One day I randomly pass by after the gym, & I'm so happy I found it! I would definitely recommend stopping by if you love sushi & poke bowls. For the few times I been here it's been absolutely delicious and fresh. No complaints. The owners are so kind & friendly. Their service is unmatched, always so attentive and welcoming. The restaurant does only have a few tables inside, quite small. But you can get a view and people watch while eating, lol. Since the restaurant is located in Downtown Los Angeles, street parking will do. read more

If you're looking for a quick bite, stop by Momi Sushi! The food was nice, fresh, filling, and came with a beautiful presentation. The lady working here was very attentive, asking if we needed anything else after receiving our food, asking how everything was from time to time. My friend and I felt very taken care of. The establishment isn't the most appealing or fancy as the only interior design consisted of simple chairs, tables, and pictures of the different roles they have to serve on a little wall. Kind of old school. The prices themselves weren't too bad, around $10 for a simple roll to $18 dollars for a more complex one. Overall not too bad for a quick bite. read more

Wanted sushi somewhere within walking distance of Crypto and glad we settled on this spot. The fish was good quality and the owners were so sweet. If I still worked in DTLA, I'd be here all the time. The Vivian was such a delight of textures and flavors. Usually I go for simple rolls or sashimi, but I was sold on the garlic chili oil. The edamame had a lot of salt, but you could wipe it off. My friend enjoyed his nigiri sampler. Seating is limited because it's a super small place, but food comes out fast so you won't be waiting for long. read more

What an awesome little place. The owners are the ones who make the rolls and bring you the food. They take a lot of pride in the quality and taste of the sushi. It's wonderful to listen to how much they care about sushi and their restaurant. The sushi itself was great--fresh and tasty. I liked the salmon nigiri the best. Tasted like butter. Not much seating inside but there is a park across the street. read more

Incredible! Very inconspicuous location. The staff are extremely friendly and offered ample recommendations. We opted for the m50, seven treasures, and salmon making rolls. All absolutely fantastic. So fresh. The presentation was impeccable and it's safe to say this is some of the best sushi I've had in LA. I can finally stop searching for a truly amazing place. read more

Quick staycation for a Dodgers game. Found this wonderful sushi spot around the corner. Owner came out and spoke with us and guided us through the menu and spoke to us about living in Arizona. Made us feel comfortable and instantly welcome. Had the Gyoza, which was steaming hot and delicious. Sushi was incredible, fresh and flavorful. read more

Inside is pretty small with just a few tables but the food was good and had great service since my hot tea kept getting refilled. I tried the Salmon Sashimi ($13) and Vivian Roll ($19) both of which I enjoyed. The benefit of it being a smaller place is that it's very quiet. read more

The sushi is so fresh! The chefs (owners) are very friendly. Service is prompt and the presentation of the sushi speaks for itself! We had the rainbow roll, dragon roll, and cosmopolitan roll. Each roll was tasty but my favorite was the cosmopolitan roll. It was light and refreshing. Loved it and loved how we were treated! read more

Small sushi spot in DTLA. They have a pretty big menu with a lot of different rolls -- a lot of them looked kind of sauce heavy so I opted for the nigiri sampler. Came with two pieces each of tuna, butterfish, salmon, and yellowtail. Fish was extremely fresh and service was great. read more

Momi Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I have visited this sushi spot several times and I'm always so impressed. They have a few tables for indoor seating, but are more of a takeout type place. You order at the counter and your rolls are made to order quickly and with care. The owner and workers are always so helpful and accommodating, and the fish is so fresh and delicious. Anytime I visit downtown LA, I have to stop here. 10/10! read more

I hadn't been a couple months and stopped the day before thanksgiving. The sushi is so delicious and always fresh! Always! The owners/chef are so nice and always so welcoming. It was a bit busy and didn't get to sit at my fav table (in-front of the chef) but I didn't mind. I love that others love and enjoy coming here as well. I wanted to try a new roll and the owner recommended the cosmopolitan roll and it was delicious! Everything here is always so good! If you want a cozy, small, but delicious and fresh fish, this is your place! read more

With so many five star reviews, I was pretty excited to give this place a try last week when I had a hankering for some sushi. I walked here on a Saturday night and was lucky enough to snag one of the few tables this place had. The menu had many different roll options and even though it was on the smaller side, it had pretty much any sushi roll you could want. This place doesn''t exactly give off "sit down sushi establishment" vibes, instead it looks like a barely decorated coffee shop with a few tables and a counter, though the prices are similar to any other sushi place. We ended up ordering and splitting a few rolls, which I honestly should have written down since I completely forgot which ones she ordered, but they are the two pictured below. The sushi itself tasted solid enough and I have no real issues with it, but they did just take like basic sushi you get from an all you can eat style place and the price just didn't make it seem worth it. Overall, Momi Sushi was a decent sushi spot and a place worth ordering from if you are in the area. The sushi itself was solid enough but the price to atmosphere ratio just didn't hit for me. I would rather walk an extra twenty minutes, pay the same price, and eat at a nicer place in Little Tokyo. read more

Clearly a local hole-in-the-wall for casual sushi. Nothing fancy, some style with the sashimi order, even more with the rolls, fish was fresh. Staff friendly with customers, especially once you've sat there for a bit. Nothing amazing, more ordinary than anything as far as food goes, but sometimes that's exactly what you need. read more

Wow, I didn't expect amazing sushi at DTLA. We went here before an event at Crypto arena, which is nearby. We were able to enjoy our meal along with the friendly service they gave. My favorite was the Spicy Tuna roll and as mentioned in other reviews, this is truly melt in your mouth goodness. For the price, it is worth getting, I find the portions to be larger than usual. Interesting that they do makis-it was nice trying their Salmon maki. The quality of the fish feels fresh and would definitely go back again. Not a lot of seating but there was no wait when I went there. read more

After working a couple of blocks away for more than a year, I finally made my way into Momi Sushi. The service was fantastic. I was in between two different rolls and the man preparing the rolls kindly gave me samples to help me in making my decision, no where else have I experienced this before, wow! I ended up going with the seven treasures roll and it was delicious, I would 100% get it again. The other one that I want to try is the Vivian roll. Whenever I want to treat myself to a nice lunch I will be coming to Momi Sushi. read more

Was in the area and saw a review racing about their butterfish sushi so decided to give it a try. Butterfish sushi was 10/10. Wish I had ordered more. The sushi roll was okay... I feel like the tuna slice could have been cut a tad thicker. The jalepeno popper was tasty, but extremely small for $10. Overall, I'd come back again for the butterfish. read more

just went again because i couldn't stop thinking about the butterfish!! i had my boyfriend try it and he said it's the best sushi he has had, rivaling japan. it's so unique and buttery and delicious. and once again, the kindest owners too, they deserve everyone's business. can't wait to be back! read more

We were in town and happen to stop by and it was the absolute best! The service was incredible and we were recommend rolls by the owner and they did not disappoint! We definitely will be back and recommend anyone in the DTLA area to definitely stop by! You will not be disappointed! The service was absolutely incredible! read more

Excellent! Exactly what we wanted for sushi in LA. We loved it! Great service too. Can't be beat.

Finally tried this place and got to go. It was soooo good! The fish is very fresh! Their spicy tuna is that nice fresh color not the dark dark red. It's got like a pinkish hue to it. Everything melts in your mouth. I got the seven treasures roll. It was amazing. I did get EZ rice, so when I got it the rolls looked small. I wonder if it's bc I got less rice? Anyway, that was around $21. Ordered Togo and they were very nice and brought my order out to me bc I had my dog w me. read more

Caveat to rating: the food was 3 out of 5 stars but the service bumped it up to 4 (my partner insisted). Came here on Saturday night and ordered 4 rolls for dining in. They were made quickly but the rice was oddly sweet - a bit off in my opinion but my partner liked his order, hence the split review. There are a few small tables if you're looking to dine in. Good choice but not outstanding. read more

For a small and casual sushi spot, this place delivers. The sushi is fresh and excellent and for the price the value is unparalleled. The hamachi and salmon nigiri were pitch perfect. The negihama roll was spot on. They even included a flower as a garnish on my plate which was an extra. Nice touch. Then the service was great too. Super nice and friendly. It is small with only 4 small tables but that actually adds to the cozy feel. Definitely coming back! read more

Very small! 6? Tables. Kindest owners who also are the servers, chefs, everything! The only bummer is no beer/sake but it's ok.

What makes Momi Sushi so special is the obvious care and dedication they put into their food and their service. I'm sure their takeout is fantastic, based on how many orders go out the door, but I love dining in. They make me feel at home. The lunch special is generous and delicious. I have a big appetite so I often supplement it with a few pieces of sashimi and seaweed salad, paired with a hot cup of green tea. It's a hideaway and a quiet retreat from work. read more

Great little hole in the wall sushi spot! The owners were super inviting and great at explaining the cuts their plates offered. Great quality sushi, sashimi & the mussel dynamite appetizer is the best! read more

Ive officially become a regular!! You're not coming here for a fancy/ dimly lit restaurant. You're coming here because the sushi is genuinely SO good. The spot is small and casual but as someone from LA who's tried nearly every popular sushi spot, the fish here is fresher and more consistent than anywhere else. Take a minute to chat with the sweet couple who run the place and you'll quickly realize how much effort (and longggg hours) goes into doing it all themselves. Whether I eat in or pick up I always leave smiling!!! read more

The sushi was delicious and the quality of the fish & rice was excellent; I'm glad I came here over my coworkers' other recommended spots.

The food was so good! You can tell it's fresh and made with love. The presentation was amazing too, which we didn't expect! Super duper cute! I put a photo of the plating but most of the sushi is gone because we ate it really quickly. We got three types of sushi: spicy crab, rainbow, and Philadelphia (if I remember correctly). All were so good!!! We also got two drinks and a side of spicy mayo. The total came out to about 45 dollars, which in our opinion isn't bad at all for what you're getting. The woman who helped us was such a sweetheart and very attentive! This place was so yummy and definitely worth a visit! read more

Momi Sushi - Spicy Crab Roll Philadelphia Roll Rainbow Roll - Japanese Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Momi Sushi exemplifies the true spirit of small business, community, and exemplary sushi -- win win all around. For starters, I met the owners during my last visit and they (husband and wife) both shared their journey of humble beginnings. Collectively, they have decades of experience in hospitality and small business ownership but their love for crafting quality sushi rolls evolved over the years as they mastered the art while working in various sushi restaurants. I could tell they are in the game for the long term and I'm here for it. One of the owners shared how he is extremely selective as he sources the best cuts of fish -- quality is something he kept reiterating and that is something every small business owner should be proud of. He said that he rather spend a little extra on his ingredients so he puts out quality sushi rolls than to spend less on his inventory just to push out mediocracy, and I agreed with him 100%. After all, there is a brand and reputation to uphold especially while in such a competitive market like DTLA. Alright, on to the food. I tried the following rolls: SEVEN TREASURES ($18.95) Spicy tuna, shrimp tempura, salmon, tuna, avocado, micro greens, drizzled with house sauce. YULAN ROLL ($16.75) Butterfish, tuna, salmon, boiled shrimp, cilantro, jalapeño, masago then topped with creamy wasabi sauce. Let me tell y'all -- if I could describe every bite in three words, it would be: fresh, intentional, and fire. The fish is definitely of a different caliber and not of the quality that could easily be found at other sushi restaurants. Incredibly impressive. The establishment is small with very minimal indoor seating so I think ordering for takeout might be a better option if you have a big group. They accept cash and card, and are busiest during the lunch rush during the weekdays. If you're in DTLA, stop by to support this local minority owned small business! You won't be disappointed! read more
