My colleague and I were holding a training in Renton and decided sushi was the choice for lunch afterwards. There are lots of options in Bellevue and Kirkland, almost overwhelming, but we settled on Momoya based on others reviews. I'm not sure what happened but my experience wasn't quite as "5 star" as others seemed to have :/ I ordered the Lotto roll and Miami Heater and was pretty disappointed. Both rolls lacked overall texture and the albacore/tilapia on top was basically room temperature. Not super appealing for sushi, unfortunately. My colleague ordered tataki which I tried and enjoyed, and she seemed to really like her lunch sashimi. The miso and salad that came with a lunch meal were both really tasty, we especially enjoyed the dressing on the salad. The service was lackluster as well, seemed like maybe there were friends of the restaurant who were dining and taking up most of the attention of the one server. Water was refilled once, at the end of our meal nonetheless, and green tea never refilled once. Personally, given all of the options are the area I probably wouldn't choose to come back here.

a good place for lunch but not dinner. not too many choices.
My favorite local sushi place. Family run and operated. The sushi is fresh and delicious. Love their (from scratch) gyoza.
Always super friendly, always super delicious, but especially currently (Corona time) due to super high demand very long waiting times for a pick up delivery (90 minutes), also some confusion of order items every now and then. I’d normally reduce my 5-star recommendation here, but they’re really, really delicious, which is why I don’t even tho the long wait makes us not order every now and then recently, but in total that just proves their quality, I guess :)
Small unnasumming front, but the food is always great and VERY reasonable prices. Quick service, great for work lunch.
Delicious and fresh sushi and sashimi. Forgive the family owned place for the burnt out sign, the scuffed up floor and the mismatch tables. It’s all about the food at reasonable prices. Eater approved, takes Amex, and plenty of parking in the strip mall. Recommend reservations after 5:30! Can go in sweatpants! Will return when visiting the Seattle area.
Wish I found this place earlier since I live nearby. It's a hole-in-wall Japanese restaurant that is simply the best in the neighbourhood! And I've been to them all, being a Japanese cuisine fan. I got higher quality food here than some of the other more expensive places. We order the Super Deluxe Sushi, Kirkland roll and Caterpillar. I was delighted that the salmon served is Wild Alaskan and none of that farmed salmon that is bad for you. Since I ordered the super deluxe sushi, the waiter started me with a side salad and miso soup. In the side salad, the chef paid enough attention to layer the dressing between the salad itself so you get the tasty creamy goma (sesame) dressing throughout instead of just at the top, like in so many other restaurants. The miso soup was lovely with a rich thick taste just the way I like it. The super deluxe came with uni (sea urchin) that was really fresh, creamy, sweet... so umami! I never liked uni having tried it several times at other high-end Japanese restaurants. But I think this place has converted me to an uni-lover. Not sure if that's a good thing since uni is an expensive habit ;) The sushi size is just perfect. I've been to so many places in which the rice portion is so big that it's overpowering the fish. I noticed that the tempura is done just right too, with a light crunchiness that is not oily at all. The chefs definitely know what they're doing! The service was friendly and good, and I was surprised that the waiter could manage it so well even with a full house. Would definitely come here again (it'll likely be my new favorite japanese place in the neighborhood). Great value for proper Japanese food.
This is a family favorite of ours! We have been visiting regularly for years even though none of us live on the east side any more. Number one place grandma and grandpa want to visit when they’re in town. Super friendly family runs everything from front of house to the kitchen. Must try options: salmon teriyaki, H2-Roll (it’s listed on a chalkboard above the sushi bar!), gyoza and the calamari!! Don’t forget to squeeze the lemon on it - so delicious
