Went here after seeing tons of recommendations online to try out this AYCE Japanese spot and I wasn't disappointed! They have two varieties of AYCE: regular and premium with a slight price difference between both and 5 extra one-time items for the premium version. We opted for the regular meal the night we went and it still had a LOT of great food options that felt premium. For example, their mango shrimp sushi roll, double eel and foie gras sushi roll, Australian wagyu steak skewer, these are items you'll never find anywhere else in an AYCE. Plus the desserts were not just there it actually tasted good. It included three different types of cheesecake (matcha oreo, mocha and basque), creme brulee and so much more! Their ambiance is cozy and the service is great! Highly recommend this place.
This place had been in my bookmarks ever since they opened but finally visited for the first time to celebrate my gf's sister's bday. I thought long about my overall rating for this joint. I was at a teetering 3.5 stars and ultimately, I think I would round down to a 3 star "ok" rating. So there's 2 AYCE menus (regular and premium). Our party opted for the regular menu. The selection is not that large for an AYCE place (and the difference between the regular and premium menu is not worth it either imo). You would expect every item to be high quality and done really well then right? Not quite. We had very mixed reviews as it pertains to all the dishes. The teppanyaki & entree items were better than the sushi imo but even so, don't beat out the teppanyaki items at Ichiban AYCE for example (also more selection of grilled stuff at Ichiban). The sashimi seemed fresh. Some of the pressed sushi could've done w/ a lil less sauce on top of them (also these pressed sushis had a ton of rice in each one ... the rectangles were massive). Out of all the signature rolls, we all thought the best one was the double eel & foie gras roll. The unagi fried rice was pretty good as well. Anything eel-related on the menu is prolly your best bet for tastiness. The beef rib skewers were fattier than the australian wagyu steak skewer (which each diner was restricted w/ like 1) but too fatty. The teriyaki beef came to the table medium rare which was a surprising W. Normally dishes like this come to the table well done so that was a pleasant surprise. Dessert options/selection were also severely lacking compared to other AYCE places and not only that, they put restriction limits on dessert per person too! The staff gifted the bday girl a free match cake slice which was a nice gesture. Just taking a step back and looking at the objective totality of the meal, the menu was narrow in selection, the sushi quality did not match the social media hype that I was seeing everywhere online and there are just too many restrictions even on the regular menu. Also, the chairs (not the booths) are highly uncomfortable because they put these seat covers over a bamboo rung seat base so you basically feel the bamboo rungs digging into your cheeks through the seat cover (I was shifting around so much just to find a comfy position). If management is reading this, plz consider replacing the chairs w/ comfier ones LOL. I'm not sure I would return on my own tbh. Maybe if I was invited again for a special occasion? In my personal experience, I would have to agree w/ other reviewers calling this place a bit overhyped by social media.
One of my favourite all you can eat sushi in Markham/Richmond Hill. Service is friendly and prompt. Ambiance is good and not too crammed. I like that you use your phone to order food. Food is very good for an all you can eat.
The quality is pretty good not a lot of variety There is a sitting time limit of 1.5 hrs Service of the staff is ok dessert options lacking Lots of sitting space. It is spacious regular dinner price 41-44 and premium 46-51
One of the better ayce spots in the GTA. They have a good variety and the sashimi quality is really good but the price is a bit pricey. The restaurant is spacious, and lots of seating! Upgrade for $6 to "premium" menu to get 3 unique items. We got the wagyu roll, pork chops, and fish cod all were just okay. So just stick to the regular menu. Service was just okay... but it was fast and parking is easy to find just kind of chaotic since it's shared with T&T and other restaurants
I liked the shrimp and tartare dishes, Australian Wagyu Steak and Tongue Skewers, Beef Carpaccio , Scallop (only on weekends) and Sweet Shrimp Sashimi, Double Eel & Foie Gras Rolls. If you upgrade to premium, you can enjoy additional items like the: Rack of Lamb Scallop With Dashi Beurre [with poached lobster] A5 Wagyu Roll [4 pc] Miso Black Cod PRICING seems fair: MON - THURS Adults: $41 (premium: $46.99) FRI-SUN Adults: $44 (premium: $50.99) Kids 4-9y/o: half price
We were looking for a place for gathering, a friend recommended to go to this hidden gem. It's by far almost the best for Japanese AYCE in terms of decor, food quality and price. It's a Wednesday night, the restaurant was pretty quiet, we were the only big group of 6 guests. We tried various items on the menu, all dishes were freshly made or deep fried, fish and salad were both very fresh, we could feel they really use good ingredients. Servers were polite, prompt and attentive. There is 10% discount if pay by cash. For AYCE in future, I'll definitely go back to Momo Koko, love it, yum!
TLDR: AYCE sushi spot with a "premium" menu that is $7+ more per person. The dishes are fresh for ones with raw rish in them and most of their cooked dishes are good too. There are lots of tasty dishes but also a few dishes to avoid that I'll list below. Everyone at the table doesn't have to pay for the premium menu but from what I've heard, the portions from the premium dishes are quite small so if you tried to share them with everyone there, sounds like each person might at most get a nibble per dish :') -[AYCE/FRIDAY-SUNDAY ADULT] $43.99 -[TERIYAKI SALMON] 6/10 The flavor was there in terms of it being well seasoned and the teriyaki sauce not being too overpowering but the salmon was overcooked -[CRISPY SPICY SALMON ROLL - 4 pcs] 8/10 Not spicy at all actually; the high rating is due to the fact that the filling vs rice ratio is amazing AND some rolls like this one come in a small number like 4 - allows you to order many different ones to try -[JAPANESE STRIP FRIES] 9/10 The fries tasted like slightly less salty McDonalds fries (in a good way) and were topped with kewpie mayo, teriyaki sauce, cheese and katsuoboshi -[BROWN SUGAR STICKY RICE] 8/10 This was deep fried mochi covered in a brown sugar syrup that then had kinako powder sprinkled on top and it was not too sweet - I LAUGHED out loud when I read Patricia L's Yelp review about these because of the presentation of this dish from her experience (our dish did not look like that) -[TAKOYAKI] 7/10 Pretty standard but docking slight marks off because why did they drown the takoyaki in so much sauce -[LAMB SKEWER] 9/10 It LOOKED burnt and overdone but was almost perfectly grilled - was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It is spicy but I loved it -[BEEF RIB MEAT SKEWER] 9/10 Please see above as it was the same haha -[ASSORTED SASHIMI] 9/10 We ordered salmon, tuna, butterfish, tai, surf clam, sweet shrimp, hamachi, scallop and ika but the ika never came. Everything else was pretty fresh though - note that scallop/ika are only available on the weekends! -[DOUBLE EEL & FOIE GRAS ROLL - 4pcs] 10/10 The insides of the roll had avocado, cucumber, tobiko and bbq eel and was topped with bbq eel and foie gras. It was well balanced in flavor and the amount of rice was minimal for the roll so we ordered TWO of these actually -[SALMON YUZU-MISO YAKI - 2 pcs] 6/10 This was torched salmon topped with truffle ponzu, truffle aioli, and crispy onion. It wasn't super flavorful but was only 2 pieces so could pass or order again tbh -[SALMON TATAKI - 3pcs] 8/10 Slightly seared salmon in spicy shiso ponzu - I didn't find it to be spicy but it was tastu -[TUNA & SALMON STACK] 10/10 This was deliciously seasoned and diced tuna & salmon stacked on diced avocado that is served with crispy wonton chips -[PORK BELLY SKEWER] 10/10 The pork belly is perfectly flavored and is so tender that as soon as you bite into it, it basically begins to melt away -[ENOKI BEEF ROLL] 6/10 This wasn't super flavorul but the beef/mushrooms were tender enough -[ASSORTED NIGIRI] 7/10 Spicy salmon/tuna gunkan were alright but had too much rice like all the other nigiri. Hamachi nigiri was fresh and the aburi scallop nigiri was great but the amount of rice was still -[BAKED MUSSEL WITH CHEESE] 10/10 Not fishy at all and the cheese/sauce pairs well with it -[BEEF TONGUE SKEWER] 7/10 It was a little tougher than we would have liked but overall was tasty. Definitely looked different compared to the picture though -[AUSTRALIAN WAGYU SKEWER] 6/10 Could have been more tender since it's wagyu but hey, it's part of the AYCE menu -[BEEF TATAKI] 8/10 Very refreshing and light -[BEEF CARPACCIO] 8/10 This one was interesting because the bright green of the sauce made us think it was wasabi flavored but truthfully, the whole dish just tasted like parmesan -[GARLIC BUTTER SHRIMP] 8/10 This was a nice little snack and was just the right amount of garlicky -[KING BACON MUSHROOM ROLL] 10/10 These were so good we ordered another round of them haha - the bacon/mushrooms were cooked well -[GREEN TEA CREME BRULEE] 10/10 If I could take these home, I would have taken 10 home but instead, I ate two there haha. Very good matcha flavor -[TONKOSTU RAMEN] 2/10 Do NOT get this!!! It had 0 flavor, almost like someone made instant ramen and FORGOT to add the seasoning packet :') -[TERIYAKI CHICKEN] 8/10 Very tender/juicy but was a large portion in our eyes as our bellies were very full at this point HAHA -[ROSE MILK PUDDING] 8/10 LOL I KNOW HOW IT LOOKS but trust me, it tasted way better than it looks. Marks off for the presentation though They take cash and debit only!
Momokoko is perhaps my favourite ACYE sushi spot in the GTA so far. The diversity and creativity of all the items on the menu make it worth it, although it is a bit more expensive than the other spots. I also always feel good after visiting Momokoko which says a lot about the quality and freshness of their food. I really like Momokoko. Clean and spacious interior. Great service all the time too.
Momokoko is hands down the best ayce sushi restaurant. It is extremely worth it. It was $50.99 for the premium ayce sushi and it was worth every dollar. You can't get a lot of the premium items at any other ayce restaurant. The service was incredible and the food was really high quality.
Honestly my partner and I found it okay. Although we did appreciate some of the dishes that you would not normally see in other AYCE places such as the deep fried durian ball and their version of rainbow roll. It did not wow us enough to say that we would want to come back as the premium price was a little steep. Atmosphere was really nice, lots of booth seating! Service was pretty fast as well.
Came here Sunday upon opening with a reservation and was seated promptly. The service here is quite good. The waiters are all attentive, energetic and polite. I came here with skyhigh expectations and left with a lackluster experience and a much lighter wallet. The good side are the aburi (torched) sushi. My favourite sashimi is scallop and they do an aburi sushi with it, very good. The salmon is also good. The surprising star here is the cod fish taco! I like a good fish taco and this is one of the best. The fois gras sushi was nicely balanced. Unfortunately everything else was just okay or really bad. The wings were small and burnt. The short ribs were hardly grilled, it's like they didn't use enough heat. The shrimp tempura was all stuck together. The carbonara can't be called carbonara. All in all it's not worth the price IMO.
Located in the north west corner of Warden and Steeles in the T&T plaza. There is parking out front but with the supermarket and many other establishments beside, parking gets scarce and drivers may not be on best behaviour as they zip around in search of parking. Their online reservation system is buggy and definitely needs some better Q/A and User Acceptance testing as many people (myself included) were shocked to find out bookings not reflected on their system. There is an online ordering system with a decent assortment of offerings. The food is ok. I did find the fried items a bit oily (oil not hot enough) and the shrimp sashimi a little on the fishy side. The sitting is split between booths, cafeteria seating to accommodate any size parties and a few 2-4 top tables. The staff is rushed and the seats may not be as clean as should be. Take a peek before sitting There is an All You can drink pop for $3.00 ontop of the regular meal price
Looks better than it tastes. Got the premium ayce, and yes, I appreciate the higher-end and more-atypical menu items they had like the wagyu oshi sushi, miso seafood with a lobster bisque soup, and mochi donuts, among others. But the quality was just ok, and the taste was not that different from the regular menu items. Overall, I guess it's worth a try once to see what the fuss is about and to check out the more unusual items on the menu, even if they sound way better than they are. read more
MOMOKOKO is an all-you-can-eat Japanese restaurant known for elevated dining and premium quality Japanese food. But even good chefs can have an off day. My family got a Party Tray at MOMOKOKO for our gathering. MOMOKOKO Party Tray A consisted of a roll platter of 42pcs in total. It came with a good selection of California roll, Crispy Spicy Salmon roll, Salmon Avocado roll, Green Dragon roll, Double Eel & Foie Gras roll, and Mango Shrimp roll. Overall the Party Tray presentation looked good. We enjoy the sampling. Most of the rolls were okay except for the one roll everyone was looking forward to trying: the Double Eel & Foie Gras roll. Sadly it was not fresh. Our guests were disappointed the Double Eel & Foie Gras roll was bad. They've eaten high quality Foie Gras before, including duck and goose foie gras, duck fois gras can be gamey tasting. When properly stored and refrigerated it's a delicacy. But the one MOMOKOKO served us smelled rancid and the taste was musty, past expiry. It's too bad the best roll in the platter was the worst roll. This is a problem point the restaurant needs to address. It's odd since the menu is so unique for an AYCE sushi buffet. Their Premium Menu items are A5 Wagyu, Lobster, Lamb Rack, Seared Tuna Tataki, Beef Tataki, Miso Cod, and Duck Confit. I think it would be better to try the other menu items like the Truffle Carbonara, Tuna & Salmon Stack, Garlic Butter Shrimp, Baked Cheese Mussels, Short Ribs, Sashimi, Teppenyaki, Shrimp Tempura, Mango Pomelo Sago, Durian Dessert, and their Seasonal Tasting Menu. Substitutions of hamachi sushi, duck breast, and bluefin tuna if the signature tasting menu items are unavailable. read more
I came here for a work lunch and believe it or not, we had AYCE sushi! Thankfully it was on a Friday afternoon and we all went home afterwards... and it was indeed really needed because we all ate a little too much! The service was very quick and efficient when we put in the orders, and the sushi was incredible! All the fish tasted so fresh. This has got to be my favorite sushi place now read more

I was so excited when I finally came here after wanting to come here for months! They really live up to its hype of "premium AYCE". The premium menu is $7 more than the regular and each person can choose 3 out of the 6 premium items. My group tried the lamb rack, miso cod, a5 wagyu roll, and lobster scallop. As for the rest of the menu items, they were delicious and stood out from other AYCE places. Some must have items include Thai pork jowl, salmon tataki, durian ball, and foie gras & unagi roll. My only *small* complaint is that some items didn't come out looking like how I would've expected. Eg, I got the brown sugar rice roll and it came out looking very questionable...my waiter actually thought it was trash and took it away from our table right after it arrived and I had to be like, "Nooo! That they arrived!" LOL They have a 2 hour seating but last call is at 1.5 hour and they will close off the on line ordering. Like others have mentioned, dessert is quite limited. Service was friendly and attentive! The food came out really fast and we got everything we order, but by the second or third round of ordering the food came out noticeably slower. read more
Lovely Japanese AYCE restaurant in Markham Lovely interior design, polite and great service from all staff. Kate was our server and she was fabulous. They have a full bar with a variety of drinks. It is pricier than your average AYCE sushi restaurants in the area but they do deliver greater quality and variety. For an additional $7 you can get the premium menu with a choice of 3 of 6 premium one time order item which includes lamb rack, scallop and lobster, waygu beef roll, miso cod and yuzu or matcha cake. Dessert options aren't too much, there's cup sundae, scooped ice cream or melons. There is also a fried durian ball which is not on the dessert menu page. Lunch ends at 2:30pm and dinner starts at 4pm but be sure to make a reservation because it gets busy! And parking is limited when the T&T plaza gets full. read more

Heard about new sushi place for a while, finally got to try it today. Surprisingly they have special lunch menu with special lunch price $23.99 (weekdays 12:00pm - 2:30pm) $25.99 (Fri-Sun & Holidays) which was not posted on their website. The lunch menu has everything but sashimi, tataki series, and some special items. With half price, there are many lunch items to choose from. All hot food are above average, better than any other AYCE places, torched sushi is average though, and came last. Overall, very good experience and worth trying if you are in the area. I have attached all the menu items for lunch special as it is not available online. read more

Heard mixed reviews about this spot, but I finally gave it a try and had a great experience. Service was great, and everyone was very attentive. You can tell they hired designers to do the interior of the restaurant and the menus. Everything was beautiful! The food did not disappoint. They didn't skimp out on any of the ingredients and gave us so much fresh and high quality sashimi. I also really enjoyed their tataki. The tempura was also great, and some of their rolls were fantastic as well. Overall this was a super pleasant experience, though at the price point I would only go for a special celebration. I wish their lunch had a limited menu rather than just the a la carte option. read more

Specialty dishes are great for AYCE (everyone gets it once to pick 3 out of 4: lamb chops, a5 Wagyu sushi 4 pcs, scallop or miso black cod). Sashimi is fresh. Other hot dishes are kind of meh...nothing to write home about. Dessert is a surprisingly disappointing small menu of watermelon, crème brûlée, vanilla ice cream + a choice of limit to 1 chocolate/strawberry/vanilla sundae. Restaurant is big but with annoying fruit flies. Service is friendly, but some servers don't speak much English, and it would be more difficult if the customers don't speak mandarin. Considering that they market themselves as premium Japanese ayce and charge for it more $$ than other ayce, it doesn't feel quite worth 4 stars, perhaps a 3.5 stars in my views. Ex. Didn't like that they charge for tea, that does not feel so premium after all read more
I came here after 9pm for their late night pricing. It was definitely worth it in my opinion! Everything was very fresh and high quality. The lamb chops and pasta was so delicious! The negative was that the service was a bit slow and food came out all at once which made my stomach so hungry. I will definitely be back! read more

A great AYCE Japanese spot. Unfortunately there is not a large selection of sushi, but there are many other Japanese dishes. The sushi that we got was fresh and high quality. Their torched salmon was also better than most restaurants and had no weird aftertaste! Also their matcha green tea was amazing! read more
Damn. Now I know why this spot is getting all the hype. AYCE and it's prestigious? At Momo Koko, you can now have the wonders of AYCE sushi buffet but also be fancy with their fancier options on their à la carte menu! Their AYCE menu is quite extensive from classic slices of Sashimi, Sushi Rolls, Tempura, and more! Also, you can also find fancier options such as their Foie Gras and Eel Roll which is umami at its best with a balance of creaminess and body in every bite! The Udon Carbonara is a great East Meets West option to enjoy the classic Italy Meets Japan combo! I cannot wait to be back soon! read more
Great service, great food and good selection! We made reservation for father's day and got our table as soon as we arrived. The decor was nice but it did get a bit loud. Despite all the negative reviews about missing dishes, we didnt have any issues! They actually all came quickly and accurate! Our server Sarah was attentive and explained clearly that everyone could get 3 of the limited dishes (miso cod, lamb chops and sea bream but it was actually lobster and scallop). Not all of us wanted lamb chops, so we were offered an extra dish from one of the other two. Everything was fresh and delicious! My favs were the miso cod, scallop and lobster, sashimi and the rolls! Not a lot of ayce places offer hamachi and sweet shrimps but they do here! Same price for both adults and seniors though. They take cash or debit. read more
Came here for dinner tonight and it was a decent experience. Sushi and sashimi were fresh. Grilled items were good and tasty. We had a table of 5. We were constantly checked upon to see if we wanted to order anything else. however there was some miscommunication between us and the server as he didn't understand English enough and we didn't understand mandarin. The service was prompt but orders came out slowly. The only thing I would say is that they missed a lot of orders and we constantly had to follow up. Some of our orders would go to the table next to us and then we would have to order again. This consistently happened throughout the entire night. read more

Unfortunately most of the reviews are correct about not having your quantity of items fulfilled. Our sashimi orders were not complete the first time so we ordered it few more times and to our surprise, every order afterwards was incomplete. I ordered an udon dish from the first order and I kept asking for an update. It didn't come out until we ordered dessert. The only highlight was the tasting platter of Japanese seafood. Other than that, there's a reason why I try to avoid AYCE. For your first visit, save it for a weekday. read more

Came here on a Friday evening, later on around 8:30pm and got a seat for 2 right when we walked in. Immediately was given their ayce fill out sheet and form and so much premium quality selection items. They do have premium items (you can order a limit of 1 per person--for the entire dinner)-- and was well worth it. That night we tried the beef cheek, with a puréed savoring sauce. The black miso cod was a hit, loved it. Their sushi cuts were a little on the small side, but rolls, and sashimi were just okay. Overall the food was flavourful, tasty, and unique compared to other sushi AYCE places. $$ price came up to about $50pp plus tax and tip. Service was quite fast and attentive. Food came out all at once and they were able to provide explanation of the items when asked :) Overall a great experience and would come back to try again! read more

Was super intrigued by Momo Koko after hearing about it online! This is probably one of the only Japanese AYCEs with some unique specialty dishes on their menu, which seems to be drawing everyone in. Definitely a higher-scale menu with some of these ingredients - including A5 wagyu and duck breast! Unfortunately, the reservation system for this place needs work. The way reservations work is that there is this tablet at the front where you punch in your contact details and they'll contact you when it's your turn. I came as a party of two, and ended up having to wait 2 hours before being seated, leaving me quite hangry. I really wish we were able to place reservations online to save us from waiting there in person. We came here on a Saturday and it was packed to the brim, which also means that it was super noisy. To order, they give you paper menus and you mark off each item that you want with the quantity you wish to order. Although after ordering a few times, I can't not think how much a waste of paper it is (hopefully they will implement a better system later on). The most notable dishes were definitely the Miso Black Cod, Beef Tongue, Ebi Fritters, Cumin Lamb, Aburi Scallop Roll and the Double Eel and Fois Gras roll. I enjoyed the Beef on Seasonal Tasting menu too. Unfortunately they were sold out of the Sushi Tacos so we didn't get the chance to try them, as well as the East Coast Lobster. We actually had to ask about these dishes because they haven't come for a while, and then only when we asked they told us it was sold out. I wish they alerted us when we ordered! There were some other dishes that just never arrived as well, which I guess is typical of AYCE. Notes on some of the food: - Beef Tongue: literally the softest, melt-in-your-mouth beef; I prefer this even over the A5 wagyu dish - Ebi Fritters: big, fat, juicy shrimp with the crispiest coating; the shrimp was glistening! - Cumin Lamb: if you like lamb skewers like from food festivals, this is basically that but not $10 a skewer! - Aburi Scallop: I'm a big scallop fan, however this is more on the plain side for sushi! - Salmon Apple Roll: super interesting with the sweetness and crunchiness of the apple, but not sure if I would order it again Overall, there are some quality items on this menu that I would come back for (especially those ebi fritters)! However, Momo Koko is definitely more pricey than your typical Japanese AYCE. It is a nice change of pace from your normal menu items though! I hope that next time there will be improvements to their reservation and ordering system! read more
The ambiance is very modern and colourful. Service from calling to make a reservation to arrival was so friendly and polite. The waiter was very attentive and made sure we had enough napkins. The signature seasonal tasting menu, each person can choose three items from the menu. Tonight there is a choice of Canapés (two sashimi, one tartelette), East Coast Lobster, Tamaki rice (snow crab, A5 Wagyu, shiitake mushroom, miso black cod, beef. I've selected the east coast lobster, Tamaki rice, miso black cod. The miso black was delicious and very nicely presented. The wagyu beef taco was tasty, a little cold but still flavourful. The scallop tataki is weekend only, beautifully presented. The garlic butter shrimp was tasty and you can order by pieces. The sashimi was fresh, the tuna sashimi was still kind of frozen. Dessert have the option of Crème brûlée, brownie, different flavoured ice cream. Lovely addition to the area for AYCE jap option. read more
I have seen this place all over TikTok and was pretty excited to try it! We went in Friday night around 5pm the restaurant was half full already. The server was very pleasant. She was also very friendly. We placed the order on a piece of paper and gave it to our server. I swear....the food came out insanely fast when I mean FAST! It was a span of 5 minutes and everything was laid on our table. The quality of the fish isn't bad but you can tell it's not great. The pieces of fish are thin. I guess you cannot expect too much from AYCE. They give you the amount of fish based on your party size. I think the price doesn't align with the type of food you get. There is a lack of ambiance and vibe. The restaurant looks clean and it's pretty spacious. The chairs however are way too wide so the people behind us kept bumping our chairs. read more
We came in on a Saturday night and there was a bit of a wait but not to long. We got sat down and the first thing we ordered was the specials that they have a limit on. There was 3 of us so we got to order 9 special plates amongst the 4 choices: lamb, miso cod, scallop and lobster and the wagyu roll. They have a decent selection of sashimi like scallop and sweet shrimp. The sushi roll selection was decent and the teppanyaki dishes was good. The duck fried rice that they have is super flavourful and it is a must try in my mind. The decor was good and they have high ceilings but their chairs need to be upgraded cause it wasn't too comfy and my friend said he felt his chair he could almost fall thru it after the 2 hours of sitting. read more
They were able allow a large group reservation which is nice. The service was pretty quick. You order on a tablet, except for seasonal items which are limited to 3 per person. All of the seasonal items I tried including the black cod, lobster tail and scallop, and wagyu roll were really tasty! I liked that they have torched sushi options considering it's an AYCE restaurant. Though I will say AYCE has gotten quite expensive and I'm not sure I'm able to eat my money's worth without feeling way too full after! read more

Momokoko is not your typical AYCE sushi restaurant, although to be honest, it kind of is. BUT - what really makes them stand out are their premium selection of items in their standard AYCE menu featuring A5 wagyu and duck breast. Their fish is also relatively fresh. The presentation of the food was pretty disappointing, and I found having to order through traditional paper and pen to be a bit annoying. That said, their premium seasonal menu is definitely interesting and worth visiting to try a slightly elevated AYCE experience. read more
