This place is a staple of mine and my fiancé's relationship. Her parents first introduced this place to her when she was young, and she did the same for me when we first met. We've been coming here for 4 years now, and they remember us every time. The service here is great. The servers are very friendly and are always on top of general service throughout the course of our visits. The food is also fantastic to say the least. We have never, and I mean never, have had an unpleasant experience eating here. Even if we ordered something we didn't personally like, it wasn't the quality nor the presentation that was to blame for our dislike. The feel of the restaurant is warm and inviting. The same woman always greets us, and as mentioned before, she always recognizes us. The chef almost always gives us an extra roll to try on the house. This is and was never expected, but they go out of their way to do so and we are beyond appreciative of it. The picture attached shows the roll given to us during our most recent visit. We would attach more photos, but we were too busy eating our other rolls to bother taking photos. However, even if they didn't give us a free roll to try from time to time, our regard for this lovely restaurant wouldn't change. I highly recommend Sushi Momoyama to any and every local that is craving tasty sushi and a welcoming atmosphere. read more

Sushi Momoyama - Sushi Bars Near Me - Concord, California

This place is the absolute best sushi place my fiancé and I have ever been to from the price, the food, the waiters, the ambiance, everything! It's always a pleasure visiting this spot. Upon entering, you are given this amazing salad with dressing and Miso soup. We ordered the Ichiban Roll, Dynamite roll, Amigo roll, and the new chef's special Mamacita roll. While all were amazing, the Mamacita roll especially caught our eyes because of it's refreshing taste and lemon flavor. It is something new that I hope the staff keeps because it was truly divine. Each time we enter, they always try their best to attend all customers with such a polite manner. We've been coming here for almost 4 years and we never regret our choices. Due to our frequent visits, the staff even remembers us! It truly makes us feel recognized. Regardless, this place is always an amazing recommendation for the best sushi in Concord. If you ever have a chance, please give this place a try. I highly recommend their sushi options but the rest of their food is just as good! read more

We're regular customers here. Food is great but prices went up. I think they need to renovate their restaurant.

A hidden gem of a place literally hidden in a not so great neighborhood. If you don't know the place is there, you'll never find it. Great sushi spot, run by Koreans. Still really good though. They have all the usual favorites, and some extra Korean treat like Kimbabs and hwedupbap (Korean style chirashi). The servings for the pork and chicken Katsu are big. So bring that appetite. read more

We came here on a weekday evening...craving some sushi and this seems to be a popular place! We ordered a few sushi rolls and they seemed pretty fresh overall. They have great portions. I liked the sesame dressing on the salad, even though it was probably very similar to what you might get at other places. The miso soup was also nice and comforting. We also ordered one of their specials, the mixed vegetable karaage. It was not necessarily what we expected, which was maybe something like small pieces of vegetables deep fried, but it ended up being shredded veggies like carrot that were deep fried into pancakes (3 pieces). It wasn't my favorite dish. We did flag down the waitress who was presumably the owner, as well, for a bowl/dish that had some old food on it. She apologized and brought a new one out. She then surprised us with a kimbap, which was not expected but very much appreciated. At that point we had eaten so much, we had to take it to go. Parking lot is on the smaller side. The outside of the restaurant made it seemed like the inside was small, but it was pretty spacious inside. Overall, it was a positive experience here, and I'd recommend a try! read more

I came here for lunch again. Beware, they keep increasing their prices. Ugh! I was a little annoyed when the staff said I couldn't bring my bottled water. There's no signs that states NO Outside drinks. Their water is not filtered and tastes terrible. They need to install a water filter. I ordered their lunch special Bento box. It was very good and big portions. I ordered the salmon with tempura Bento box and it was very good. read more

Still continues to be a decent option with consistent food, and good service when they aren't slammed. However when they are slammed, service borders on so irritating you want to complain, and understanding that they're understaffed. Prices are ever increasing, but the tempura is still crunchy, and the fish is still fresh. But the beef teriyaki is always tough and the water never has ice. Miso soup and Salad are great. Overall this is still a go-to when I visit. read more

My sister and I stumbled upon this place a year or so ago to get takeout and we were so impressed. It's hard to find a great sushi place out here and this checks all the boxes. The sushi is so good. They have great specialty rolls and even the non-sushi dishes are amazing. This has become my family's go-to for sushi orders. read more

The sushi here is great! We got the crunchy roll, rainbow, and crazy roll. Big portions and good ratio to rice. Rice here is seasoned well and great texture. Fish tasted fresh and buttery. One of the best rainbow rolls Ive had in the area. It had lots of different fish and was all great quality. The crunchy roll had great crunchy texture and not hard or dry. Service here is great. We were welcomed at the door right away and got seated immediately for lunch on a Saturday. Although there was one server doing it all, she did the best she could to be on her feet and be attentive. We also received complimentary got miso soup and salad. Food came about 10min after we ordered. The ambiance of this place is also great. We walked in and noticed light pop music playing which we enjoyed. Also the decor was also well japanese themed. The place also felt homely and family oriented. The restaurant was in a strip mall and we had no problem finding parking in the lot. Would recommend for a quick family lunch. Definitely coming back! read more

This place is reasonable, quick during not so busy dinner time. We have been here many times during dinner and it does get busy. Sometimes the service is slower during peak time but otherwise they do get your stuff in less than 10 mins. We usually order volcano toll, caliente and spider rolls. The rolls never disappoint. Sometimes you can see that the presentation gets clunky during rush hours. But atleast they make everything fresh. It's not a fancy place and sometimes I just show up in my pjs. The ambiance is relaxed and no dress code needed. read more

2nd time here because our first experience was amazing. The location is a bit random and tucked away, but it's worth checking out if you're in the mood for tasty sushi rolls--which are large in size compared to other sushi restaurants. Food options: Bento boxes, tasty appetizers. I recommend trying their sushi rolls. The Brother's Roll and Concord Roll are delicious. Taste: 8.5/10 Service: 10/10 -- they're attentive and respectful. Vibes: 10/10 -- I walk in and get a good feeling every time. Like "I know I'm about to walk out happy"... and it's true. We'll be coming back :) read more

Great little place in an alley near Costco. The Bento Box offerings and the sushi boats are monstrous. They also are really nice to the kids as well and have great service. My kids like all the options and the place is affordable. I would say the sushi is pretty good quality for what you pay for. The alley and location is not the greatest, so be careful when parking around there. But overall i would recommend and focus on the bento and sushi boats. read more

5 stars for the size of their rolls, especially their specialty ones. They are nearly twice as big as standard rolls around the area, more stuffed, better bang for your buck. The kids enjoyed their food here as well and asked that we become regulars, which is a great sign! We (party of 4) got here between 12:30pm and 1pm on a Sunday afternoon for lunch, and we were seated at one of the booths. We were given miso soups (yay, love free miso soup!), waters, and menus. There was also a specials menu on the table where the kids decided to get the tonkotsu ramen with California roll combo. We didn't see ramen on the main menu and weren't sure if we can order it separately as the daughter doesn't like rolls, but the son said he'll take her California rolls as well. What we ordered- The ramen with roll- wow, huge portions! Noodles were a bit soggy, but otherwise they really enjoyed it. They were a bit disappointed that they couldn't finish the whole bowl along with their sides. The California roll was really big and stuffed with the crab (imitation?) meat and such. Chicken karaage- the daughter said it was really good. Portion for this was huge too and she ended up taking a few pieces to go. Super rainbow roll- all for me! It's like a rainbow roll, but super. They add a shrimp tempura inside there and top the roll with the standard stuff plus some unagi and more. So good. About twice as wide as other rolls I've seen, with bigger cuts of the fish on top. Futomaki roll- decided I needed some veggies so I got another roll not knowing how big the portions here would be. The futomaki roll is one of their more standard roll, and it was pretty good and stuffed with everything as advertised, but a lil something was lacking, but can't quite tell what that is. Lunch bento with chicken teriyaki and gyoza- I absolutely love how they put practically a whole gyoza appetizer here instead of just 2 or 3 pieces like most other places with lunch bento. Amazing. All was pretty standard, but good. One of the more "normal" portions here, but still filling. Deep fried roll with shrimp tempura- like a California roll with shrimp tempura added in, but deep fried and covered with special sauce. We didn't order, but were given this to try, and it wouldn't be something we'd order and the husband has shellfish allergy, so practically all for me. I left feeling stuffed!!! Good value. Spent over $100, but well worth it. Keep up those portions, and we'll be back maybe more often than we'd like! read more

Favorite sushi restaurant! In past experiences we would be given a roll (sometimes rolls!) on the house or similar. Garden salad is soooo good, the sauce is so creamy and leaves one craving more. There is a parking lot next to the restaurant. Nice ambiance inside. read more

The best sushi in the entire Bay Area! Established Japanese Sushi restaurant in Concord! We have been coming to Momoyama for years. We have tried every Sushi restaurant in the entire Bay Area, and Momoyama is number one. The most welcoming and friendly staff you will ever meet. Once inside you feel as if you were actually in a Japanese restaurant in Japan! The sushi chefs are constantly at work behind the sushi bar. Plenty of parking as well. I didn't take the pictures of the current menu, but instead I'm offering their QR code for your convenience. If you want a really wonderful and real sushi experience. Please come to Momoyama in Concord. read more

We have been coming here for over 20 years. I have always praised Momoyama as my fav sushi place in the East bay. I have watched them grow from a tiny hole in the wall to a bigger brighter restaurant. I love the friendly head sushi chef. Sadly, things have changed in the past year or so. They seem to be chronically understaffed with a max of only two servers, regardless of how busy they are. They often forget to take our order, bring us out the wrong rolls, or forget about us altogether. Tonight, I'm leaving this review after sitting for over 45 minutes for food, only to be brought the bill and no food. My other complaint is that the rolls have gone down in quality. For some reason they all taste the same and lack the freshness they once had. It breaks my heart to leave this negative review, but unfortunately it might be time for us to move on. read more

My family has been going here for years and loved it but the quality seems to be going downhill. The last few times we went here the rolls just weren't as good as before. They seem to be really skimping on the fish because the rolls we got with fish on top were sliced so ridiculously thin and uneven. For $16 a roll, I'm expecting more than a 1/3 cm thick slice of fish. Some pieces barely had any fish on the inside too. It's disappointing to regulars.. read more

I picked up a beef teriyaki Bento box "to go" for a Japanese friend in the hospital. He loved it. The beef was very tender and flavorful. He was able to have the bento box for 2 meals with soup, salad, rice, beef teriyaki, and California rolls. read more

Food is absolutely delicious and filling. The establishment is run by an adorable couple with the husband preparing the food and the wife serving.

Just lost one of my favorite restaurants. I suspect the owner has been changed. One of the orders has a roll of tekkamaki as side. The rice is dry and has no flavor. The seaweed is dry and stiff as well like it was rolled yesterday. Sushi is not as good as before. Sad. read more

Generous portions, great quality and price. What's not to like? We came on a busy Saturday night around 7 and there was a short wait but we were seated promptly. Our servers were friendly and checked on us to make sure we were good. We ordered the fried oysters, ultimate sashimi combo ($50 level), dinner bento, hamachi Kama, and a large sake. More than enough food for 4 people and we even took home leftovers. Don't sleep on this hidden gem. Or maybe you should so the line doesn't get any longer than it should. read more

Service sucks. There were 4 tables when I first walked in. Was sat down and waited 10 minutes for the waitress to come around. She didn't even bring water. She asked if I wanted something to drink, I said water would be nice. I started ordering. Before I was done she started grabbing the menu, I asked her if she was in a rush. I felt like she couldn't even be bothered by me. I got fed up and walked out. Previously I had a bad experience years ago and I thought I'd give another chance as I just moved closer. Never again. Plenty of other sushi places to go to. read more

Still going to Momoyama after many years, before, during and post pandemic. Quality of food never change and service is always good. This time we order sashimi and it comes with rice. We love salmon, tuna and hamachi and they were able to customize what we love. Also huge salmon hand roll! And the hotate scallop nirigi is a bomb! Fresh and melt in your mouth! Very satisfied dinner! read more

Food is subpar and prices way more expensive than during covid. Rolls are smaller and bento not as tasty with smaller portions. The last time I ate there, there was a hair in it but since we got it to go there wasn't much we could do about it. Absolutely disgusted. Will not be going back for now. Never ate in but we were regulars during the pandemic all the way up to recently due to the quality and quantity of food. Perhaps it's different if you eat in. read more
