MoMo Sushi — Restaurant in Mill Creek

Got sushi takeout without expecting too much. Delighted to report that this place had fantastic food. Quantity and size on rolls were fair, a bit hesitant on the sashimi alone though, but they allow you to choose nigiri or sashimi for each piece of fish. I guess that's great if you don't like the rice or prefer only the fish so you can reduce your food waste.

Salmon Sashimi It's exactly what it says. Two pieces of salmon sashimi. Wouldn't get again for the value, I'd opt for any other item.

Smoky Roll Mango wasn't present on the outer pieces, mostly just the middle ones. With that in mind, it was nice to have some pieces without mango. Spicy tuna makes up the bulk of this roll, not much snow crab if any despite being part of the description.

Go Sea Hawks Roll Spicy tuna and tempura green onion inside topped with salmon and avocado. The green onion wasn't really tempura for me, it was simply a long thick piece of green onion through the center. Tasted like a basic spicy tuna roll with salmon on the edges.

Deluxe Sushi Dinner Got this with the spicy salmon roll. Eight other nigiris you don't get to choose but all very good. This is the better choice if you want a variety and want to try different things. The Salmon Dinner is better for all salmon sashimi (obviously).

Sake Maki Big fan of these small pieces for smaller prices. Just good salmon all around. A simple pairing with any of the rolls with more content.

Fantasy Roll Stands out with sliced lemon on top and shrimp tempura tails on the ends. The end pieces do not have salmon or lemon in favor of the tempura tail. The lemon is a nice tang, but I think I prefer without.

Unagi Sashimi They gave the nigiri instead but I think it's better. The sashimi and nigiri are the same price for two pieces but the sashimi alone wasn't enough, especially in such small quantities. Typical unagi with unagi sauce.

Salmon Dinner Highly recommend opting for the Alaska Roll - just salmon and avocado but so creamy and good. Comes with three regular salmon sashimi slices and five different salmon nigiris.

Milk Creek Roll A nice crunchy option. The scallop was a bit firmer though and would've preferred it to be softer but delicious nonetheless. Though, some pieces (2 or 3) were dominated by the imitation crab meat and there was no scallop so feel slightly cheated, but still tasty.

Julia Roll Originally looked like the Fantasy Roll due to the salmon and lemon on top, but the inside is tuna rather than shrimp tempura. I liked this more than the Fantasy Roll, simply more fish compared to the tempura.

Unagi Roll Pretty big piece of avocado inside and a fair portion of unagi. I'd like it to be a little more balanced...

Had a quick lunch date here and it happened to be happy hour which was great 11:30 to 5:30 everyday. You get a few bucks off which is a nice time to try some new stuff.

First time we went there and I am overall quite happy with the food. The server was great and gave us enough time to decide on the menu. she was very attentive and didn't come over until she could see we we're ready to order. Most servers tend to ask if you are ready when you are clearly still reading the menu so I was impressed. We ordered chicken kaarage, sashimi lunch, the dragon roll, smoky roll and my husband got the house sake.

Our meal came with complementary edamame beans and miso soup. Everything with fish was really good. No fishy smell in the restaurant and I felt the quality of the fish was good. The only thing that we would not order again would be the chicken kaarage. It was nicely fried but it just wasn't good. The chicken had no taste and relied on the dipping sauce for flavor. The chicken texture was also a bit odd. We just didn't think it is worth the calories.

The dragon roll was ok but was just a more fancy Cali roll with snow crab and more shrimp. The smoky roll was definitely more special and was tasty as the top fish had torches edges and there was mango inside. Would highly recommend the smoky roll and their sashimi lunch.

Would definitely come again. It seems to be a good family friendly sushi spot as I saw several family's with small...

The short version.

Fantastic food that punches well above its weight. Honestly food wise it feels like you are eating at a much more expensive restaurant.

The longer. Erosion.

The obvious question here is if the food is so good why is it only being rated 2 stars? Unfortunately where the food is fantastic the restaurant location disappoints. In fact my last two meals were both ruined because of this layout. Quite simply the restaurant has no traffic management let me explain, there are two entrances with a conventional sushi bar and refrigerator somewhat in the middle with some tables in front and then some more private tables around the corner.

Firstly from an ambiance perspective it’s weird as you are pretty much guaranteed to have someone waking up behind you. Secondly and more importantly you are guaranteed to have take out people loitering around where you are eating. This is very off putting.

Last night we went and whilst half way through the most sublime omikasi a man and his daughter arrived to place a takeout order. He smelled so badly off tobacco smoke and g-d knows what else that I literally could not taste the fish anymore. Meal ruined.

Quite bluntly this is the difference between fine dining. There is no front of house component. This is a huge shame as the chef is clearly hugely talented.

The owner needs to think hard about the layout and how they will manage their take...
