Momosan Morimoto

Initially I had gotten Momosan Morimoto confused with the sushi restaurant "Morimoto", but I learned that Momosan Morimoto offers ramen, nonetheless, this spot inside TD Garden's Hub Hall did not disappoint!We started off with the signature sticky ribs. They had great flavor. One thing I would have liked was if the ribs had arrived hotter, as they were already warm-ish cold when it was served to our table.I got the spicy tan-tan ramen and I loved it. It was delicious! The flavors for it meshed very well. The spicy dandan brothless ramen was also amazing. I would definitely come again !

A bit disappointed in this place - I used to love watching Iron Chef back in the day and Morimoto was always my favorite on the iron chef side. Sadly, this restaurant was not anything near my expectations. The price was high and the food was pretty average, but the staff was nice and the actual restaurant itself felt clean and modern. I ended up ordering the Tsukemen, which is one of my favorite types of ramen:Tsukemen ($17) - Normally, I LOVE Tsukemen - if you've never had it before, it's basically a bowl of dry noodles with meat and other toppings accompanied by a bowl of thick and salty broth. The idea is that you dip the noodles in the broth right before eating them, but you don't really let them sit in it for a long time. I normally love this kind of ramen because it keeps the noodles nice and bouncy and I can regulate how strong the taste of the broth is by dipping the noodles a little instead of fully submerging them. However, at Momosan Morimoto, the broth was very thin and not salty at all. It practically tasted like a normal ramen broth that you might pick up and drink, which meant that dipping the noodles didn't really give it enough of that kick in flavor. The actual toppings (meat, veg, egg) were really good, but it was extremely disappointing as a dipping ramen. I've had a few in other restaurants in Japan as well as some instant Tsukemen from a Japanese market and every time the broth is thick and salty, so I was surprised that this one was thin and very much like a normal ramen broth. On top of that, $17 for the bowl seemed a bit steep - I think there are a lot of other great spots that you can find ramen in the $14 or $15 range. All in all, the staff and ambiance was great at this restaurant, but the dish I ordered fell a bit flat. I would have liked the broth to be thicker, saltier, and less like a normal ramen if it is being called Tsukemen. I'm not an expert, but this was the first time I ordered this dish and had it prepared this way - it seemed like it would be better served as a regular bowl of ramen with the noodles in the broth instead of separated. That plus the high price point mean that Momosan Morimoto get a 3/5, and I likely will not return.

Cute little ramen place at the Hub Hall, I did read about the service being lousy and I kinda agree to it a bit. We sat at the table and the server took a good 30 mins to come and ask us if we are ready! We asked for spicy vegan broth ramen with glazed tofu however we requested if shrimp can be added to it. She straight up said no, and they didn't have any other seafood option. We requested she asks the chef and then let us know. It was nice of her that she went ahead and asked and the chef agreed to add shrimp to our ramen. The ramen was good and filling. We also tried the popcorn shrimp which were good too!

Overpriced for what you get, Saketini looked and tasted like margarita. Ramen was mediocre. Not worth the hype.

Came to Momosan Boston during lunch on the weekend. Momosan Boston is located in Hub Hall, the upscale food court in North Station. Due to its location near TD Garden and the train station, the restaurant is surrounded by the hustle and bustle of sports fans, concert-goers, and commuters. It's a great spot to go to if you're looking for a meal right before a show or before catching a train. It wasn't too busy, so we got seated fairly quickly. The staff were friendly but it did take a minute to grab someone's attention for the check when we were wrapping up our meal. Between the two of us, we shared the Tsukemen (dipping noodles), Soft Shell Crab Roll, and Popcorn Shrimp. The Popcorn Shrimp was battered with tempura and coated in a gochujang aioli. The gochujang aioli was a bit too much for me since it was a little too salty and since there was so much sauce, if we didn't eat it right away, it became soggy. I think having the aioli on the side instead would've been awesome!The Soft Shell Crab was tasty and had tons of crispy crab that was fried. The roll was gigantic, yet I still found myself wanting more! There was asparagus in the roll, which I wasn't a huge fan of. I did enjoy the unagi sauce drizzled on top of it. Last, the Tsukemen was the star of the show. Their tsukemen comes with tonkotsu broth, ajitama, chashu pork, menma, and of course the noodles you dip the broth into. The tonkotsu broth was super flavorful and rich. It was the perfect pairing for the noodles. The chashu pork was also so tender and tasty. I would consider coming here again, but only if I was nearby since the food is expensive. Although the meal overall was tasty, it wasn't a place I would go out of my way to visit (especially because there is no parking).

Service is on point! The staff is attentive and friendly to interact with. The rice dish was good, your typical salmon and rice bowl. The ramen was not as tasty as I'm used to. I found the broth kinda bland and the noodles could be firmer, especially for $23.

Came here for dinner around 7-8 and the place wasn't too busy on a weeknight - I'd expect it'd be busier closer to game end/start times or weekends in general. The service was all right and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. Water wasn't refilled too attentively though despite the space not being that busy which was a bit disappointing. The ramen and apps were all right - nothing amazing, but not too bad nonetheless. I enjoyed the brussels sprouts and the portion there wasn't bad. The soup for the ramen came out lukewarm which was a little disappointing though and the prices were quite high, however the location explains that as this is right by TD Garden.Overall, I don't think I would be rushing to come back, but I wouldn't mind it if another person wanted to come.

Very Tasty! We ordered the -pork belly bao: very generous thick piece of meat. Presentation was a bit sloppy.. I had to fix it for the photo. -soft shelled crab bao: crispy crab, bit of sourness from the pickle and spicy mayo. -tonkotsu ramen: The broth was so rich and delicious. My only complaint was that the pork belly slice on top was very fatty, 80% fat 20% meat. I would've preferred the regular thick cut of pork belly on top because I felt a bit sick after eating that much fat from the slice. It looked very beautiful but when eating it, was a bit too much. They also added pickled greens to it which I wasn't a huge fan of. -duck fat fries: nothing special but if you pair it with the garlic pepper on the table, definitely elevates it!

I was really impressed with the food here, the sushi rice was the best I've ever tasted and I've eaten a lot of Japanese food. We had roasted brussel sprouts in soy sauce with parmesan cheese, an odd combination that works, soft shell crab bao buns, salmon poke bowl, spicy yellowtail roll --very spicy, and shrimp tempura roll with cucumber and avocado. Everything was fresh and delicious. They also serve ramen and have cocktails. Would definitely return if in the area.

Ona Sunday evening, I decided to try Momosan. Arriving at 530, received seating immediately and elected for a spot at the bar counter rather than a table. My order consisted of chicken karaage ($12) and tsukemen ($17)The tsukemen, as described by the menu, consisted of dipping noodle dish with tonkotsu broth, ajitama (marinated soft boiled egg), chashu pork, and menma. This proved quite disappointing on multiple dimensions.Firstly, the dipping sauce itself has a watery consistency. It was essentially the broth used in tonkotsu ramen, but made slightly saltier. Tsukemen dipping sauce is supposed to be thick enough to coat the noodle. Instead, I had to use a spoon to get some of the "dipping sauce". This defeats the entire raisin d'etre of tsukemen.Secondly, the ingredients arrived with varying temperatures. The bamboo shoots, picked vegetables, and noodles arrived just above refrigerator cold. Why is this a problem? Imagine getting a bowl of ramen where some things are cold. It saps heat from the broth. Imagine a much smaller heat reservoir. Now the tsukemen is not just like a bowl of ramen because of the watery dipping sauce, it's now lukewarm. Even if this dish had some identity crisis with ramen, it should be hot. This is not supposed to resemble cold zaru soba or hiyashi chuka soba.Less egregiously, the ajitamago seemed well-marinated, though whoever cut the egg in half should be fired for mangling cutting an egg. The noodles are chewy at least, looks like they came from sun noodle (a decent supplier). The "chashu" was a sad looking piece of pork belly, unrolled, that looked like leftover supermarket bacon.To summarize, the tsukemen disappointed utterly.However, the karaage fared much better. Described in the menu as Japanese-style fried chicken with spicy garlic soy, it was just that. Piping hot, savory, salty, juicy, and unapologetically garlicky, it proved addictive. The appetizer and entree lie on two extremes - one well executed, the other poorly so. I thought perhaps this place would be the one to carry tsukemen into Boston. Clearly, I thought wrong.
