This place is awesome - great food, friendly staff, and nice ambiance. Love it here!

We visited for our first time last night and it was a great experience! The restaurant is cozy and very authentic. The service was very good and our food came out very quickly even with a full house. We ordered the gyoza, katsu, and ramen and everything was amazing! They also have lots of sake options! Thank you! We will be back for sure ! read more

It's nothing fancy in any way. The food was great. I will say I was a little scared to be honest. The waiter had very dirty hands and fingernails and that grossed me out. I reminded myself he's not the cook to let it go. Even though it's still in my head, so the the memory of the good food. read more

Small restaurant with a lot to offer. The staff is extremely friendly and they have a large variety of fun foods to eat. The place is decorated nicely and the quality of food is excellent. read more

Nestled in a quiet corner, of many other shops, I had no real expectations. Upon entering, I was greeted with an enthusiastic "ようこそ!!" and sat at an available seat at the counter. I ordered shoyu ramen and a frosty beeru. The ramen arrived piping hot, steam trailing behind as it left the kitchen. I looked, no, GAZED upon the bowl, jewels of liquid fat glistening in the light on the surface. Transfixed by the perfectly sliced pork belly, I gave it a quick tap before bidding it a temporary, sad farewell, tucking it beneath the surface for later. Finally, I gathered a heap of noodles and slurped until the very last one hit my nose with a satisfactory smack. In what felt like a mere minute, I realized I was already lifting the bowl to my lips to sip every drop down. My only regret was not having ordered another. If you're inspired from the last time you watched Tampopo, and sad you can't make it to Japan for dinner tonight, fear not. Make the trip to Momo no Hana, close your eyes, and it's almost possible to feel like you're there. Bonus: the staff is clearly a Japanese family. When you're there, they invite you in as one of their own. read more

My brother and I tried this place this evening for the first time. It was very delicious. The place is very clean, and the chef and staff have excellent customer service. We tried about a dozen things off the menu. All were fantastic. read more

Authentic Japanese food. Menu is extensive and everything I have tried there is amazing. Noodle dishes,sushi and all plates are amazing. Don't neglect the ice cream with plum wine served with a little dessert fish filler with bean curd....you're welcome. Love this spot read more

As a former professional ramen chef and out-of-towner, I am incredibly impressed by the attention to detail and dedication to quality. The tonkotsu is superior to most ramen I had. While the ramen noodles were previously frozen, it is understandable. Fresh noodles are time consuming, but the chef makes up for it with a fantastic broth, toppings, and a wonderful chew on the noodles. My only regret about this place is that it isn't in my hometown, because it would be a wonderful addition to the dedication of quality in Japanese food. read more

Momo no Hana - Just ok.... - Sushi Bars Near Me - Apache Junction, Arizona

Tiny place with no signage, which is always kind a fun thing, right? Extensive menu, friendly staff, and our food was excellent. We shared a variety of sushi, tempura etc and liked everything. Take their recommendations and you can't go wrong. read more

All food and drinks here were excellent. The savory pancake will be a must for future visits. Even though the server was busy, he was very friendly, took his time with us and never made us feel rushed. He thoroughly explained the sakis and helped us choose ones that my girlfriend and I would enjoy. This is a very small place and you will have to get there at the right time to be seated or be okay with waiting a bit. It is definitely worth it though! I can't wait to go back. read more

First Japanese food restaurant that reminded us of the food we ate and loved while living in Okinawa Japan. Excellent and we are going to go many more times and try other selections. They need a larger place. read more

Cute little gem; mom & pop operation so limited capacity. So be patient! However, it is hard to find authentic Japanese food and quality takes time. The prices are reasonable; I know what Japanese food costs. So to whoever commented that $150 is a lot for 3 people: ha! I have spent more than that for quality Japanese food solo. Too bad it takes 30 min to get here. read more

Momo no Hana - Japanese sweet snack basket - Sushi Bars Near Me - Apache Junction, Arizona

I loved it! The place is really small but the food is extremely filling. Shockingly so. I tried the Salmon/Yellowtail Sashimi and was really good and fresh. I didn't taste any freezer burn so don't let that review scare you from trying! I tried their Katsu Curry with Pork and it was delicious! The Gyudon was also stellar !! The rice they used is really high quality. Me and my date couldn't even finish our meals! It was shockingly a lot more than meets the eye. I tried the Gyoza or fried dumplings and it was also probably the best Restaurant gyoza I had. I can't wait to come back and try new dishes and even some of their drinks C: read more

Love this little gem Asian restaurant. They have excellent sushi/sashimi and we always order the pork Tenkatsu

Momo no Hana is about as authentic as it gets for Japanese food. I was truly shocked to find Katsu Donburi like I had in Japan in Apache Junction. Yes, in AJ on the west end of Ace Hardware/strip mall off Apache Trail. I am so thrilled I found this place. It's not a big restaurant, only a few tables which were all taken when we arrived shortly after they opened at 430pm. So we ordered to go and it was all delicious. We added vegetable Korokke and vegetable Tempura. Tempura isn't particularly difficult to find these days, but Korokke is not something you see on the menu often. It's mashed potatoes and vegetables mixed together and deep fried. Momo no Hana has perfectly seasoned and fried Korokke. Do not pass these up. As good as the Korokke was, the main event was the Katsu Donburi. The tricky part to this dish is the sauce which makes or breaks it. The chef nailed it. The combination of the rice, pork cutlet, egg and sauce was perfect. It's a nice hearty dish for a chilly February night in Phoenix. I'm really looking forward to trying other dishes and eating in at the restaurant. I noticed they have Sapporo on tap and have several selections of Sake. I get the feeling this place is super busy based on other reviews. It will not detract us and we will return. read more

What a hidden gem!! This spot blew me away. We ordered okonomiyaki (I believe it was Osaka style), Albacore tataki, calamari tempura, onigiri, soba, momo roll, and yakisoba. Everything was delicious. Flavors were on point. Service was okay. Limited seating. Our waiters started off attentive but did disappear on us as they got busier with to go orders. Food was slow to come out but they did apologize for the wait. Offered soda but we declined. Overall, it is still worth the drive. I would be sure to allot extra time in case the kitchen gets backed up. We will be back. read more

Amazing authentic Japanese cuisine!! Definitely a repeat place! Would recommend to anyone who loves food. Try the momo roll! Umeshu for desert This was an amazing anniversary with my wife!! read more

My fiancé is a picky eater/not adventurous at all, but quite a few restaurants are closed on Mondays in Apache Junction so we decided to give this place a whirl. Hole in the wall, doesn't even have a sign out front, but wow was this place busy! We sat at the bar and she ordered the veggie roll and panfried chicken pot stickers and she loved them both. I ordered a few items and my favorites were the nigiri maguro and the Momo roll. Would definitely come back next time we're in town. read more

Delicious authentic Asian food, wonderful staff and such a clean place, some fairly people(:

Momo no Hana - Ebi fry curry rice - Sushi Bars Near Me - Apache Junction, Arizona

10/10 would eat here every night of the week if possible, the family that owns and operates Momo no Hana was so fun and so friendly about any of our questions, I used to be a firm believer that any state that's land locked (no ocean) shouldn't be serving sushi but a local recommended this place to me, Skeptical but Curious me and my girlfriend kept an open mind and ended up ordering like 3 rolls each to ourselves! Super extensive menu, a little large for me but they seriously have something for everyone. Also very reasonably priced for the quality and location. read more

Excellent food and service. This is definitely a place to go for great Japanese food.

Very tasty food. I got the katsu chicken rice bowl. There is no name on the outside of the building though so be careful or you'll miss it.

Love this place. They are busy because the food is authentic and delicious. Highly recommended and worth the drive.

Authentic food, elegant drinks, prompt and friendly service. Cozy setting with a loyal following. An unexpected gem of a restaurant

The quality of sustenance is of superb excellence. If you require delicious sushi than this is definitely the location

In my opinion, Best Authentic Japanese food in the east valley! Order anything. Never been disappointed

This place is awesome. The authentic Japanese food is absolutely delicious. My family and I try to go at least a couple of times a month.

Great food and amazing customer service. Highly recommend if you're in the AJ area. I got the chicken curry rice! read more

Momo no Hana - Chicken Curry Rice - Sushi Bars Near Me - Apache Junction, Arizona

This is my go to place whenever I need a good Japanese food in AJ. The staff are pretty nice and very friendly. Food is also great!!!

Everything is delicious. Staff is very attentive. Clean restaurant. Quality food. It looks much more attractive inside compared to the outside which is hidden in a quiet corner next to ACE hardware behind the village inn. It's hard to find but so worth the search. read more

I had high hopes based on the ratings. My order was to-go, so I'm not sure if that factored in to this review. A few of the items I tried to order, such as the Momo roll, is not sold for take-out. I couldn't find a current menu online, so I based my order off an older menu and pictures posted. I live in Montana and thought the sushi there is expensive. But at least you get a sizable order, and it is fresh. That aside, I ordered 2 rolls and a poke bowl. The first roll was 6 small, and I mean SMALL pieces. The second was 8 small pieces. Both rolls easily fit in a burger sized styrofoam container. The bowl was mostly rice and a little bit of ahi tuna on top. I had to request wasabi and ginger, and was given one tiny cup with one piece of ginger and a dab of wasabi. $43 plus tip. We were really looking forward to good sushi, and feel the grocery store sushi is prettier and more sizable. Maybe I ordered wrong but regardless, it was NOT worth the money! Anyway, here is a current menu as of January '22. read more

Loved the sushi. I'd like to tell you more but this place is already to hard to get into on the weekends. They truly need to expand to handle the demand. Very good food! read more

Good food but a little pricy for what you get. You have to be quick to get there. They are only open for a short period for dinner time.

Delicious can't wait to go back. Be patient worth the wait. Yummy very happy to found this Japanese secret in AJ!

Decent, better options if you're willing to drive a little bit. Good selection of japanese beers and sake though!

Food was delicious and the staff are very friendly. Their curry was my favorite item. I have not been able to find authentic Japanese food like this in this area. Will definitely be coming back again! read more

Amazing authentic food, wonderful service, and a really unique atmosphere. Found this with my husband when it used to be called "Momo's" and we have brought a new person with us every single time. Momo no Hana recently renovated a bit with a new interior, more seating, and expanded menu with some delicious options like their Aspara bacon or their new soups. Pros: Lots of meal options, authentic Japanese food, great and attentive staff, decent pricing, little to no wait time, quick service or sit down, Cons: Can get pricey if you decide to buy the whole menu lol, located in a really funky corner of a plaza that does not give momo's nearly enough business as it truly deserves. read more

Not a huge fan of cost prohibitive Japanese food which I suppose is synonymous. If you enjoy spending $150 for three people then this will be the place for you. I'm a cheapskate and I like to go eat at places of good value i.e. Tajima. I'm sure this is considered high end and quality but I'd rather have a thicker pocketbook Three stars for outrageous/pretentious pricing. read more
