    Gyoza

    We went for lunch. You can't beat the prices! $20.99 all you can eat from the sushi menu. They also offer adding on hot pot for $5 more. However, they state on the menu that they can charge $12.99/lb of wasted food. So, we decided to wait to add on hot pot. At first we thought we would do both for the all you can eat because of the cheap price to add on, so we were seated at a table for hot pot. There are regular tables and hot pot tables, also a sushi bar. The hot pot tables are a little too close together but everything seems clean. It's made to order so it didn't give off buffet vibes! We went at the end of lunch, around 2:30pm. It wasn't too busy and we got our orders pretty quickly. Our server wasn't around too much but we didn't have to wait an annoying amount of time. Definitely going back. The fish is fresh and that's not always the case in Lubbock. I wish there was a little more variety of choice in special rolls but honestly, there's so much to choose from I can't complain. I've been to "all you can eat" sushi places in California and this place was better.. good food, decent service, and not over crowded!

    Stopped by Momotoro for some appetizers and sushi, and honestly, I left pretty happy (and slightly soy-sauced). For starters, the shrimp tempura, mushrooms, and gyoza were all on point -- crispy, flavorful, and clearly made fresh. The crab and squid didn't quite hit the mark for me. The crab tasted a bit too imitation-y; I think it would be much better as soft shell crab instead. Now, the sushi -- that's where Momotoro really shines. I tried the Honda Roll and Nissan Roll, and both were delicious-- well-balanced flavors, fresh fish, and just the right amount of sauce. Basically, if these rolls were actual cars, they'd be reliable, stylish, and probably out of my price range. The service was fantastic -- friendly, attentive, and fast without feeling rushed. I'm already planning to go back to try the hot pot, because apparently my stomach has trust issues with moderation. Overall: great spot for sushi in Lubbock with some standout dishes and genuinely great staff.

    Birthday announcement, with song was pretty cute and funny. The clean environment, host and server were very helpful in explaining everything. everything tasted very fresh and came out fast. this place is good for business or pleasure. It's a very come as you are. they have like a salsa bar, but it's for sauces and dips, It's really cool.

    Variety of sushi nicely brought it out on a boat for beautiful decor.

    This is my favorite all you can eat sushi diner in Lubbock. The price for it is reasonable and if you have the appetite, you will definitely get your moneys worth. If you're not craving sushi, they also have hot pot and a lot of other options. Also do not have to do The all you can eat. They have a regular à la carte menu for you to pick from. There are lots of options. I also love their strawberry ice cream for dessert.

    Sushi and Fried Squid

    The service was great, the atmosphere was great, the food not so much. It was 2:30 PM and they said they changed to the dinner prices which was 30 dollars per person. We didn't mind since it was Two hours of all you can eat sushi and hotpot. Then we are being told that there is a waste fee of 12.99 per pound. Due to this, instead of enjoying our food we are stressing out trying to finish everything so we don't get charged for the waste. Not only that, the fried squid tastes like fishsticks, Thr "Medium Rare" Steak was well done, the rice was overcooked, The menu is massive and confusing, and on top of all of this my entire party is now suffering from food poisoning 24 hours later.

    I went for hotpot and it was amazing! The staff is nice especially the owner you can tell she is very attentive to the guests, making sure everyone is taken care of. It can be pricey though but for the amount of food you get including meats and seafood, it is worth it in my opinion.

    The inside is super cute and all of the food has beautiful presentation. The waiter was really attentive and the service was fast.

    Hotpot all you can eat

    First time trying hotpot and it was great! Price isn't crazy for an all you can eat, and the service was top notch

    I really enjoy this place. Everytime we have gone we have been served by a really nice girl who is very attentive to when we need refills on our sushi and hibachi. The hot pot is really good too I wish there was a way to just get hot pot but you have eto pay extra for that. I love the sushi choices it is all fresh and high end just like if you got to a sushi restaurant and ask for sushi you get a decorative plate which puts this place over the top for presentation. I enjoy it every time. Wish the price was a little better during lunch and then the price for lunch could be dinner but maybe if more people go they can work with a lower price. Over all I really do enjoy it. The only con I had was the last time I went the tempura shrimp that was in the sushi tasted a little old as far as texture it wasn't hard and dried it tasted pretty made and kinda soggy.

    Beautiful food and an even more beautiful atmosphere!

    Great food and great service! I had the Nissan roll and as you can see it was beautiful. Didn't last me very long though!

    Yanagi Ramen is a solid addition to the area and a place I'd definitely return to. While it wasn't…read morethe most mind-blowing ramen I've ever had, it was genuinely good--especially for the location--and clearly hits the spot when you're craving something warm and comforting. I really appreciated the variety of vegetarian options, which felt thoughtfully done rather than like an afterthought. My bowl was flavorful and well-balanced, though worth noting: even after asking for heat, it wasn't spicy at all, so spice lovers may want to temper expectations. That said, the experience had a bit of a rough start. We arrived right at the posted opening time (11am) and ended up waiting outside in the freezing cold, unsure if they were actually open. We had to call to confirm, and only then did someone come to unlock the door. Once inside, I asked for hot tea--pretty standard at most Japanese spots--only to be told they were completely out, which was surprising. All things considered, Yanagi Ramen delivers a dependable bowl with good vegetarian choices and a clean, modern space. A few opening-hour kinks and missing basics kept it from being great, but the food itself was enjoyable, and I'd happily come back--just not for spice, and hopefully next time with hot tea ready to go.

    I enjoyed this meal! I got the spicy tonkatsu and tried the curry ramen. Both were pretty…read moreenjoyable. The meat was nice and charred and thick. My only thing is that the soup could have been slightly warmer and with a smidge more broth. I usually don't like a tone of broth but this was a little lacking (see photo). My friend got the seafood ramen and it looked really bad. He said it came cold which was confirmed with another person who tried the soup. The shrimp looked very overcooked and the scallops were tiny. We also tried the calamari and the takoyaki. The takoyai wasn't very good and the calamari also wasn't great but the sauce saved it a little. We also tried the white peach sake which didn't taste like alcohol at all. The hot teas and sodas are refills as well. Service was nice and the interior is very pretty and modern.
