Momi Sushi

Wonderful Hosts!! Momi Sushi was awesome! We had three Rolls; The Shaggy, The Lion King, and The Night Roll…Had some Hamachi, which was super! I will definitely back!!

This little neighborhood gem is worth visiting! The sushi was elegantly presented and so flavorful. Even the sticky rice was so perfectly cooked and tender. Chef’s wife was very kind and took the time to explain the various specialty rolls. Stop thinking and just do it! You won’t regret it

The best tasting sushi! It’s fresh. Try the Lion King roll, the Vivian roll and the M50 roll. They won’t disappoint. Also, try their cheesecake, it’s delicious!

I ordered the Yulan Roll for takeout, and I’m wondering if the portion size for $17.44 is correct.

Thoroughly amazing! Super fresh and flavorful. Excellent service.

Stop!! You have found your next sushi place to try. This place is run by a hard working couple that loves what they do, takes pride in their businesses and quality of food that they serve. I live in San Diego and have already come back, it's that good! The owners remembered us and were very thankful for the review my partner left previously. They say they are not tech savvy but are truly thankful for all the wonderful reviews they receive. The sushi was so fresh and delicious! The rice was perfect, that's what ruins good sushi for me most times. It's in DTLA so parking might be tricky but there are lots of meters around and paid parking garages. If you can't find parking do yourself a favor and order to go, put those e-lights on real quick and run in to grab the best sushi you've tried in a long time.

We got the Sashimi Bowl, Philadelphia Roll, Cosmopolitan Roll, and Dragon Roll. None were disappointing. Good for a quick bite, but kind of pricey. Not a lot of seating arrangements. Service was good.

This spot is a small little spot next to a grocery store and it’s pretty darn good overall. I ordered their rainbow roll, seven treasures roll & crawfish dynamite. The rainbow roll tasted really fresh and was made well. The seven treasures was also really delicious but the crawfish dynamite was really good. Overall it was a great sushi experience. I’d definitely come back and try their other menu items. Just be aware it’s paid street or covered parking, I don’t know about validation

Wow, I didn't expect amazing sushi at DTLA. We went here before an event at Crypto arena, which is nearby. We were able to enjoy our meal along with the friendly service they gave. My favorite was the Spicy Tuna roll and as mentioned in other reviews, this is truly melt in your mouth goodness. For the price, it is worth getting, I find the portions to be larger than usual. Interesting that they do makis-it was nice trying their Salmon maki. The quality of the fish feels fresh and would definitely go back again. Not a lot of seating but there was no wait when I went there.

While visiting LA, I was excited to try this place based on so many 5-star reviews. I ordered online and the food was delivered with no problems. However, I found the quality to be on par with supermarket sushi. Nothing bad, but certainly not spectacular or even very good. Also, I was disappointed that it arrived with no ginger or wasabi. Aren't these standards with sushi? In any case, I would not order again...

Caveat to rating: the food was 3 out of 5 stars but the service bumped it up to 4 (my partner insisted). Came here on Saturday night and ordered 4 rolls for dining in. They were made quickly but the rice was oddly sweet - a bit off in my opinion but my partner liked his order, hence the split review. There are a few small tables if you're looking to dine in. Good choice but not outstanding.

This sushi place is a gem! The place is very clean and staff very friendly and service was very fast. The caterpillar sushi is my fave ! The sauces they used on top of the sushi made it more delicious. Very affordable , priced right! Hits the spot! Too bad they do not have a branch in NorCal San francisco. Will be coming back if i come to LA downtown.

CANNOT RECOMMEND IT ENOUGH! We have gone back many times. The sushi is fresh and delicious. Literally melts in your mouth. It's owned by a lovely husband and wife who are the sweetest people ever. They plate everything so beautifully. The service is amazing. The prices are very reasonable. DEFINITELY the best place to get sushi in Downtown LA!!!!! YOU MUST CHECK IT OUT!

I had a great meal at Momi Sushi! I ordered the spicy tuna roll and the shaggy roll, and both were delicious. The spicy tuna roll had just the right amount of kick, with super fresh tuna that melted in my mouth. The shaggy roll was unique and packed with flavor--it had a perfect balance of textures and really stood out. The presentation was beautiful, and the service was friendly and attentive. If you're looking for quality sushi with a cozy vibe, I'd definitely recommend checking out Momi Sushi!

Finally tried this place and got to go. It was soooo good! The fish is very fresh! Their spicy tuna is that nice fresh color not the dark dark red. It's got like a pinkish hue to it. Everything melts in your mouth. I got the seven treasures roll. It was amazing. I did get EZ rice, so when I got it the rolls looked small. I wonder if it's bc I got less rice? Anyway, that was around $21. Ordered Togo and they were very nice and brought my order out to me bc I had my dog w me.

This is the second time I came back here because it is so good. I am visiting and saw reviews so gave them a try. So happy I did. Tiny place with husband and wife. Fish is very fresh and maki rolls are delicious. Friendly service.

I may have only been in LA for 5 days, but that didn't stop me from having sushi 3 times... and twice of those times were from Momi, which is an obvious testament to how much I enjoyed. The quality of the sushi from this place was amazing, and their specialty rolls were so unique and delicious. Just great sushi, what more can I say?

Sushi plates looked delicious but taste was not that delicious Their miso soup did have big pieces of tofu The dumpling did taste like the dough was hand made but not much flavor

Small sushi place that packs a lot of great things. The staff was very helpful and kind. We ordered the jalapeño poppers and two rolls. Everything was made to order and had great flavors. The presentation was also very nice. Will absolutely recommend.

Owners are lovely with generous hearts. We had a nice chat while they made my sushi to order. The most delicious roll with hamachi, cucumber, avocado and butterfish. Amazing! And some miso soup for comfort. Next time I'm there I'll be back for more

The customer service was good the lady who helped was super friendly and gave us recommendations. The food was also really good, except the jalapeno poppers werent what we expected. Also its a small place dont go in huge groups maybe 3 max.

Top-notch sushi in this small, out of the way restaurant - not within the hustle and bustle of the Little Tokyo area. My favorite was the ENR roll which was topped with yellowtail: delicate and silky and tasted exceptionally good with the unusual garlic oil and wasabi. Ponzu sauce added to its yumminess. The Seven Treasures roll was also amazing, which the charming and helpful owner told me was one of the most popular with customers. Had lunch here around 2pm on a weekday after the lunch rush, so the restaurant was empty and customer service was excellent. If you're looking for this place, just know google maps points to the wrong location. Momi isn't on W 9th Street, but rather round the corner on S. Hope Street. Not the easiest place to find driving up and down all the one way streets downtown. But totally worth the visit. Will be back!

The best tasting sushi! It's fresh. Try the Lion King roll, the Vivian roll and the M50 roll. They won't disappoint. Also, try their cheesecake, it's delicious!

Momi Sushi exemplifies the true spirit of small business, community, and exemplary sushi -- win win all around. For starters, I met the owners during my last visit and they (husband and wife) both shared their journey of humble beginnings. Collectively, they have decades of experience in hospitality and small business ownership but their love for crafting quality sushi rolls evolved over the years as they mastered the art while working in various sushi restaurants. I could tell they are in the game for the long term and I'm here for it. One of the owners shared how he is extremely selective as he sources the best cuts of fish -- quality is something he kept reiterating and that is something every small business owner should be proud of. He said that he rather spend a little extra on his ingredients so he puts out quality sushi rolls than to spend less on his inventory just to push out mediocracy, and I agreed with him 100%. After all, there is a brand and reputation to uphold especially while in such a competitive market like DTLA. Alright, on to the food. I tried the following rolls: SEVEN TREASURES ($18.95) Spicy tuna, shrimp tempura, salmon, tuna, avocado, micro greens, drizzled with house sauce. YULAN ROLL ($16.75) Butterfish, tuna, salmon, boiled shrimp, cilantro, jalapeño, masago then topped with creamy wasabi sauce. Let me tell y'all -- if I could describe every bite in three words, it would be: fresh, intentional, and fire. The fish is definitely of a different caliber and not of the quality that could easily be found at other sushi restaurants. Incredibly impressive. The establishment is small with very minimal indoor seating so I think ordering for takeout might be a better option if you have a big group. They accept cash and card, and are busiest during the lunch rush during the weekdays. If you're in DTLA, stop by to support this local minority owned small business! You won't be disappointed!

I wish I lived in LA so I could come here everyday. I found this amazing place on Google Maps. My hotel was right around the corner and when I saw sushi, I had to stop. My lady and I were having a hard time deciding on what to get- it all looked so good. The man came out and he was telling us what the most popular rolls were and what he recommend. We started off with the Gyoza, and I highly recommend that you do too! It was tender and full of flavor. We got the Dragon Roll, The Vivian Roll, The Nine Peaks Roll and The Shaggy Roll. I can't even begin to explain how delicious their rolls are! The Vivian roll was my favorite. It was so decadent and melt in your mouth. The Nine Peaks was a great combo of flavors- definitely worth trying! The Dragon Roll and Shaggy Roll were amazing as well. The rice and fish were so perfect and tender. The lady that served us was super sweet. I wish I got their names! They have a great place and great food! I'll definitely be back!

Came to LA for a concert and decided to try Momi sushi for lunch after seeing positive reviews on Yelp. Upon arrival, we were seated right away. The restaurant is small, only four 2-top tables inside. The waitress handed us menus but also shared there were pictures of the food on the front counter for reference. We ordered the spicy edamame and cucumber sunomono for appetizers. They came out fairly quickly. We were somewhat disappointed with the cucumber salad. It didn't taste like there was much dressing/sauce and if there was, it was extremely light. The edamame portions were small but the chili sauce they put on them had a nice balance of sweet and spicy. Next, I ordered the Above the Sea roll and my husband ordered the avocado roll and cucumber roll. I enjoyed my roll but the menu stated it had a ponzu sauce and I didn't find any sauce whatsoever. The fish however was extremely fresh. My husband's rolls were basic and just what you would expect for cucumber and avocado rolls. The waitress was attentive and helpful and the food was fresh and came out quickly.

Good food. Fresh sushi. Ask for recommendation. Small place so dont come as a group larger than 4. You can but you'll just need to set up your own chairs. Also, no more lunch special.

Very helpful & friendly staff. Excellent fresh & tasty sushi. Its a small place, but they cater to take out!

Came for sushi at lunch time on Saturday, quick service. I don't know if it's just me or if the rolls are smaller. French concession was flavorful. The place was on the smaller side, only about 4/5 tables. Overall okay experience.

The owner and staff are so friendly. I told them I didn't like imitation crab so the owner offered me real crab and it was delicious. They were so accommodating and friendly. The food was also delicious. Highly recommended.

This place has the freshest sushi. Hole in the wall unexpected gem! don't be fooled by the unassuming appearance... This place is serious about their product: Fresh, delicious and well-priced sushi. For sure, rivals some of the more hyped up expensive alternatives nearby. Best part is the owners are super nice and genuinely care about the food! New back pocket favorite.

Food was so so so so fresh. The Salmon nigiri melts in your mouth and the rice portions are great. Friendly service! They were sweet and quick. Cute spot with a few tables to sit and enjoy your food. Good spot in DTLA when you're craving good quality sushi! Not sure about parking because we walked but theres a bunch of street parking and structures!

Ordered $100+ of sushi delivered to our hotel down the street, arrives with no soy sauce or chop sticks/ utensils. I'm sure in the restaurant they don't forget things like that but just beware if you are ordering takeout!!! Sushi without soy sauce deserves 1 star imo. Ruined my night for sure!

So I went looking for a sushi roll place near DTLA. I know, there's plenty of sushi spots in Little Tokyo, however, I didn't want sushi per se, as my company is a fan of "crazy sushi rolls" (not my cup of tea) so I yelped and came onto this place. The place is quaint, with a total of four two-seat tables and a picture menu showing most rolls available. We were offered a menu as we walked in and glimpsed it through. We ordered the tuna tower, which packed an umami punch. Followed it up with the crawfish bake, OMG, I wish I had a big bowl of this as it was simply Devine!!! Also tried the lion king which was Smokey with the seared salmon, yummy. The seven treasures roll was also yummy with the soy paper it's wrapped in. Last but not least was the spicy tuna taco bites, I'm still thinking about this morsel as the crunchy rice the spicy tuna sits on had a hint of coconut and I want more!!! Very casual, excellent ingredients, EPIC flavors and quick and appreciative service.

Got the magic roll and seven treasures roll. Honestly some of the best Soosh I've ever had. Love that this is a small mom and pop business too. Really excellent!

Small humble looking establishment. Very friendly service and AMAZING sushi. SO delicious!

Fresh, delicious, highly recommend. And it was super Duper Uber yummy scrumdiddlyumptious.

Amazing customer service!! Gave us their opinion when we couldn't decide! All around food was great, quality was great, and service was great!

Every year during Anime Expo, I walk half a mile from the convention center for my ultimate respite: Momi Sushi. An oasis of tranquility from the hustle and bustle. Great thoughtful, fresh, tasty sushi rolls that are just a panacea for the soul. Bless this place a thousand times.

Great quality, even better value, and friendly service. Don't sleep on the hamachi collar!

Great service and sushi is yummy and fresh. Cozy small place. Not much space but ideal for take out

I lived here for about a year and never knew about this spot, just as I'm moving I was walking around and went inside for a quick bite. WOW. Mind blown. I regret not coming here every day!!! But I guess it was for the best -- I would've spent all my money hahaha Get the YULAN!!! Trust me. * also the chef and lady here are AMAZING- so kind and sweet. 100/10 recommend

An almost literal hole in the wall, but as others noted the food and service are top notch. Service was friendly, helpful, and fast. And the quality of the sushi on a late Thursday was fantastic. I couldn't have been happier to make the trek from across town.

Had to pick up a quick lunch in the area while walking my son. This place popped up on my yelp, thought I'd give it a try since there's nothing else around. I was greeted by the chef and waitress, they were nice and friendly. It's a small quick stop and go place with a few tables. They have a great selection of dishes/rolls on their regular menu, as well as a good lunch menu. I couldn't decide on the rolls so I just got a spicy salmon poke bowl. As for poke bowl it was a bit expensive for what it was - $17.47 after tax before tip, so you are looking at a $20 poke bowl. (But I get it, the rent here can't be cheap). The portion was also a bit small. (All the lunch specials were the same price so they were all $17.47 after tax before tip.) Well at least it tasted good and the vegetables were fresh and the spicy salmon tasted good. They also have two sushi rolls for the same price, might be a better deal, will give them a try one day. I think it's a great place to pick up your lunch!

Nice people and quality sushi. Very small and intimate space and they have pictures of the different types of rolls. Will definitely be back!

I'm a big eater. I ordered 3 featured rolls, and they were very deliciously prepared. Thuan the owner is so friendly and knowledgeable with high standards. He makes his own unique sauces, but he's a purist so if you like extra sauce, just ask. Same with spicy tuna, I like to feel a little heat, so just let him know, otherwise, like I said, he's a purist and the sushi is def on point. He is the chef and sushi is his passion, and he'll let you know it, so if the appreciation is there, he'll show you some love with a complimentary sample. The atmosphere is peaceful and perfect for mindful eating, whether alone, or with a friend. Not a place for a big party, there's not enough room for that. I come here for the best sushi without inflated prices to cover the overhead. Atmosphere gets 5 stars for friendliness, and peacefulness. Enjoy

Best sushi in South Park DTLA! Had the yellow tail sashimi and spicy tuna appetizer and omg it was delicious! Happy to have met the chef as well and he is very passionate about the quality of the fish he buys and how to best prepare the specific parts of the type of fish! Happy to come back to eat more sushi and chat about the art of making it as well. Thank you for such a delightful experience

We loved this place! The owner is a sweet woman and her husband. They are very friendly and the food is great. It's affordable for downtown LA that's for sure! We got: - The Vivian roll - The Stone Gate roll - The Seven Treasures roll It's a cute store and these small business owners are hustling. Swing by for lunch and support them! I know we'll be back

Just the best place to go get sushi. The customer service is amazing and you really feel welcomed and at home when you come in. The sushi taste fresh and is served so good!

Im writing this review as I'm still eating the sushi because it is THAT GOOD. So fresh, so delicious. No exaggeration, some of the best sushi I have eaten. Don't let the ambiance fool you, the sushi is legit and the service is incredible. She made sure to address any of my menu questions, give recommendations, and checked on me after the food came out. 10/10 recommend this to anyone looking for delicious sushi! I will be back for sure.

Our favorite sushi spot in La closed during the pandemic so I've been on the lookout for a new go to place. We hoped it would be here but the price of the sushi will deter us from ordering often. Other than that the rating is 4 stars because the quality of the sushi and portions were very satisfactory! I would not order the King roll with the cooked salmon on top again. The flame taste was too much and the Krab meat inside is a chunk rather than shredded and I just prefer the shredded krab. We ordered delivery on Postmates , and it arrived quickly and tasted very fresh.

Happened to wander by and this place looked like a good place to take sushi to go. I was not wrong! It was fast, fresh, and delicious. While i was waiting for my order, i could tell a lot of locals came through to get their sushi here. Thats always a great sign. I tried to go back the next day, but they were closed, so I'll have to wait for next time I'm in LA to give it another go. Until then, absolutely 5 stars!

Wonderful small gem of a restaurant to come across. Definitely feels like the owners have taken a lot of time and care with their food and the menu. You get a lot of sushi for a good price. The sushi is also delicious. They have some unique drinks in their fridge to take a look at. Nearly all the special rolls were absolutely phenomenal and packed with delicious sauces or combinations that you wouldn't think of when going to a sushi restaurant. The restaurant is small and has limited seating. It also looked like there were a small amount of servers as well who were also working on the sushi as well. However, the small size did not affect the service. Food came out in a timely manner and the plating was lovely.

This place is a gem. The food and service were of great quality for a reasonable price. We enjoyed our time there but will order takeout going forward. There were only 3 small tables to fit two, a party of 3 became a little crowded.

Love, love, love this little gem of a sushi spot. It's unassuming from the outside but the fish is fresh and they do the classics well along with some great speciality rolls (the Vivian is probably my favorite). The owners are also both super nice people that we've chatted with a couple times. My husband and I will often drop by here for dinner before catching a movie at the Alamo Draft House. I'm looking forward to trying their chirashi bowl next!

The food was so delicious. The sushi tasted SO fresh, and the sauce with the goya was the best thing i've ever had. If you're in the area and looking for some refreshing sushi, you must stop by! The waitress we had was the sweetest, and so attentive. In such a cute little shop too!! When i'm in the area again, Momi Sushi will be my go-to for bomb sushi.

Delicious Perfection! Rating based on visual presentation, quality and freshness of ingredients, the mouthwatering taste, and portion size.
