From my limited knowledge with hand rolls I want to say that they were pretty good. I feel that these were prepared well and that the ingredients felt fresh

Salmon roll ,  loved it !!
Rod R.

What can I say that I haven't said already. Food consistency is always the best in town . Quality you can taste on any item of the menu. Love the ambiance . Clean and welcoming.

On menu item, Hamachi Kama $18

The food is always amazing here. The fish is like no where else I've ever eaten except maybe Nobu in Vegas. Everything we order here we enjoy. (Especially compared with AYCE sushi ) We come so often my husband enjoys socializing with everyone that works here. It's usually very intimate and quiet inside- Nice for dates and conversations

Edamame

Food 5/5 My first impression was that the fish was high quality, I was happy to see that the rolls didn't include imitation crab. The sushi was delicious and practically melted in my mouth. The rolls are a bit on the smaller side; usually one roll fills me up, but here I had to order two. I also really enjoyed the miso soup. The edamame was good, though a little too salty for my liking. Customer Service 5/5 Customer service was excellent! Our waitress was super friendly and welcoming, and I loved that she gave great recommendations. She really knew the menu, which is always a plus and so helpful when ordering, especially at a new spot. Loved, loved, loved it! Ambience 5/5 I was shopping at the thrift store next door and never expected the inside of this place to be so nice. It's a hidden little gem, the interior is beautiful, clean, and thoughtfully put together! Cleanliness 5/5 Super clean during my visit ! Wait Time 5/5 We were seated immediately, and since it wasn't busy at first, our food arrived quickly. Once it got a bit busier, the wait was longer, but still completely reasonable. Cost 4/5 It was a bit on the pricey side for the portion size, but considering the quality and flavor, it was understandable. Just keep in mind that rolls are around $20 each. Appetizers, like the spicy edamame, are $10, the miso soup was $4, and extras are listed on the back of the menu for an additional charge.

Giving Momo only 5-stars is not enough! Fantastic dinner: the food is exquisite, the atmosphere serene and service is top notch. Large parking in front of the restaurant, easy access. From the moment we were greeted and guided to our table, we felt that we were going to have an amazing meal. Water and drinks were brought quickly and server guided us through the menu. We chose the edamame as appetizer and 4 rolls (Lemon - Lobster - Salmon and Shrimp) - these were the best rolls we had in a very very long time. Prices are reasonable and portions abundant! So if you're craving sushi, Momo should become your only to-go spot

This has quickly become my favorite sushi spot in the IE. The staff is always friendly. The food wow the food. Fish is so fresh and tasty. We appreciate the chefs always serving such delicious food

Veggie tempura
Melissa M.

Wow, did not expect this when I first saw the exterior of the venue but again, don't judge a book by its cover. The restaurant is located in an older lot, next to another older Asian restaurant. But when you walk in, it's beautiful. Service is also good. Upon entering all give you a warm Japanese greeting. We ordered the muscles, cucumber salad, veggie tempura, spicy tuna over crispy rice, and teriyaki chicken bento box. The presentation for all of the food we ordered was beautiful and neat. All were good but the muscles and the cucumber salad were my favs. Omg! The muscles! I loved the flavor. I loved how they delicately cut the muscles so that you get a piece of muscle in every bite. I know cucumber salad sounds simple...but they cut the cucumbers nice and thin with a mandolin and the vinaigrette was just light and fresh! It was so good! Only downside is the price. It's pretty pricey...$8 for the cucumber salad and $29 for the bento box and this was lunch. But all the food was good at least! It would be different if it did not taste good. Will be back again!

First timer here! I had a wonderful experience! Omakase was really good! The price point is average for quality sushi. Omakase is a dining style where you trust your chef to choose the freshest ingredients and curate your dining experience. The chef didn't let us down! We usually bring a bottle of wine with us but the corkage fee was $25 so we opted to just get a bottle of their Sauvignon blanc. I forgot the name but it was in the $35-$40 range and I enjoyed it! Maybe a little too much as I was buzzed pretty quickly lol. The staff was nice and welcoming. I always recommend sitting at the bar. I love being able to chat with the chef and observe how he cuts fish and makes nigiri. The inside of the restaurant is clean and modern with sleek lines and simple yet elevated features. The ambiance was really nice. The appetizer plate was a great start. There were so many things on the plate and I must say my favorite was the cute little deep fried crab! It looked a little intimidating at first but it was love at first crunch. The fish was fresh. The sushi rice was made perfectly. The servings were nice. The chef even asked us if we were still hungry and he'd make us a hand roll. Usually I would want to try but I was stuffed! I finished the meal with matcha mochi ice cream. Yum! Can't wait to visit again!

Rainbow roll, fresh ingredients
Cho C.

Was in the area for Castlepark, and family was craving sushi. Out of the several options in the area, we found this location and it didn't disappoint. I wouldn't expect quality and tasty sushi out in Riverside, but this place exceeded my expectations. Each roll was made with attention to detail, good portions and fresh ingredients. Staff were friendly, and they mentioned whether we had made reservations. But we did not, and they were still able to get our party of 9 in with no problem. There is a separate side room good for larger parties as well as a huge group if needed. Decor is modern, and clean. Our server was wonderful, she was friendly, good at explaining the dishes, and was prompt with refilling our drinks or letting us know it's their last call. Cost is roughly $20+ for each roll, and they also offer an Omakase option which is pretty cool to see. This place is above the standard sushi places I've visited before, as each dish stood out and tasty.

Sushi lovers must try! This spot is the real deal. Skip the cheap, go to sushi spots around town and make Momo your next destination for all things sushi. Fresh. Fresh. Fresh. Loved everything we tried. And the service was great. Absolutely best sushi experience in Riverside.

I came here with my hubby around 8 PM on a Saturday night and it was fairly quiet. The atmosphere was pretty chill and you could see the sushi chefs making the food behind the counter which we appreciated. Even though it didn't close till much later, they were more focused on prepping for the next day, then providing good service. For example, we were never given any soy sauce, one of the rolls that we were excited for did not come with the sauce and the server mentioned something along the line of it no longer coming with it and that they were gonna phase out the menu, but he told us after we had ordered. Lastly, we were not offered refills on our water or soda as he was more focused on the football game on the screen. Onto the food we had the edamame with garlic and truffle oil. It was addictively good because of the saltines and the garlic flavor was very present, but what I didn't notice as much was the truffle. I would not let that deter you from ordering it as it was still very delicious and we finished the whole plate. They were out of the oysters when we came in, which was pretty unfortunate but we did end up getting the Shishito peppers as another side. In my opinion they needed a little bit of acidity and salt, but otherwise they were OK. The miso soup tasted fresh but it was lacking toppings. I got one little piece of tofu. The two rolls that we had were pretty fresh and that was the most enjoyable part of the meal we had the lemon roll and the Momo special. Our favorite of the two was the lemon roll. It was refreshing and the tuna melted in your mouth. The momo special was okay and this was the roll that was missing the sauce. The soju bottle did come in a cute little barrel bucket but unfortunately, even that wasn't cute enough to save the overall meal.

An Unforgettable Omakase Experience with Chef Garu Hands down one of the best sushi omakase experiences I've ever had. Chef Garu is truly a master of his craft. Every course was thoughtfully prepared, impeccably fresh, and beautifully presented. You can immediately feel the passion and precision behind each bite. Chef Garu takes the time to explain the fish, the sourcing, and the technique, which makes the experience feel intimate and special rather than rushed. The balance of flavors, textures, and temperature was flawless--each piece melted in your mouth and somehow outdid the last. This isn't just a meal; it's an experience. From the warm hospitality to the attention to detail, everything was elevated. If you're a true sushi lover or looking for a memorable omakase, Chef Garu is an absolute must. Worth every penny, and I can't wait to return

I forgot to take pictures but the meal was really yummy! I like that they don't use imitation crab Service was great! And the restaurant had a nice ambiance. I would go back again to try more of their food!

Came here to celebrate a girlfriend's birthday…read more Our party had 3 people and we came for an early dinner on a weekday. There was maybe one or two other parties there. Their menu specializes in Korean style premium seafood items. They have the option of live or not. They had different set options and items you can get a la carte. We went with their live fish and sashimi set C. We also got some live shrimp and live octopus to try. I love that the staff was super knowledgeable and explained everything to us. The live set included a lot of side dishes. It also included halibut and flounder, a platter of abalone, sea cucumber, cold soup, hot fish soup, calamari and vegetable tempura. All of which were amazing and tasted very fresh. The live octopus was definitely an experience. They tasted fresh and sweet and were very actively moving. If you want to try it I would definitely recommend trying it here. The chef was nice enough to have us try two types of nigiri. Both were amazing and fatty. The whole dinner was quite an experience. Since there were so many dishes they made sure to go in order but not rush us since many items were coming out. The staff was super attentive. Many items came with its own sauce so they made sure we were doing it right. We spent about $400 for 3 people which included alcohol. I thought it was fair especially for how fresh our seafood was. The inside of the restaurant is pretty casual but clean. You can also see most of the seafood items. I recommend if if you want live seafood items Korean style. We will be back.

Honestly, I don't understand why anyone would come here. On average, a party of 4 is spending…read morearound $400. The quality of the fish is mediocre, I've had better at the X-fish right across the street. The side dishes are also mid and bland. There is nothing memorable about the service here. It's just whatever. Save your time and money and go somewhere else. Honestly, going to an omakase spot is better for a similar price point.

We ordered the Point Break Platter, Queen St Salad, Hushpuppies, Bigeye Tuna Frites and Strawberry…read moreJam Sundae. We debated between the Shrimp & Grits and Bigeye Tuna. Decided on the Bigeye Tuna. We sat on the patio with our pup. Staff was very friendly and observant. Always made sure we had water and checked if we needed anything. Loved the Queen St Salad. So much we ate it fast and didnt get a chance to take a photo. We got the platter, which was beautiful! I'm not a fan of oysters or shrimp cocktail, but my partner and friends are. I did have a couple of oysters, and loved the flavor with the sauce. It's more of, I don't like the texture (pretty common). But my favorite thing on the platter was the crudo! I probably could have ate the bowl by myself! The hushpuppies were nice with the butter. Tastes great with seafood and a beer always. The Bigeye Tuna and Frites was probably the least liked dish. I think because the tuna is seared, the raw center of the tuna with the aioli sauce, the combo felt slippery and off-putting. Flavor was good though! I will say that the fries were amazing in that sauce though! Lastly, for dessert we got the Strawberry Jam Sundae. It was very refreshing for a warm night on the patio. Not too sweet, just right! And it was sprinkled with some crushed biscuits which added a nice texture. The sundae reminded me of a deconstructed fruit galette cookie with ice cream. I would happily come here just to eat the sundae on a hot day. Overall, I liked this place a lot. I want to come back and try more things on the menu.

ambiance was warm and upbeat, as if i was working in a restaurant but with a nice steady flow…read more service was good, booth tables inside have time limit most likely due to reservations which is totally understandable. my partner and i sat at the bar has no time limit witch was nice. i think for some a booth table is ideal for a restaurant like Queen's but the bar has a nice atmosphere you can watch your oysters being prepared while enjoying a delicious mojito. the food was delicious! xx highly recommend Clams Casino & Bar Steak

It's been a bit over 3 years... and I'm still obsessed with this place! It's been a while since…read morewe've dined here (we actually visited last June for our anniversary dinner lol). Honestly, I need to come here more than once a year. Every time we've visited, the food has always hit. I always leave the restaurant stuffed and satisfied. We had a great time at our most recent dinner. We celebrated our friend's birthday and they made our dinner really special for us. They gave the birthday boy a bedazzled crab house t-shirt, gave us 2 plates of braised salmon on the house and even an extra uni small sized uni bowl. As you can see in my pictures, our table was FULL of food. Service has actually gotten much better than our past few visits. No more pesky, valet guys and they have plenty of parking. I've been tempted to try the other raw marinated crab restaurants but we honestly love this place. Thank you for a great time crab house!

Overall (8.5/10) Pretty good spot for marinated raw crab…read more The crab was fresh and not fishy at all, the workers were phenomenally nice, and the overall experience was really enjoyable. First Impressions (8/10) Very cozy and authentic Korean restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere. It was surprisingly not very busy when we went, which made the experience even better. What We Got (8/10) * Soy marinated crab: Very fresh and melts right onto the rice. The sauce is on the sweeter side, almost like a Coca Cola flavor. * Spicy marinated crab: Good flavor but only has a very mild amount of spice. * Panchan: Really good fermented kimchi, rice cake, japchae, and sesame dressed coleslaw. * Each crab dish came with rice and they also serve tea for free. We even got a slice of salmon, which definitely hit the craving. Taste and Quality (7.5/10) The crab was the highlight. No fishy taste and the texture was really soft and rich over the rice. The soy sauce was a little sweeter than I expected, while the spicy sauce could use more heat. Service (10/10) The workers were phenomenally nice and very welcoming. Easily one of the best parts of the experience. Space and Atmosphere (9/10) Really cozy and authentic feeling. The music was mostly BTS, with some BLACKPINK mixed in, which fit the vibe. Apparently Lisa has also visited here. Was It Worth It (7/10) Pretty good for the price, especially with the rice, panchan, tea, and extra salmon. There were also a lot of crab pieces, so you definitely get a decent amount. Final Thoughts A solid spot if you are craving Korean marinated crab. I would come back, especially for the spicy crab and the really nice service.
