Mo Mo West Japanese Restaurant

My wife and I always enjoy our meals here. Last time we were there, the chef overheard is talking about how we like things real spicy. He then sent out a special spicy sauce for us and it was very good.

My daughter and I came here for lunch last week… being born and raised in Hawaii I would say that I’m very familiar with sushi. With that being said, I would say their sushi is ok. My rating isn’t so much a reflection of their food itself but more about their customer service.
Our rule when trying a new place is to just buy 1 or 2 items so we can see how we like it and figure out if we’d want to order more. When I placed my to-​go order I planned on ordering 3 items: 2 rolls and 1 order of ahi, my total should have been about 15 dollars. It wasn’t until a few minutes after I paid that I realized I was charged double. So I went back in to ask what she charged me for and she tells me the order and it wasn’t what I ordered so I ask if it could be corrected. She goes back towards the kitchen to tell the entire staff the I made a mistake and wanted to change my order instead of OWNING UP to her mistake of charging me for the wrong item. I wouldn’t have been as irritated if she had just apologized and said she mis-​understood me or whatever… but the way she handled herself really ticked me off.
Now as for the rolls itself, they’re a bit smallish for the price and the flavor (or lack of) was a little bland. They give a cup or teriyaki sauce for everything, maybe to help with the lack of taste in their sushi? Maybe that’s just what the customers like? I don’t know.
On the plus, their ahi (tuna) to rice ratio was surprising on the nigiri! I expected there to be more rice and less ahi but it was the opposite for which made me happy. Despite the fact that their ahi is preiously frozen, there was still nice coloring and flavor to the fish. If it wasn’t for this I would have said I’m never going back there, but because of their tuna nigiri, I MAY be back to take my husband there. That’s a big maybe!
And, Momo Sushi, if you read this you need to correct your spelling of POKEY to POKE (pronounced POH-​KAY). If you’re not gonna spell it right then maybe you should rename it!

I really wish I had another waitress. The reviews on this place made me want to stop by and eat here while on vacation. Unfortunately the waitress I had was SO CLUELESS and air headed. She brought our food out casually and didn’t even bother mentioning they were out of some sushi pieces we had initially ordered. So we kinda sat there clueless until we questioned her. Service took really long as well.
After giving her my debit card with the check, she again forgets to bring everything back to our table. So again, we sat there like «hey I do need my card back to leave.»
As for the sushi, it’s okay. Not the best I’ve eaten.
Wouldn’t consider coming back.

This place is legit the best restaurant in Colorado that I’ve been to so far. I am from the East coast and this food is amazing.

This is by far the best Sushi bar in all of Pueblo. The wife and I frequent here whenever we are kid free and have time for a date night. The staff is very attentive and the owners will offer up free appetizers to tables at random. Very affordable and always a free table.

Take it from someone that spent almost every day in this restaurant for about a year and a half, this place is great. It is still my favorite restaurant in Colorado. I’ve been a regular customer for 4 years, and I was a server there for a year and a half. I only quit to move out of state. I’ve done my research on sushi bars in the area, there are no others in southern colorado that have this quality of food for the price. I’ve studied culinary arts for 2 years, and I’m ServSafe certified, and I can tell you, they follow all food safety and sanitation rules. The owner of this restaurant is one of the hardest workers I’ve ever seen, and he treats all of his employees so well. If you’re the kind of person that likes to know where your money is going, just know, it couldn’t go to a better owner. This sushi bar is definitely the best one around.

Love this place. Great food and great service. Will definitely be going back. Never have any problems here. Great place to take kids.

Amazing sushi and meals !! i love their current FREE hot sake special and the crunch roll. and mochi to finish off an amazing meal. join their NEW facebook page with a menu at:

Not impressed lately. Others have commented on the small portion of seaweed salad, $ 5 for a small but tasty serving. The Sushi bento had three pieces of sushi, a small blob of seaweed salad and a decent portion of California rolls. My spicy pork bento was good, really nice side of tempura veggies and shrimp. Salmon was good and cooked right. Server could use some instruction. Sake cups were brought on her fingertips… Service is a tad slow with one sushi chef on a Sunday night.

The sushi here is neither the best nor the worst I’ve enjoyed. It is acceptably good. The bento bowls are better imho. The place is clean. They have a practice of occasionally sending samples of sushi around to expand people’s awareness of their sushi offerings. I’ve found some things I like as a result. Their crunchy caterpillar roll is quite tasty. We eat here occasionally and, as others have said, the food is consistent. The décor is kind of trendy and dark.

Far from spectacular. Unimpressive atmosphere. A ridiculously small portion of seaweed salad for $ 5!
The place was busy, so at least someone thinks its OK. Then again, Pueblo West has no other options for sushi.

Good food with decent prices but absolutely horrible service! We sat at our table for 20 minutes, saw two other groups of guests get sat after we did AND they got drinks and orders taken before us. No one came to talk to us after we were sat. I don’t know if anyone would have even noticed us if my husband wouldn’t have shown his frustration to the sushi chef. So disappointed. No going back.

Good, fresh sushi at a decent price!

Unlike other sushi bars, this one is consistent with their menu items. Always taste the same no matter who’s behind the counter. Several menu items and lots to choose from. Needs new carpet or no carpet at all. Maybe a little more tlc with the décor. But that doesn’t matter, I’ll still visit again and again. The chefs are pretty good about having me try something I’ve never had before.

would have never thought legit fresh sushi in pueblo west CO been here about 3 times now (every time i come home to visit mom and pops) and its been awesome everytime, nice staff, and avg prices… worth checkin out!

Most of the sushi in the area is good and Mo Mo West is right on par. Their staff on the other hand is typically more patient and helpful. As a local looking for sushi, I am willing to take the extra five minute drive to Mo Mo West.

This place is a great find. It is casual in appearance but the food is classy. Try the jalapeño sushi and the soft shell crab appetizers. YUMMY!
The is a Pueblo must try. You will love it.

A lot of hype here. The place is average. Its not bad at all, but nothing to really brag about. I prefer Miyaki’s in town over this place any day. Look, if you are in pueblo west looking for a decent sushi place, definitely stop here. However if you have the time to drive a little further, go to Miyaki’s on the north side or Sushi Garden on the south side. The atmosphere is much better at both places, and so is the quality! Sorry Mo Mo West fans, you just haven’t sold me here yet. Sushi fans that live in Pueblo West come here for convenience.

So we had a getaway weekend near Pueblo, Colorado. It was mid-​afternoon, getting hungry, then low and behold a Sushi Bar! So we drove up to the inviting restaurant. Inside we were greeted with «Irashimasen» by the hostess. So we sat and studied the menu. There was a pretty good variety of rolls and the prices were decent. It was cool outside so we ordered Hot Green Tea. We were treated with two side salads. One with the typical Miso dressing, the other with a very delicious Orange ginger dressing mixed with freshly minced carrots. We ordered the nigirizushi combo plate. Nice presentation, good taste, and not chewy. Next, a cut roll made with eel and cucumber inside with salmon blanketing the outside. The mix was good since the eel inside was a little crispy which complimented the soft orange exterior. The chef provided regular and hot ponzo, plus regular and spicy eel sauces on the side. To top off our meal we had an eye and mouth pleasing Anenimi roll (salmon base, avocado, crab, with green onion inside). This was our dessert. We couldn’t destroy the sushi flavor with something sweet this time!
