| - I'm always on the lookout for good sushi - and it isn't easy in landlocked Calgary.
In this case, I've been pleasantly surprised. I've been once for lunch and once for dinner (same menu, I believe) and the quality of the fish has been consistently good. It comes at a refreshingly low price, too.
The beef tataki makes for a tasty, tangy appetizer and I have no complaints about their maki or nigiri sushi, aside from a slightly over-done piece of unagi (eel.) For those who dare, they have a pretty wide variety of maki listed on the menu, although I'll stick to my negitoro and rainbow roll, thank you very much.
Momoyama loses marks for its service, though. The most recent time I was there for dinner, everything started out nicely and attentively. However, as soon as we had finished eating, our teapot was whisked away and we were asked if we had paid for our meal (?) to which I replied, "We haven't even gotten the bill yet." I understand that there was another party waiting to be seated, but we weren't even an hour into our reservation time yet. Another server quickly came by and apologized, but I was not impressed.
I believe this was an isolated incident by a new server, which only slightly marred an otherwise delightful meal.
$30 for two people (two rolls and about ten pieces of nigiri.)
