I was craving a nice nice out & it happened to be a Saturday. While we are not anti-social we are not keen on crowded restaurants. Normally a night out means Joe Beef or Park, but not on Saturdays. I checked the reservations & it seemed wide open so I booked a 6:30 time slot.
We arrived on time & while there was plenty of action outside, inside the restaurant was quite peaceful & we tu ked away in a quiet corner.
I liked that it seemed to me, even if they had been fully booked, there was nice open spaces & tables weren't mashed together. I wouldn't hesitate to book during busier times given the layout.
I feel like we had to service persons who came to check on us at appropriate intervals, refilling our water & providing fresh plating.
I started with a mocktail as I was driving, my husband got the house brew. The cocktail was very good, a spicy, almost like a margaritas, tart with a kick. I am not sure the dealcoholized tequila added anything? But it was a good drink.
We started with Shrimp Bao & Cod Cheek. The cod cheek was delicious. I was kind of thinking it would be adjacent to Kama but no, but it was fabulous, creamy, salty, all good things. I liked the shrimp bag but both hubs & I would not order it again. It was kind of meh.
Our mains were the box o sushi & stuffs, & 2 making rolls. These were all scrumptious but I was stuffed. I think next time I would only order 1 maki & the box to share.
For 2 people, I think 1 app, 1 maki & the box would be ample. For context we are big persons, so it's not like we are light eaters.
I would suggest budgeting about $150 pp for dinner with a drink included.
I enjoyed our experience very much, staff was friendly & the food was very good.
I went to Momoji by Otto for dinner on a Sunday at 7pm & we were surprisingly the only table there. The ambiance & decor were really nice-definitely a highlight of the experience.
As for the food, it was okay but nothing particularly memorable, especially for the price. The beef carpaccio was quite bland & overloaded with cheese, which threw off the balance of the dish. It lacked flavor overall. The crudo was decent, & the cod cheek stood out as the best item I tried-flavorful & well-executed.
The tasting box felt overhyped & underdelivered. The makis were just okay & didn't stand out in any way. Cocktails were also on the expensive side & not that impressive.
Overall, while the atmosphere was nice, the food & drinks didn't justify the price.
Second visit to Momiji in less than a month - with two different groups - & it was just as memorable the second time around. We were truly impressed by the quality of the food, the incredible freshness of the fish & seafood, & the thoughtful, beautiful presentation of every single dish.
Highly recommend the grilled lamb skewers with chimichurri, the Suzuki Crudo, Sashimi Moriawase, & the Otoro Nigiri - each one absolutely outstanding.
A special shoutout to the Momiji salad, which was surprisingly delightful. Who knew iceberg lettuce could be so captivating?
& to end an already wonderful meal, our favourite was the vanilla raspberry dessert - light, refreshing, & the perfect sweet finish. Definitely save room for dessert!
A heartfelt thank you to Vien & Nick for the warm, attentive, & fabulous service. Most of us will be back again soon!
I've given the food a 4/5, as the second time we ordered the cod cheeks they were slightly tougher than on our first visit. I really value consistency, especially when a dish stands out the first time. That said, every other plate was absolutely spot on & beautifully executed.
The location is a little hard to find as it's outside of the mall. Easiest way from inside the mall is to exit the door near the metro access. Walk down the stairs & turn right - you will see the restaurant.
From the outside parking lot, go up, then down the exterior stairs (near Siamo Noi) then turn right - you will find the restaurant a few steps away.
My birthday celebration at Momiji last night was nothing short of amazing.
From the staff to the incredible food & the attention to detail-even thoughtfully accommodating my friend who doesn't drink alcohol-everything was exceptional. The evening was filled with nothing but wonderful emotions.
To the entire team & all the chefs who took the time to present such beautifully crafted & delicious dishes: thank you. Truly, chef's kiss. The makis were mouthwatering, & the ebi baos & the cod cheek & grilled calamari & lamb skewers were outstanding-chef's kiss again.
Kevin, our bartender for the night, thank you. Your cocktails, mocktails, & deliciously creative shots left us wanting more.
To our waitress, whose name I unfortunately didn't get: thank you for being sweet, patient, kind, & incredibly efficient.
Vien, & everyone who took such great care of my loved ones & me-thank you. You truly made my birthday celebration a night I will always cherish.
We'll definitely be back for more-you can count on that 🙌
I wish I could give 5 million stars !!!! I'm literally in the middle of my meal & JUST finished the cod cheek & my life has changed for good oh my god. Food is so good & drinks are so yum!
i just wanted to say i haven't even gotten our main meal yet but the cod cheek was easily the best thing ive ever put in my mouth & i needed everyone to know about it thank you
Wow! This place was pricey but very tasty. We ordered the kiasendon & all the fish was super fresh & had a sweet, oceany taste. We also had the cod mazemen & the mazemen itself was so creamy & unctuous. The cod was delicious, but was a bit mushy & overcooked. The interior was gorgeous & clean, & the service was top notched. I would definitely come back again if I was ever in the area.
new place in royalmount mall. nice decor. open kitchen. quality of ingredients are top notch & so is the service. impeccable but on the pricey end. must try the appetizer salad, cod cheeks & their rolls. the wings are also a puzzle they keep them intact but the bones are removed!!!
What an incredible experience ! We dropped in on a Thursday night without reservation. We were seated outdoors which was very pleasant. The service by Aimi was impeccable, she was so sweet & professional & all her recommendations were on point.
The crispy shrimp bao (ebi bao) were so tasty, the lamb skewer with chimi churri was perfectly cooked & the gindara mazemem with cod was absolutely incredible - creamy & with perfectly cooked cod.
We are frequent visitors of the Royalmount as we live nearby & have tried many of its restaurants, but this one tops our list !
The foie gras sushi was absolutely fantastic. I never imagined the blend of sashimi, kimbap & foie gras could compliment each other so well. A must try. The sashimi was also very fresh. I also enjoyed their take on the black cod skewers!! Will definitely visit again
