We ate here last week for the first time in the recommendation of friends who live in Bergen Park. We love sushi; we used to live three blocks from Sushi Den/Izakaya Den in Denver would go there all the time. Moonga Sushi is great!!
We had 2 rolls and a bunch of nigiri. The fish was very fresh; the server recommended, in addition to our other nigiri, the geoduck that had just been flown in that day. It was excellent! My wife ordered a roll with cream cheese; we likely won't order that one again as the ratio of cream cheese to fish was too high for our tastes. It wasn't bad, just too cheesy for us. But everything else was spot on. We like the rice they use, not your typical sushi rice and it added a nice flavor to the fish. Their sake list is quite good, we very much enjoyed our 300 mL bottle, and being whiskey lovers we were impressed they had Kujira 15 year!
We're glad we arrived when we did; the tables were mostly full, though the sushi bar was wide open. However, within 15 minutes of us being seated at the last open table, the restaurant got packed, and every seat was gone. The ambience was nice, the service was attentive, though we did have to wait a little bit for our initial contact with the server; they were quite busy and only appeared to have one person taking orders. They are hiring, hopefully they find some more help soon, but that's always the challenge of good restaurants in Evergreen, finding help. But the server was friendly, attentive, and fun.
Was it as good at Sushi Den/Izakaya Den? Not quite, but almost. They could dial in their roll recipes a bit more. But they were very, very good, and we're thrilled we don't have to drive down the hill now for good sushi! We'll definitely be...

Read moreThe sushi was pretty good. Thats about the end of the good. We ordered 5 hibachi dishes, a few pieces of sushi, and edamame. The sushi came out in about 10-15min. Then we waited. 2 hibachi dishes came out after an hour. Then edamame that was cold and chewy 10 min later. Finally after 2 people in our party finished eating and another 30 minutes 2 more dinners came out. Both completely cold and chewy sent back. They came back in 15 min still barely hot and very weird meat texture. They forgot 5th dinner. After 2 hours got the 5th dinner to go in a box. Worst and most dysfunctional service I've ever seen. Will never go back with the other good thai restaurants we have...
