Super convenient sushi spot right off the Redmond light rail! Our experience here was incredible. The Food: We ordered a fantastic spread: the Hotter Than Hell roll, Hamachi "soup," a sashimi set, and a spicy tuna roll topped with fresh jalapeño, all paired with hot sake and Sapporo. Everything tasted absolutely incredible and incredibly fresh. If you love heat, that Hotter Than Hell roll is amazing! My only real critique here is that they serve Atlantic salmon on some of their dishes. Being right here in Washington state, you would think they would know better given where we are located and the premium prices they charge for a meal... Atmosphere & Service: The ambiance inside is wonderful, contemporary, and beautifully designed. To match the great vibe, the service was very helpful and attentive throughout our entire meal. Despite the choice of salmon, I would still highly recommend checking this place out. The food is delicious, the vibe is great, and it's super convenient read more

So glad this place opened on the Eastside! I've been here three times already, and each visit has been consistently great. The complimentary edamame was such a nice touch and absolutely delicious. The service also stood out -- the servers were attentive, friendly, and checked in frequently throughout the meal without being overbearing. The food itself was fresh, flavorful, and really well-prepared. Everything we ordered tasted great. Overall, I've really enjoyed every experience here and will definitely keep coming back. read more

Came here with a friend for a meal while hanging out. I had heard of Momiji but haven't had the chance to come for a long time! I'm glad I was able to finally try it out! Walking in, we were immediately greeted by the hostess and we didn't have to wait at all to be seated. I noticed the nice, clean and chic vibes of the restaurant. I almost felt like I was dressed too casually haha! I loved the complimentary edamame that was given when we were freshly sat down. They were salted appropriately and they were a nice appetizer before we got our sushi. Our server was quick to check up on us and made sure to come by regularly to fill up out water and to make sure everything was good. They had a good personality as well which I appreciated as I was able to joke with them. I also liked that other servers would even stop by if they noticed a finished plate as well. Very nice! My friend and I decided to get some items off their happy hour menu. We got a couple of rolls and some sashimi as well. Everything we got as very tasty. There wasn't too much of anything on any of the rolls. I was satisfied. A great sushi place that I'd be happy to come back to! read more

Great sushi spot for groups, solo, even kids. There's a separate section where no minors are allowed. Lots of options and food comes out quickly. Our server was so considerate telling us to order the happy hr price for sushi. Now it's good to know happy hr time and menu. Seating inside is spacious and tables are separated comfortably. Location is ideal next to the light rail station. read more

I've found a new favorite in Redmond! Given Momiji's selection of specialty rolls and their wide happy hour menu, there's no doubt I'll be a repeat customer. Three of us came in on a Thursday at 4:30P. We had booked a reservation, but the restaurant was quiet at that time, so we probably would have been fine without it. The hostess pointed out the QR code for viewing the menu, but also asked if we'd like paper copies, which we opted for. It's way easier to read a physical menu and I appreciate that they had them available! Our waiter came by shortly after with complimentary edamame and filled our waters while we decided what to order. Note: Regarding the happy hour menu, our waiter confirmed that the hot food items from the "Kitchen" section are about 40% smaller compared to if we ordered them from the regular menu. The size of the rolls is not altered. + RTC ROLL ($22): Snow crab mix, avocado & cucumber topped w/ seared salmon, scallions, tobiko, sweet aioli, sweet chili & soy glaze. I love seared salmon, but between both the sweet chili and aioli, it was too sweet for my liking. This roll is on the saucier side whereas I wish the flavor of the seared salmon could have shined more. + MR. PERFECT ($22): Spicy tuna, cucumber, yamagobo & cilantro topped w/ 7-spice seared albacore, scallions & garlic ponzu. This one brought some serious heat! The tuna tasted super fresh, and I detected a mild bite from the cilantro which is generally a unique sushi ingredient. The scallions added a refreshing element as well. It was my favorite item of the night! + GRILLED GARLIC SHORT RIBS ($13 HH): Six kalbi short ribs were marinated in a garlic-soy sauce and topped with green onion. They were tender and had the perfect charred flavor. Any flavor of garlic was quite subtle and the sauce tasted to me like sweet soy, but it was delicious nonetheless. + CRISPY CALAMARI ($9 HH): The calamari was hot and crispy with a light batter. A dip in the green curry aioli added umami and a bit of tang. It also came with a small side of greens tossed in a sweet aioli. I could have eaten the whole thing myself! We also ordered a Spider Roll ($10 HH), California Roll ($9 HH) and Shrimp Tempura Roll ($9 HH). The California Roll actually contained real snow crab, not the imitation filling that I assumed. Across the board, all the rolls we ordered had a pretty thin layer of rice and generous amount of filling. They are worth the value. Service was exceptional. In addition to a warm welcome, we were checked on consistently. One waiter kept our waters topped off (I don't think they ever even reached half-empty!) and picked up our plates as we finished them. Our short ribs and calamari were served first as appetizers, so our main waiter offered us new plates before all of our sushi came out. Talk about perfect timing! I enjoyed the elevated casual ambience of the restaurant and the tables in the main dining area have adequate spacing between them, making it comfortable overall. The lighting was on the dimmer side, except for just a small lamp on the table. Can't wait for my next visit! read more

Stopped by Momiji for a quick happy hour today and had a great experience. The space is inviting, with both a lively bar area and comfortable seating. The complimentary edamame was a nice touch to start. We ordered the Redmond Breeze and a beer, along with a veggie roll and veggie tempura. Everything came out super quickly and tasted fresh and delicious. The happy hour pricing is definitely a great deal, and parking was very convenient. It would be even better to see more vegetarian roll options on the happy hour menu, but overall, a solid spot for a quick and satisfying bite! read more

Stunning. Was staying in the area with a friend and we had heard of their other location so we were excited to see they had a spot in Redmond! Table for 2 around 7pm without a reservation was no issues. They give you a nice plate of edamame to start which was awesome!! No drinks for us that evening but obviously had to get some crispy tuna rice and these were massive!!! Super delicious. For the main we shared 3 rolls and had about half a roll leftover which was still delicious the next day. Stunning food! read more

So glad Momiji has made a home on the eastside, making it easier for me to check out this spot since I rarely go to Seattle these days. It's a win for us, eastsiders. This location is specifically in downtown Redmond, right next to the 2 Line, making it accessible without a car. But there is plenty of street parking around and is walking distance to Redmond Town Center. We visited Momiji for dinner on a Saturday night and the place was pretty busy. I love the vibe here, with a modern, sleek aesthetic in a new building, reminding me of its Capitol Hill location. It makes for a great date spot, with a separate, bright bar near the entrance and dim lighting in the dining area. My partner and I ordered the black cod miso entrée and the chirashi bowl. Everything was delicious, but the black cod miso plate was fantastic. The cod was perfectly cooked and I absolutely loved the chanterelle mushrooms that it came with in the miso sauce. Chirashi bowl was solid with thick cuts of raw fish. I would love to come back and explore more of the menu. read more

I cannot believe this place is in Redmond, I genuinely feel like it's straight out of West Hollywood or something! The vibes are incredible. Dimly lit, lots of art and arches, plants, absolutely gorgeous. Nothing like it on the Eastside. The drinks are amazing. They don't just have cocktails, they are ART. Absolutely incredible. The food is amazing tooo! We got a roll with truffle roe and it was to die for. Super creamy and fresh. Also tried the Redmond Way Roll, which was crunchy and fresh. The crispy salmon bites were awesome too. The fish is so high quality and the prices are very reasonable. Our server was amazing! Helped us navigate gluten and peanut allergies, and was super on top of things. We sat in the cocktail lounge and it was such a cool vibe. Already planning my next visit! read more

Thanks to the Yelp reviews, I parked at the parking lot that was attached to the restaurant. It's two hour validation at the front desk where you input your car license plate so don't forget to take a picture. I made reservations on open table on a weekday, same day. Restaurant was kind of empty but good vibes. My friend and I both got the $60 omakase. I got the sushi whereas she ordered sashimi. Food came out pretty quick. Good presentation, good sushi. Edamame was given as a free appetizer which was nice. Service was attentive, though too attentive in filling our waters. I probably take one sip and then my water is filled. It was a bit distracting even though I'm sure they did their best in being invisible, but I can see them coming. I would recommend not so many times to come around filling our water. After dinner, stop by salt and straw and they offer the same two hour validation at the parking structure. Can stay for awhile and browse the area. read more

Parking is complementary (maybe for 2 hours?) after signing into tablet at counter The calamari I wished was more fried (less soggy) but the portions were good. read more

My first time at momiji and it was the best date night spot! We sat in the lounge at the bar, it's so clean and perfectly lit, really calming/cool ambiance. I think our bartender's name was Miles and he was the best! Felt like we were dining with a friend. Super professional, great recs! Loved our shikoku cocktails! He was awesome!! Thank you, Miles !!! We LOVED the crispy rice with ahi, out of this world. All the sushi is so fresh and yummy. The 166th was also my favorite roll. We can't wait to come back! This location is amazing. read more

So firstly, I love the ambience and set up. Makes me forget I'm in Redmond. Customer service was also great. Parking is easy and location is nice. Secondly, the food is good but not great. I didn't really LOVE anything in particular and I had high expectations. We got the garlic short ribs, meh. A sashimi bowl, bad boy roll, and mochi desert. I would say the fresh fish was the best thing we had but you could get similar at Musashi at Redmond town center. The roll was eh, nothing really stood out. You'll probably have better luck order raw items versus hot dishes. I'll come back though and try more options. Love the lamps and greenery. read more

I was excited to see Momiji in Redmond pop up on Redmond Way. The atmosphere is genuinely lovely, modern, warm, and inviting. The restaurant is divided into two sections, a lively bar area and the main dining space. The bar itself looks great and is well stocked, and they offer a nice happy hour, which is always appreciated. A couple of things stood out immediately though. The flooring in the bar section was exceptionally slippery with the shoes I was wearing, a very popular brand, nothing unusual. I have had a severe ankle injury before, and I was honestly nervous walking across the floor. While staff might be accustomed to wearing shoes with more grip, customers will not necessarily know this ahead of time. It is something I would really encourage the owner to take a look at. For food, I was in the mood for tempura udon. The presentation was beautiful, and the tempura came with a few vegetables and two shrimp, which were nicely fried. However, I found the broth disappointing. It was not dashi forward and had a lot going on, including spinach, bok choy, and other greens that felt a bit unnecessary for this dish. After living in Japan, I have come to appreciate a clean, well balanced dashi broth that complements the tempura without overpowering it. The greens introduced that slightly astringent feeling spinach can leave on your teeth, which took away from the overall flavor. I also could not really detect much dashi, and I am not sure if soy was used, but the broth did not land for me. It may simply be their style, but it did not feel traditional, and I probably would not order it again. I also tried a salad that was described as having a ginger dressing, but the ginger flavor was very faint. Overall, I really want to love this place. The vibe is great, and there is a lot of potential. I will definitely come back to try other menu items, but I hope the udon broth and the slippery flooring are things the restaurant considers refining. The service was great and the ambiance felt nice and warm. I would definitely return, but not to order the udon. read more

I'm SO incredibly happy they're finally on the east side and secretly relieved they chose Redmond over Bellevue. If you're wondering what to order, just look at the rave reviews from their Seattle locations. The food is fantastic! My favorites are the tempura platter and the King Ghidorah roll. It's become our go-to spot since they've opened this location. The food is fresh and flavorful and they usually have something seasonal or new to try too, the ambiance is nice, the staff are friendly, parking is easy. So good! *disclaimer: photo is from the Capitol Hill location. read more

Lovely addition to the Redmond area, and located right near the Redmond light rail station. Great happy hour with quality food, reasonable prices, and great service -- that's a trifecta win in my book. When one of our dishes took a little longer to bring out, the server brought us two miso soups in the meantime, which was a really nice touch. Sashimi was fresh, and the drinks were very good as well. This one is going on our regular list! read more

The first thing that strikes you is that place is somewhat upscale. The ambience is great - very few other places in Redmond downtown will have such an amazing vibe. The places is located at the heart of Redmond downtown. If you have access to light rail, I would recommend just coming by light rail. That's the easiest. It is on the side of downtown Redmond station. Otherwise finding parking is not bad. But the best thing to know will be that you have parking acces for Momoji - you just need to specify your license number at the reception and you can pretty much park in the building. I tried Spicy Tuna Sushil Roll. It was average. I was not impressed. It was like it was taken out of a fridge and served cold. On the other hand Yakisoba Noodles were amazing. Such a great blend of flavours. The chicken pieces had amazing sauce cover. And some of the things in the noodles went super well - such as red garlic strips. The only feedback will be to not include items on their menu that they don't care about making fresh. The roll was a disappoint - even more so because it was like cold cold - not even at room temperature. I am sure there are othe sushi rolls on their menu which would be better. Otherwise both service and ambience were excellent. read more

We were able to walk in and sit easily at 5:45 on a weekday. The good: Yakisoba, tempura veggie medley of options, yellowtail sushi The bad: Sushi roll, rainbow tower The meh: out of menu item before 6pm Lots of servers constantly on the move and making sure water is filled, but our table server didn't come around after dropping food until it was time for the check. We haven't been here before and it seems very sushi forward with tons of fried and spicy options. I enjoyed the flavor of my yellowtail sushi fish. The salmon avocado roll was disappointing all around--nothing had any flavor to it and the dry nori made it inedible. I found the creamy hotate to just taste like mayo. The sushi rice has no flavor at all, and between the roll and the sushi bite, the seaweed was tough and dry and what was left to chew for any bite. The sushi tower was not well cut with partially minced pieces thrown together with brown spotted and fresh avocado. My honey loved his chicken yakisoba, no notes. He loved the gingery-soy sauce and the tender fried chicken pieces and combo of veggies. I enjoyed the mixture of tempura veggies (shishito, okra!, sweet potato, zucchini, squash, red bell pep) and would ask for a no-shrimp option in the future, as the shrimp didn't have any flavor to me. The sauce was also very light tasting. The vibe was like eating on a loud set design for a life size doll house--very different interior combination. We would come back for the chicken yakisoba and tempura, def not for sushi. read more

Wonderful service (although my first cocktail took 15 minutes. I got the mezcal special of the day cocktail, and it was excellent but also 90% ice. While I loved the huge ice ball from a decor standpoint, I would have preferred more cocktail as I felt like I was shorted. I ended up drinking three (guess they got my money) and I think the three equaled one normal sized cocktail. I'm not a big drinker either, so the fact that I had no buzz whatsoever helped prove these were tiny tiny drinks. But they were VERY tasty and a beautiful pink color. Noise/ambiance: The music didn't fit. It was loud techno music and it was distracting. I heard the next table comment on how they didn't like it as well. My maki rolls were okay. Honestly, I thought they'd be better. The royal casino I got was coated in the shishito peppers, which didn't have much flavor. I wish the peppers had been marinated or given some flavor or a sauce. It isn't a roll I'd recommend. My other two were okay. read more

To say I was excited to have a Momiji on this side of the water was an understatement. I used to go frequently when living on the other side, so was excited to try out the new location in Redmond, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. It is a huge space with a very cool, cozy bar at the front. Lots of different tables/booths and good seating at the sushi bar. The sushi rolls are very generous portions and as usual, absolutely delicious. We even tried the strawberry habanero roll, and I will be getting that again. Our server was great and provided good recommendations. read more

Delicious sushi rolls. Came with friends who knew what they were doing because they're regulars and we just let them take the wheel.

Went here with family and had a great time! This is a VERY aesthetic restaurant -- the interior is tastefully decorated, and their main room is designed so that it looks outdoors (even though it's indoors!). I especially thought the cloud vibes were cute. :) The food was also super yummy, and the quality of the sushi was very fresh. There were three of us and two rolls plus an appetizer was just the right amount for all of us to feel full. Definitely get a reservation though, because on a Friday night this place fills up. read more

There is a restaurant with a new location in Redmond. This restaurant is going to be a hit. The location is in the center of Redmond near the Redmond Town Center with validated parking in the same building as the restaurant. When you walk up to the restaurant has a modern flair and yet welcoming feel. There is a bar with traditional bar stools but also with tables. The main dining room is quite tranquil and serene and yet still carry the same modern feel. The music in the background matches the vibe of the establishment. The service is efficient and friendly. No question ever seems too much for the staff. On to the important part, the food. We had the Yakisoba noodles which as a very large portion with all the good flavors and texture that one would expect from a restaurant of this class. The Domburi and Chirashi bowls were done up with great care in the appearance and flavors. The textures of the fish was on par with some of the best in the Northwest. The Poke rolls were a good sized portion and with flavors that all blended well and yet discrete flavors were all there. The pricing here is good and when you get your bill at the end of the meal, you feel like you got your money's worth. I have been looking for a place like this for quite a while and now I do not have to go into Seattle for this quality. I would definitely recommend this place to try. read more

I am writing this review specifically because of the Yaki Udon with Chicken. I'm not sure how you managed to create a dish that is both overly salty and overly sweet at the same time. The chicken's breading was soggy, and its sweet flavor simply didn't go well with the rest of the dish which was like a salt bomb. The 2 stars are for the sushi rolls which were decent. read more

The nigiri tasted fresh and the jupiter roll was delicious!

First time dining at this new Japanese restaurant in Redmond. The sushi was delicious, and their unique miso soup--with a few steamer clams--was a standout. I would have given 5 stars, but I didn't care for the chicken karaage. It was fried and then served in a watery sauce, which made it soggy. That said, there are many other dishes worth trying. The service was actually a little too attentive. Even though we had a reservation, we felt rushed. Our server kept coming back for our order before we had time to read the menu. We ordered a drink and asked for a few minutes, but he returned every couple of minutes. Once we did order, the food came out almost immediately. When we ordered a second drink, we were told another reservation was coming in soon, which made us feel like we needed to leave. I was under the impression that a reservation typically allows about an hour to dine. We spent over $100 in less than 30 minutes, which felt rushed. That said, I would go back to try more dishes--I wouldn't let one server shape my overall opinion. read more
