Overall, reviews portray Momiji par OTTO as a stylish, cozy spot delivering exceptional food with extraordinarily fresh fish, thoughtful presentation, and a diverse menu that blends Japanese and French influences. Diners highlight standout dishes such as grilled lamb skewers with chimichurri, Suzuki Crudo, Sashimi Moriawase, Otoro Nigiri, and the Momiji Box, a chef's tasting that showcases a variety of flavors and textures; the Momiji salad and other greens receive nods. The cod cheeks are often singled out for rich flavor when perfectly prepared, though one note mentions slight variation in texture on a later visit. The duck tataki, foie gras skewers, truffle maki, and mazemen options like cod mazemen and truffle mazemen are repeatedly praised for depth and balance. Desserts, including a vanilla raspberry option and inventive mousse desserts, receive enthusiastic endorsements, as do cocktails and sake pairings. While some diners find prices steep, the overall experience is described as memorable, with attentive service and a welcoming atmosphere that invites a return visit.
this was bussinnnnn like the food was amazing,the lights & comforting music just sets the vibe,the staff was extremely friendly & helpful,helping us with every decision,& giving us advice on what to choose,the tuna maki was WOOOOOO like the best thing ever.must try.we had the carpaccio,the first dessert on the list (forgot the name),the sashimi (i recommend to ask for more nori sheets)& the tuna maki.
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.

The sashimi & sushi are truly fresh & delicious. The sashimi isn't dry at all-it's plump, juicy, & perfectly textured.
The truffle mazemen has a rich, deep flavor. It's not greasy, & the truffle aroma really shines through. A must-try.
The staff are friendly, & the interior design is stylish & well thought out.
Highly recommended.
Amazing !!!! The sashimi was so fresh , it melts in your mouth . My favorite was the grilled squid , grilled right & seasoned to perfection . The restaurant is small, cozy & pretty .
Resto is such a good vibe. Their raw fish are the best I've had in North America. Servers are all super chill & friendly. Highly recommend their Sashimi Moriawase & lamb skewers.

The place is charming, clean, & modern, with warm dim lighting & good music.
The staff were kind & efficient.
The food is original, complex, & flavorful. (I recommend the duck tataki as a starter-perfect for foie gras lovers-& the black truffle maki, along with other creative sushi pairings & delicious sashimi.)
The wonderful owner is often present, guiding guests with wine or sake pairings & helping with dessert choices, all infused with the French-Japanese fusion spirit.
Overall: excellent Japanese fusion cuisine, a great location, & efficient, attentive staff.
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
