What can I say that I haven't said already. Food consistency is always the best in town . Quality you can taste on any item of the menu. Love the ambiance . Clean and welcoming.

Wow, did not expect this when I first saw the exterior of the venue but again, don't judge a book by its cover. The restaurant is located in an older lot, next to another older Asian restaurant. But when you walk in, it's beautiful. Service is also good. Upon entering all give you a warm Japanese greeting. We ordered the muscles, cucumber salad, veggie tempura, spicy tuna over crispy rice, and teriyaki chicken bento box. The presentation for all of the food we ordered was beautiful and neat. All were good but the muscles and the cucumber salad were my favs. Omg! The muscles! I loved the flavor. I loved how they delicately cut the muscles so that you get a piece of muscle in every bite. I know cucumber salad sounds simple...but they cut the cucumbers nice and thin with a mandolin and the vinaigrette was just light and fresh! It was so good! Only downside is the price. It's pretty pricey...$8 for the cucumber salad and $29 for the bento box and this was lunch. But all the food was good at least! It would be different if it did not taste good. Will be back again!

Food 5/5 My first impression was that the fish was high quality, I was happy to see that the rolls didn't include imitation crab. The sushi was delicious and practically melted in my mouth. The rolls are a bit on the smaller side; usually one roll fills me up, but here I had to order two. I also really enjoyed the miso soup. The edamame was good, though a little too salty for my liking. Customer Service 5/5 Customer service was excellent! Our waitress was super friendly and welcoming, and I loved that she gave great recommendations. She really knew the menu, which is always a plus and so helpful when ordering, especially at a new spot. Loved, loved, loved it! Ambience 5/5 I was shopping at the thrift store next door and never expected the inside of this place to be so nice. It's a hidden little gem, the interior is beautiful, clean, and thoughtfully put together! Cleanliness 5/5 Super clean during my visit ! Wait Time 5/5 We were seated immediately, and since it wasn't busy at first, our food arrived quickly. Once it got a bit busier, the wait was longer, but still completely reasonable. Cost 4/5 It was a bit on the pricey side for the portion size, but considering the quality and flavor, it was understandable. Just keep in mind that rolls are around $20 each. Appetizers, like the spicy edamame, are $10, the miso soup was $4, and extras are listed on the back of the menu for an additional charge.

The fresh and delightful fish. The portions are perfectly proportioned. Great service Always a great time

My dad and I are sushi fanatics, and he told me about Momo but I was a little hesitant, because trying new places could be a hit or miss. Well one day we decided to try it and let me tell you........BEST DECISION WE EVER MADE! From the first bite the sushi LITERALLY melts in your mouth and explodes with flavor. It is unlike anything I've ever tried. This is now our go to sushi spot for special occasions and it its worth every cent. You can feel the love in the food. It truly is a gem!

First timer here! I had a wonderful experience! Omakase was really good! The price point is average for quality sushi. Omakase is a dining style where you trust your chef to choose the freshest ingredients and curate your dining experience. The chef didn't let us down! We usually bring a bottle of wine with us but the corkage fee was $25 so we opted to just get a bottle of their Sauvignon blanc. I forgot the name but it was in the $35-$40 range and I enjoyed it! Maybe a little too much as I was buzzed pretty quickly lol. The staff was nice and welcoming. I always recommend sitting at the bar. I love being able to chat with the chef and observe how he cuts fish and makes nigiri. The inside of the restaurant is clean and modern with sleek lines and simple yet elevated features. The ambiance was really nice. The appetizer plate was a great start. There were so many things on the plate and I must say my favorite was the cute little deep fried crab! It looked a little intimidating at first but it was love at first crunch. The fish was fresh. The sushi rice was made perfectly. The servings were nice. The chef even asked us if we were still hungry and he'd make us a hand roll. Usually I would want to try but I was stuffed! I finished the meal with matcha mochi ice cream. Yum! Can't wait to visit again!

Was in the area for Castlepark, and family was craving sushi. Out of the several options in the area, we found this location and it didn't disappoint. I wouldn't expect quality and tasty sushi out in Riverside, but this place exceeded my expectations. Each roll was made with attention to detail, good portions and fresh ingredients. Staff were friendly, and they mentioned whether we had made reservations. But we did not, and they were still able to get our party of 9 in with no problem. There is a separate side room good for larger parties as well as a huge group if needed. Decor is modern, and clean. Our server was wonderful, she was friendly, good at explaining the dishes, and was prompt with refilling our drinks or letting us know it's their last call. Cost is roughly $20+ for each roll, and they also offer an Omakase option which is pretty cool to see. This place is above the standard sushi places I've visited before, as each dish stood out and tasty.

Sushi lovers must try! This spot is the real deal. Skip the cheap, go to sushi spots around town and make Momo your next destination for all things sushi. Fresh. Fresh. Fresh. Loved everything we tried. And the service was great. Absolutely best sushi experience in Riverside.

I came here with my hubby around 8 PM on a Saturday night and it was fairly quiet. The atmosphere was pretty chill and you could see the sushi chefs making the food behind the counter which we appreciated. Even though it didn't close till much later, they were more focused on prepping for the next day, then providing good service. For example, we were never given any soy sauce, one of the rolls that we were excited for did not come with the sauce and the server mentioned something along the line of it no longer coming with it and that they were gonna phase out the menu, but he told us after we had ordered. Lastly, we were not offered refills on our water or soda as he was more focused on the football game on the screen. Onto the food we had the edamame with garlic and truffle oil. It was addictively good because of the saltines and the garlic flavor was very present, but what I didn't notice as much was the truffle. I would not let that deter you from ordering it as it was still very delicious and we finished the whole plate. They were out of the oysters when we came in, which was pretty unfortunate but we did end up getting the Shishito peppers as another side. In my opinion they needed a little bit of acidity and salt, but otherwise they were OK. The miso soup tasted fresh but it was lacking toppings. I got one little piece of tofu. The two rolls that we had were pretty fresh and that was the most enjoyable part of the meal we had the lemon roll and the Momo special. Our favorite of the two was the lemon roll. It was refreshing and the tuna melted in your mouth. The momo special was okay and this was the roll that was missing the sauce. The soju bottle did come in a cute little barrel bucket but unfortunately, even that wasn't cute enough to save the overall meal.

An Unforgettable Omakase Experience with Chef Garu Hands down one of the best sushi omakase experiences I've ever had. Chef Garu is truly a master of his craft. Every course was thoughtfully prepared, impeccably fresh, and beautifully presented. You can immediately feel the passion and precision behind each bite. Chef Garu takes the time to explain the fish, the sourcing, and the technique, which makes the experience feel intimate and special rather than rushed. The balance of flavors, textures, and temperature was flawless--each piece melted in your mouth and somehow outdid the last. This isn't just a meal; it's an experience. From the warm hospitality to the attention to detail, everything was elevated. If you're a true sushi lover or looking for a memorable omakase, Chef Garu is an absolute must. Worth every penny, and I can't wait to return

I forgot to take pictures but the meal was really yummy! I like that they don't use imitation crab Service was great! And the restaurant had a nice ambiance. I would go back again to try more of their food!

Frist time here. The service was okay. We ordered a few different plates of fresh Sushi was very tasteful. Will definitely come back to try some other types of Sushi and Bento Plates. The prices were average. One of the better places in Riverside to eat fresh Japanese food.

Service here is awful. My husband and I decided to order a few premium rolls - specifically, the Momo Special, the Apple Protein, and the Lemon Roll. Those 3 rolls took almost half an hour to prepare (we came in on a Wednesday night; it was busy, but not slammed), and during this time, another waiter brought us some hot egg dish that we didn't order and had to come back and give it to the right table after we pointed this out to him. The only roll that I ate that was decent was the Lemon Roll - the other two were mediocre at best. (Also, the Momo Special comes with some weird sauce that adds absolutely nothing - and it was given to us after we'd already eaten about a 1/3 of the roll anyway.) We decided to order 3 more - the Black Dragon, the Sunshine, and Crispy Mini Lobster. Waitress took our order, and then one of the sushi chefs asked me if I wanted the lobster roll fried or baked. I told him baked and then the waitress shows up 5 min later informing me they're suddenly out of lobster. (Also, I find it strange that you can't talk to/order things directly from the chefs when you sit at the bar, too.) I told her to simply forget that roll, in that case, and then they proceeded to take another half an hour to create the remaining two rolls on our order. It took so long, in fact, that the waiter that brought us the dish we didn't order earlier had to stop by and check on us. Once again, the rolls we ate were nothing special. Each roll here is upwards of $20, so for that price I would expect the quality to be better. (Their omakase is $80 per person - even Sugarfish doesn't charge that much!) The only thing positive I can say is that their plating is nice - must be what takes so long. I think they're more concerned with people taking pictures to post to Instagram than the service or the taste. (Good luck getting reception in here, anyway - they have "free" wi-fi in exchange for your name and e-mail so they can spam you.) Oh, they also charge you for extra wasabi and ginger - something literally every single sushi bar I've ever been to my entire life gives you for free. Not at all worth your time or money - do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. read more

WOW! Absolutely delicious! This place is no joke. We were a party of 3. The place is small, but perfect. It's super clean and beautifully decorated. You can tell the owners put real care into their establishment. The service was wonderful and extremely helpful on figuring out what to order. So let's talk about the food!! We got the edamame for an appetizer. Delicious! Nice and warm with a hint of garlic and oil. We first tried the sashimi. We all 3 got different things to try. I got the sake toro (salmon belly) wow!! Again it was super smooth and soft. Didn't taste fishy and melted in my mouth. Person 2 got hon marguro toro (bluefin Spain) again, not fishy, melted and had divine taste. Person 3 got Aji (Spanish mackerel) WOW!! Not fishy, melted once again and had a nice little hint of heat. It really made the pieces stand out. The premium sushi rolls were next to try. We tried as many as we could. The Suggestions; momo special, lemon roll, rainbow roll, and tuna loves roll.(each roll is 8 pieces) Wow! Some of the best tasting rolls I've ever had. My personal favorite was the rainbow roll. Person 2's favorite was the tuna loves roll (this one is for you spicy roll lovers) it packed the heat, but a good heat. The 3rd person said the tuna loves was their favorite as well. Overall we had a wonderful experience. Do expect to pay a little more for quality fish. I would recommend anyone who is ready to try true sushi because this was absolutely delicious!! read more

Of course, it helped that my daughter had already announced that she was making bbq beef, Korean style, and that we were invited over. That got my salivary glands going. What could I bring? This mom and pop market popped up on Yelp as being nearby, and happened to be a place I had driven by and ignored for too many years. They cater to Korean tastes and appeared to have exactly what I needed, unlike another, oversized Chinese-based grocery nearby where I manage to get lost, confused, and lose all focus, while trying to communicate with hand gestures to elusive store personnel. Usually its comic and I am a complete failure. I was totally unprepared for this, but I think I fell in love with Saet Byul the minute I stepped inside. The lovely lady at the cash register (owner?) spoke impeccable English and was so friendly and informative. There was limited but fresh, quality produce, items that are traditionally used in this type of cuisine. There were multiple, large freezers that lined the walls, full of ready-made appetizers, ready-to-eat frozen soups, and ready-to-cook, thinly sliced meats. Shelves upon shelves of exotic Asian sauces and so many other canned, dry, and preserved ingredients. The more I wandered, the greater my excitement. Towards the back of the tiny store was a small kitchen setup where another woman was busily working. On what, I can only guess, but she might have been assembing more packages of the freshly rolled kimbap (the healthy, Korean version of sushi) that were sitting on the cashier's counter. In one refrigerator cabinet was a wonderful variety of ready-to-eat banchan, each carefully labeled and dated. The banchan was exactly what I was looking for! I chose a container each of freshly made seaweed salad, pickled radish, kimchi, pickled cucumbers, snatched a tub of green tea ice cream, and a bag of super fresh bean sprouts that would eventually be anointed with toasted sesame oil. Then tossed a tray of kimbap in my cart (Imagine getting two full rolls,18 fat pieces, for a mere $7), plus a bag of shrimp crackers for good measure. Oh, and don't forget a large bag of toasted, seasoned seaweed sheets for snacking. The banchan was outstanding, but don't take my opinion as gospel. This came from my son-in-law who usually turns up his nose to such "time-wasters" as vegetables, especially things that look spicy. The pickle cucumbers and pickled radish coins were particularly addictive, but all were so wonderful. I am thrilled over this discovery. The only shortcoming, but not really, is the lack of a butchery section and fresh seafood. For that, the big markets are still the place to go. For the rest of the necessities, this is a real gem.

But onto the food! FOOD Bun Bo Hue (Royal Noodle Soup) My girlfriend is a big Bun Bo Hue fan and absolutely loves it here! Not only that but it seems rather popular. I've yet to try it, maybe I'll try it out the next time I'm there but if you're a Bun Bo Hue fan, you should get yourself the Royal Noodle Soup! Salt & Pepper Tofu One of our go-to appetizers. There's something about it that's so addicting, maybe it's the light crunch, maybe it's the soft warm tofu inside but whatever it is, you'll find yourself possibly ordering another plate if you're feeling hungry! Chicken Ro-Ti with Tomato Rice (Com Ga Ro-Ti) I absolutely love this dish! Incredibly delicious, savory and quite filling actually! Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure I'm always ordering this whenever we visit lol! What can I say, I'm addicted so you should give it a try! Plus it's one of the crowd-favorites! It's always nice to visit Au Lac. Great atmosphere, extremely friendly employees with great customer service that don't overwhelm you by visiting your table every so often. Plenty of seating even when it gets busy. I also enjoy the fact that when it's someone's birthday, they sing you a happy birthday and EVERYONE (even the customers) join in, so it feels very wholesome. My experience every time we visit is always going to leave a smile on my face. Thank you everyone at Au Lac, we can't wait to visit again soon!

Their coffee, tea, and baked goods are fantastic, but the main reason I love this place is because it's very cozy and the perfect place to read, study, catch up with a friend, or go on a date. They have a special, themed menu that changes every month. There is almost always seating available. They have a small book exchange, often sell local art, have cute merch, and just opened up a bakery right next door with extra seating. I'm kind of a snobbish third-wave coffee person and although this place isn't trying to be that way, it still is my favorite spot because of the overall vibe, how genuinely kind and down to earth the baristas are, and how comfortable it is. A lot of coffee shops are so brightly lit and trying to be hipster still in 2026, but this place is just kind of homey and the classic cozy coffee shop we all want to go to. So if you're a hardcore coffee connoisseur and are looking for the highest quality coffee, this might not be your spot. If you're looking for something with yummy drinks and baked goods with a chill environment you'll be very comfortable in, this is 100% your spot.

The staff was so nice, and the atmosphere was fun, welcoming, and friendly. I loved the focal art piece on the wall with the shop's catchphrase, "For Those I Love." That's exactly the feeling you get when you walk in--a warm hug from someone you love. There's plenty of seating to hang out for a while and a simple yet classic menu. They stick to the classics, but the vanilla latte with house-made syrup was anything but basic. It was the perfect combo of sweet, creamy, and great-tasting espresso. So good! I also bought some merch and got a free drink with it, so I went with the raspberry matcha. I'm no matcha connoisseur, but it was freaking delicious. The raspberry smash at the bottom with the perfectly creamy matcha on top was such a great combination. I don't like matcha when it's too earthy or bitter--I definitely prefer my drinks sweet and super creamy, for reference. Side note: the damn bagel sandwich! I'd go back just for that. From the fresh bagel to the spicy mayo, it was everything I needed to go alongside my coffee. Love this place.

Honestly, the line is mainly due to the customers taking their sweet time while ordering. You might have a hard time finding a table to sit at inside, but they also have outside seating. Price-wise you'll probably spend around $15-$20 per person. I highly recommend their grilled chicken sandwhich. It comes with grilled chicken, lettuce and tomato, all on a toasted sourdough bread covered with pesto and cheese. For the side I typically get the Italian pasta salad, which is always delicious. One thing about this sandwhich is that the chicken will never cover the entire bread and it will never be distributed evenly. So you will always have one half that has less chicken and ends up being part veggie pesto sandwhich, which is still worth it. The other favorite is a turkey club sandwhich on a croissant. It's basic, but also very tasty. They also carry a variety of pastries and serve Klatch coffee (brewed coffee) if you need a sweet treat afterward.

Lots of homeless people around some on drugs and some unstable. Last time I was there a homeless man threw an orange at someone who was eating next to me for no reason at all. It's not the first time something happens that feels unsafe and although there's not much the restaurant can do about it it does affect the ambience

I had the pleasure of dining at Momo Sushi, and it was truly an incredible experience. From the moment I walked in, I was transported to Japan. The ambiance was serene and authentic, with traditional Japanese decor and soothing music playing in the background. But the real star of the show was the food. The head chef, hailing from Osaka, Japan, truly brought a level of premium quality to the sushi that I have rarely seen before. Every bite was bursting with flavor, and the attention to detail in each dish was impeccable. I particularly enjoyed the nigiri sushi, which was perfectly sized and expertly crafted. The rolls were also exceptional, with a variety of unique flavors and combinations that I had never seen before. And the sashimi was simply to die for - fresh, melt-in-your-mouth goodness that left me wanting more. Overall, I highly recommend Momo Sushi to anyone looking for an authentic and exceptional sushi experience. It truly stands out from the crowd and is a must-visit for any sushi lover. read more

Momo Sushi in Riverside, CA, is truly a hidden gem! My wife and I had the pleasure of experiencing their Omakase, and it was absolutely worth it. From the moment we walked in, we knew we were in for something special. The sushi was incredibly fresh, and the bluefin tuna literally melted in my mouth. Every bite was a testament to the quality and craftsmanship that goes into their dishes. What really made the experience stand out was the service. Our server was fantastic--she took the time to explain each course in detail and even shared some of her personal favorites, which made the meal feel even more personalized. If you're a sushi lover and find yourself in Riverside, do yourself a favor and visit Momo Sushi. You won't regret it! read more

We had a fantastic dining experience at Momo Sushi. We started with hot sake and enjoyed the rainbow roll, which was delicately seasoned with vinaigrette and had a nice crunch from the blue crab. The protein roll wrapped in soy paper was also delicious. The highlight was the chirashi bowl, featuring a variety of seasonal sashimi. The standout pieces were the salmon, which was incredibly fatty and flavorful, and the eel. We sat at the bar, and the service was great. We'll definitely be coming back! read more
