Momoya Japanese Restaurant

We had a few of the sushi rolls.  They weren't bad, but overpriced for what you get.  Not good enough to make us want to come back.  Nice staff and quick service.

This place makes me sad. We've driven by this little strip mall time and time again, always saying, "We've gotta try that out since it's so close." The reviews and star rating made it seem like a good choice.

Don't get me wrong: the service was really good. Everyone was really nice and our waitress always kept our water glasses filled and checked up on us frequently.

But the food. We ordered the agedashi tofu and hibachi scallops for appetizers. The tofu itself wasn't that bad, but the gluey texture of the outside was kinda gross. The scallops had a weird taste to them, almost soapy. I'm guessing that's from the liquid that some seafood companies like to inject into small scallops to plump them up.

For the rolls, we ordered the Crunch, Futomaki, and Momoya. I was not impressed with any of them. I'm not sure which sauce it was, but either the spicy mayo (which wasn't) or wasabi mayo (which didn't taste like wasabi) was way too cloyingly sweet. It completely overpowered everything we ate, even when a roll didn't have any sauce on it. There were 2-3 pieces left and we both shook our heads while saying, "You finish it. No, YOU finish it." which is sad because I don't like being dared to eat something that's mediocre.

Maybe the rolls aren't where it's at, but I'm not rushing back anytime soon, if ever.

We loved the sushi here!  Our server was a little slow but she was very nice!
