| - The thing about momo is their sushi is stellar. As a vegan, I crave it ALL the time. I love the plain avocado sushi because unlike other sushi places, they put spicy mayo in it. I also love the edamame and the spring rolls.
Everyone I've brought to sushi momo has had the same opinion - it's delicious.
Last time we visited, however, there was an awkward situation with the staff. We were a party of 6, and some people were new and had never tasted anything on the menu before.
We were advised that as a party of 6 we had no choice but to order from their version of a "table d'hote", essentially choosing a starter, enjoying a choix-de-chef mix of different kinds of sushi, and then I think there was also a dessert.
I understand that this policy is put in place to make it easier for the chefs to put out the food in a shorter amount of time... but considering the fact that I am a picky eater and that some of my friends hadn't had the chance to try anything yet, we kind of just wanted to order our own individual sushi.
I asked the waitress if we could do that even though we were a large party and she said no. Again, I understand why the policy is in place but I figured given our reasoning + the fact that I've become a semi-regular customer, that they might just let us order what we wanted. I even communicated that we didn't mind if it took a while to get everything out... We didn't care about the wait, we just wanted to sit down, hang out, and eat the sushi of our choice.
We ended up having to split up at 2 different tables just for the sake of not being a group of 6. I think it's safe to say that the foot of empty space between us did not make much of a difference in the grand scheme of things.
I was very grateful that we found a way for us to order our own things, but I still felt uncomfortable the entire time because I could tell the staff was annoyed at us.
I understand what it's like to have fussy customers as I've been a waitress for 6 years so I didn't say anything and I was trying very hard to be upbeat and peppy. I know some of my party was a little less friendly.
If the owners / staff at sushi momo happen to check the reviews and see this one, I hope that they consider changing their policy to accommodate the customers. My party was so annoyed that they wanted to leave but I convinced them to stay. That could have easily been a loss of 6 customers in under two minutes.
In terms of just the food though - 5 stars.
