I saw a Tiktok of this Japanese spot in SoHo and had to check it out. I came for their brunch and it was a pleasant experience. While I'm not sure if it's a great space for big groups as the dining space is narrow, I think it's great for brunches and maybe even dates. Service was good. We got their Momoya box of sashimi and their souffle pancakes. Both were so good. While I thought the uni in their Momoya box wasn't very good quality (super briny and color was dark), the rest of the box was good. Each bowl came with some rice. You could definitely share this between two people. Their pancake was also light and fluffy. Such a cute spot for brunch! read more

Disclaimer: may come off snobby. I went on a date with a guy that picked all the places and pretty much implied he wasted money when I wasn't comfortable going over his place after a first date. He then texted me he was on a budget and couldn't afford to spend $200 on a first date even though he picked the places and offered all this stuff. I guess I should have gotten well tequila than Don Julio, but we are in our mid thirties.... Do not need to be on a budget like that. Having said, I decided to show myself how a lady should be treated by taking myself out. I got highlights from my girl Kaylee at David Mallet and took myself here for an omakase moment. I sort of was hoping for a romantic vibe, but this was very sterile and cafeteria-like. Staff was nice, food was good, but giving it three stars bc of the vibes. I would probably go back here if I want to casually grab fast food, but not really for the reasons I went there. read more

Cute brunch! I got the natsu natsu pancake which was so aesthetic and unique. There's a layer of passionfruit flavored mochi on top. There's pistachio bits in the pancake and cream drizzle. I recommend sitting on the first floor because that's where the restroom is and there's just more lighting! We also got the sukiyaki but there were only a few pieces of meat so I took off a star (pricey for the amount of meat). I'd recommend this place for its brunch! They had a few more sweet brunch options as well read more

I had been Momoya SoHo twice and I enjoyed my brunches a lot. I really love the menu full of beautiful and satisfying sets. They were full of sushi/sashimi, seasonal pickled bites, main courses, etc. all of them were fresh and delicious. it was delightful to taste all the items in one setting. It really helps when I missed the food I had in Japan. One drawback about this place is the seatings were a little tight but I know... it is NYC lol read more

Honest review is that the sushi here is delicious. Came on a beautiful summer day and really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. I was really excited about the brunch but the matcha molten French toast wasn't anything amazing. Just a little too sweet and heavy. If you're looking for a pretty spot with good sushi, I recommend! read more

Got a kaisen don and eel roll to takeaway and ate it outside since it was nice. The eel roll was very small in portion for $14. It wasn't worth the price. The kaisen don lunch bowl was worth it though. A good variety of sushi. The scallops were sweet and the ikura was nicely marinated. The uni was a little metallic-y but overall decent. The shrimp and toro were good. There had freshly grated wasabi and pickled ginger x read more

It's been a while I have been to this area , after a long day I was hungry & craving for some sushi. So I found this one . Very cute little place with excellent customer service. I was there for lunch & asked what's the best way to try some different items. He recommended the lunch menu with 3 different kinds of rolls. It also comes with a small salad . I enjoyed everything a lot . Then I tried their green tea because I needed some caffeine. They also have the cutest restroom, lots of fun for us ladies to take snaps lol ! Price was reasonable, especially considering the area the restaurant is located in . Thank you guys for all you do, can't wait to come back to try something different. read more

Had dinner on a busy Friday evening at Momoya SoHo. Started with the Spicy Salmon Crispy Rice - excellent. For entrees, we had the Momoya Box, Shokadou Bento Box, Sushi Premium and the Duck Two Ways - all good with perhaps the Momoya Box standing out the most. Overall, solid sushi and creative dishes though a bit pricey, in an upscale and lively atmosphere. read more

Restaurant week in Feb 2026, $60pp for dinner. 2 courses - - appetizer, main, and dessert. I got the snow crab ohitashi, sushi moriawase, and matcha tart. I enjoyed everything. For the table, we shared a dozen Kumamoto oysters and they were $72, which is $6 per oyster.. They were good but so so small. I don't think it's worth the price. Also FYI--- if you bring a cake, they charge $5 per person for cake fee to cut and serve at the table. So be prepared for that if you're celebrating something and you bring a cake. This is prob my 5th time coming here. I usually come just for restaurant week. Decent food and nice ambiance. read more

Came here for brunch after seeing the beautiful brunch options on Instagram. We were seated upstairs. I got the matcha French toast and my friend got the pancakes. The French toast was decadent and flowed with a matcha lava. The pancakes were super fluffy. I think I would've preferred if they had a version of matcha pancake. They did warn us that it would take 20 min to make the brunch items, but it ended up taking closer to 40 min. Other people also tried the bento box which came with a variety of items including sashimi and tempuras and the eel donburi which came which a nice sized serving of eel. read more

The restaurant's atmosphere is vibrant and lively, definitely a place where reservations are a must. The staff managed the tables efficiently, even during the busy Restaurant Week lunch. We tried several dishes from the restaurant with the restaurant week menu. Appetizer- Snow Crab Ohitashi Crown Daisy, Baby Spinach Ohitashi, Snow Crab Meat Sashimi Otoshi Salmon, Kampachi, Apple, Micro Chives Main Dish Sushi Platter- Six pieces of Sushi, with a Choice of Roll Mini Omakase ($15 Supplement) Seven pieces nigiri of Toro, Akami, Kinmedai, Kampachi, Hotate, Ikura, Uni, and six pieces of rolls (toro scallions and toro takuwan) Special roll- Prime Dessert- Matcha Tart, Yuzu Strawberries, Matcha, White Chocolate Ganache, Strawberry Matcha Cookies The fish was exceptionally fresh, and the snow crab was among the best I've had in the city for this price range. After finishing our meal, we ordered a special roll since the portions weren't quite enough for my teenage child. Although it took nearly 30 minutes to arrive, the waiter apologized sincerely, and the manager kindly offered our dessert for free, and soy sauce ice cream as a gesture of goodwill. Overall, the service was excellent and made the experience very pleasant. read more

Wanted to branch out from my regular sushi rotation and tried out Momoya on a solo Monday night. Walked in and sat at the bar right away. Service was very nice. There's plenty of seating in here, so I think it's easy to walk in on a week day for dinner. I got the spicy tuna crispy rice and it was fantastic, so fresh and a huge portion. The pepper on top definitely had some heat. I also got the special which was a few nigiri pieces that were the chef's picks. They were fine but I felt like the rice was lacking flavor. I'd probably try sashimi or a specialty roll next time. read more

Came here for brunch on a Saturday and got seated without any issue. The menu had mostly lunch dishes, but we did split one brunch item. Ambiance was nice, it's a long restaurant and most are next to a window which made it feel bright and clean. We shared sushi and the French toast. We did see someone else with an incredible dish in a wine glass that looked delicious, but we were told they only do a limited quantity everyday. Bummer! Food itself was fine. Nothing amazing, nothing disappointing. I wouldn't go out of my way to return, but I enjoyed the meal overall. Service was also okay, but a bit slow for water refills. Regardless, we enjoyed ourselves and had a nice meal! read more

A quiet, local Japanese spot in SoHo. We stopped here for lunch as we trekked around the city. We ordered a fairly hearty meal, trying the Momoya Gozen lunch set and the Sushi and Sashimi Combo. The Momoya Gozen felt like a greatest hits sampler; it has soba noodles, chawanmushi, tempura, sashimi, and wagyu. All were executed very well. The Sushi and Sashimi Combo shined. The quality of the fish was better than expected for the price point and the scallion in the yellowtail roll made for a unique and awesome flavor. Service was great; as the dishes were brought to the table, the server would go over exactly what was on the plate. I wish this was my local spot! I would happily be a repeat customer. read more

The soufflé pancakes are only served during weekends at brunch, luckily they weren't super busy so I was able to walk in without a reservation and get seated immediately. Service was okay. We weren't checked in on, but at least the food was served quickly. Pancake: If you're familiar with the Japanese soufflé pancakes, you know them to be a little bit airy, these were more dense so I wouldn't really describe them as true Japanese soufflé just a bit fluffier than normal. Nevertheless, I thought it was still a good pancake and I really enjoyed the seasonal pumpkiny flavor as well as the mochi blanket. 5/5 Spicy tuna crispy rice : It's hard to go wrong with this dish and they didn't. Rice was crispy, tuna was spicy 5/5. read more

Been wanting to try this place for a while and it was finally time too! There wasn't much of a wait since it was after the lunch hour rush which was good. The outdoor dining was nice as they were attentive which was great. We got the Momoya Box and Momoya Gozen, which honestly while the presentation was pretty the actual sushi and food of the dishes it was fairly average and wasn't blown away to our disappointment. While I was hoping it would be like an another sugarfish I was wrong. Might I as had grab sushi from the local Japanese super market nearby it would been the same level. I would give 2.5 stars because ambience and service was good but food was average. read more

Great place for quick lunch if spending the day in soho shopping or bar hoping. We arrived here as our last resource without reservation and were sat immediately, a relieve after trying to find a table for three around the area without reservation and being told to wait 1 to 2 hours. We tried their fried calamari, some rolls and drinks, my coke was flat the server took it away and removed from the bill, I ordered the lychee martini instead and it was delicious. We had some rolls too, and their famous crispy salmon, everything was phenomenal. The vibes were chill and they loved that we never felt rushed, every dish came at the perfect time, they gave us time enough to enjoy each one of them start to finish, appetizer done, 1 minute later next dish, they did not crowded our table with food but phased it properly. This was probably my favorite part! Being able to actually enjoy what you are paying for. Our table was on their second floor not as bright as the first floor so probably next time we will make a reservation to secure spot with better view, they have a sushi box that we are definitely coming back to try! What a lovely experience really. Thank you for making your customers feel welcomed. read more

Corn soup - Taste ok. More intense corn flavor would be nice but that depends on the corn. Unagyu - The Wagyu taste nice and you can flavor the fattiness. The eel, however, I suspect is from China. There were bones and fishy taste. With my extensive experience shopping for unagi, it's definitely not from Japan. Could be Vietnam. read more

In an ultra-competitive restaurant scene such as New York, Momoya SoHo has proven that it consistently offers high quality food that is reasonably priced in a neighborhood well known to tourists from across the continents. This was our family's second visit to Momoya SoHo and I am glad to confirm that the high quality of food was as consistent as our last visit. The sushi and sashimi here were fresh and reasonably priced here. I opted for the chirashi bowl and savored each bite of the thick cuts of fresh sashimi. I am usually not a fan of uni because I dislike the strong aftertaste; however, no complaints from me this time as I enjoyed the bites of uni with the rice. Moreover, the portion was generous here and the bowl really filled me up. My wife had the Momoya Gozen, which was a sampler of various dishes including tempura, cold soba noodle, sliced A5 wagyu steak on rice, etc. The execution of each dish was flawlessly: the wagyu beef was flavorful and tender, the tempura was crispy without being greasy, and the chawanmushi was nice and delicate. Our boys got sushi and sashimi combos and the rolls they got: salmon skin and yellowtail with scallion were just as good as the sushi and sashimi. For dessert, we opted for the more lowkey option of Mille Feuille Aux Banana. The dish exceeded my expectations with the crispy layers of puff pastry and the full-bodied caramelized banana cream, further contrasted against the hojicha rum raisin ice cream. The service was overall nice and attentive despite how busy the first round of service was on the weekend afternoon we visited. The decor is classy and the seating areas on the second floor were quite comfortable. A reservation is highly recommended. read more

Delicious Japanese food in a cute spot! We did a walk in for 4 on a Saturday, and though they were busy, they were able to accommodate us with no wait. The menu has a wide range of sushi rolls and entree options, and has a good number of non-fish Japanese dishes in case some of your party doesn't want raw fish. We shared the momoya gozen, sushi lunch, and agedashi tofu. All of the food was great and our server Nick was so attentive and sweet! Their seasonal parfait also sounded delicious and we saw other tables eating it, but at $36 it seemed like a crazy splurge... I would definitely return here for great Japanese food and the cute ambiance! read more

Stopped by Momoya SoHo and this spot definitely impressed. The place itself has a dark, moody aesthetic that feels elevated but still chill--super quiet, which made the whole experience feel calm and relaxed. The staff were friendly and helpful the whole time. We ordered the Momoya Box, which seems to be a popular choice, and it absolutely lived up to the hype--everything inside was refreshing, light, and full of flavor. It's the kind of box where you can taste a variety of textures and seasonal touches, and nothing felt too heavy. The star of the night was the Haru Urara Parfait, which came with a ton of thoughtful layers: Sakura lychee jelly, berry rhubarb compote, genmai puff, matcha jelly, premium matcha ice cream, strawberry guava sorbet, cheesecake foam, rice flour sakura butter cookie, raspberry amazake, sakura mochi, cherry mousse, green tea cake pop, berry tuile, sakura dango, and sudachi mojito sauce. Every bite had something new--a full experience in itself. We finished the meal with the Momoya sake flight, which was a great way to wrap things up. Super smooth and paired nicely with the food. read more

Came here for restaurant week and got the momoya box. They also have seasonal parfaits but overall it's pretty pricy for the desserts. The momoya box comes with 9 seasonal chef tasting chirashi bowls and presentation was very nice. The mini bowls were also good. Also tried the Wagyu sukiyaki but thought that was a little too salty for taste! Ambiance overall was good and located primely in soho. read more

We visited Momoya SoHo today for lunch as a party of three around noon. Since we made a reservation in advance, we were seated immediately, which was a plus. That said, there are a limited number of tables, and many guests were seated at the bar, so booking ahead is definitely recommended. Our waitress was a pleasant young lady, but the service was not very attentive. I had to raise my hand a few times to get her attention, which was a bit surprising given the higher-end positioning of the restaurant. For food, we ordered the Momoya Gozen, Momoya Box, Salmon Platter, and Sushi Special. The pricing felt reasonable for both the quality of the food and the upscale setting. After being served miso soup and house salad, our main dishes arrived within 10-15 minutes, which was timely for a lunch visit. Overall, we enjoyed the experience and would recommend giving Momoya SoHo a try -- especially if you're looking for quality Japanese cuisine in a stylish SoHo setting. read more

This was good sushi but nothing out of the ordinary in my opinion. I think my expectations were too high because of Tiktoks I saw. Maybe I should've ordered other things.

Good and stylish place for sushi. On the pricier side since they're in soho. The other Momoya branches are a little cheaper since they're less frills.

This is the perfect place for brunch with the girls!! They have more space upstairs which I absolutely loved for the vibes and privacy. We happened to come during Restaurant Week, which was great because we were able to order couple sets of a variety of dishes, while adding more food on top of that! I think our favorites were from the regular menu, and the Wagyu Steak Ju (the BEST). The wagyu pieces were juicy, flavorful, and just SO good. Even just the and the marinade was good!! Our least favorite was the hand rolls that we chose as part of the restaurant week set. They were just mid compared to all the other good dishes we ate. The brunch sweets look aesthetically pleasing but the flavors were just so so. But the portion size was definitely bigger than expected so I would recommend sharing with the whole table! Nick was the best server as he was so friendly and made great conversation whenever he came to check up on us! Would love to have him again when I go back. read more

Beauuutiful chic restaurant, dim lighting, great place for drinks and little bites to catch up with friends sashimi was very fresh and you can tell they use good ingredients rice is well seasoned and not clumpy thank heavens.... The rolls weren't as good - low key funky tasting so I would just stick to the sashimi. Crispy rice was v yum tho!!! Low key got me hooked BUT rice is a little hard/ gets stuck in your teeth vs like crispy and light other stand outs: tempura which was lightly battered and shatteringly crispy IG: Spillingthe.beans read more

Gosh, I love coming to Momoya SoHo so much! It's been too long since I first visited, and I knew the next time I came back, that my husband had to experience this. This is the closest food experience you'll ever get to actually eating Japanese cuisine that is so authentic and delicious. When we came, it actually happened to still be restaurant week, but we didn't even pay any mind to looking at that menu as I was already decided on my main entrée. My husband took a while trying to decide what he wanted to have and settled on the sushi platter, but I suggested we start with Karaage And share their famous kasai roll. Our waiter was professional quick and efficient and made sure we had everything we needed even down to refilling our water glasses often. I was grateful that I made reservations beforehand because the place was packed with happy chatter and frequent patrons. The vibe is very relaxed yet elegant for an early lunch. I got the infamous Unagi over rice and was taken back immediately to our 2019 trip to Japan. I ate every grain of rice. My husband couldn't get over the unique flavors and freshness of the sushi and was thrilled that I kept insisting we'd come here on our next day date. I plan to visit here at least one more time before the end of the year because it's too good of a secret to keep to myself . read more

Made a reservation for four on a Sunday afternoon and got seated immediately. I asked for patio seating since the weather was amazing and they have huge umbrellas for shade. I ordered a matcha cocktail since it was super unique and I've never heard of anything like it! I was not disappointed at all as it tasted like matcha with barely any alcohol taste. Literally the most perfect cocktail I've ever had. I ordered the matcha French toast on the brunch menu which had red bean, mochi, whipped cream, and the most fluffy bread ever. It was sooooo delicious and very sweet!! The portion was also huge and the matcha tasted so rich. Everyone walking by took a look at what I was eating as it looked so interesting. The service was really good as well and the employees were nice. I saw an employee grab and remove a lantern fly that landed on a customers dress. That's how good the service was. This is now my fav restaurant in soho! Perfect for a mid afternoon eat and was an amazing experience between shopping. Bathrooms were extremely clean and ambient as well. read more

My friend and I came here for their Winter Restaurant week special and had an overall great experience! Highly recommend making a reservation in advance because they're quite popular. I really love the overall aesthetic and ambiance of the restaurant - we got a table for 2 at 5:30 PM and there were plenty of people seated at the bar as well. I think they offer an impressive variety of dishes on their special menu and the presentation was by far one of the most stylish I've ever seen. My friend and I both ordered the sashimi as an appetizer. She ended up ordering the bento box while I got the sushi platter (which was the only entree that could be made gluten free), and I really enjoyed the variety of options it came with. All the seafood tasted super fresh and there was a really balanced spicy kick to my roll. I'm usually not a big uni person but I actually really enjoyed the uni that they prepared! Finally, for dessert my friend got the matcha tart and I got the mont blanc ice cream, which was made to accommodate my gluten allergy. Overall, would definitely recommend this restaurant if you're looking for a fancier place to celebrate or for any other special occasion, and I definitely see myself coming back when I want to treat myself. The portions were a bit smaller compared to some of the other Restaurant Week specials I've had, but again, I can't stop thinking about just how pretty their food looks and you can tell they put so much effort into every single plate, they truly look little pieces of art! Shout out to our server who also diligently checked which items could be made gluten free - that kind of effort really goes a long way :) read more

I went to Momoya during their Summer 2025 Restaurant Week. I'd say it was worth it during restaurant week to check it out, but I'm not sure I could say the same if it were full-priced. The food was good, but definitely a smaller portion size. The staff were accommodating and let us sit inside since it was hot outside. Overall it was a good experience, but again, not sure if I'd pay full price for the same quality/quantity that was given. read more
