Momoya Chelsea

The sushi is delicious! They offer great lunch deals with large portions. Service is efficient and friendly. I will definitely be coming back often.

Delicious sushi good energy and great drinks. They don’t take a reservation so expect to wait a bit. Wish they stayed open later.

Being a West Coaster visiting New Yorker, I will admit that my expectations are very high on sushi. However, I did enjoy the crispy rice roll and chirashi don. The zen ambiance does add to the simplistic joy of eating sushi - I would recommend as a place for two.

Came here on a Friday night around 7:15pm and only had to wait 15mins to get seated. This restaurant doesn’t take reservations, you need to be there in person to add yourself to the waiting list. We really liked the food and the vibe was chill and relaxed

Ooooh I waited so long to finally get a spot here! There’s not always a wait, but whenever I was walking by at rush hour there was one! I think it moves pretty fast because it all is very efficient when you walk in. Tables are close, but nothing new for a New Yorker. We didn’t go there for elbow room did we?! The ricotta edamame dumpling with truffle sauce alone is worth overhearing your neighbor’s conversation. The crispy rice is fantastic and some of the best I’ve had. All the rolls were yummy too. Definitely would say you can get the classics, but urge you check out their more unique dishes - they’re special! 10/10 will go back.

And the staff was the SWEETEST!

Momoya is one of my absolute favorite restaurants. My husband and/or I eat here almost once per week. It's always fresh and delicious. We bring people here all the time from out of town and they always fall in love with it.

Favorites and musts are the bento box as well as the crispy tuna rice but I honestly love almost everything. Come during lunch as there is almost never a wait for a table and slightly reduced price menu. Dinner doesn't take reservations and there is almost always a wait.

Only negative thing to say is that the atmosphere was SO much nicer when they had the garage doors they could raise for an open air experience. This is no longer possible because of a hideous wooden shed they affixed during the pandemic to the front of the restaurant for additional seating.

The food isn't cheap, but the experience is almost always delightful.
