Second, the amount of time I spend in your restaurant heavily depends on the speed of your service (spoiler alert: it was not fast). They then sat us at the most uncomfortable table I have ever had the displeasure of dining at. The table was low and the seats were so deep that I could not rest my back on them while eating. Definitely brought the mood down further. Food was a hit or a miss, no in between. Hit: Garlic short ribs (my partner said these were tender and a good portion for happy hour), Poke sushi roll (good fish quality and taste) Misses: First Ave Roll (sauce was just walloped on top, weak flavors), veggie and shrimp tempura (heavy and soggy batter), pink lychee cooler (artificially sweet with no strong lychee flavor), green tea tiramisu (photo speaks for itself). For all the rave reviews, I was pretty let down. Thankfully, we went during happy hour so we didn't pay full price. I would not visit here again.

Steve and I got out of a movie in Seattle a few weeks ago and it was on the threshold (seems like…read morewe are always there) where it was late enough that quite a few restaurants were closing which left a few still open with later hours. Momiji was one of those and it was extremely close to the movie theater we were walking out of. Sushi sounded great so we strolled over to get some. The sushi didn't disappoint... not in the slightest! We got some specialty rolls off of that portion of the menu and they were so very good! Fresh and extremely flavorful! Moonraker was one of the rolls we got. I highly recommend it! In addition to that we got an order of the Spicy Tofu... again delicious and made an excellent side with our sushi! I got a hard alcohol I wasn't used to getting. It was fun and it was quite good! It was Shochu which is a distilled beverage and involves sweet potato. If memory serves I got the one with sweet potato and pear. Very different but very good. It had a nice dryness to it. To wrap it all up we got some deep fried mochi ice cream. It held up nicely to being a great finish to a very high quality meal. We are definitely coming back!

I am rating this as a 4 but likely would have given 3.5 if half stars were an option. We made our reservations a few weeks in advance being sat in the dining room. The three of us ordered the omakase and the food was delicious. Each piece was delectable and glorious. For food alone I'd given it a 5. Ambiance was nothing spectacular nor would set it apart from other sushi restaurants. It looked and felt like most sushi restaurants that offer omakase in the area. The service is where our dining experience, surprisingly, fell the most flat. Our waitress was a timid young woman who seemed very overwhelmed, speaking very quietly and quickly which caused us to ask her to repeat herself a few times. She had a script and if she stuck to the script she was fine but if we asked any question she wasn't prepared for, like asking about sake, she locked up. She also didn't appear to be receiving much support either. Questions regarding the sake were funneled through her to someone else who would relay the questions through her. The back and forth was enough I questioned why this person didn't come with our waitress to assist her. The explanations on the omakase dishes were given quietly or not given at all. It was just a bit atypical for omakase style restaurants in the area.

But clearly the deal was too good because they were all out! Compared to other hand roll bars, I like Sugo much more because they serve the rolls open faced, so you can clearly see the quality of everything you're eating, and it looks really nice. Further, these are full size handrolls compared where the ratio of fish dominated the seaweed and rice so that is the primary mouth feel. King Salmon - We topped up with ikura since caviar wasn't available, and the portion size was generous; the ikura adds a delicious salinity and texture profile to balance the naturally sweet salmon. Fresh wasabi gives this piece such a nice bright freshness. Ebi Nuoc Mam - Smaller shrimp seasoned with that classic Vietnamese palette of savory fish sauce that can give the shellfish flavor to hold its own. Tempura Shrimp - This roll gives a classic tempura shrimp roll with all the fix ins from spicy mayo to a sweeter saline glaze. The cucumber adds freshness and the piece eats very well with a balanced serving of rice. Spicy Tuna - Classic spicy tuna handroll with the added pairing of the sweet pickled radish, which gives a bright sweetness to contrast the bold spice coming from the tuna mixture. Kanpachi - Another piece that works brilliantly with ikura; we have that firm white fish powered by the lime, and the saline forward nature of the salmon roe really helps to add another dimension to the amberjack. Torched Eel - Very generous cut of eel that will be sure to satisfy for the final rolls I like the added toppings of cucumber and optional wasabi, which help alleviate some of the richness of that seasoned eel.

The presentation was nice without feeling overly flashy, and the rolls arrived looking fresh and well-prepared. What I liked most was that each roll had its own flavor profile, so sharing several different options made the meal more interesting. The fish tasted fresh, the rice was well-balanced, and nothing felt overly heavy. The restaurant itself had a lively atmosphere, but still maintained a pleasant atmosphere throughout the bustle. Service was attentive, and the staff did a good job keeping everything moving smoothly throughout the evening.

This place is made for takeout. They charge you by the pound! You can pick out what sushi inari you want or sushi rolls. You weigh it on the scale, and then grab your condiments. As avid sushi goers, we were skeptical so we only tried two inari pieces: a mix of salmon/tuna and a separate spicy salmon. Needless to say, don't go here if you know your sushi. It is only worth it if you are really hungry and want something quick. This is cheap sushi and cheap fish. Not quality. For two pieces, I paid $8. Devastating.

They don't take phone calls or reservations online - very old school. Which I think makes it more desirable. We ended up getting a special room with a "chabudai" style table! I was super excited because I've never experienced it before. What I did find pleasant was that although it was a lower table, there was an opening beneath the table that allowed your legs to hang rather than having to sit Indian style. Tyson was an amazing server. Was attentive, accommodated our allergies and was thoughtful with us having a young child. He was so pleasant and polite! We enjoyed the following: Baked miso glazed eggplant - YUM and melts in your mouth. Black Miso Cod Collar - this was pleasantly surprising and so delicious. Eat bite was tender and flavorful. Simple yet so appetizing. Sushi rolls were both fresh and well prepared. The nigiri was also great and fresh- not fishy. We additionally ordered takoyaki - which I normally don't love but this one was very tasty and I enjoyed the texture. Lastly karage chicken which came with a creamy slaw. Overall it was such a pleasant experience and we look forward to coming back!

Food was excellent, price is slightly on the steeper side but food quality is also high. We arrived at 6 sharp as a walk-in and were told they could seat us if we finish by 7:30 for a reservation. That's a good amount of time, no worry there. The entire time we dined we were reminded about the time and how we had to hurry up. As soon as we sat, we were introduced to the menu which was great, but then told to put in certain orders now because of "that 7:30 reservation." Throughout the dining experience when we were checked on or given food, they'd allude to the time. We finished up around 6:50 and were asked about dessert and decided we should just leave and get some sweets elsewhere because of the rush. Miso Dengaku Eggplant - these are a favorite around here for good reason. Soft and delicate eggplant paired with a flavorful sauce. Slightly sweet, savory, and salty mixed with the perfect umami. Eggplants are great at absorbing flavor and really made use of the sauce. Spicy Cod Karaage - cod was rich in flavor, soft in texture. Not too spicy, but just enough to enhance the buttery fish meat and fried outer layer with another flavor. Overall great to share. Black Cod Collar Miso - one of their famous dishes for good reason. Extremely soft cod that falls off the bone and is easy to tear apart. Miso glaze that is all three parts savory, salty, and umami. Worth ordering over and over. Beef Yakiudon - one of the more basic dishes built for filling up the group. Beef was tender, yakisoba udon noodles and vegetables were standard. Sauce was a bit on the sweeter side, but this had a good amount of carbs to pair with the delicate seafood and fill us up. Kama Meshi Unagi - I'll start by saying this is tasty, but man is it pricey. Supposedly feeds two which we collectively thought was laughable. Unagi was super soft and tender, using the word delicate again would be accurate. Rice was well sweetened and marinated with unagi juices. Worth trying but definitely don't expect this to be filling. Spicy Tuna and Sassy Salmon Rolls - while seemingly basic, these rolls were on the tangy, sour side. Primarily the fish, which tasted like it was doused in vinegar. Would honestly skip these rolls in favor of actual fish dishes here.
