I was blown away by the quality of the food. I've been to a few other hibachi places like this, and they were nowhere near as good and about twice as expensive. The owner made some excellent suggestions about what to order. He recommended that we try the special, which was Tuna, and it was absolutely divine. I ordered lobster once at Kobe and it came out all funky and rubbery, but here at Momiji the tuna came out fabulously. It was flavorful but not fishy, and very tender and flaky. Honestly, the tuna here was better than the steak at Kobe!! My fiancee doesn't even like fish and he LOVED this tuna! NOTHING got burnt (which I found impressive since even Kobe usually burns something be it the veggies, rice, or meat). The staff was extremely friendly and relaxed, and the chef was very entertaining and competently juggled his cooking utensils. Oh, and the sushi was delightful as well! Actually, everything was excellent (the soup, salad, sauces, etc). The prices are extremely reasonable for the fantastic quality of the food. We had an absolutely top notch dinner for two for about $40 plus tip (we even got a sushi appetizer and sodas) on a Friday night. The decor is simple and pretty. They have a collection of beautiful parasols hanging from the ceiling which I enjoyed looking at, a few little fountains, and other nice touches. Another bonus is that there was absolutely no wait. They don't make you sit around for an hour waiting for the chef to come cook your food. They also have a kids menu, which I thought was a cool idea. It's nice to see a place like this cater to children. I want to bring my kid next time. Over all, I love this place and they've won a repeat customer for sure. Go check it out! (I don't work there and I'm not related to the owner or anything FYI...I just really loved this restaurant. Not sure what the negative review was about. Maybe works for the competition?)
Pros: exquisite food, fantastic presentation, friendly servers, awesome prices
