Stylish spot for sashimi & Japanese-Hawaiian cuisine, sake & shochu
"I found the late-night menu (10 p.m. to 12:30 a.m., Thurs–Sat) to be the highlight: dishes there sparkle with invention and wit, from a tuna belly tartare spiked with habanero and soy to a playful spam musubi, while the beverage program overseen by sommelier Stephen Connolly stands out. The regular menu felt more timid overall, but sashimi is its strong suit—especially the raw branzino, which I thought was bold yet nuanced and the best dish I tried at any time of day; on balance the reviewer rated the restaurant one-and-a-half stars out of four (between “fair” and “good”)." - Eater Staff
"Momi Nonmi opened in late 2017 as a cozy little izakaya in Inman Square with just a few sashimi options among items like grilled meat skewers, rice balls, and hints of Hawaiian cuisine, not to mention an enviable sake list. Since the pandemic, though, the restaurant has doubled down on sushi, offering extensive omakase meals — currently available for dine-in as well as takeout, which you need to preorder at least 24 hours in advance — and some a la carte sashimi, too." - Erika Adams
"Chris Chung is hosting chef Tru Lang—who was raised in Boston and now runs a modern Vietnamese restaurant in Hội An—for a special one-night “Vietakase,” a Vietnamese-style omakase on Thursday, September 26; diners can expect courses like duck grilled with honey and wild pepper and tapioca noodles with green crab mousse and fermented shrimp. Tickets are $230 per person (fees and tip included), with two sake-pairing options priced at $60 and $90, and two seatings at 5:30 and 8:15 p.m.; reservations are required." - Erika Adams
"Go big with a Christmas omakase dinner at Momi Nonmi, an upscale sushi spot known for its sake selection. Chef and owner Chris Chung is accepting reservations on December 25 for a varied omakase menu that starts at $192 per person, with a minimum of two people and a maximum of four required on the reservation." - Erika Adams
"Clio and Uni alum Chris Chung combines Japanese and Hawaiian traditions with his own personal touch at this casual and homey Inman Square spot. Be sure to make a reservation ahead of time as the place gets busy fast. And if you feel extra fancy, don’t miss out on the monthly omakase options." - Valerie Li Stack
