Momotaro Sushi

"The rolls they have available are interesting, but the sushi itself lacks any sort of punch and the flavors are underwhelming. By no means bad sushi, but also does not elevate to the level of some other sushi restaurants in the city. If someone put this in front of me, I would absolutely eat it, but I don't see myself going out of my way to have another meal here."

"My husband and I discovered Momotaro while walking around Carytown, and we decided to try it a couple of weeks ago. He's from NYC, so he's had a lot of good Japanese food over the years. We tried the miso soup first, and we immediately knew we'd found a gem of a place. Next we tried their Angie roll and Double Rainbow roll - perfection. The shumai was literally the best we've ever had. We also got a pot of hot green tea, which normally I'm not a fan of. Theirs was SO good we finished the whole pot together. We ordered shrimp hibachi next, and it was just as delicious as everything else. We had strawberry mochi with ice cream for dessert (honestly the best mochi I've had). Service was great - prompt and polite. The chef came out to check on everything a few times and he was super polite and grateful. We both agree this is one of our new favorite restaurants we've ever eaten at. We went back again tonight and ordered the miso soup, Angie roll, shumai, green tea, and mochi ice cream again, and tried their shrimp curry bowl. Of course we loved that too! I can't recommend Momotaro enough!!"

"Ordered via GrubHub: Got two simple spicy rolls ($6.50 each) and a Kani salad ($7.50). Did not get what I paid for, and the taste isn't lacking, it is just missing. Rice tasted funky, and no flavors in the tuna/salmon. The spicy wasn't even there. The salad was mainly a leaf of lettuce with very little fake crab meat as it was. It was flavorful, but wasn't much so definitely a loss on almost $30. I did save $3 since it was my first, and last, time ordering from this restaurant."

"Sushi is an art. It’s a rice dish as well. You absolutely have to get the rice right or it’s not good. The rice was so wet I couldn’t even tell if it was sushi grade rice. Fish was not fresh."

"Daughter and I love to try new sushi restaurants. We wanted to go down to Cary Street on a Saturday night to be able to walk around and check out some of the other stores. We had never been to Momotaro, so we thought we would give it a try. We were a tad worried since it was like 7pm on a Saturday night and we were the only people in the place and only ones the whole time we were there. We did see quite a bit of to go orders to go though. We ordered a Eel Dragon roll, eel roll, spicy tuna and tempura shrimp roll. The gentleman that waited on us was super nice and quick to help us out. Our order didn't take overly long to get made why we're waiting though they have a pretty cool saltwater fish tank setup for my daughter and I watch the fish for a while which was kind of fun. The decor is pretty cool, not a very large place maybe 10 tables or so and they had 1 table set up out on the sidewalk. Both my daughter and I thought the sushi was really good. I thought the quality was pretty top-notch and the size of the rules we're pretty filling. Don't know if it was a fluke and just a time and when we went with no one there but this place should definitely be much busier. When we venture back down to Cary Street again for sushi, I'm sure we would be stopping in."
