"This was an amazing omakase experience for celebrating a birthday. From the moment we walked in chef Chris made us feel welcome and was enthusiastic about helping us experience what he is so passionate about! Every dish was well thought out, creative, and unique. There was not one bite that we didn’t enjoy and his recommendation for sake was spot on. It was one of our favorite omakase experiences in Boston and we can’t wait to go back!"

"We got the uni tasting set and 2 donburi for takeout. The uni was very fresh, amongst our favourites, along with the otoro and sea bream. Tastefully packaged for takeout and we were quite stuffed for $$$. Very fresh fish. The chawanmushi was also amazing. So many fishes that we have never tasted before!! Extremely worth it for the price."

"This is an incredible experience. Tasting menu with an array of different fish, and the chef makes many of the dishes right in front of you. We felt like we had the restaurant to ourselves. Definitely going to be our special occasion spot going forward. Probably the best omakase spot in Boston. The sake was really good too. We shared two different bottles and the chef was able to tell us about them. Can’t wait to go back."

"Good selection of fish and superb service. Can go at your own pace. Chris puts all the fish slice in front of you so you can nib if he‘s at other tables instead of starving."

"Momi Nonmi offers a refreshing take on the traditional omakase experience, an adventure that Chef Chris crafts with an individualistic touch. Celebrating my friend's birthday here turned out to be a unique culinary voyage, one that dared to defy convention. Momi Nonmi's layout differs from your typical omakase establishment. With no sushi bar in sight, Chef Chris transformed our table into his stage, preparing his seafood masterpieces right before our eyes. This novel approach may lack the sheen of opulence that some may expect, but it offers a different kind of charm, giving us an intimate insight into the chef's work. The hallmark of Chef Chris's style is his bold selection of ingredients. Rather than sticking to traditional nigiri choices, he uses unconventional elements to take your taste buds by surprise. Standout dishes included the cherry blossom char and scallops. However, not all experiments hit the mark - the torched bluefin tuna fell a bit short of expectations. If you crave novelty and have an adventurous palate, this place will not disappoint. However, for those new to omakase or expecting a classical introduction, this might not be the most fitting option. Regardless, the uniqueness of Chef Chris's approach is undeniable, making Momi Nonmi a worthy destination for a distinctive omakase experience."
