    Chirashi
    Aude L.

    I came here for a team bonding events with a group of coworkers. It was relatively easy to get a table for 6 of us on a weekday night at 6pm. I ordered the chirashi bowl. It had a great selection of different cuts of fish, octopus, shrimp, and tamago. Each piece was very fresh and the portions were generous. I also liked that they put various seasonings on the rice including perilla which was a very nice touch. While the fish was all very fresh, it wasn't quite are flavorful and buttery as other sushi spot I've tried in the area, but very reasonable quality for the price. The team that works here is very nice and they can accommodate a handful of dietary requests including kosher and shellfish free meals.

    Place was pretty solid in terms of its sushi offerings, and the service was great. A bit on the pricier side, but it did taste fresh. Probably would bring people here for a splurge when I'm feeling fancy.

    Sushi Lunch
    Nick N.

    Came here for a work lunch as a backup plan and it should have been our first choice all along. Service was great and the food was excellent. No complaints. It also came with a salad that wasn't bad. It seemed like a lot of people came here for their lunch meetings. Would definitely come back!

    Ordered from Momoya for delivery and shared the sweet potato roll, crispy rice and spicy tuna and tuna with avocado and salad. First, the rolls were delicious! However, the tuna avocado was lacking in seasoning, it was so bland, definitely needed more flavor. However, loved the crispy rice, can never go wrong with crispy rice! Definitely a good sushi spot with quick delivery. Look forward to going to the restaurant soon!

    Sashimi Entree

    Love Mamoya. I think everyone needs their reliable sushi spot and Momoya has quickly become that for me. No matter which location I am at the food is always solid, and copious, and I am left extremely satisfied. Could service be better? Yes, it is a bit slow and staff isn't always the friendliest. The ambiance is very casual which I prefer in an easy sushi spot. Overall Momoya is a no frills sushi spot that always delivers in quality AND quantity.

    Tempura Tasting

    Love this place! We went here after some shopping and as always, food is phenomenal! We didn't have a reservation, but they were able to get us in after about 20 minutes. We started with a few appetizers, then onto our mains, all which were fantastic. What I would suggest, is for the restaurant to seriously work on their desserts. We ordered the blueberry crème brûlée, for us it was not edible. We asked for it to be exchanged, and they happily did so and exchanged it for mochi. The mochi was better than the Brûlée, but not a good dessert. I think if this restaurant can nail their desserts or just be really good at one or two, it would help your guests finish off their meals perfectly. Instead, having a not great dessert, is what was the last taste in our mouth, which didn't reflect the amazingness of all the earlier dishes. Until they get dessert right, we'll go elsewhere for dessert. Like I said earlier. Still would highly recommend this place!!

    Had a wonderful quick late-luncheon. This branch defines true hospitality. Genuine smiling faces - staff- attention to details, friendly service and exquisite food! Worth every bite! Busy place and great ambiance. Can't wait to be back for more choices on the menu. Thank you Faula, Fearn and all team players!! Made my visit a memorable one. ‼

    So fresh so good. Yes the wait is horrendous but it's so worth it. A neighborhood gem.

    Spicy Yellowtail Roll Rainbow Roll

    Momoya chelsea is one of my favorites! I prefer this location over the Soho one because it's nicer. Pros: -large menu -affordable (as in, in line with other sushi places) -delicious -great service - lots of water refills! - food comes out as it's ready -feels fancier than it is because they dim the lights at a certain point & it's overall a nice aesthetic cons: -tables are close to each other so it can be a little loud

    It's probably insane that I hadn't been to Momoya yet when I'm always nearby. I always think I assumed they were ultra expensive. But they do almost every night have a line wrapped around out the door. Interestingly enough, they do have a very affordable lunch special every day where almost everything on a select menu is between $20-30. I've been twice so far and the food is super fresh. Like some of the freshest sushi I've ever had in my life. The service is truly impeccable and they're always super friendly. I ended up getting both times the 3 sushi roll for $20 deal. It's hard to pick a favorite. It's like picking your favorite child. But I really enjoyed the Yellowtail and the salmon avocado. They also give you a generous sized bowl of miso soup with it or the option of turning that into a salad. Highly recommend and will definitely be back.

    Fresh and delicious sushi. Perfect deals for lunch. Waitstaff was attentive and quick. Large space, but tables are pretty close together, which is typical of NYC.

    Just as I remember it - Momoya never disappoints. Love the food and the service. Expect to be cramped into a little table in the corner, but you will be happy you did bc the wait is unreal (and they don't take reservations).

    The most delicious crispy rice
    Alexandra L.

    The Quick: My go to favorite 'nice' sushi restaurant in NYC. Get the tuna crispy rice, it's a must!! The details: This spot has a great vibe and is an upscale sushi spot without being pretentious. I wouldn't go here for an inexpensive takeout lunch - although they do actually have a great lunch menu with reasonably priced specials. The unique dishes make this spot special - the crispy rice, the truffle tuna pizza (pictured), the edamame dumplings ... All stars. Enjoy! Note: they don't take reservations The damage: a bit pricier but worth it

They share a takeout menu and it's super easy to order--text what you want to the phone number on the website and pickup in ~20 minutes :). You pay on a handheld and they don't ask for tip for takeout. I love this process and truly wish more sushi restaurants in LA adopt the takeout box. The only one I know of is hefty but also $200 each lol, making Sanyuu's $69 omakase and $78 Everything don, not to mention the $30 giant salmon nigiri set, A STEAL! I enjoyed most of the pieces but I will say I don't like their amaebi or uni at all. I'm not sure what kind of uni is used here but it's the type with a very strong mineral flavor & aftertaste that I don't find enjoyable. We're spoiled by easy access to live spot prawns everywhere and fresh SB uni. Despite this, I wouldn't hesitate to come back if I lived in the city.

The slices aren't thin, delicate, and melt-in-your-mouth as one usually gets in a sit down; they are extra thick, and I had to really bite down on some of the pieces. The rice was nicely seasoned and was cooked well + portions are also big to match those thiccccc salmon slices. To be honest, I was getting a little nauseated after 5 pieces, haha~ They were definitely delicious but I'd probably just eat 3 or 4 pieces and share with a friend! It was easy to text the number on the website and coordinate a pickup time, and the staff was friendly when I arrived. The restaurant is a little hard to find as the windows are blinded and the sign is a piece of paper on the door.

The creamy kimchi udon was ok. It didn't feel like one dish, but tasted good. The una don was great. Good sauce and blend of supporting veggies to enhance the taste. Service was super quick. Everything was rapid fire: order taken, food comes out quick, water gets replinished before asking, plates are taken the moment they are finished, and check comes immediately after asking for it. Interior was cramped and loud. Really fitting as many tables as they can in the space. I saw others mentioning to make reservations. I went without one and got lucky. There was a table opening 30 minutes out. Would recommend having one, but you can definitely try walking in. First come first serve basis Overall, solid spot for great tasting food. Great for smaller parties of 2, but expect it to be tight with spacing

The fish in all the dishes…read moreI had not only melted in my mouth but the different sauces and garnishes on each one added intriguing depth to each bite. They serve the handrolls with the nori still wrapped in plastic such that there is a 0% chance the nori will lose any of that addicting first-bite crunch you get when diving in. My favorite handroll was the A5 wagyu one, not because I think I'm supposed to like everything wagyu but rather that the beef itself melted in my mouth and very few sushi places I've been to offering wagyu handrolls or nigiri actually accomplish that. All of the final three handrolls in the signature handroll set in particular were aburi and the charred taste on each of them brought things to a whole other dimension. The service was kind, friendly, humorous at times, and super fast. They were maybe too fast such that I felt a bit rushed, but it's probably because we came in at 3:15pm, just before lunch final call, so that is to be expected I suppose. I do wish they had more beer options and a couple of cocktail options, but other than that this place is nearly perfect. I'd like to come back to try the rest of their menu.

We were seated at the bar to get the full experience of the omaskase as that's what we were going to order that night. It was fairly busy that night and fairly small inside. The tables sit behind the sushi bar and are fairly close to it. We did the Sushiro Omakase which comes with a few appetizers to start with, some nigiri, a few handrolls, and dessert to finish it off. They also have a drink (alcohol and non-alcohol selection) to choose from. The fish quality for the most part was very good. My favorites were the chu toro, wagyu, and uni. The cod was pretty exceptional as well. As each piece came out the chef explained which each nigiri or handroll was made out of it or the type of fish. At times it was pretty hard to hear him since the chef was more soft spoken. There is another waiter that checks in on you and offers refills. We were pretty lucky that the chef gave us another handroll on the house. You can also order a la carte one your are done with the Omakase. Overall a great handroll and omakase. You can sit down and really take your time to enjoy the fish or be in and out. It's not an establishment that forces either. We never felt that rushed to leave once we were done. There are also some asian candies you can grab on the way out as well!
