| - I came here for lunch alongside my fellow foodie friend about a week ago. We were both eager to try Momo San as we'd seen the feature on blogTO and are, admittedly, self-professed sushi fanatics! Although we made a reservation in anticipation of lines, one mightn't have been needed (though to be fair we went on a Wednesday so none of the nearby restaurants were bustling at the time). The interior is not too large, which we found surprising for a relatively upscale sushi venue. Accordingly, we sat in the patio, where there was space aplenty.
Our order:
+Momo San roll ($15) - spicy shrimp and cucumber topped with beef short-rib and wasabi sweet onion (8 pieces)
+Momo Plate ($18) - 5 pieces of nigiri and a separate set of chicken/shrimp/a small salad
I was tempted to order the tart given how popular doshi / sushi donuts are these days, but it didn't look very filling for the price. I thought the roll was tasty (beef rib was not too large or small, shrimp was cooked fine but I thought it could have been spicier) yet not as exciting as I might've expected from a signature roll (perhaps this is my fault as I might have wanted to order the torched sushi which they are more known for! I'll have to come back). The portion of the roll was also a bit meager for a full lunch (I wasn't too hungry at the time, but if you are I'd recommend the Momo Plate instead as the portion is satisfying!). The plate features a generous portion of chicken in particular, and my friend seemed to enjoy her nigiri as well. Service was alright - our waitress seemed a bit perplexed when I asked her about the ingredients in the Momo San roll prior to ordering, but little hiccups can always be forgiven :)
Overall, not a bad experience!
