A few of the things we ordered blew me away, though I will say the price point for every dish was very steep (a tad incongruous with the atmosphere) and the portions not large. What I'd get again: 1. Toro nori bowl - fun to assemble on your own and a very, very generous amount of fatty tuna. We made the mistake of ordering this AND two orders of the toro temaki handrolls, not realizing we were going massively overboard with the fatty tuna. 2. Chicken wings - beautiful roasted soy sauce flavor. I could have eaten more of these. 3. Pork katsu - I'm not a pork fan but I loved the light crisp on this. 4. Cabbage salad - very crunchy and refreshing in the summer. What I'd skip: 1. The lobster roe pasta - not bad, especially with the lobster chunks, but nothing about the noodles themselves stood out and the primary flavor of the sauce was butter. For almost $50, this one missed the mark for me, especially since it's the restaurant's specialty dish. 2. Oyster mushrooms - my husband raved about this dish, while I found it too heavy on the salt and oil and needed a longer blot. 3. Black sesame ice cream sundae - meh for $14, just a large scoop of ice cream that you can find anywhere else and the toppings of red bean and strawberries didn't add much. The presentation was also a little sloppy, with all of the food pushed to just one side of the bowl. Parking: Very challenging, almost all permit only spots. If you go a bit further down the street in the opposite direction of Central, you'll find a cluster of meter spots that are free after 6pm.

My husband and I came to Momi Nonmi for an anniversary dinner and thoroughly enjoyed our…read moreexperience! As we made our way inside the restaurant, Chef Chris took the time to greet us and since we were the first ones there for our time slot, he gave us the option to pick any table we wanted for our omakase experience. He is very personable and took the time to get to know us and talk a bit about his background. The tables were split into separate sections so that you were seated only with your party which I thought was a nice setup, especially for a date night. We decided to do the Grand Slam Omakase with 16 courses with a specially selected sake pairing. Chef Chris took the time to explain each course, with several of the components being made in-house. I was an especially big fan of the Hokkaido scallop course but everything was phenomenal, especially the nigiri. You can tell that every aspect of every course is crafted thoughtfully and with care. If you are looking for an omakase experience, I would definitely recommend reserving a time at Momi Nonmi!

It comes with 2 bowls of miso soup, which were perfect on a cold winter night. The boat also includes a martini glass with seaweed salad, providing a refreshing, upscale palate cleanser when you need a moment's break from the fish. I was very impressed with the thick cuts for the sashimi, and the toppings on the nigiri also gave a tiny twist to the meal - while yuzu and jalapaeño are common pairings with raw fish, for example, the strawberry-on-salmon was a novel combo for me! The rolls also add appeal for any eating partners who enjoy their fish in another form. There isn't a lot of natural light/windows in the main seating area, so the lighting is dim and gives off an intimate ambiance that's perfect for a date night - no complaints about the service!

We came around 4pm and luckily it wasn't too crowded, so we were able to get seated right away. I ordered the cold niku udon and overall it was really good! The noodles had a great chewy texture, the beef was flavorful, and everything tasted really fresh. We also tried the hot udon, which was really good too and definitely worth trying if you prefer something warm. Service was also super quick, which I appreciated. I will say I had pretty high expectations because of how hyped this place is, and personally I don't think it completely lived up to the hype for me. It was still a really good bowl of udon though, and I'm definitely glad I finally tried it. Would still recommend checking it out at least once!

My friend ordered the Spicy Cold Niku Udon that I did not taste since I don't handle spicy well.

They made sure our water cups were never empty; I don't think my water went below 50%. The Hot Niku Udon was honestly one of the best udon's I'd ever have. There was as lot of beef. Noodles were soft. Soup was warm. Lots of scallions. I loved the addition of the crispy tempura batter. I want to come back.

Even with only four of us, it was loud enough that it was hard to hear the conversation at times. I don't think it would have worked well for a larger group. Overall, highly recommend, and I will be back!
