty good, it's a thumbs up, too.Hamachi Kama, $18.95 - 1 Stars This grilled yellowtail collar seasoned with salt and pepper is terrible AND expensive. It's easily one of the most expensive hamachi kamas that we have had in the greater Puget Sound area. It was dry, and they didn't sear the skin. It's a double failure to not have cooked it in high enough temp to seal in the juices and not sear the skin. Fail!

Located in Mill Creek Town Center, we were craving Sushi and saw great pictures of Sushi on yelp. The experience was underwhelming in the aspect that their sushi was amazing but the ambiance was forgetful. We got greeted and seated right as we arrived but the staff while not helping customers stood around by the register. WFor Drinks we ordered the happy hour Sake and Sapporo Beer. For Sushi we ordered the Lion King and The Love Hunter Roll. The Lion King is baked and came warm. It is rich in flavor. The Love Hunter has a good spice and crunch from the jalapeno. We did appreciate the presentation of the sushi which lived up to the photos of others experience. The Sushi is a 5/5, ambiance is about a 3/5 and giving total 4/5.

My wife and I decided on sushi for a rare date night without the kids and MOMO Sushi was along the path, so we decided to try a new place. TLDR; it was solid but hasn't stolen my #1 spot.We arrived at 4:30 on a Monday evening, as soon as they'd opened and were pleasantly surprised to see that Happy Hour was available until 5:30, saving us a few dollars on some of our selections.The two of us were HUNGRY so we ordered Takoyaki plus five rolls, after getting some recommendations from the server. We asked if that would be too much and she told us it should be about right; four would have been perfect. I hurt a little bit afterwards.My oolong tea came out quickly, but I was a bit disappointed to have a bag of tea instead of a pot I could use for refills. Takoyaki came in a few minutes and was the best I've had. A good chewiness and texture for the octopus without being rubbery, with a smooth and creamy filling, and delicious sauces on top. I satisfied myself with the main dish but my wife gladly ate the greens underneath coated in the sauce as well.Three rolls came out first - Salamander, Tokyo, and Crunch Rolls. The Salamander has a side of sauce that was phenomenal and added a bit of spice, as well as a complexity of flavor that was appreciated; the Roll may have been disappointing otherwise, but we both enjoyed it. The Tokyo Roll was OK for me, but I'd probably pass next time (though, to be fair, my wife liked that one more than most). The kiwi on top didn't do anything for me, but the wife really enjoyed it. On the other hand, I really liked the Crunch Roll, but my better half wasn't as big a fan, saying that she would've liked more texture on top. Paired with ginger and wasabi, it hit the spot for me.Speaking of ginger, I'll say that MOMO had the largest pieces for ginger I've ever had at a sushi restaurant and, while tasty, that wasn't a good thing. I had to tear some pieces to avoid having a triple-folded piece on top of my sushi. I wish they'd cut it a bit smaller for my convenience. Not a big deal, but there it is.Our last two rolls came out - the MOMO Roll and Super California Roll. Shockingly, the namesake roll was both of our least favorite and the one we'd drop next time. The roll was deep fried and warm, with a cold tuna topping. It wasn't bad, but was bland compared to the other rolls and didn't have the heat or depth of flavor I was expecting. The SCR was tasty, adding a bit of texture by deep frying the traditional California Roll and adding some sauce and roe on top. As a side note, our first tray of three rolls had a side of ginger and wasabi, but none was provided on the second tray. I probably could have requested more, but chose to go a bit light on ginger to make it last.Including tip, the bill came out to a bit over $100. Not a cheap date, but we ate well and, had we skipped the MOMO Roll, we would've been closer to $80. Overall, I'd go back but I'd want to try a few different rolls. For some reason, it seems that almost all their rolls include avocado, which seems a bit odd (though I do typically enjoy it).

We went to MOMO Sushi for dinner on a weekday evening after work. I've had them a few times before for takeout during covid but I never had the chance to dine in until now. I definitely preferred the dine in experience and food more. The fish was good quality and enjoyable. It wasn't the most top end cuts as expected but it was very enjoyable. I'm not much of a rolls fan but I could definitely tell by the menu that they specialized in making rolls so that's what we mostly ordered. The service was great and the restaurant decor was pretty nice and cute inside. I would definitely recommend to give this place a try!

Amazing sushi - always fresh and delicious. But VERY EXPENSIVE. Also, the prices in the restaurant are different (less) than when you order through food delivery like UberEats (more). Ordered my usual in the restaurant and it was $10-$15 cheaper than when I order through Uber. Despite how good their food is, I feel scammed by knowing this and have chosen not to order from here as often.

Food was ok but expect to pay min 18% service charge (was not informed in advance and nowhere mentioned on menu) if you come there with your kids like we did.

Best quality fish and creations. I work for Japanese owned company and they come here, which is how I found them. Ten stars

I would come back had they told my table about the 20% tip. They shouldn't be able to tell me that I have to tip 20% when industry standard is 15% based on service. The menu doesn't state this is a requirement based on table size or that it is their standard practice, nor did the server inform us. If they feel they have the right to do this, they should just increase the cost per roll or at least put this in the menu so customers have the ability to choose if they want to eat here. I will not be back due to this shady business practice.

My daughter and I went on a mommy-and-me lunch date to MOMO. We had a lovely time. We order chirashi, caterpillar roll, and tuna roll.Chirashi: well-priced, colorful variety of sashimi, sashimi pieces were generous in size, they substituted as I have shrimp allergies Tuna roll: tuna had good color and quality Caterpillar roll: delicious! Service staff were attentive and topped up my green tea without me requesting a top up.
