Momonoki PTC — Restaurant in Peachtree City

I was so excited to try this place based on the glowing reviews, but unfortunately, our experience fell far short of expectations. To start, the hostess and servers were incredibly sweet, but the service itself was lacking. It was difficult to get our waitress’s attention, and since the waitstaff were also responsible for running food, they were clearly stretched thin. The management really needs to consider hiring dedicated food runners—it’s not for lack of effort; the staff was working hard, just overwhelmed.

As for the food, we ordered a variety of items: appetizers, nigiri, and sushi rolls. The only standout was the spicy tuna on crispy rice. The rice had a great texture—crispy but not oily—and the tuna had a nice bite, though the portion of tuna was on the smaller side.

Unfortunately, the rest of the meal was disappointing. The rolls had a shockingly poor fish-to-rice ratio—easily 85% rice. For $22, one roll had maybe an ounce of crab meat and honestly looked like something you’d find at a gas station. I ordered the Momo 2 roll combo and upgraded one to the spicy tuna roll, which was decent since I had already liked the crispy rice version.

The 7-piece nigiri set was the biggest letdown. Four of the pieces were noticeably fishy. What made it worse was hearing the table behind us complain to the manager about the yellowtail being off—only for it to show up minutes later as part of my chef’s selection nigiri. It was, indeed, very fishy. On top of that, the restaurant was uncomfortably warm—easily 80 degrees—and the fish wasn’t cold when it arrived. Some pieces were borderline warm, which is concerning.

It really bums me out because I had high hopes for this becoming a regular spot. But at this price point, the quality, service, and overall vibe just don’t align. Casual is fine, but not when you’re charging...

I've been driving by this place for some time so I thought I'd stop in when in the neighborhood. I ordered takoyaki, the spicy salmon roll, hamachi lover roll, the porter roll and Chu toro. Now I really enjoyed the takoyaki! There was the right amount of octopus in that tired delight and the sauces on it really brought out that flavor. However, when it came to the sushi, it was a different story. Now that sushi rice was fantastic! I knew immediately as I ate it, it was fresh and had the right amount of vinegar in there, but when I ate the rolls, it left wondering where's the rest of the flavor. The spicy salmon roll wasn't even spicy. I love spicy food so for this to not even have any heat, it was a disappointment. It may have come after I ate the roll, but only a whisper of heat was lingering. The porter roll was just ok. I felt it was missing a flavor component in that roll to bring it together for me. I liked the hamachi roll and thought this was the best roll I ate. It was refreshing and had the right amount of crunch in there. I thought the chu toro was just ok and after eating it, made me realize I should have gotten the o toro. As they were sold out, I just shouldn't have ordered this. Overall the food isn't bad, but I won't be so eager to stop by again, if in the...

Expensive- but worth every single penny.

The prices are more than the other two main sushi places in PTC - but the quality of the fish and rice is second to none. It’s really small things like the rice bing actual sushi rice and served warm with rice vinegar or even the use of other fish and vegetables you don’t normally have (like daikon).

The quality of the food is something that needs to be celebrated. Get the scallops. I know it’s raw and it sounds weird but they are life changing. Get the scallops.

The saki menu is moderate in size and expensive but again, you come here for A++ quality not a cheap out with the Mrs.

We spent $100 for 2 of us and got one house Saki and 3 rolls and one sashimi dish. Parking is a little bit of a pain (just has a small lot) and the service is very nice when we could get it. We know they were all working quickly and the place was bumping busy for a Tuesday but service was slow. Slow to get service and slow to get the check. But the girls were very polite and friendly. But the kitchen was working super fast. Props to everyone there either way it did not take away from our experience since the food itself...
