Great food, very overpriced for what it is. The shabu shabu is over $140 for mostly cabbage and sprouts with a little meat. Not worth the price

Very authentic, even though they serve sushi, the emphasis on quality beef and sukiyaki etc. it is not your typical Japanese dining experience. The food was outstanding - just delicious.

This restaurant did not look like anything much from the outside. However, I was impressed that most of the patrons were Japanese, since this was a Japanese restaurant. I loved the shabu shabu and sukiyaki, which were very popular here. I would definitely go back and recommend it to others. The service was very efficient and courteous, and the people on either side of us, at somewhat close quarters, we’re all very pleasant and friendly.

It was kind of crowded and loud in the restaurant when it was full. Sukiyaki was pretty good but expected to be salty. We have two people and ordered a small bottle of sake, a set of wagyu sukiyaki, fried oyster and toro sashimi. Enough foods for two of us. Service was good.

We ordered sukiyaki for 2, and some stuff, to be honest, the sushi was bland, and the wagyu tasted good, but it was just the most worthy thing. I don't think other tables gonna be charged 20% tips. But that's fine, maybe it was Thanksgiving... It also is my boyfriend’s birthday so I don't want to judge anybody, but I don't think I will be back..

The waiters are not able to follow up customers' needs even if there are not so many tables occupied. We waited for the sukiyaki meat for over 15 minutes before it was served. Besides, compared to other sukiyaki store's price, it is not worth eating here because of the high price; the regular miyazaki wagyu was sold higher than other restaurants did. if you are looking for a traditional place for sukiyaki, momokawa is not a good choice, but it can be a place for visiting
