    This was a lovely experience. We went for the brunch buffet which was a good price point. Everything tasted spectacular. The sushi was exceptional quality; no fishy smell or taste. Great selection of food and the ambience was wonderful. Will be returning.

    The atmosphere / vibe / ambiance was definitely a 10 out 10. The service was incredible as well. But let’s talk about the sushi itself. While the quality of every fish we had was excellent, I wasn’t too crazy about the fish to rice ratio. IYKYK. I definitely thought the amount / cut of fish could have been a little more generous for the overall price I paid. I also thought it was interesting that they ended the omakase with a nigiri as opposed to a light dessert. But that’s just me. While my friend and I had an absolutely wonderful time, we probably won’t be coming back for a second time.

    Perfect date night / birthday spot! All the food was exceptional and the service was excellent. One of our dishes took a bit longer because it’s prepared upstairs at Momotaro, but it was delicious. Staff even apologized for the wait time! (I’d wait for crispy beef fried rice again any day!) They brought out a dessert with a candle for my boyfriend’s birthday which was a perfect treat. Can’t wait to come back! ;)
