The portions were very generous and they gave me lots of sauces. The teriyaki chicken was really good. The rest lacked a little. The presentation of everything was very organized and I really appreciated that. read more

There are several Momiji and the one on liberty is the best one. The prices are great and the service is too. We are members of the club and we get points when we order. The points translate into discounts ! read more

Been here about 6-7 times so far the past few months. Have always had a good experience. Always fresh, tasty and good service. We've dined in mostly but did takeout last evening. Lot's of different choices on their menu. There's always been ample parking spaces (there's other dining establishments that share their lot) so that's another added plus to dining here. I'd noticed while dining that they do a lot of takeout orders so we finally tried that and it was excellent. Food was ready quickly, good portion sizes, ample wasabi, ginger and condiments. We live close by so this has become our go to place for sushi since moving to Salem a few months ago. Have tried others but we feel this is our best choice based quality of food, variety, cost and overall experience. read more

Not a bad spot for some sushi. What I ordered seemed to be hit or Miss and I wasn't blown away by anything. The sushi is fairly bland and my appetizer was quite lack luster. While nothing negative happened during my experience and the staff was very friendly and helpful, I'm giving a slightly lower rating due to the food being disappointing overall. To start, I order a seared tuna appetizer and it was underwhelming. The flavor of the sear was way overpowering and there were no other flavors to help carry this dish across the finish line. There was some sort of wet sauce or broth on the bottom which was bland and flavorless, making the dish confusing because it made the fried noodles underneath soggy. After this, I dove into the nigiri. The regular salmon and yellowtail were good, but the smoked salmon had an interesting texture and lacked a real smoke flavor which was disappointing. I can't say I'd recommend this place, but the prices aren't too bad so I might give it another shot if I'm in town again. While nothing negative happened during my visit, the food just wasn't worthy of five stars. read more

My boys brought me here to the NW Salem location for my birthday lunch. Such delicious sushi and customer service. It was so hard to choose where to start. We had the jalapeño roll, islander, Valentine Roll, and something else (aging mind can't remember). Everything was delicious. They have lunch combos that come with a cucumber salad and miso soup. The service was great and it was nice and quiet. The Valentine roll and Jalapeño were my favorite. Great flavors, everything was fresh and colorful! read more

Oh my, what a brief visit! We entered and spoke to the host, asking where we placed a walk-in to-go order, looking at our phones and a newspaper flyer that had arrived in the mail that day. The host snarkily replied that it wasn't the same Momiji ("See? The logo is different..!")(no, honestly I still didn't see it). And just as quickly as my husband and I entered, we exited. And went to the Momiji on 23rd St SE where we were warmly greeted, placed our orders, and got our food. Bad attitude = I won't be back Thanks to the crew at the Momiji on 23rd though! :) read more

Awful customer service, I called them to check on our order when the employee who had answered the phone told me they were too busy and hung up before I could get a word out, I called again and the same thing happened. I called one last time because I needed to find out where my food was and she answered the phone saying "I've told you this 3 times now, we are fucking closed!" Absolutely unacceptable, I understand the stress she may have been experiencing, I'm a really understanding person and would've given her extra grace but I felt really disrespected. read more

Giving 5 stars because my dad works here and the sushi here is bomb. And to the lady that said the staff was disrespectful because they came in 1 hour before it closed, that is on YOU. You should already know it's disrespectful to come 1 hour late to a whole DAMN restaurant, mind you RESTAURANT it's not fast food. So don't be mad that the waiters are gonna be in a bad mood because YOU decided to come in 1 hour late. SMH read more

We had delicious food. The servers were very nice. Not fancy but good food. Very reasonably priced.

we tried to order from door dash but there was confusion about the order, after waiting for an hour we called 3 separate times and each time they yelled they were closed and hung up before we could speak and on the 3rd time they said "I have told you many times now, we are fucking closed" and hung up. read more

We always go to Momiji's on Commercial Street at least twice while we are in Salem. No matter what we order, it's always good. My favorites are the lobster roll, avocado boat (pay extra for the real crab), agedashi tofu, salt and pepper squid, tiger roll and the sesame balls. I would definitely return to this restaurant when I'm in Salem again. read more

The food is good and the staff is friendly and efficient. Both dining in and the take out service are great. I highly recommend Momiji.

Lunch bento prices are excellent. The chicken was dry, though. Needed more teriyaki sauce on it. The rice on the roll is packed too tight. The chicken bowl is also a good value, but again, chicken was dry. Atmosphere was lovely. read more

My wife and I were on a rare date and looked for a dinner option before heading to theate. I'm sorry to say this was not the start to our evening I'd hoped for. we were seated right away, but waited about 10 minutes for water to come out. The server who brought it said she'd be back in "just a moment" to get our order. We waited at least 10 minutes for her return. I'm the meantime i saw her at the tables on either side of us, packing food orders to go, attending to folks walking in the restauranot but not us. I flagged another server and asked if we could place our order, which included tea as a beverage. Another 10-minute wait and no contact. at this point we'd been in the restaurant 20 minutes and had water and an order placed. I got up and spoke to a woman who looked like the manager and told her I didn't think our table had been assigned, as I'd seen the retry much all the other tables get attention. she asked what she could bring and I said the tea would be a great start. About 3 minutes later tea arrived, accompanied by the soup and cucumber salad that came with our bento boxes, as well as bowls of rice. Then, literally two minutes later our bento boxes came....so, all the food at once, plus stuff we didn't order. The food was "fine"--the teriyaki chicken wa pretty lukewarm in temperature although my wife said she really found it tasty. She thought the avocado roll tasted a little "soapy", although I liked mine. We were dressed quite nicely for an evening out and it was just disappointing to feel so ignored by the staff, who seemed to have other priorities than taking care of us. The price of the meal was total fair for the amount of food we got. It would have been nice to have had a little more service since we made the choice to eat out. read more

Nice decor, clean and spacious. Cucumber salad was awful. Served room temperature, soggy limp cucumbers in a flavorless sauce. Agadashi tofu sauce terrible lacking in flavor. The dish was missing green onions and Bonito flakes. The sushi rolls were the best thing we had but just average at best. The chicken teriyaki bowl was gross! Deep fried chicken with thin sauce. The waitress said it was pan fried but we think not. Either way it was not good. The waitress removed the teriyaki from the bill so that was nice customer serves on her part. After all she's not making the food. The Momiji on Silverton Road is way better. read more

Ambiance is open and mediocre, but that could be overcome with good service, but the service sucks! The male server was too busy spending time at the center table working on to go orders to provide any kind of decent service! We sat for 20 minutes waiting for our saki while he seemed to deliberately not make eye contact because he was to busy packing paper sacks with to go orders.... I would not recommend this place if you want decent service! The food.... Mediocre! Not terrible, but bad service made it worse. read more

I was really looking forward to eating here. I had take-out so I couldn't bring it to their attention and this is the best I could do. There was a very weird smell in my food. I had a hard time tracing it because it was very strong on everything but I'm pretty sure the smell was coming from the ginger. It smelled like it was soaked in Pine-Sol. That was weird. I figure it's the smell the pickled ginger gets when it's rancid. It made me question EVERYTHING I ordered. Sushi is a food that needs to be fresh, not outdated. I didn't want to spend the afternoon throwing up. The smell was horrible and it permeated everything. That was NOT a good sign. So that was $25 in the garbage. I'll never go back. Not on a dare. read more

We enjoy this location of Momiji very much and eat there (take out) at least once a month! The rolls are always fresh, the service is great and we recommend them! One note about the information on this Yelp page, the menu listed is *not* for this location, so make sure that you are looking at the proper menu for S Commercial! read more

what an excellent surprise to find Momiji in salem on our way home from the coast highway drive from california. who would have thunk? the wait staff were cheerful, informed and helpe guide us towards the best values for lunch. the lunch crowd were regulars and lunch was busy. the food was a higher level than i would have expected, even better than some of the restaurants in north of seattle. first, and most important: the miso soup was very, very good. this is always my benchmark at a new japanese restaurant. lunch tempura plate: crispy, pretty, 2 large shrimp tempura presented with a more than a decent dipping sauce. lunch nigiri combo for me: ikura was fresh. the gunkan nori was crispy. the tuna roll used decent tuna and the salmon was tasty. lunch nigiri combo for him: california roll, the albacore tuna was very good. cucumber sunomono: the flavor was right. the cucumber needed to be less chunky and more thin delicate slices. but i forgive them because the tempura was so good. swing by here for lunch if you drive through Salem. not to be confused with the other Momijis in Salem. they are separate from this one. highly recommended. read more

It was nice. Not amazing, but good. We had Lion Roll, Salem Roll, and Islander Roll. All were tasty. My favorite was the Salem Roll, with the Islander in close second. Service was quick and polite. I was disappointed to see so many items with imitation crab meat on the menu. We were there for dinner, but I think this is more of a lunch place. read more

This place was my all time favorite until they started serving extremely small portions of avocado boat for 7.50. Not only that it was brown or black avocado. The rolls ive been getting are not the quality they once were. Starting to look for other places to eat. read more

the girl who took my order told me that this establishment and the other Momiji have different owners, not that they were completely different restaurants. When my husband picked up our food they were rude to him. I assumed even though having different owners, if a roll is called the same thing I'd be getting the same roll. Would not refund me for the single roll after being on hold for 15 minutes, telling her I had an alert guy and having to call back a number of times. Why would I want to go back out to get another roll when I was just out and wasn't told the menu is completely different. Absolutely will not be coming back because I would have never gone in the first place. A waste of time and money. read more

Note to the owners: when you sit your little girl at a booth watching her phone with the volume so obnoxiously loud that the entire restaurant can be appalled by it, it's a big turn off to your customers. read more

I miss this place! I have moved and whenever I come back I visit. Hands down the best sushi for your money

We like thee variety there. For instance, I didn't feel like sushi today, but my family did. I ordered yakisoba noodles. They have a great bento dinner and great tempura. I like their veggies. The other Momiji has better sushi IMO, but this place is more comfortable and has more prefer options. Yum! read more

My husband and I decided to try the MOMIJI restaurant on S. Commercial, we arrived 1hr before closing. Staff kept walking past us ignoring us so we flagged down a waitress only to be told we couldn't be served because they received a huge call-in to go order and wouldn't be taking any more customers! No apology, just a matter of fact attitude and left us standing there in disbelief. We ended up going to nearby Simply Pho where we were greeted promptly and welcoming and the food was delicious. Several weeks later I decided to give MOMIJI another chance, after a 15 minute wait I was finally greeted by a waitress. When I said I wanted my order to go, she rudely said "Well you're going to have to wait, I'm helping other customers" and with that she left to take orders from two other tables. After being treated badly on two different occasions I will NEVER go back to MOMIJI, their staff definitely needs training in customer service. There are other sushi restaurants in Salem that treat their customers better. read more

THIS is THE SPOT! Nicely packed and freshly made rolls great fish quality! Everything is very fresh and unlike many places in Salem they actually give u soy sauce with you're order.

Both nice, some nice sauces with the calamari We ordered 4 rolls all together and they were all pretty nice. No complaints. Overall a good lunch, enjoyed with the winter sun shining through the windows. read more
