I saw pictures of Momo San sushi on social media and I was stunned by how beautiful their food looked like. I knew I had to check them out.
When I arrived to the location, I saw chefs preparing food and everything looked just like I had seen online, the presentation was really amazing. We were seated and we got menus and decided what we wanted to eat. After that the waitress appeared to have forgotten us and after waiting for a long time I had to get up and walk to the front desk and tell the staff we want to order. The waitress apologized and she said it's a busy and chaotic day and that they had to call back up staff to try to make things work.
We ordered "Traditional sushi plate", "Momo San signature plate" and "Momo tart". Traditional sushi plate was quite good and the qualify of the fish was good. The dish had 7 pieces of nigiri but disappointingly the 3 maki pieces were tiny cucumber rolls.
Momo San signature plate was delicious. 6 of the pieces were pressed sushi that had only a very thin slice of fish and some sauce on top of large block of rice. After initial pleasant flavour in your mouth, the rest of the piece was basically chewing on rice. Nigiri pieces were delicious and fresh.
Momo tart was tasty, but in the end I felt it was too heavy on rice.
They also seemed to have issues with their sound system and the music they played sounded terrible. For some off reason they played some rockabilly in the beginning of our visit and it didn't fit the decor at all and after that they switched to TOP50 hits which teenagers may like but I found mainly annoying.
Overall, I found that the price for the quality and amount of the sushi was too high. Their presentation is 10/10 and possibly the most beautiful sushi I've seen in Toronto. Quality wise I think the sushi was 7.5/10 and value for the money was 3/10. I really wanted to love this place but service was slow and chaotic and price for the quality too high. I left the place somewhat disappointed and I have mixed feelings whether to go back or not. This could be a must place to go with some somewhat easy adjustments.
