Momiji Japanese Restaurant

Im not sure why the reviews of Momiji are so bad but then again, I have not gone here in a while so management must have changed.
Going back from when I use to go often, service was great. Its a cute little family owned restaurant with fresh Sashimi. I liked that they have private dining areas much like in Japan, it makes dining feel more intimate. Anyway, I don’t have much to complain about Momiji other than that they dont have a wide selection, and that the décor is quite outdated. Food is decent, service was great.
*Edited Review: Apparently this place is no longer in business. It seems I may have miscalculated the last time I ate here. I really did enjoy it while it lasted.

I will agree with the other reviews: the food was ok, at least the food that got to us:) the did miss on our order and we had to re-​order. We did have to stand up few times and give them the god damn sheet, and let me make a note, there were only 2 other tables besides us.(imagine how would they drown in a drop of water if the place gets busy)
Oh, the salmon:) the poor teriyaki salmon was smoked to ashes:) just avoid it… unless you are into burned food: p
I had to ask twice and actually chase the «oh so busy» waitress to give me the bill. I paid 10% for the tip and only because I was in a good mood. Would I go again… hum…not high likely.

After reading the reviews, I am bit hestitate to go there. But it is picked by the host, I have to give it a try. The restaurant is more than half full when I arrived. We are at the corner table which is a separate separated area.
We order all the sushi, sashimi, udon, teriyaki and udon. There are some items that can order only once. Each one can order a pop. The dishes arrive one after another. Then we find out that some dishes did not arrive. The manager who serves our table told us that the dishes are really missing. Sorry about that and we have to put order on the order sheet again. The shrimp teriyaki will have to wait a while as there are a lot of customers. However the eel is all gone. How come they never tell us when we order!
Although the manager rectifies all the situations, the memory is not that good. But he tries his best. The food taste is not bad.

Me and my friends decided to try this place out despite reading the reviews online… we should have listened to you guys =(.
We arrived there around 8:30 pm and they made us wait while they had to clear up a table… even when there were barely any customers there… so there were other tables available. The service was the worst I’ve ever seen in my entire life! They took forever to come get our order sheet and we had to get up TWICE to give them the order sheet. I guess the sushi was okay but I don’t remember it being great. The bill came up to $ 100 for 4 people and the server even asked me to tip her when the service was non-existant…no, I did not tip her.
Me and my friends will not be coming back anytime soon… more like not coming back ever.

We optimistically decided to give this a go, despite the poor online reviews on Unilocal and restaurantica. Next time I’ll heed the advice from fellow foodies and listen to their the warnings. The service was barely non-​existent. We had to aggresively keep giving our order sheets, despite the fact that we were seated right by the counter. Many items that were ordered did not come at all. They were hording wasabi like it was being rationed — and I guess ginger is a luxury as we never received one sliver. Our water never came and tea was topped up once, at the end of the meal. So many items we ordered never arrived. If after reading this, you still decide to brave this place, I suggest you keep track of your orders on a separate order sheet that you don’t give to the staff. Overall, such a poor experience — the bill was over $ 100 for the 4 of us. For that, you can go to a decent sushi place and get a big boat and some other dishes. Seriously, don’t think that «all-​you-​can-​eat sushi» — what a steal. The exact opposite.

been coming here for the past two years, have told family and friends about this place… all good… until my last two visits.
SLOW service to the point of frustration. (our sushi sat at the sushi counter for close to 10 minutes before the waiter noticed it)
MASSIVE maki pieces with tons of rice, I should of taken a photo of this disgusting monster.
I don’t know if its new management or what, but it will be our LAST visit to this sushi restaurant.
*the visit was on sunday night. oct 31 2010
