    Gyoza

    We went for lunch. You can't beat the prices! $20.99 all you can eat from the sushi menu. They also offer adding on hot pot for $5 more. However, they state on the menu that they can charge $12.99/lb of wasted food. So, we decided to wait to add on hot pot. At first we thought we would do both for the all you can eat because of the cheap price to add on, so we were seated at a table for hot pot. There are regular tables and hot pot tables, also a sushi bar. The hot pot tables are a little too close together but everything seems clean. It's made to order so it didn't give off buffet vibes! We went at the end of lunch, around 2:30pm. It wasn't too busy and we got our orders pretty quickly. Our server wasn't around too much but we didn't have to wait an annoying amount of time. Definitely going back. The fish is fresh and that's not always the case in Lubbock. I wish there was a little more variety of choice in special rolls but honestly, there's so much to choose from I can't complain. I've been to "all you can eat" sushi places in California and this place was better.. good food, decent service, and not over crowded!

    Stopped by Momotoro for some appetizers and sushi, and honestly, I left pretty happy (and slightly soy-sauced). For starters, the shrimp tempura, mushrooms, and gyoza were all on point -- crispy, flavorful, and clearly made fresh. The crab and squid didn't quite hit the mark for me. The crab tasted a bit too imitation-y; I think it would be much better as soft shell crab instead. Now, the sushi -- that's where Momotoro really shines. I tried the Honda Roll and Nissan Roll, and both were delicious-- well-balanced flavors, fresh fish, and just the right amount of sauce. Basically, if these rolls were actual cars, they'd be reliable, stylish, and probably out of my price range. The service was fantastic -- friendly, attentive, and fast without feeling rushed. I'm already planning to go back to try the hot pot, because apparently my stomach has trust issues with moderation. Overall: great spot for sushi in Lubbock with some standout dishes and genuinely great staff.

    Birthday announcement, with song was pretty cute and funny. The clean environment, host and server were very helpful in explaining everything. everything tasted very fresh and came out fast. this place is good for business or pleasure. It's a very come as you are. they have like a salsa bar, but it's for sauces and dips, It's really cool.

    Variety of sushi nicely brought it out on a boat for beautiful decor.

    This is my favorite all you can eat sushi diner in Lubbock. The price for it is reasonable and if you have the appetite, you will definitely get your moneys worth. If you're not craving sushi, they also have hot pot and a lot of other options. Also do not have to do The all you can eat. They have a regular à la carte menu for you to pick from. There are lots of options. I also love their strawberry ice cream for dessert.

    Sushi and Fried Squid

    The service was great, the atmosphere was great, the food not so much. It was 2:30 PM and they said they changed to the dinner prices which was 30 dollars per person. We didn't mind since it was Two hours of all you can eat sushi and hotpot. Then we are being told that there is a waste fee of 12.99 per pound. Due to this, instead of enjoying our food we are stressing out trying to finish everything so we don't get charged for the waste. Not only that, the fried squid tastes like fishsticks, Thr "Medium Rare" Steak was well done, the rice was overcooked, The menu is massive and confusing, and on top of all of this my entire party is now suffering from food poisoning 24 hours later.

    I went for hotpot and it was amazing! The staff is nice especially the owner you can tell she is very attentive to the guests, making sure everyone is taken care of. It can be pricey though but for the amount of food you get including meats and seafood, it is worth it in my opinion.

    The inside is super cute and all of the food has beautiful presentation. The waiter was really attentive and the service was fast.

    Hotpot all you can eat

    First time trying hotpot and it was great! Price isn't crazy for an all you can eat, and the service was top notch

    I really enjoy this place. Everytime we have gone we have been served by a really nice girl who is very attentive to when we need refills on our sushi and hibachi. The hot pot is really good too I wish there was a way to just get hot pot but you have eto pay extra for that. I love the sushi choices it is all fresh and high end just like if you got to a sushi restaurant and ask for sushi you get a decorative plate which puts this place over the top for presentation. I enjoy it every time. Wish the price was a little better during lunch and then the price for lunch could be dinner but maybe if more people go they can work with a lower price. Over all I really do enjoy it. The only con I had was the last time I went the tempura shrimp that was in the sushi tasted a little old as far as texture it wasn't hard and dried it tasted pretty made and kinda soggy.

    Beautiful food and an even more beautiful atmosphere!

We were shocked at how completely satisfied we were though we really had not had any friends tip us off about the place. I suggested it and my wife said oh okay but arent they all the same... with waving good luck cat decoration etc? I suggested we gamble and taste the food. We loved it and we will be back.

I really appreciated the variety of vegetarian options, which felt thoughtfully done rather than like an afterthought. My bowl was flavorful and well-balanced, though worth noting: even after asking for heat, it wasn't spicy at all, so spice lovers may want to temper expectations. That said, the experience had a bit of a rough start. We arrived right at the posted opening time (11am) and ended up waiting outside in the freezing cold, unsure if they were actually open. We had to call to confirm, and only then did someone come to unlock the door. Once inside, I asked for hot tea--pretty standard at most Japanese spots--only to be told they were completely out, which was surprising. All things considered, Yanagi Ramen delivers a dependable bowl with good vegetarian choices and a clean, modern space. A few opening-hour kinks and missing basics kept it from being great, but the food itself was enjoyable, and I'd happily come back--just not for spice, and hopefully next time with hot tea ready to go.

    First time here and first time trying Korean BBQ period!…read moreAbsolutely fantastic! We will definitely return! The weekend all-day dinner is excellent value. $32 (adults) for all-you-can-eat includes all appetizers, soups/salads, meats AND the sushi on the back! The only extra charges were drinks and desserts. To include the sushi is absolutely unheard of in other restaurants and we were pleasantly surprised. Suffice it to say we went through pretty much the entire menu and ate our weight in food! Each meat had its own individual flavor and all were delicious. There really wasn't anything we didn't like. We especially liked the green chile beef and pork (because of course we had both!) and the Cajun shrimp. Our server asked if we preferred to cook the meat ourselves or if we wanted to do it. Our over-confident selves tried it on our own. She noticed we were struggling to get everything to cook and offered her assistance, showing us that things cook faster in the middle. After that, we were good to go! The restaurant was clean, quiet and very well laid out, it was a pleasant place to eat and it was fun to see what other tables were getting. Overall, we spent about 2 hours having a wonderful dining experience and gorging ourselves on delicious food. We will be back soon, thank you!!

I love that some of the meats are already seasoned and of course there some that are not where you have the option to season them yourself with salt and pepper and their sauces. All the sauces and sides are made in house so you know it's fresh. The service was excellent. Our waitress was so sweet. My husband and I showed up on a Saturday evening and it was packed! I completely understand why it's worth the wait. If you're in Lubbock or just passing through make sure to stop by and try em out.
