Momo Sushi Cafe

We ordered take out from here on our recent trip to Kelowna. We had the salmon sashimi, toro sashimi, negitoro, chopped scallop, dynamite, veggie, and banzai rolls, and a beef short rib teriyaki. I wasn’t expecting much but when we got arrived at our hotel room with the take out order I was blown away. The sashimi was melt-​in-​your-​mouth goodness. The fish was fresh and quality was great. All the rolls were amazing. The teriyaki was also delicious and it came with a miso soup. It was easy to finish off everything as the food was seriously amazing. I’d come back again when I visit Kelowna.

Read previous Unilocal reviews, and based upon the positive feedback decided to eat here.
I came here for dinner on a Monday, and it was quite busy. We didn’t have to wait for a table and were asked almost immediately about drinks.
We ordered the chicken teriyaki and tempura dinner, unagi don, udon, California roll, and 4 pieces of tomato sushi.
First off, I have to say how quick everything came out. The sushi was made fresh, (no premade rolls that have been refrigerated). The other food also came out piping hot. The chicken teriyaki comes on a hot plate, and was also served with some veggies. The only thing missing was maybe a bowl of rice. I think it should come with the meal.
The unagi don and udon were also served hot.
As a quick note on the tamago sushi, it appears the tamago itself is made in house. It’s not the usual tamago that is premade and brought in. This is a big deal to me, as it’s my and the rest of the families favorite.
Kelowna has quite a few Japanese restaurants, so I’m off to try another today. If this were one of the only ones to eat at, I’d be back the next day lol.
Still on a quest to find my favorite Japanese restaurant to eat at while vacationing here.

When first looking at the menu, it would appear that the items are somewhat expensive… But it is definitely worth the money.
I ordered the «Unagi donburi», complemented with a side of Miso soup. The dish was very tasty, and had a very good teriyaki sauce!
The good part, about when I went anyway, is that the food comes out very fast, I literally only had to wait for 2 – 3 minutes, the food is very hot, fresh, and tasty.
I will definitely come back in the future!

This is probably my favourite place to eat in all of Kelowna. Their service is excellent. Very friendly staff and the food is great. I don’t know how they do it but if you know what you want as soon as they place the order it’s at your table in less then 5 minutes. Unbelievable! Never once have I been there and had a bad experience. Food is always fresh and steaming hot.

Very good service, we love eating here, the only complaint is that it is a little tight in space. But we keep going back the food is very fresh and we like the party platters.

Food was okay, nothing too special. The rolls are really nice though, and I usually get combos or a special whenever I’m there. Great atmosphere and very quaint, though, which makes the experience even better.

Popped in yesterday for a snack while shopping on Bernard. Great little sushi spot! Fast service, yummy food, and love that they served us lemon water the moment we sat down. Would definitely come again!

The best sushi restaurant ever! Me and my wife recently moved to Vancouver, and we have yet to find a better sushi establishment than this one. Momo sushi has the most incredible spicy sauce in the world! Their spicy tuna/​salmon rolls are to die for, and if you think that’s good treat yourself to a Peter Roll, you will not be disappointed. We frequented this place 2 – 3 times per week and never had a bad experience. The staff are friendly and the food is always amazing. Whether you visit the location downtown, or the new one in the mission, the taste is consistent. A fantastic franchise that I hope expands to Vancouver one day.

Delicious! We like going to this Momo location as well as the West Kelowna location.
My boyfriend loves their crispy crispy roll and spicy tuna. Gotta love the spicy sauce!
Always a favourite.

Honestly I’ve been to a lot of sushi places and a damn lot of restaurants in general and I have never experienced worse service in my entire life, so bad in fact I’ve never writing a review before and felt obligated download Unilocal and write one just to save people from experiencing what I just did

We LOVE this place. Food comes incredibly fast, service is very attentive, and the quality is fantastic. We’ve been to many sushi places in our travels and Momo’s scores right at the top. Whenever we’re in Kelowna, we’ll be stopping by.

So tasty… had the spicy tuna roll and spicy veggie roll. The spicy veggie roll was DELICIOUS! !! Perfectly crispy tofu with loads of veg. Service with a smile to top it off. …asked for an ice cold beer, so she brought me cup of ice in case it wasn’t cold enough :)

I am not the type to write reviews but I was absolutely blown away by the speed of the service. Not even 5 minutes after we had placed our order (a large sushi boat) it was in front of us. The water was brought as soon as we sat down. Garbage was cleared from our table as soon as it was made. The people across from us got their food in under 2 minutes after ordering. I don’t know how they do it. Amazing service. The only reason I have given 4 stars instead of 5 is because the sushi was good but not the best I’ve had.

Really very good, fast and friendly service. I haven’t had sushi in awhile and was craving the dynamite roll and salmon nigiri. I got just that with a pot of smooth green tea. It was busy enough for a Monday afternoon, with a few people passing through for pick up orders. I ordered the Dynamite roll, 2peices of Salmon Nigiri and an avocado roll. I was very happy with my order, everything was fresh and yummy. Especially the salmon. I will definitely return for lunch, and bring a friend. It’s great for groups as well, so bring your peeps. The staff are very nice, and friendly to boot. Efficient service with great grub, can’t really go wrong.

simply amazing.
Generous and fresh sashimi portions

Got food poisoning from their dynamite roll, it wasn’t pretty. Barely got an apology from the manager.

Pretty good for a Sushi place 400k from the ocean. Being spoiled from Vancouver with great sushi places, i had moderate expectations.
Came in and was seated and attended to promptly. Ordered miso soup, gomae, salmon sashimi and a spicy tuna roll. It came out very quickly.
Miso was very good. Gomae was prepared in advance and came in a bit of a settled lump with no sauce that i could tell and more sesame seeds than freckles on a redheads face on a hot sunny day. A little strange. I was hesitant when i ordered 7pcs of sashimi for $ 13 but i must say it was worth it. I wish it were a little colder but the pcs were generous and it was after all, sockeye. Pretty good. The spicy tuna roll wasnt bad.
The service was awesome. Three staff all involved in serving, table maintenance and constant friendly smiles.
Its not Vancouver but overall pretty good and would come back for sure. Good job Momo.

Great service, good food. Sockeye salmon sashimi is fantastic. And the specialty rolls do not disappoint.

Really good sushi place in downtown Kelowna, with excellent vegetarian options for those of us who don’t do fish. My dining partner assures me that they have pretty decent fish, especially for an inland sushi bar
I recommend the spicy veggie roll, which is the perfect combination of crispy, creamy & spicy that I look for in veggie sushi (very good yam tempura). Even fish lovers should have a piece!
accessibility: washrooms are accessible. The front entrance is a little narrow and some areas are tight for manouverability around the tables, but most should be able to manage.
Service is usually speedy, & although it is generally busy for both lunch & dinner, seats do turn over quickly. You can often squeeze in at the bar if tables are full.

Double the price of the sushi dinner we just ate in Vancouver, and about half as good unfortunately, Momo seems to be a popular, friendly and crowded spot in Kelowna, but it wasn’t a great introduction to dining in the area.
Momo reminds me of a popular college all-​you-​can-​eat sushi spot, lots of rolls and specials & the waitress all appear to be young, friendly, well-​meaning, slightly discombobulated college students. Unfortunately, the prices imply they are going to hit a higher standard which they miss, especially on the set and combination menu items.
All beer is in bottles and they do serve local wines, which seems fitting in the BC wine country. On the other hand, our waitress giggled uncomfortably when we asked her about what she was serving, and had to run in the back to get a wine list and get information about what she had on offer. She giggled again and told us almost no one orders any of her red wine here. The tempura was a thick and greasy variety, and the nigiri is fresh, but thinly sliced. The spicy roll features a chopped/​minced fish, which isn’t usually a good sign, in my book, where rolls are concerned.
I can’t say that I’m a fan or share the excitement of the local crowd here. I don’t want to say its a two star spot though, for the sake of maybe hitting it on an off night, and not having tried other local businesses to gauge what is available in town. It seems very popular and crowded on a Sunday night in Kelowna, looking at the other spots in town that were open. For us, this turned out to be a functional meal, which is something I rarely say about sushi. It was also a poor value proposition. The one exception is the toro nigiri. Whatever you do, order toro anytime you can in Vancouver –this is priced so low here as to be gobbled down by the gallon!
If you do opt to come here, I recommend steering clear of any bento or sushi combo options, and just getting one or two sushi rolls solo. Hopefully, the rolls you order don’t feature minced fish. The pricing on the meals, and the watery salad and nori devoid miso, add little upside to justify the additional cost.
