Momokawa

Momokawa was interesting. The dishes we tried tasted good, and the ingredients were fresh. I'm not sure the price point matches the experience overall, but to be fair, we went during lunch, so maybe it was a little more low key than a proper dinner.The Beef Sukiyaki Don was great, with lots of juicy slices of meat and a well-cooked egg topping a hearty bowl of rice.The Chirashi was nice, with fresh sashimi over some lightly-seasoned rice. The lunch special also came with udon, which can be served hot or cold. The udon were a nice consistency, and the broth tasted delicious, if not a bit too salty.One note -- the bathrooms here are a little gross. Again, for a fine dining price point, I'd expect a little better.But overall, a solid, slightly expensive option for good Japanese!

Oh man this place was SO GOOD! The Miyazaki beef (above the wagyu) was the most tender beef we've ever eaten...and dipped in the raw egg was just pure perfection! Our waiter cooked and served our first couple of slices of the beef for us and then we were on our own the rest of the meal, but we were well taken care of. The size and spacing of the tables is a bit tight, but they do offer storage bins below your chair to save on space for coats/purses. Highly recommend this for an upscale dinner!!

Food was good, atmosphere is good. You can store your jackets/ tote bag in a basket that's underneath your chair.

Momokawa is a great upscale Japanese restaurant. The decoration is elegant and beautiful, there are some art pieces in the walls for sell. The service is good, some of the servers are very nice although others are a bit impatient. They made a small mess with the bill but ended up being all correct. I had a YUZU COCKTAIL which tasted good, pretty much like a yuzu juice, almost no alcohol. For three people, we started with JELLY FISH GHD (Amazing, its crispy and comes with a vinager sesame sauce with cucumber and shittake), ORGANIC AGEDASHI TOFU (comes in a delicious soy sauce and was really tasty, soft and juicy inside), ASSORTED SASHIMI (7 kinds of fish - scallops are hidden in the picture - It was really fresh and good quality), KAMO REISI (Breast duck with orange), DASHIMAKI TAMAGO (I could have skipped this one), BEEF SUKIYAKI DON with WAGYU (really tasty wagyu, soft boiled egg and some veggies over rice), EEL AVOCADO ROLL (a well done classic), TERIYAKI CHICKEN (chicken was good, served with some "bit hard" green beens and brocoli). I had the HOT ZENZAI for dessert but it was not really my thing, like a sweet bean soup.Although everything was quite good, I will definetely recommend trying the JELLY FISH, the AGEDASHI TOFU, and the BEEF SUKIYAKI. Everything was really fresh, the wasabi was high quality, and the sashimi and some other dishes come with miso soup and green salad.ESPAÑOL:Momokawa es un buen restaurante japonés exclusivo. La decoración es elegante y buena, hay algunas obras de arte en las paredes para vender. El servicio es bueno, algunos de los camareros son muy amables aunque otros son un poco impacientes. Hicieron un pequeño lío con la factura pero al final todo estaba correcto.Probé un CÓCTEL DE YUZU que sabía bien, aunque más bien como un zumo de yuzu, casi sin alcohol. Para tres personas, comenzamos con JELLY FISH GHD (Increíble, crujiente y viene con una salsa de vinagre de sésamo con pepino y setas shittake), TOFU AGEDASHI ORGÁNICO (viene en una salsa deliciosa y estaba muy sabroso, suave y jugoso por dentro), SURTIDO DE SASHIMI (7 tipos de pescado- las vieiras están escondidas en la imagen - Pescado muy fresco y de buena calidad), KAMO REISI (Pechuga de pato con naranja), DASHIMAKI TAMAGO (podría haberme saltado este), SUKIYAKI con WAGYU (wagyu muy sabroso, huevo blando cocido y algunas verduras sobre arroz), ROLLO DE ANGUILA Y AGUACATE (un clásico bien hecho), POLLO TERIYAKI (el pollo estaba bueno, servido con unas judías verdes "un poco duras" y brócoli). Tomé el ZENZAI caliente de postre pero no era mucho de mi gusto, como una sopa de alubias dulce.Aunque todo estaba bastante rico, yo definitivamente recomendaría probar la JELLY FISH, el AGEDASHI TOFU y el BEEF SUKIYAKI.Todo estaba muy fresco, el wasabi era de alta calidad y el sashimi y algunos otros platos vienen con sopa de miso y ensalada verde.

momokawa is an awesome upscale Japanese Restaurant. One of the best dishes you should try is their Sukiyaki, it was literally the best sukiyaki we had.Sukiyaki is essentially a hotpot but with a soy sauce based broth, it comes with assorted veggie and tofu.It is a great combo pair with the outstandingA5 MIYAZAKI RIB EYE. The beef is so tender in texture and has a buttery mouth feel. Dip into an organic egg for extra richness.The entire experience was fantastic with an excellent service.Featured MIYAZAKI BEEF for 2 Dashimaki Tamago Kani Su  Black COD

From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted by exceptionally good service. The staff were attentive, constantly ensuring our water glasses were filled and providing insightful recommendations.The ambiance inside was lovely, making it a perfect spot for a cozy meal. However, the space did feel a bit tight, and we often got bumped into by wait staff or other patrons.The food was a highlight. The salmon was cooked to perfection, and the sukiyaki was absolutely delicious. Our server took the time to explain one of the dishes we ordered after it arrived, noting it was an acquired taste, and kindly removed it from our bill after we asked about the odd taste.We also enjoyed the fire squid and a delectable crab dish, but the standout dessert was the matcha ice cream--it was incredibly good and a perfect end to the meal.While the interior was inviting, the exterior of the restaurant was a bit hidden away, making it hard to spot, especially in the evening. I will admit it is on the pricier side but it's definitely a good treat.

Traditional sukiyaki in UES. Made a reservation for 2 for a Friday evening at 5pm - arrived and were seated immediately.We opted for the US Prime Beef Rib-eye sukiyaki for two, along with black cod miso and steak gozen (wagyu). Sukiyaki was good, cooked table-side with napa cabbage, mushrooms, and ramen noodles. Some tables have built-in stoves, while we had a portable induction stove. Once cooked, dip the various items in egg yolk for that extra richness. The flavors were simple but quality of ingredients was forthright. Black cod miso was good, and wagyu steak was tender, more necessary to supplement the meal in terms of quantity.Overall, very good quality sukiyaki, above average non-sukiyaki dishes, but pricey in terms of quantity.

Had a dinner at Momokawa last night. For two of us, we had sukiyaki for 2 with an extra wagyu beef on top of US prime. This case we can enjoy difference of two different kind of beef to compare side by side. I wont write about the difference but both are different and both are good. With assorted veggies and tofu it makes great combination and this sauce taste exactly how it should. We even ordered extra veggies. There are many different many way to prepare sukiyaki in Japan but chef Mie prepared it just Tokyo way. We had two kinds of sake from Kubota and I think these sakes also are great match for sukiyaki and any Japanese dishes. With the servers close attention, our dinner experience last night was such great here in Momokawa. I now need to comeback for Shabu Shabu dinner that is another fall and winter delicacy. I really recommend their sukiyaki dinner everyone.

If you're looking for a feast that won't weigh you down, this is the place!The yellowtail is fresh and sashimi grade. You can eat them raw but they're so good slightly cook in the light dashi too. We ordered a side of wagyu on top and the meat was gloriously marbled but the broth still kept clear and drinkable. Make porridge with the soup at the end and I can't think of a more perfect meal. A perfect cool weather treat

Ordered and picked up the Sukiyaki for Two. To start off, everything is packaged very well - the prime rib was cut thin, laid on an aluminum pan, and was covered in a bag of ice to keep cold. A take-out container full of all the vegetables were well-packaged and plentiful. Eggs were plastic wrapped in a carton, soup base was packaged in a plastic container, and my choice of udon (or rice) was cooked and placed in a paper container. There were no instructions but it was very straight forward. End result was a delicious and plentiful pot of goodness that paired perfectly with the weather. Next time, will definitely eat in and enjoy this goodness in person at the resturant.
