" This little restaurant is simply delightful. The food is tasty, and they offer quite a few comfort dishes that hit the spot. I truly love their tempura! I ordered here twice already since discovering it. Both times, the service was warm and inviting. I think the pricing is quite fair considering the quality of the food. Definitely recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Stumbled upon this place after work and I'm glad I did! The sushi was decent, but it didn’t wow me. The owners were welcoming, but I was hoping for more in terms of authenticity. It has potential, just needs a tiny bit of tweaking to the recipes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Momoyama was an unexpected delight! Though it’s small and simple, the food packs a flavor punch. I tried their spicy salmon roll and was pleasantly surprised by the freshness. Though there was only one server, the service was attentive and warm. A lovely place to unwind after a busy day! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wanted to love Momoyama, but unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed. The sushi lacked the flavors I was hoping for, and the ambiance didn't feel quite right to me. However, the owners were friendly and accommodating, making it a pleasant experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited last weekend and had the teriyaki chicken bento. While the taste was decent, the portion was a bit underwhelming considering the price. I wished for a little more substance. The friendly service made up for some of my disappointment, as they were quick and accommodating. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love this restaurant! It really feels like a hidden gem in the city. The sushi rolls were fresh and the bento box I ordered was divine. The ratio of rice to fillings was balanced perfectly. The owners have created such a warm and welcoming atmosphere, it's hard not to want to return. They were attentive without being intrusive, which I appreciated. " (*Curated Review*)

" The bento box I had was delicious, but I wish the portions were a bit more generous as it didn't quite fill me up. Still, the warmth of the couple running the place and the homely atmosphere really made up for it. I would recommend giving Momoyama a shot if you want a cozy meal in the city. " (*Curated Review*)
