Shreyasi D.

What an awesome little place. The owners are the ones who make the rolls and bring you the food. They take a lot of pride in the quality and taste of the sushi. It's wonderful to listen to how much they care about sushi and their restaurant. The sushi itself was great--fresh and tasty. I liked the salmon nigiri the best. Tasted like butter. Not much seating inside but there is a park across the street.

Incredible! Very inconspicuous location. The staff are extremely friendly and offered ample recommendations. We opted for the m50, seven treasures, and salmon making rolls. All absolutely fantastic. So fresh. The presentation was impeccable and it's safe to say this is some of the best sushi I've had in LA. I can finally stop searching for a truly amazing place.

Beautifully prepared and thoughtfully garnished.

Quick staycation for a Dodgers game. Found this wonderful sushi spot around the corner. Owner came out and spoke with us and guided us through the menu and spoke to us about living in Arizona. Made us feel comfortable and instantly welcome. Had the Gyoza, which was steaming hot and delicious. Sushi was incredible, fresh and flavorful.

Inside is pretty small with just a few tables but the food was good and had great service since my hot tea kept getting refilled. I tried the Salmon Sashimi ($13) and Vivian Roll ($19) both of which I enjoyed. The benefit of it being a smaller place is that it's very quiet.

The sushi is so fresh! The chefs (owners) are very friendly. Service is prompt and the presentation of the sushi speaks for itself! We had the rainbow roll, dragon roll, and cosmopolitan roll. Each roll was tasty but my favorite was the cosmopolitan roll. It was light and refreshing. Loved it and loved how we were treated!

Small sushi spot in DTLA. They have a pretty big menu with a lot of different rolls -- a lot of them looked kind of sauce heavy so I opted for the nigiri sampler. Came with two pieces each of tuna, butterfish, salmon, and yellowtail. Fish was extremely fresh and service was great.

I have visited this sushi spot several times and I'm always so impressed. They have a few tables for indoor seating, but are more of a takeout type place. You order at the counter and your rolls are made to order quickly and with care. The owner and workers are always so helpful and accommodating, and the fish is so fresh and delicious. Anytime I visit downtown LA, I have to stop here. 10/10!

I never leave reviews, but I had to for this place! The owner and his wife were so kind & welcoming. They even made me little taste testers lol. He was super knowledgeable and passionate about the quality of his sushi, and even explained his pricing and how he keeps customers in mind. Great food, great hospitality . I'll definitely be back!

Salmón wrapped in pickled radish - so gooood!!

I hadn't been a couple months and stopped the day before thanksgiving. The sushi is so delicious and always fresh! Always! The owners/chef are so nice and always so welcoming. It was a bit busy and didn't get to sit at my fav table (in-front of the chef) but I didn't mind. I love that others love and enjoy coming here as well. I wanted to try a new roll and the owner recommended the cosmopolitan roll and it was delicious! Everything here is always so good! If you want a cozy, small, but delicious and fresh fish, this is your place!

With so many five star reviews, I was pretty excited to give this place a try last week when I had a hankering for some sushi. I walked here on a Saturday night and was lucky enough to snag one of the few tables this place had. The menu had many different roll options and even though it was on the smaller side, it had pretty much any sushi roll you could want. This place doesn''t exactly give off "sit down sushi establishment" vibes, instead it looks like a barely decorated coffee shop with a few tables and a counter, though the prices are similar to any other sushi place. We ended up ordering and splitting a few rolls, which I honestly should have written down since I completely forgot which ones she ordered, but they are the two pictured below. The sushi itself tasted solid enough and I have no real issues with it, but they did just take like basic sushi you get from an all you can eat style place and the price just didn't make it seem worth it. Overall, Momi Sushi was a decent sushi spot and a place worth ordering from if you are in the area. The sushi itself was solid enough but the price to atmosphere ratio just didn't hit for me. I would rather walk an extra twenty minutes, pay the same price, and eat at a nicer place in Little Tokyo.

Clearly a local hole-in-the-wall for casual sushi. Nothing fancy, some style with the sashimi order, even more with the rolls, fish was fresh. Staff friendly with customers, especially once you've sat there for a bit. Nothing amazing, more ordinary than anything as far as food goes, but sometimes that's exactly what you need.

Shanina L.

Wow, I didn't expect amazing sushi at DTLA. We went here before an event at Crypto arena, which is nearby. We were able to enjoy our meal along with the friendly service they gave. My favorite was the Spicy Tuna roll and as mentioned in other reviews, this is truly melt in your mouth goodness. For the price, it is worth getting, I find the portions to be larger than usual. Interesting that they do makis-it was nice trying their Salmon maki. The quality of the fish feels fresh and would definitely go back again. Not a lot of seating but there was no wait when I went there.

Escolar (Butterfish)
Olivia R.

just went again because i couldn't stop thinking about the butterfish!! i had my boyfriend try it and he said it's the best sushi he has had, rivaling japan. it's so unique and buttery and delicious. and once again, the kindest owners too, they deserve everyone's business. can't wait to be back!

Unfortunately, when the halibut sashimi came out, both of us immediately noticed a strong, artificial chemical taste (almost like dish soap). We each tried one piece and politely let a server know, who took the plate back. The owner/chef came to our table visibly angry and immediately questioned us with, "What do you mean it smells like soap?" Despite being caught off guard by his hostility, we calmly explained that it tasted strongly chemical to us. Instead of addressing the concern, he raised his voice and argued that another table had been served cuts from the same fish and didn't complain, so it "didn't make sense." He repeatedly asked, "What do you want me to do with this?" while gesturing at the plate, but refused when we suggested he try a piece from our dish. He emphasized that it hurt his pride as a chef and continued yelling at us at our table for several minutes, which made us extremely uncomfortable. We explained that we had enjoyed the other dishes and would never have sent food back if the issue was minor. We also told him that we're willing to pay for all the other food we enjoyed, but the interaction ended with him angrily telling us to "just pay for the sake and leave." In all my years of dining out, I have never sent food back lightly, and I have never experienced a chef yelling at customers over politely expressing a concern. What could have been a good experience was completely overshadowed by unprofessional and hostile service. Would not return. 해삼전복멍게 포함 스키다시 반찬들은 전반적으로 신선하고 괜찮았어요. 그런데 메인으로 나온 광어회에서 비누/세재같은 맛이 나더라구요. 도저히 삼킬 수 없을 정도로 강한 냄새가 뱉은 다음에도 입 안에 남아있을 정도였어요. 각자 한 점만 먹은 후 서버에게 조심스럽게 말씀드렸고 서버분이 접시를 다시 가져가셨습니다. 이후 사장님/메인셰프님이 직접 오셨는데, 문제를 확인하기보다는 처음부터 화가 난 태도로 "비누 냄새가 난다는 게 무슨 말이냐"며 큰 소리로 따지셨습니다. 같은 생선으로 나간 다른 테이블은 문제가 없었다는 말을 반복하시며 이해할 수 없다고 하셨고, 저희가 직접 한 점 드셔보시라고 했지만 거절하셨습니다. 문제의 원인을 확인하려는 태도보다는 셰프로서의 자존심이 상했다는 점을 강조하셨고, 테이블 옆에서 몇 분간 목소리를 높이며 "이거 어떻게하라는거냐"며 따지셔서 굉장히 불편했습니다. 다른 음식은 다 맛있었고 먹은 음식 값을 내겠다, 그런데 냄새가 나는 회는 먹을 수가 없어 돌려보낸거다 라고 정중하게 말씀드렸지만 결국 "사케 값만 계산하고 가라"면서 역정을 내시더군요. 이런 경험은 처음이라 매우 당황스럽고 황당했네요. 맛의 문제를 떠나 손님 응대 방식이 많이 아쉬웠습니다. 재방문 의사 없습니다.

The cheese katsu was their signature and oh boy, you could see from the pic how serious the cheese game went. They're also way bigger than I thought!! Went very well with the salad, wakame, and soup.

Service was attentive, friendly and quick, maybe because they weren't too busy at 3pm on Sunday. We were seated in a booth and the lighting was low and felt slightly clandestine, which we both liked. This would be great for a business meeting or after work drinks and starters. They validate parking for 2 hours and the 2nd floor location was easy to find.

We arrived before the restaurant got full at 6 pm and even still, the place was half full, so the servers had their hands full with customers. Our group of three didn't want to be food comatose during the concert, so we split the gyudon ($16.99) and two orders of the chirashi ($25.99 each). Plus, each of us didn't want to choose between the two ourselves, so sharing it amongst us worked out well. It was a good idea because both items hit the spot. The meat in the gyudon was tender and the rice was fragrant. The fish included in the chirashi bowl was pretty fresh. We each got a drink as well (refillable soda at $4) for our caffeine fix. There may be some street parking you can find to dine.
