    Unassuming location
    Ike R.

    I ordered a carry out on a Monday evening. It was not super busy. Momo is in a strip of shops across from Whole Foods. It has a few tables, but looks like it also does a large carryout business. This is not my first time here. I had the rainbow roll, an osinko roll order of salmon nigiri. It was ready in 15 minutes. The person who took and gave me my order was helpful. The nigiri comes with two pieces per order and the oh Cinco roll was much bigger than many other places. I was so hungry I couldn't wait to get home to eat so I grabbed a piece of the Cinco roll and ate it in the car. It's just the daikon radish with rice and seaweed as I mentioned, it was larger than most other places. It was very good. Actually all of it was very good . The rainbow roll came with crab salad and had the usual fish on top. Everything tasted fresh and I couldn't have been happier.

    Before I decided on this place, I checked with the yelp community. This is a small little spot in a shopping center. You walk in find a seat and then the server brings the menu. The food was absolutely delicious. Service is not slow at all. The food came out shortly after the appetizer so just something to be aware of. The service was good. It was timely.

    Sashimi Deluxe!

    Check out the size of these sashimi pieces in their deluxe entree! Plus delicious rolls -- including a spicy tuna-based Fireball roll. Another hidden plus: whole pots of different teas to choose from --- green, black, genmai, rooibos. Add friendly service, unpretentious setting = great value. Thank you, Momo!

    Overall quality of food was good. service was quite slow unfortunately, but they were very nice. Wish the bibimbap had larger pieces of meat.

    Odd roll ingredient choices.
    Doris C.

    If you have to read or follow the advice of any of my reviews, please let it be this one. I am an anonymous food critic writing under a pseudonym. I take my reviews very seriously, but this one more than most. I'll start with the one positive: the servers are kind and responsive. _________________________________________ Foreword: A significant portion of sushi restaurants in the contiguous US are Korean-owned, inspired, and operated. I have no problem with this in general. Momo falls under this category. Being a Korean sushi restaurant as opposed to a Japanese one doesn't change how I rate my experience there. Momo sushi is an abysmal establishment. Its positive reviews are certainly to be taken with a grain of salt. First off, the menu is downright confusing and mildly blasphemous. There are more appetizers than roll options, for one. Around half of the available rolls are baked or fried, and the more traditional sushi rolls (I acknowledge that the sushi roll itself isn't a traditional preparation to begin with, yet compared to the rest of the menu, it's a tame term) are few and far between. Odd pairings and ingredient choices galore. A spider roll with a wine sauce, a baked roll with scallops and CHEDDAR CHEESE (fish and cheese?), a baked roll with lettuce??? Baked lettuce? Read the menu, the roll combinations are just odd, off-putting, and overly complex. The table was not wiped before we sat down. Covered in sticky residue, but I let it slide. Someone probably just really enjoyed their sushi, so if anything, I was just looking forward to seeing what the hype was about. They give complimentary miso soup which is a great touch of service, but for some reason the soup came in a fridge-cold bowl covered in cold condensation, which cooled the hot soup to room temperature before it could be finished. I ordered the squid bomb (reason for name coming later) expecting a lightly battered karaage or tempura style squid. The batter on the squid was almost like high-grit sandpaper in texture, I believe the squid was battered and then frozen because the sandpaper texture and thin batter probably comes from the starches having absorbed liquids and then expanded in the freezer. The texture of the squid itself was grainy, another factor that points away from freshness. Just sad, honestly. So I'd say the Squid Bomb is less of a name for the dish and more of a creative foreshadowing to the result of consumption. The two rolls that were finally settled on were the Mexican roll and the Fireball roll. I asked the waiter what made the Mexican roll "Mexican", and she told me not even their Mexican chef knew. There wasn't a single thing about the roll that correlates to Mexican cuisine or culture. It was a fried roll that was abhorrently greasy, the attempt at tempura resulted in just a limp oily foam. I couldn't believe my mouth that I could be served something like this. Again, maybe the roll is twistedly named in relation to the result of consumption. The fireball roll was going to be Momo's saving grace, as it was the most tame "creative" roll on the menu. Unfortunately, it was just not prepared in a way that would warrant a positive dining experience. A roll with sriracha usually implies it's drizzled on top over the length of the roll. Unfortunately, the fireball roll features a large glob of sriracha on each piece, used to hold the tobiko in place. So yes, fireball indeed. You could pay 99% less money and eat spoonfuls of sriracha in your darkened living room and be happier with more money in your pocket. As I walked out of the restaurant, one of the sushi chefs was handling his phone with gloved hands. Those gloves will touch your sushi. You just can't make this stuff up. Sushi chefs handle some of the most delicate ingredients hundreds of times more frequently than any other cook at the majority of restaurants in the world. Sushi is an art that requires a connection to a methodology and integrity informed by culture and tradition. Please trust my review and my experience. This restaurant is not worth your time nor money. I now sit on my porcelain throne in regret.

    Tuna Lover Cupbop
    Han N.

    I really appreciate that they offer gluten-free options and are very considerate of food allergies. I've ordered through Uber Eats for pickup and delivery; it's very good and consistent every time! My favorite is the Tuna Lover Cupbop, which is like a poké bowl. It comes with plenty of toppings and greens on top of very well cooked sushi rice. I also get the spicy sauce, which is like a spicy mayo. This is my favorite place to get a poké bowl in Ann Arbor, and it sets the standard for me. The staff are always very friendly and helpful. The restaurant has some seating available and a little area to wait for your order to be ready.

    Lunch Dine-In Special - Combination 2 Rolls (Spicy Tuna Roll, Salmon Avocado Cucumber Roll)
    Linda I.

    Good sushi, good value! Stopped in for a quick lunch and opted for a dine-in special. Got a combination of two sushi rolls ($11 pre-tax and tip) - Spicy Tuna and Salmon, Avocado, Cucumber. Pretty classic rolls. Came out quickly and was tasty. Quality and freshness of fish was good. Amount of fish and ratio with rice was good too. Nicely executed simple rolls! And this was plenty filling for lunch. Will say that the Spicy Tuna is actually a little spicy! I liked it, but if you can't handle spice at all, just know it's a little spicier (think it's a sriracha based spicy mayo) than other places. No frills but clean ambiance with a good amount of seating for dine in. Friendly service and easy parking!

    Ordered some take out from here for the second time now. place is easy to find, looked a little crowded and tight inside. Food was just okay, not sure I'd order from them again. Flavor was there but for me it was the old rice, it was pretty hard and easy to tell that it was old, and not fresh rice. The rolls literally all broke, not one stayed together. I wanted to give them a second chance and they did not deliver for the second time now.

    The Michigan Roll is to die for so so good. Rest of the sushi were tasty too. They have reasonable price and great service! Will go back

    My husband & I dropped in for dinner after a quick Christmas shopping trip at Briarwood Mall. The place is small, but clean and we were able to get a table right away. The staff was friendly and the service was good. We started out with an order of pork gyoza, which came out quickly. They were hot and crispy, but a little underwhelming. For dinner, we were intrigued by the "sushi burritos" on the menu. We love sushi and poke bowls, but have never tried anything like that. When we asked what the difference was, our server said they are the same, but the burritos are larger. The Fireball Burrito was actually a dollar cheaper than the Fireball Sushi Roll, so I gave it a try. It was tasty, but I think I'd go with the sushi roll next time as it just didn't feel like sushi eating it like that. I think I prefer the bite-size pieces and the crunch lost its crunch when mixed in like it was. My husband tried the Dragon Burrito and he enjoyed it, but felt eating it burrito-style was definitely messier! Overall, we felt like the food was good and the prices were reasonable. This is a casual and quick place to go for some fairly priced sushi (and sushi-like) dishes.

    Spicy California roll with sauce from the monster roll
    Janet H.

    First I from Maryland (DC/MD/VA=DMV) was rooting for this food to be delicious. Missed lunch so ordered to go: spicy tuna shrimp roll spicy salmon shrimp roll spicy California roll House Salad monster roll The pictures are attached. The salad had to be tossed it was too welted. All of rolls were doused in sauce except the spicy California roll. I have NEVER had or was ever served totally sauced sushi rolls before. Is this just the area I'm in? Rolls are to be served in the freshest simplest form and sauce if any should be on the side. It's weird to have sushi rolls sauced up seriously slathered in it. The fish, tuna and salmon, did not have a fishy smell, so that's a good thing. The ginger and wasabi was bland like it wasn't fresh or had been exposed to air and lost its taste. However I did do a quick microwave before I ate it sigh... Sorry for the rant aka review, but just not my bowl of rice...

    Grabbed a Dragon Roll Burrito for the kid. We walked in to order. The staff is friendly and it was a clean establishment. There are tables to dine in, and you can even sit at the bar while they prepare the goodness. He was satisfied with his first sushi burrito. He did say he will order the regular rolls next time, the burrito was a little overkill for him, but he loved the taste and the concept!

    Tuna Tataki Salad; pretty yummy!

The inside is so cute and the plates are so pretty too! Not only are the physical dishes cool, but the presentation of the sushi was too! I got 2 orders of the simple tuna, and one New York. My sister got an order of the California rolls and 2 shrimp tempura orders. Presentation was fantastic, and the sushi was divine. The salmon was so tender and almost buttery in consistency, and the veggies inside the rolls are so fresh and crisp. I always find sushi so refreshing and it hit the spot. I'd also like to mention how fantastic they are about dietary restrictions. Tons of vegan/vegetarian options PLUS GLUTEN FREE SOY SAUCE, APPS, AND A MENU. For the celiacs out there: I didn't get glutened! They took it seriously and I had no issues! If you're not sure where to go, go to Kanbu.

The quality of the food is still amazing and worth a visit, but there were some items I wish stayed on the menu. For example, the spicy salmon crispy rice is no longer available and only available in the tuna form. The portions are also smaller, now coming in three small bites rather than the two big bites from before. The gochujang rigatoni and kimchi paella are also unavailable. Some new dishes I tried and loved were the short rib and the grilled octopus. The octopus was incredibly tender and I couldn't stop eating it! It also comes with delicious potatoes. The short rib was a larger portion and also tasted delicious. The rest of my table ordered the miso cod. The miso cod was delicious, but the portion was quite small and arguably not worth its price compared to the short rib. Cocktails that I recommend are The Gatsby and The Promised Neverland if you like sweeter drinks! For the service, we felt a bit rushed as we were dining. Normally the drinks come out followed by the appetizers, but our appetizers came first and the drinks came with our mains. I think there was a missed opportunity to sip on our drinks and chat with our party as we enjoyed the restaurant's ambience. Otherwise, the food came quickly and was well served.

It was restaurant weekend in downtown Ann Arbor and we didn't have a reservation, so we obliged, although the space was pretty empty. Once we got to the bar, the young waitress slammed menus down in front of us and acted extremely annoyed by our presence. After bothering us every minute for the next 5 minutes to order, me and my friend put in our orders in haste. We then waited for 30 minutes for our meals to arrive. I got the "Amazing Shrimp" sushi roll and my friend got the "Grilled Angus Short Rib". As noted on the menu it comes with Mashed Potatoes, Shishito Peppers, and Garlic Chives. Per my friend's request, the order did not come with the Shishito Peppers or Garlic Chives, but it also didn't have the potatoes. After asking for the potatoes, our server went back and we could hear her yelling at the kitchen staff. Minutes later she came out with a bowl of 3 potatoes, not mashed and not hot. My roll was great and I'd definitely order again if I come back, but I'm honestly not too inclined to after this experience. Lastly, the restaurant itself was freezing. It was a cold day but it was way colder inside than it should've been. We ended up keeping our coats on for most of dinner. I really do want to like it here because the vibe seemed very modern and clean, however the service, food, and level of professionalism fell short of my expectations.

There have been some hit-or-misses with the quality of the fish but, I'm Japanese and, for me, "Japanese cuisine" is a lot more than raw fish and their kitchen (as opposed to the sushi bar) has always been reliable. Not so much anymore. :( I had dinner there recently on a Friday night. Ordered the tempura appetizer and 8-9 pieces of sushi a la carte. I asked the waitperson to make sure there was grated daikon for the tempura (I've had to ask before and the tempura was cold by the time they brought it, so I was planning ahead...) I was informed that not only do they not serve it with tempura, there's simply no daikon anywhere in the restaurant to grate. Seriously? First, how does a Japanese restaurant not have any daikon?? Second, if you serve tempura, this is a necessary condiment; it's akin to not having ketchup for a burger. I opted to have fried oysters instead and they were fine. The nigiri sushi I was served *looked* beautiful. Huge pieces of fish, nicely arranged. I'm not sure why Japanese restaurants here think "bigger is better" when it comes to sushi. Nigiri sushi is intended to be eaten in ONE comfortable bite instead of having to try to bite it in half only to have it disintegrate awkwardly all over the table. Why not offer two nigiri pieces per order that's reasonably (and correctly) sized? And then there's the sushi rice. I'm not convinced that the sushi chefs there understand that what makes it "sushi" isn't the fish (or the fancy rolls) -- it's the rice. Sushi rice is supposed to be flavored, while it's steaming hot, with a sugar-vinegar-salt mixture ("sushi su"), which is what keeps the rice moist and sticky in order to keep its shape, and also provide a foil for the fish. Whenever a sushi piece falls apart, it usually means (other than the fact that it's too big) that it's not properly seasoned. It should also never be cold. My simple meal plus a serving of sake, with tip came to almost $100. That's not unreasonably high for a Japanese sushi meal but I think I should be able to count on it being made correctly.

The dynamite crab roll and the ultimate spicy tuna roll keep me up at night they are so good. I live in Chicago now and ask to come back every year for my birthday when I visit my family lol.

    Did I miss the golden age of this restaurant according to reviews? Not sure, but we really enjoyed…read moreour time here on our visit. I saw so many people posting about this place on Insta and decided to come out and see if it was worth the hype. It was very worth the hype, the food was absolutely delicious! Due to wanting to try everything, as always, I ordered tons and way too much and ended up with several boxes, bags, and meals. I had a couple drinks, I think they were the x-rated passion and the pear sakitini. They were good, very floral. We started with their soup and salad, which were standard and good. We had so much salad, I did box it up for a couple more meals. Then we tried the crispy chicken buns. They were so good. Since I had so much to eat, we each got one, and it took me two days to finish mine. The chicken was crispy, and I like how the bun was fluffy but also a bit crispy on the outside. We also tried their iconic tuna nachos. The chips were really good. I would have loved a wanton chip instead, as other places do it, but the tuna was so buttery. It was almost as good as the tuna in Hawaii and French Polynesia. I liked to roe and avocado, which was also so creamy. We had a couple sushi rolls. We got the spider roll. It was so crispy and very well make, and the California roll with the kani salad and avocado, no cucumber, which perfect since child hates cucumbers and normally picks them out. It was very fresh and delicious. We also tried their wagyu burger and fries. I personally cannot tell the difference between types of beef, but it was an extremely flavorful, well-cooked burger. We split it in three, and it took a few days to finish my portion. The real star from that meal was the tempura French fries, they were so good and crispy, and very unique. Those are really a must order. We also tried the teriyaki chicken and broccoli. We recently had some very mediocre teriyaki chicken, and I was afraid it was going to taste like that looking at the dish, but it was not. It was so well cooked and flavorful and so was the veg, don't judge a meal on it's looks. It was worth ordering again. But the real, real reason why I was here was for their famous flying lobster noodles. That was really worth the drive. Their noodles were smokey and flavorful, and a large portion it took several meals and three people to finish it. I liked the addition of shrimp with the lobster and it was not fishy, so those of us who do not eat fish could still enjoy the noodles. That is something I would order every time. Funny, I did not realize both of their children were on Food Network, but I did watch those shows at the time. I hear the noodles were in honor of the daughter's show, so thanks for allowing us to taste your amazing looking dish. On the other hand, the service was really only fair. I read other reviews and while the servers were good, they did not really seem to want to engage with us verbally or talk to us. They were very lukewarm at best, even though the rest of their service was great. They were attentive, but not friendly. I do want to come back and order it all over again and then some, so I hope to return soon. This was a really fun place.
