The lady at the counter was SOOOOO nice. The overalll ambiance of the place is not what you would expect from a traditional japanese restaurant. But don't let it throw you off because the karaage was as legit as it can get. I love how light and crispy the batter was. They offer a variety of sauces. The Yuzu aoili was my favorite to pair with the chicken. Don't let the random location steer you away. Probably wouldn't go here for a date night, but for sure if you want some delicious karaage!

Today my husband and I were excited to try a new sushi spot (new for us) that is close to another…read morefavorite of ours...California English. And this spot is Moment Sushi. Thanks to a Yelp recommendation, and always on the hunt for quality sushi in San Diego, I had to get my husband and I a reservation. Today, a weekday, we snagged a reservation for noon. I highly recommend a reservation because even within a few minutes of sitting down there were other diners showing up and service picked up quickly. However, I'm sure you could always grab a seat at their sushi bar. One aspect of dining today that we both took notice of was their attention to detail - especially in service. We greatly appreciated that our table had a sign with our name and reservation at the table - just giving that they were prepared to receive us and made it a little extra special. Another note is their attention to swapping out our sake glasses as we changed types of sake during our meal. Oftentimes you're served a new drink and expected to use the same glass. For us, we appreciated a new glass. Regarding our dining experience - no notes. Chef 100% knows what they're doing and I feel I would be ridiculous to even begin to critique their approach and service. I love that omakase have become more approachable for diners and it is something I enjoy trying whenever visiting a new sushi restaurant. I feel it can be a great opportunity to try a little bit of everything Chef has to offer. For today, I chose their midi omakase option and my husband tried their chef's choice of hand-roll set. Trying to keep this review to an appropriate length, well, there just isn't enough I could write that could put into words the enjoyment we had. So, if you're still with me, I highly recommend Moment Sushi. We will definitely be dining again!

My wife and I both ordered the ayce sashimi upgrade and without fail Ariel was on it putting in another order every time we needed it without us having to ask!

I also feel it's important to add that they recently did some upgrades to the ambience and it is lovely! Thank you Ariel for everything girl!

Obviously there were things they have had differently or things they wished were served, but overall everyone was happy. The food was hot and delicious just like last time. I was happy to see they had different dishes this time around too. Although I enjoyed everything from last time, it was nice to try some new stuff too. The place was slam packed. Multiple birthday parties going on, so the atmosphere was very alive with conversation. It was like one big family picnic in there. Initially, they could not find my reservation, but they found it and accommodated us with a table right away and even threw in a Halo Halo for my birthday. The hostess was really nice and jovial. With the amount of people in there it got really warm and unfortunately with the door swinging open over and over there were flies, but there isn't much they could do to prevent that.

I've dined at this location before it was Kusina San Diego and happy to return to try the AYCE…read moreSunday Brunch Buffet. It was affordable and great selections. It's from 9 am to 3 pm. Adults $26.99 and Children 10 and under $13.99. This is definately a meeting spot as I saw friends I haven't seen in a long time dining here too. NOTE: Be aware of where you park. DO NOT park in front of O'Riellys painted curb as they are towing vehicles. The buffet had ube pancakes which tasted good and I don't like Ube. Also, my favorites were: Tocino, Tapa and Longanesia. There's the regular items such as Kare Kare, Sunnyside Eggs, Garlic Rice and Rice. I tried the Jeprox and champarado and I was not a fan. It's just me as I did not grow up with these dishes so I didn't have a taste for it. I really enjoyed the Sisig topped with raw egg on top. We mixed it up and yummy. The best Sisig I have ever had. My friends enjoyed it very much too. Lastly, for dessert, we ordered the halo halo with ube ice cream. It was so refreshing. The ice was shaved perfectly to my liking. I don't like fine ice. Overall, great spot to gather with family and friends. It's a pretty good size restaurant too. We were a party of 12 and I would highly recommend making reservations. Thanks Tress and Staff for making my dining experience a memorable one.

He walked us through the menu, answered all of our questions, and gave us spot-on recommendations. Shoutout to Andrew for taking such good care of us! We each picked our own broth (spicy pork and spicy original) and went with the Toro Fatty Belly based on his recommendation. Every table gets their own basket of fresh veggies, and customizing your own sauce is half the fun. Pro tip: the ponzu with just a drop of the ghost pepper oil is absolute perfection. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and exactly what we wanted. Safe to say this won't be our last visit--we'll definitely be back!

Our total came to $99 including tip, which felt expensive for what we received. The food was fine, but not memorable. The spicy tuna on crispy rice was probably the highlight of the meal, but overall the sushi didn't stand out enough to justify the price. I also found the menu both diverse and oddly limited. They offer bento boxes, udon, sushi, and sashimi, but there wasn't an option to order tempura à la carte or even as its own entrée. The only way to get tempura appeared to be by ordering an udon dish, which was disappointing. The biggest letdown was the El Diablo roll. Despite being described as spicy, I didn't find it spicy at all, and the flavors fell flat. The service was pleasant, and there wasn't anything objectively wrong with the experience. It just didn't leave me feeling like it was worth nearly $100 for lunch. I wouldn't return, especially with so many other sushi restaurants in San Diego offering better value and more memorable food.

My go to is spicy miso tonkatsu with chasiu pork and I add an extra egg. Really like that theirs has toppings included and don't have to add much. This is not an ala carte type of ramen and you add items. Spice level is good and you can add more chili if you want it I have tried several is the other types they have but just prefer this ramen. Beyond that usually get chicken karage which theirs is the standard I rate most other places against. Great texture and fry on it closest to what I had in Japan. Sometimes we get takoyaki as well which is good and comes out piping hot. I prefer the Mira Mesa location over the original convoy one mostly because it is less crowded and parking is much easier. I don't go to many places multiple times but been here probably 20+ times. Service is usually pretty good and food comes out quickly. Friendly staff in general who take care of you.

Surprisingly there was no wait and my brother had already secured a table for us. There was already water at the table and within a minute of sitting down a waiter came to take our order. First time for me and my mom so needed a few minutes. Quite a few choices from ramen,tsukemen, curry, rice bowls, and sushi. I opted for the Setagaya Tonkatsu Curry. This was a thick curry, chicken, and pork broth sauce. Tasted fantastic with a rich velvety texture. The tonkotsu on the other hand was a let down. Overcooked. Thin. Dry. My mom ordered a miso ramen with pork belly. She liked the pork belly a lot. Said she liked the broth. Hates egg so gave it to me lol. I thought it was solid. My brother got the All-Star Ramen which came with two crispy curry gyoza and tempura ribs. HEFTY meal! Big bro must have seen my disappointment in my tonkotsu and gave me a rib. That was really good! Juicy on the inside with a slight crisp outside. Surprised considering the tonkatsu let down. Average experience.
