Momiji

I was looking for a place to eat near my hotel and came across this place. I wish I had read reviews, since this place only offers takeout now, but that didn't stop me after walking in the cold! The nice lady that was distributing orders allowed me to order in person, since I saw a sign that had a number to call for orders, or just order via a delivery app. I ordered the Special Roll Dinner and Vegetable Tempura and miso soups for both entrees. Special Roll DinnerIt consisted of the specialty Dragon, Rainbow, & Dynamite rolls. They were quite good, tasted fresh and needed little to no soy sauce. I especially liked the roll in the middle row (I think it's the Dragon roll)Veggie TempuraI couldn't tell you the exact veggies, but it was broccoli, eggplant, zucchini, sweet potato, taro (?), and some half moon shaped veggie. With the exception of the zucchini and eggplant (they were mushy), they were good! Nice and light, not too oily. Miso soup (came with entrees)I was looking forward to the miso soup since it's cold and wanted something hot. It was pretty bland, I didn't taste much. I enjoyed the food that I ordered, I'd definitely swing by again, especially if they were to open for dine in!

(This review is for takeout only)Decently priced, convenient sushi. Momiji has most of your classics covered, and the portions / sizes are great for either a quick lunch or light dinner. I typically order takeout or delivery from UberEats, and it generally arrives to the Farragut / McPherson area within 15-30 minutes (unless we have an order for over 10 people, in which case it takes about 45). Their menu features all the classic combos, so it's a great pick if you just want a simple, standard meal of sushi and aren't looking for anything too fancy. It's a bit of an odd gripe, but I'm not a huge fan of their sashimi; I'm not sure if they're cutting the pieces a bit too thick / large (a wild complaint, I know) or if it's about the fish itself, but something about their sashimi, especially the fattier / richer pieces like toro, don't sit well with me. However, when the fish is paired with the rice and/or other ingredients, it always hits.

Hands down I think Momiji has it when it comes to a delicious lunch in the Chinatown/City Center area for anyone who works in the area. Since the first time I had food from this restaurant, I have been obsessed! Just about everything I've had has been delicious. Their lunch specials are by far my favorite because for $15 you get a great portion size so that you can eat some now and some for later. Items I've tried that I would highly recommend, - Chicken Hibachi - Steak Hibachi - Shrimp Hibachi .... can you tell I love their hibachi lol. The steak is my fave. - 2 sushi roll lunch special (spicy tuna and shrimp tempura are solid options) - Valentine roll Unfortunately, the restaurant only take to go orders at this time. If you call they will have your order ready in 10-15 minutes typically. The process of picking up is easy and you pay right at the door. I would recommend taking the train or walking to Momiji, especially if you work in this area because parking can be kind of annoying in this area especially if there's a game at Capital One arena. I also noticed another Yelper mentioned that they are on Uber Eats which is amazing. Check it out, I'm sure Momiji will blow you away as well.

Food: 5*Price: 5*Service: 5*Ordered via Uber Eats during a business trip. The food was fresh, well proportioned, and tasty. The chefs choice was a great size for the price. Ample, tasty and delicious. The spicy salmon sushi was also very tasty, a little spicy, but just enough. Really good taste. I would reorder.

This is my absolute favorite take-out sushi spot in the city. The fish is always very fresh and the servings are consistently generous. I haven't tried anything here I don't like! The lunch specials are also wonderful.

Bummed this place is takeout only because their sushi and hibachi are awesome. I only had an issue with my order once when I bit into a sushi roll and there was something hard and black in it. I immediately spit it out, but honestly still went back because again their sushi is generally superb. Last time the yum yum sauce was a bit thin, but they make it from scratch so I'll give them a pass for the consistency. Overall love getting takeout here!

A solid option for well-priced sushi. It's not a standout, in my opinion, but if you want simple sushi delivered, Momiji is the right choice!

This is my go to take out sushi spot. I usually order through Uber Eats, but will do pick up if I'm in the neighborhood. The ingredients are always super solid quality, it's fast, and very consistent. It's also affordable for the quality. My usual order include the Alaska Roll, Valentine roll, and spicy salmon roll, alongside salmon nigiri (and a piece of salmon sashimi for my dog because of course). I've also eaten in at the restaurant and love their back patio in the warmer months. It's also a great spot for bigger parties, as there is room and the menu also includes hibachi favorites to suit even the pickiest of eaters.

I had to order on line because the dining room is currently closed. A little inconvenient but we live in a different time. I ordered three rolls. A Dragon, Santa and Sweetie rolls. Every roll was deliciously prepared. Generous with the ingredients and carefully crafted. I personally like the layers of texture and flavor. 3 rolls were prepared in about 10 minutes. Truly a treat.

So glad Momiji survived the pandemic! They've been delivery only for some time, but still the best, freshest, and most generous sashimi in DC. Just look at this beautiful sashimi platter!
