The place is small but still has seating. I ordered the tuna roll and it was good. A little pricey but a nice portion. They have a variety of items on the menu. The staff was nice and the food came up quick

3 Rolls Maki Lunch Special
Loanne N.

Did take out here during my lunch break and was presently surprised at the quality and price for the food. I did the 3 maki roll special which came with miso soup and salad and came out to around $17 which is super reasonable. Usually with take out sushi sometimes the quality is iffy, but this meal was better than expected. There was ample fish and tasted pretty fresh. I got the salmon avocado, the yellowtail jalapeño and the shrimp tempura roll. All were great. During lunch when I walked in it didn't look like anyone was seated inside, but would definitely do take out here again.

Spicy Girl and Milky Way sushi rolls
Angela L.

FOOD/DRINK: 1.) Milky Way = spicy salmon crunch roll topped with salmon, white fish, tuna, yellowtail. Yum! Their sushi is so good, soft, fresh .... Mm this roll was just what I wanted, slightly spicy bc crunchy with yummy sashimi on top 2.) Spicy Girl = haha my pal ordered this but it was good too except I didn't want the spiciness so I took off the red dab of hot sauce on top. Even their wasabi was the real kind, that helps clears your nasal passageways. Great wasabi rush They have wine and beer, and sake. I can appreciate that for next time if I feel like drinking. SERVICE: So nice and they refilled our tea so much and checked in on us. Great super. ATMOSPHERE: Pretty small, pretty basic, not much of a vibe but based on the food alone I would totally come back. And because it's conveniently in my favorite neighborhood so ya. I'm pretty sure they were the same who delivered sushi to me this one time late and it was also amazingly good. Anyway I'm a fan.

Chirashi Lunch Special !!
Life W.

Quality was very good, great service! The fish slices were perfect size and not too thin which is something most places lack in. Fish was fresh and didn't taste frozen. Only $18! *Extra charge for eel sauce and spicy mayo* wasn't aware but was expected. Would definitely come back after work again

Two words: food poisoning. Looks like a dump, food equally as bad. I shared three rolls, none of them tested rotten but within two hours I knew I was doomed. Avoid.

This sushi place is seriously the bomb dot com. The fish is so fresh and creamy. Udon was very flavorful and the meat was so soft. It wasn't too salty or heavy and they give you a huge portion. I couldn't finish it. The rolls were soooo good. Other places give you a lot of rice in your rolls to try to cheap out but not this place. I got the salmon avocado roll and the amount of rice was perfect, big pieces of fish, and big pieces of avocado. So worth it!! I got the salmon wrapped crab and it came with a yuzu wasabi salad that was really delicious too! There were also some golden kiwis included which were really sweet and paired well with the dish nicely. Edamame is always good, these were seasoned well and stayed hot for a while. And I would definitely recommend the shrimp! That and the salmon rolls were my favorite.

Miso Soup

Delicious food + cozy vibe in the west village. Service is attentive; old-school cool. Sit near the window for great views of the city going by. Bring a magazine from Casa, dine solo or bring a date. This is a great spot!

Salmon and yellowtail don

Sushi was fresh and service was good. Sushi rice was especially tasty. I found it a bit overpriced compared to same quality and restaurant decor that is Uptown but all restaurant prices have gone up.

3 Rolls Maki Lunch Special

Decent sushi! I ordered takeout and got the 3 maki lunch special which comes with miso soup and a salad. Considering the price, I thought everything was very reasonable. Was it the best sushi I've ever had? No. But it got the job done! Rating: 3.5 Stars

My stepmom lives in the west village and when her, my dad and I get dinner and catch up, this is our go to sushi place. It's not very large for dining in but we always get a table even though it's never empty. My stepmom always gets sashimi, I always get sushi - Kawa roll and snow crab roll are my regulars - and my dad gets both. The fish is fresh, the rolls are nicely sized and quite affordable and most importantly- delicious!! The servers are so sweet and attentive. It's perfect - a consistent, low key, local sushi spot. Their delivery and take out are also commendable!

Tom A.

Even though our server literally like came to snatch the receipt as soon as we signed it; with an attitude I might add. And we left a good tip. Our Food was really yummy, and I was hungry so that's what was important to me. Pic attached Just FYI: the server is a young tall dude.

Staple in my roll.

I had been to Momoya on the Upper West Side before, but this was my first visit to the Chelsea…read morelocation. The atmosphere here was a bit more lively and crowded compared to the more relaxed vibe of the UWS spot. I enjoyed my meal even more this time around. I started with the beet salad, which was delicious and offered great value given the generous portion size. it featured sliced beets, arugula, goat cheese, and walnuts. I also had my eye on the hijiki soybean salad--which is a bit smaller and reportedly homemade--so I may try that next time, along with the warm mushroom salad which looked very tasty. The edamame was standard but served as a nice starter. For my main rolls, I chose the salmon avocado and the yellowtail scallion. Both were very fresh and definitely worth ordering again. The salmon avocado roll had a nice touch of sesame seeds on the rice, while the yellowtail scallion was prepared with the seaweed on the outside. My boyfriend's sushi entree looked excellent, so I am considering that or the sushi-sashimi combo for my next visit. The entrees provide a substantial amount of food, and I especially appreciate that they allow you to choose which roll comes with your meal.

They are always respectable, listen to your needs, help you find whatever you need. 10 out of 10 best food in the neighborhood. I always come here for the sea urchin and salmon roe/caviar - and it has yet to be beat. It's so good! One of my neighborhood favorites, I come here so often just for the combination of service, quality, and taste. My servers are usually Denise and Toshi and they are always on top of their game. I love it here! Will definitely keep coming back, just for their (excellent) service alone. Highly recommend.

They share a takeout menu and it's super easy to order--text what you want to the phone number on the website and pickup in ~20 minutes :). You pay on a handheld and they don't ask for tip for takeout. I love this process and truly wish more sushi restaurants in LA adopt the takeout box. The only one I know of is hefty but also $200 each lol, making Sanyuu's $69 omakase and $78 Everything don, not to mention the $30 giant salmon nigiri set, A STEAL! I enjoyed most of the pieces but I will say I don't like their amaebi or uni at all. I'm not sure what kind of uni is used here but it's the type with a very strong mineral flavor & aftertaste that I don't find enjoyable. We're spoiled by easy access to live spot prawns everywhere and fresh SB uni. Despite this, I wouldn't hesitate to come back if I lived in the city.

The slices aren't thin, delicate, and melt-in-your-mouth as one usually gets in a sit down; they are extra thick, and I had to really bite down on some of the pieces. The rice was nicely seasoned and was cooked well + portions are also big to match those thiccccc salmon slices. To be honest, I was getting a little nauseated after 5 pieces, haha~ They were definitely delicious but I'd probably just eat 3 or 4 pieces and share with a friend! It was easy to text the number on the website and coordinate a pickup time, and the staff was friendly when I arrived. The restaurant is a little hard to find as the windows are blinded and the sign is a piece of paper on the door.

The creamy kimchi udon was ok. It didn't feel like one dish, but tasted good. The una don was great. Good sauce and blend of supporting veggies to enhance the taste. Service was super quick. Everything was rapid fire: order taken, food comes out quick, water gets replinished before asking, plates are taken the moment they are finished, and check comes immediately after asking for it. Interior was cramped and loud. Really fitting as many tables as they can in the space. I saw others mentioning to make reservations. I went without one and got lucky. There was a table opening 30 minutes out. Would recommend having one, but you can definitely try walking in. First come first serve basis Overall, solid spot for great tasting food. Great for smaller parties of 2, but expect it to be tight with spacing
