Who knew you could get decent sushi in Pendleton, Oregon? Pleasantly surprised by my experience.

I truly enjoyed my visit! I was pleasantly surprised how good the foods are. Considering how far the place from the water, the fishes are fresh and delicious. Service is good, and the ambience is nice. I will be back again when I visit the area. read more

Excellent sushi. Who would have thought in Pendleton Oregon?! Came in on a Friday around 1pm. Restaurant was kind of empty, but there were a couple of servers and a couple of guys behind the sushi bar. They have a huge menu. So many items to choose from. Sushi and hibachi. And a good lunch menu, but I didn't order off of that. Service was good, but I felt like I waited a long time to finally get my check. Tables and restaurant were clean, but the woman's bathroom had a horrible smell. Got in and out very quickly. Not too far off the freeway so I'd definitely consider it as a stop for future road trips to Portland. read more

This place is so nice and welcoming. Alex and Eddy welcome you like you are family. The food is very good. I always seem to order the Pendleton Roll and shrimp and mango roll. Alex always remembers my order too. You should give it a try even if you don't like sushi. My husband does not but they have steak and chicken dishes too. Give it a try. read more

Had the Pendleton roll and it was fantastic! Highly recommend. Will be returning when I am in the area again.

Quality of the fish: Always good, occasionally fantastic. Value: Well priced for non coastal sushi given the quality. Aesthetic: Clean, well decorated dining aesthetic, food presentation is great. Service: Good, not stellar (but I've yet to see stellar service in Pendleton). Servers are always friendly and competent. Only complaint would be that few know sushi well (Japanese names, sourcing etc). Ultimately very impressive. We frequent the establishment regularly (they are our favorite place in town for overall dining), and we hope they thrive and are around for the long haul. There is room for improvement, but they got the most important parts exactly right in my book. We've eaten there many now (and tried nearly everything on the menu, as well as had several things not on the menu), and never had a bad experience! I do wish they offered information on the sustainability of their sources. read more

While the food was good the service and price is not worth it. I ordered a roll and it was small 8 tiny pieces and for $14 it came out to nearly $2 a piece! We also ordered the chicken udon which was so incredibly flavorful. Again it was $13 but a decent portion. I'd likely avoid the sushi if I were to come here again just because of the price and size. However, that udon is calling my name. read more

This is one of my family's favorite places to eat! They have an amazing lunch special, so we usually come for lunch. The service is always great and the food is even better. My husband always gets the spicy tuna roll, the california roll, or the Philadelphia roll. I get the Veggie Wonderland roll and the chicken tempura roll since I'm not a huge fan of fish. Also, their fried rice is to die for. We highly recommend this place if you're looking to fill up on some delicious food without feeling yucky stuffed! read more

Are you visiting and thinking that maybe - just maybe - this place can deliver fresh, delicious, real sushi? You are right! The ONLY negative reviews for this place are from people who think $6 is too much to pay for two pieces of nigiri (??!!), folks who ordered teriyaki, or folks who wanted super fast service in the middle of Eastern Oregon (I love the servers, not sure what reviewers were complaining about). Look for yourself through the reviews. They truly have fresh fish - where you can even get nigiri without hesitation (I have had both salmon and tuna nigiri after trying out the fried Ocean Roll which had actual salmon - not spicy salmon) I have lived in several cities and am VERY picky about sushi. I now live in Portland and only eat at Yoko's on Gladstone in SE Portlnd and Momiji in Pendleton. I had heard the hype about Tokyo Bistro in Coos Bay and it was NOT good - this a different story entirely!! If you go and enjoy it, be sure to Yelp it too - they deserve your support. read more

I was very pleased when I heard about a sushi Resturant opening in Pendleton Oregon. I had to go and try. The outside is a little rough but the owners bought it in the winter and are just know starting to clean the outside so don't judge it by that. The inside is very nice, very traditional and the food is fantastic. The presentation too the service and price where all just right. I have to say it puts the rest of the restaurants in town to shame. Some people think it just raw fish but they would be wrong sashimi is the raw fish, which the quality they are getting is very high. The sushi is the rice, most people are confused by that. They also have a wide range of other choices including filet mignon and steak and shrimp. Don't hesitate too go in and try the food I give them five stars and for me as a chef says a lot.

the one male server they have,is completely mean and demands a tip. as a costumer you look at all the possible possibilities of how much they get as a tip on how respectful they are,food quality and restaurant cleanliness. but the night i left no tip due to ants all over the table and in all of our drinks. and him being rude. he decided to ask if i was "American" bc i left no tip because i was unsatisfied. Now coming in after that night,whenever he drops off everyone's checks he'll demand we tip. and with that attitude i won't leave anything. not impressed. Amazing food but horrible attitudes from the server. read more

Excellent sushi! We tried the Pendleton roll, Blue Mountain roll, and casino roll and all were delicious, but especially the first two. The service was really great too. We went early (5:30 pm) so it wasn't too busy yet even though it was a Friday. Try it! read more

Momiji Sushi & Hibachi - Golden roll - Japanese Near Me - Pendleton, Oregon

I feel really bad for the unfavorable review I'm giving this place because everyone who worked there was really nice. That said, the food was awful. Like, I couldn't finish one thing that I ordered awful. The "green salad" was a bowl of wet iceberg lettuce covered in a sweet mayonnaise. My salmon avocado roll was kind of... warm? My spicy salmon roll was really fishy tasting in a way that salmon typically is not. The vegetable gyoza were filled with a flavorless mixture that seemed to be mushy rice and edamame. My husband's dumpling soup okay, just a bit boring. He also had salmon nigiri which was also... kinda warm. I'm just hoping that we don't get sick... read more

I've been to a lot of sushi establishments around the country and this is one of the top. Rolls are fresh and well made. I'd also recommend the Dumpling soup. read more

This place was clean and nice. It's probably the best you're going to get in Pendleton for sushi (sorry, i'm a sushi snob from CA - it's hard for me to give anyone four stars, and almost impossible to get five stars our of me). Fish was of decent quality and the chef's put together a beautiful presentation. Staff was courteous and helpful. This was a great find in Eastern Oregon. I will go back the next time i come through. read more

Ordered teriyaki and fried rice for dinner this evening. Was hands down the WORST I've ever had. Far to salty and the portions were meager at best. Won't make that mistake again. Mitori Teriyaki is a far better choice! Unfortunately, they were closed today. read more

I try something different every time we go. My wife loves the Dragonfly roll .The Volcano roll is yummy also. The service is friendly and fast. I will return often. read more

This place is a bit pricey but considering the location it is understandable. The sashimi was incredibly fresh and the sushi rolls are excellent. I was pleasantly surprised by this find. The deep fried cheesecake is an interesting desert, it's definitely worth a try though I would split it with two. Service is a bit slow but the atmosphere alleviates the discomfort of the wait. My only complaint are the booths, these things are hard and incredibly uncomfortable. If you come try to get a chair. read more

The food was good but the service was GREAT! Our server was Kyndel and she definitely brought her A game. She was quick, pleasant, intuitive, and accurate. We will absolutely eat here again. read more

My family and I decided to check this place out while passing through. We order some appetizers, sushi, and a dinner combo. The appetizers came out fast and were great, coconut shrimp and pork pot stickers. The sushi was made fast and looked beautiful! We waited a bit for my salmon and shrimp plate and were disappointed. With the great, fresh sushi, how could you serve frozen salmon and shrimp?? Knowing by taste that it was frozen was turn off. Definitely come here for the sushi, apps, and nice atmosphere. read more

I am only giving three stars because my other half liked his sushi. Super slow service. Pleasant waitress but she didn't speak English very well. It looked like she was practicing writing something over and over at her workstation facing away from where the orders come up. Sushi rice was a little hard and nori was too thick for my taste but the other ingredients were good. Not sure if I would return. read more

The wife may be back and I will not if I can help it. The wife had, Calamari, Miso Soup, Tempura Shrimp and Vegetables and Salad. She said it was o.k. I had Tempura Shrimp and Vegetables, Miso Soup, and Salad. The salad was o.k. but the dressing was really to sweet for my taste buds. The soup to me was also on the sweet side, and I am not a Tofu lover anyway. The Tempura Shrimp was not cooked in the proper temperature of oil since it came out greasy and the breading was soggy and mushy. The Tempura batter was bland with no seasoning . The bill for this feast was $36.00 I was going to kill the flavor or the Shrimp with Cocktail Sauce, but they did not have any. read more

Good food, extremely slow service. They don't check on you and even forgot to take my husbands order. We had a large party and they brought separate orders of sushi out on plates together. Food was and always is pretty good though read more

Expensive for what you get and they dont know anything about sushi! I asked for creamy scallop and they had no idea what it was. Got our miso and salad after we finished our Sushi Sorry wont be back. Taste of the raw fish was very good just 6.00 for two small pieces the size of your thumb. read more
