Crispy rice
Medha T.

So glad this place opened on the Eastside! I've been here three times already, and each visit has been consistently great. The complimentary edamame was such a nice touch and absolutely delicious. The service also stood out -- the servers were attentive, friendly, and checked in frequently throughout the meal without being overbearing. The food itself was fresh, flavorful, and really well-prepared. Everything we ordered tasted great. Overall, I've really enjoyed every experience here and will definitely keep coming back.

Chardonnay, NA prosecco and Don't Lychee to Me

Service was great. Waiters were on point with removing dishes, refilling water and asking if we wanted more cocktails when they noticed we were almost finished. Raw bar items were amazing, sushi rolls were great too. The ambience of the restaurant was nice, lighting structure and noise wasn't bad. Upon being seated I thought the tables seemed to be too close to each other, however after everything was settled and we were eating it wasn't a disturbance at all.

Mini tacos at Momiji

Met family at Momiji for sushi etc. tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Excellent service and tasteful surroundings of understated elegance were definite pluses, and delicious yellowtail sushi, with seafood rolls of various types were presented in lovely fashion. We recommend Momiji for an upscale evening to enjoy excellent Japanese cuisine.

Crispy Calamari ($9 HH)
Courtney L.

I've found a new favorite in Redmond! Given Momiji's selection of specialty rolls and their wide happy hour menu, there's no doubt I'll be a repeat customer. Three of us came in on a Thursday at 4:30P. We had booked a reservation, but the restaurant was quiet at that time, so we probably would have been fine without it. The hostess pointed out the QR code for viewing the menu, but also asked if we'd like paper copies, which we opted for. It's way easier to read a physical menu and I appreciate that they had them available! Our waiter came by shortly after with complimentary edamame and filled our waters while we decided what to order. Note: Regarding the happy hour menu, our waiter confirmed that the hot food items from the "Kitchen" section are about 40% smaller compared to if we ordered them from the regular menu. The size of the rolls is not altered. + RTC ROLL ($22): Snow crab mix, avocado & cucumber topped w/ seared salmon, scallions, tobiko, sweet aioli, sweet chili & soy glaze. I love seared salmon, but between both the sweet chili and aioli, it was too sweet for my liking. This roll is on the saucier side whereas I wish the flavor of the seared salmon could have shined more. + MR. PERFECT ($22): Spicy tuna, cucumber, yamagobo & cilantro topped w/ 7-spice seared albacore, scallions & garlic ponzu. This one brought some serious heat! The tuna tasted super fresh, and I detected a mild bite from the cilantro which is generally a unique sushi ingredient. The scallions added a refreshing element as well. It was my favorite item of the night! + GRILLED GARLIC SHORT RIBS ($13 HH): Six kalbi short ribs were marinated in a garlic-soy sauce and topped with green onion. They were tender and had the perfect charred flavor. Any flavor of garlic was quite subtle and the sauce tasted to me like sweet soy, but it was delicious nonetheless. + CRISPY CALAMARI ($9 HH): The calamari was hot and crispy with a light batter. A dip in the green curry aioli added umami and a bit of tang. It also came with a small side of greens tossed in a sweet aioli. I could have eaten the whole thing myself! We also ordered a Spider Roll ($10 HH), California Roll ($9 HH) and Shrimp Tempura Roll ($9 HH). The California Roll actually contained real snow crab, not the imitation filling that I assumed. Across the board, all the rolls we ordered had a pretty thin layer of rice and generous amount of filling. They are worth the value. Service was exceptional. In addition to a warm welcome, we were checked on consistently. One waiter kept our waters topped off (I don't think they ever even reached half-empty!) and picked up our plates as we finished them. Our short ribs and calamari were served first as appetizers, so our main waiter offered us new plates before all of our sushi came out. Talk about perfect timing! I enjoyed the elevated casual ambience of the restaurant and the tables in the main dining area have adequate spacing between them, making it comfortable overall. The lighting was on the dimmer side, except for just a small lamp on the table. Can't wait for my next visit!

Veggie roll
Shantala A.

Stopped by Momiji for a quick happy hour today and had a great experience. The space is inviting, with both a lively bar area and comfortable seating. The complimentary edamame was a nice touch to start. We ordered the Redmond Breeze and a beer, along with a veggie roll and veggie tempura. Everything came out super quickly and tasted fresh and delicious. The happy hour pricing is definitely a great deal, and parking was very convenient. It would be even better to see more vegetarian roll options on the happy hour menu, but overall, a solid spot for a quick and satisfying bite!

Chirashi Bowl
Jacques I.

So glad Momiji has made a home on the eastside, making it easier for me to check out this spot since I rarely go to Seattle these days. It's a win for us, eastsiders. This location is specifically in downtown Redmond, right next to the 2 Line, making it accessible without a car. But there is plenty of street parking around and is walking distance to Redmond Town Center. We visited Momiji for dinner on a Saturday night and the place was pretty busy. I love the vibe here, with a modern, sleek aesthetic in a new building, reminding me of its Capitol Hill location. It makes for a great date spot, with a separate, bright bar near the entrance and dim lighting in the dining area. My partner and I ordered the black cod miso entrée and the chirashi bowl. Everything was delicious, but the black cod miso plate was fantastic. The cod was perfectly cooked and I absolutely loved the chanterelle mushrooms that it came with in the miso sauce. Chirashi bowl was solid with thick cuts of raw fish. I would love to come back and explore more of the menu.

Sashimi omakase ($60)
Ellen C.

Thanks to the Yelp reviews, I parked at the parking lot that was attached to the restaurant. It's two hour validation at the front desk where you input your car license plate so don't forget to take a picture. I made reservations on open table on a weekday, same day. Restaurant was kind of empty but good vibes. My friend and I both got the $60 omakase. I got the sushi whereas she ordered sashimi. Food came out pretty quick. Good presentation, good sushi. Edamame was given as a free appetizer which was nice. Service was attentive, though too attentive in filling our waters. I probably take one sip and then my water is filled. It was a bit distracting even though I'm sure they did their best in being invisible, but I can see them coming. I would recommend not so many times to come around filling our water. After dinner, stop by salt and straw and they offer the same two hour validation at the parking structure. Can stay for awhile and browse the area.

One of my favorite places to get sushi in Seattle! Glad they have a location here, the sushi was so fresh. The place is beautiful, the service is great, I highly recommend and would come back!

Great sushi spot for groups, solo, even kids. There's a separate section where no minors are allowed. Lots of options and food comes out quickly. Our server was so considerate telling us to order the happy hr price for sushi. Now it's good to know happy hr time and menu. Seating inside is spacious and tables are separated comfortably. Location is ideal next to the light rail station.

Tablet for parking

Came for Happy hour 4-6pm with 5 adults and 1 toddler and was very happy with the price to food ratio! Best deals are Agedashi Tofu and Soba Salad Momiji is such a classic Seattle Japanese restaurant. It's been around forever. I am very happy it's now on the Eastside! Parking is complementary (maybe for 2 hours?) after signing into tablet at counter The calamari I wished was more fried (less soggy) but the portions were good.

Shrimp Tempura Udon
Marcia J.

I was excited to see Momiji in Redmond pop up on Redmond Way. The atmosphere is genuinely lovely, modern, warm, and inviting. The restaurant is divided into two sections, a lively bar area and the main dining space. The bar itself looks great and is well stocked, and they offer a nice happy hour, which is always appreciated. A couple of things stood out immediately though. The flooring in the bar section was exceptionally slippery with the shoes I was wearing, a very popular brand, nothing unusual. I have had a severe ankle injury before, and I was honestly nervous walking across the floor. While staff might be accustomed to wearing shoes with more grip, customers will not necessarily know this ahead of time. It is something I would really encourage the owner to take a look at. For food, I was in the mood for tempura udon. The presentation was beautiful, and the tempura came with a few vegetables and two shrimp, which were nicely fried. However, I found the broth disappointing. It was not dashi forward and had a lot going on, including spinach, bok choy, and other greens that felt a bit unnecessary for this dish. After living in Japan, I have come to appreciate a clean, well balanced dashi broth that complements the tempura without overpowering it. The greens introduced that slightly astringent feeling spinach can leave on your teeth, which took away from the overall flavor. I also could not really detect much dashi, and I am not sure if soy was used, but the broth did not land for me. It may simply be their style, but it did not feel traditional, and I probably would not order it again. I also tried a salad that was described as having a ginger dressing, but the ginger flavor was very faint. Overall, I really want to love this place. The vibe is great, and there is a lot of potential. I will definitely come back to try other menu items, but I hope the udon broth and the slippery flooring are things the restaurant considers refining. The service was great and the ambiance felt nice and warm. I would definitely return, but not to order the udon.

Stunning. Was staying in the area with a friend and we had heard of their other location so we were excited to see they had a spot in Redmond! Table for 2 around 7pm without a reservation was no issues. They give you a nice plate of edamame to start which was awesome!! No drinks for us that evening but obviously had to get some crispy tuna rice and these were massive!!! Super delicious. For the main we shared 3 rolls and had about half a roll leftover which was still delicious the next day. Stunning food!

Ribs HH

A Momiji in my neck of the woods??? Oooohhhhh I'm here for it! My wife and I took in a late night date here. And I gotta tell you, it did not disappoint. We got all of the recommendations from the yelp profile. We were absolutely happy with everything we got. From the sashimi to the ribs and rolls, drink. It was fire. Will definitely be coming back!

So much so , that we planned our evening for our group around starting here for a couple hours for drinks ...

It's at the corner of one of the buildings. Dark, mid sized interior with some cool neon lights and light up marble pattern bar counter. Not very busy when I went at happy hour/dinner time on a Friday night, but the place is busier later at night on Friday/Saturday during the warmer months. Sometimes they have events and DJs. Sat at the bar and tried out some happy hour specials. Got the Korean sauce wings ($12) and cheese truffle fries ($8). Decent amount of fries, definitely has cheese flavor but not that much truffle oil aroma. I liked the wings which you get 6 per order. They weren't fried, but rather tender and juicy. Sauce was agreeable. Definitely enough food for my dinner. As for the drinks, I got the rosemary mule which is Moscow mule with some rosemary herb. The copper mug they use is good sized. Tasted refreshing although could feel the alcohol afterwards. Also tried a corpse reviver no. 2, which was a little sweet but has a punch. Cocktail prices are not cheap outside of happy hour, in the upper teens. Overall, was glad I tried the place out. Will drop by for happy hour once in a while.

Made it for Happy Hour- Went with the shrimp and fish tacos- great presentation but the shrimp and fish were over cooked.. The romaine salad was really good! Grande nachos added the carnitas for $3.50 Huge nachos and plenty of carnitas.. ( took the carnitas and replaced the shrimp and fish).. perfect tacos.. Service was good. Place is busy!

I guess since it was so empty, everyone was on a little break, so getting a table was a little slow, but afterwards, service was great. I had no idea it was national taco day? And matador had a little competition w other matadors? Really fun concept, so I ordered the specialty huli huli steak taco. Tacos themselves are super hefty. Lots of juicy tender steak pieces, refreshing toppings, and fun nutty roasted macadamia nuts that brought the dish together really well. I'm a little sad this is just a limited time thing because that was super yummy! Rice and beans were good as well, was spiced well which I enjoyed. Free chips and salsa ofc was solid as well! Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by this place. Happy hour is definitely worth (4-6pm everyday!!) and I hope they do more chef made specialty tacos!
