Momoya Upper West

We are long-time New Yorkers who no longer live here but visit often and this is definitely one thing I miss. Excellent quality sushi that doesn’t break the bank. Everything we had was delicious but the crispy rice was a highlight. I got one of the lunch specials (ladies’ lunch - dumb name but whatever) and it was SO good. If I still lived here this would definitely be in my rotation!

I had the black cod over a roll. The cod was scrumptious. The roll very non-descript and truthfully, boring. I also had edamame, which was large enough to serve a family of three. It was very tasty. Service was good. I was there, however, at 5:30pm. A bit overpriced. Ambience was lovely.
Full disclosure: I just got back from Japan, so I’m undoubtedly spoiled.

Went with a large group of friends and nice to split various dishes. Really enjoyed the sushi and crispy rice. Some of the options wouldn’t get such pork shumi or cheesesteak sticks. Overall service was okay had some confusion with the dishes but they did come out quickly. Recommend for sushi as pretty atmosphere

What a delicious experience - The rolls that we got were amazing and flavorful, expertly prepared. The edamame was salted perfectly. Just before we left we tried a delicious sake' as well, provided to us by the bartender - it was amazing. We will definitely visit again.

We each had their three roll combo lunch special. Everything was really fresh and delicious. I'll definitely be back here!

I visited today, on 06/21/23, around 03:00 PM. The ambiance of the place was pleasing to the eye, but unfortunately, I found the food to be overpriced for its quality. Moreover, the service was exceptionally terrible and horrific.

Despite there being several empty tables, we were told to wait for 20 minutes before being seated by a less than friendly waitress. While placing our orders, the waiter made faces and rolled her eyes when we asked for additional details. Throughout the entire meal, our waiter failed to visit our table even once.

I advise you to exercise caution, as there have been multiple reviews mentioning that the establishment adds an extra tip if you leave one on the receipt. It might be a safer option to request the card machine to be brought to your table instead.

To make matters worse, as we were settling the bill, the waiter stood over me, ensuring that I left a tip, and even displayed displeased facial expressions when I decided not to leave a tip exceeding 20%. It is disheartening when waitstaff expect to be tipped despite providing subpar service. I strongly recommend avoiding this place entirely.

The sushi was reasonable, but I've had fresher. It's never a good look for a sushi restaurant when there is the smell of fish wafting about.
I ordered salmon with avocado roll, and it did not look like salmon. Either the salmon was gray or it was tuna. But I was with people and I didn't want to argue.
Service was very pleasant and the atmosphere was good. Most of the sushi tasted good, but there seemed to be a very strong smell or taste to the octopus. That was a little concerning it should not have a smell.
The overall experience was okay, but I would be a little more concerned about the freshness. Although the other fish it did taste very good and did not smell.
If the price was more reasonable I would have given them a pass, but the prices for sushi in my opinion were higher than I've seen in this neighborhood. My usual sushi place is at least five or six dollars cheaper per person. So at these elevated prices, I would expect the best of everything and that's not what I got.
