Gosh I could eat here everyday if I was a king. Every drink I’ve ordered, both alcoholic and virgin, have been so delicious. Ingredients are so fresh and full tasting. This is definitely my favorite restaurant in Seattle and I wish I could turn the clock back and have my partner and I’s first date here.

Tasty, simple but significant happy hour menu for sushi lovers. The spider roll is a personal favorite. In good weather there is an inner courtyard with tranquil Japanese ambiance; Rare to have "outdoor" dining in this neighborhood that doesn't involve a noisy street view. We had swift, friendly service. Make a reservation, the waiting area is tiny and without seating. Cheers.

The sushi rolls we ordered from the happy hour menu had fish that was falling apart. The texture was smushed. The meat did not look fresh.

Ordered a bunch of hot dishes. Seafood gyoza needed a little more flavor. Calamari was delicious, including the salad, but was slightly overdressed. Noodle texture wonderful, but chicken added was bland. Would definitely go again, but next time order all sushi rolls, as the Philly roll we got was wonderfully full. Service amazing, and the restaurant is beautiful.

Great experience at Momiji. The hostess took are to honor a special request for one of our party who is very hard of hearing ( her name is Carmen). The server was so professional, prompt and friendly. And the food was superb, from the outstanding miso soup to the inventive rolls, made with the freshest fish. Already planning a return trip!

If the only thing that matters to you is excellent food, then you should go here. The food was really terrific. If however, you want to have at least somewhat of an "experience" when you dine out -- one that includes feeling welcomed upon arrival, actually hearing your companions and not being rushed every step of the way, then go elsewhere. The first thing that greets you upon arrival to the restaurant's host is a sign telling you that you are essentially on the clock (1.5 hours for tables of 2-3, two hours for tables of 4-6). It's a bit of a turnoff, especially when you're spending over $200 for dinner. Your butt is barely on the chair when the staff begin questioning you about what you'd like to drink. And only moments later, they're asking you what you'd like to eat. The restaurant is also very loud making it necessary to speak at an elevated volume just to hear your companions. After you take your last bite of entree, don't expect dessert or coffee, but rather expect the check to be dropped off the moment you put your fork down. And if you're at or close to the end of your allotted time, you'll be told that there are other parties waiting. I'm a former server and so am sympathetic to a degree -- it's how they make their money -- but this just felt excessive.

The happy hour items have drastically fallen in quality. The rolls contain so much rice, and my unagi roll didn't really have much, if any. I know the point of happy hours is to entice customers to spend more on discounted menu items. However, the restaurant has begun to discount the quality of these items as well. Otherwise, the ambiance and cleanliness of the place were nice and worth noting.

We’re not fans of digital menus but it was not a problem as our server was quick to bring conventional menus. Even though it was incredibly busy (we had an 8:30p reservation) she was generous with her time and helpful when asked about different dishes. Her recommendations were spot on. Sushi, sashimi, hand rolls and specialty rolls were all delicious. We were there for about 2 hours and she was attentive, engaged and upbeat throughout. The four stars for ambiance was only because of a larger party seated across from us. They were clearly celebrating and pleasant enough just super loud.

Delicious sushi and cocktails. Ordered Panda Roll, Unagi, Pike Place Roll, Shrimp and Crab tempura rolls. Nice ambience for evening out. A couple of things, our service was not as good as the previous time - unfriendly and not helpful server. I put it was a special occasion, a birthday and nothing was acknowledged.

It was a lovely late dinner before closing and our waitress was so nice and we got served really quickly. The miso soup and sushi were all so tasty. And it’s such a pretty restaurant.

Very noisy place with long wait. Service was really slow and bad. Took more than an hour from seated to order, get our food and was only allocated 1.5h eating time. The service staff was rude and kept ignoring us. Would not recommend

I know the motive here and to capitalize on most customers in and out for monetary purposes, but it’s so disruptive to a nice experience to kick people out at the 90 min mark.
