Momiji is a very good sushi restaurant. I've had numerous rolls here (the Buddha is my favorite) and the food has always been fresh and tasty. The vegetable noodle bowls are very satisfying and the portion is just right for me. The decor is average and the service is very fast and friendly. For better Japanese you'll have to drive an hour.
Review Source:We used to go here regularly (3-4 times a month) since it opened. Late last year my husband and I had a complaint and the owner treated us with rancor and utter disrespect. We have since not gone and turned our business over to Asia across the street, which is cleaner and less expensive and where the owner knows how important it is to treat customers with respect and consideration.
In addition, during the last year Momiji has looked dirty and my hubby once got sick after eating there. One of the servers is particularly rude and even sarcastic. And the owner (not David who used to be here before he opened Momiji in Rhinebeck) is not customer-friendly.
Best sushi in the area, including New Paltz and Kingston area. Â I don't agree with the expense listed for the restaurant. Â This place is no more expensive than other sushi joints, $20-25 a person if you're not drinking. Â I've been here with my wife several times now, usual order is 2 of the bigger rolls ($14-15), 2 of the smaller ($5-7), an order or 2 of sushi and a seaweed salad, right around $50.
The quality is excellent, the only reason I didn't give 5 stars is the service is inconsistent. Â 2 times we've been there the service has been slow as molasses, on a not particularly busy night. Â The other 2 times the service has been fine.
Regardless, this is our preferred spot for sushi.
Always get take-out from here, never been disappointed. All ingredients are very fresh and they have a great selection of rolls. Mexican roll is my favorite and they make it better than anywhere else around. Can't say much for their table service as I always get take-out. Here and Hoikaido in New Paltz are the best sushi I've had.
Review Source:Moved up to Ulster Co.from the city and was amazed to find such a treat awaiting me. Choices are few up here and fewer in winter and to find a cozy sushi bar was balm to the soul. I eat the fish so I cannot really pass judgement on most of the cooked entrees - though I have had a delicious fork-full on occasion. The service is first-rate, friendly and helpful but very discreet. The range of sakes is solid, as is the Japanese beer selection. I have no quibble with paying good money for good product as I get at Momiji - but it is not cheap.
Review Source:The best sushi restaurant in Ulster county, and I would also venture to say Dutchess as well. The owner has said a second one opened in Rhinebeck. Everything is very well prepared and the fish is very fresh. The restaurant it self is very stylish like our favorite ones out in California. If you sit at the sushi bar ask the head chef to make something creative off menu, you will not be disappointed.
Review Source:I tried Momiji for the first time two weeks ago. Â I wasn't feeling all that well so avoided sushi. Â I ordered the King Crab Soup, Vegetable Spring Rolls, and hot tea. Â
The soup was warm, filling, delicious, and had huge chunks of king crab. Â The spring rolls were light, delicate, and very tasty. Â The servers were very nice and attentive. I will definitely be going back to try the sushi.
