Momiji's location is a bit of a double-edged sword: somewhat hidden, and out-of-the-way for the casual diner, but eminently located for anyone stuck in and around OHSU for an extended period of time. It also suffers slightly from that association, as one might consider it "hospital food", with all of its sordid associations. Thankfully, I can confirm there's nothing to worry about here.
It's not "top shelf" sushi, by any means, but what they offer is still delicious, prepared competently and quickly, and priced affordably. My wife and I dined here after an entire half-day spent in a series of appointments and check-ups, and were famished by the time we wandered over to check this place out (we'd been meaning to ever since our last extended visit to OHSU). Among the multiple rolls in our order, the Miso Sexy and the Valentine rolls stood out among our favorites; they also make a decent miso soup: not too watery, not too strong, but just right!

The sushi presentation is phenomenal as well, they serve their food like it's a masterpiece!! The prices are so reasonable that it almost seems criminal to get such high quality for food on the cheap. You are missing out if you are in the area and you...
Read moreNEVER AGAIN! ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING! Ordered TAKEOUT- Chicken was OLD, not even a little bit fresh, Blackened tuna had no color/fishy, Miso was even terrible! Makes me gag just thinking about it! Pretty much threw away $45 worth of food!! Thought it would be a change from the "hospital" food which wasn't too bad, but thought some take-out would be a nice change. So unfortunate as families are at a hospital for not the best reasons and then to waste money on food that went straight to the trash... I didn't think of pictures before I dumped it all, but I know now never again!! FYI- My food did not look like others, maybe they thought they could get away with it since it...
