Momiji

We were pleasantly surprised to find this place on our way back from the coast from Google search. Tugged in a little strip mall which is quite appropriate for sushi joint like this, plenty of parking outside and spaces inside. The place is clean and well managed overall, wait staffs are pleasant the small town folk friendly feel. Food portion is definitely larger then most similar type of sushi places in big cities. We eat raw fish so freshness is very important to us, this place passed the quality standard for us, we ordered what we normally choose in other sushi places, and ended up taking quite a few home being so full with the big portions lol. Will definitely visit again if we pass by next time

We came the day after Christmas for their lunch special which includes miso soup, cucumber salad, and a drink with two sushi rolls you pick from their list. We also ordered some potsticker which were decent. I would have them to be a bit more crispy on the bottom. We got there right at opening and it got busy fast. There was one girl working as the server and she did a great job taking care of each of the tables. The atmosphere is OK, it definitely has a good for work lunch vibe. It is casual.

Service was fast, friendly, and good but not rushed. The lunch specials were a good value, and the sushi was delicious as always. The poke bowl was huge, as was the green tea ice cream serving.

All of the staff are kind and attentive, but special shout out to Gracie! She remembers your orders, checks in often, and gives amazing service. The restaurant is clean, and is our personal favorite sushi. We suggest it to all of our friends!

My favorite restaurant here! Fast and delicious and always looks so great! You should try their ice-cream too!

Ordered Eel roll, Miso soup, cucumber salad, California roll and calamari. The rolls were prepared well and decorated, fresh, maybe slightly salty on the topping sauce for the eel rolls. Miso soup and cucumber salad were cheap side appetizers and sizes of containers reflected the price. The calamari however was possibly the worst I've ever had. They had the consistency of deep fried rubber bands, and maybe a cup and a half of product for 9$ was pretty disappointing. Attached are photos of all but the rolls, the rolls slipped off the seat of my car on the drive home and I didn't think it would be fair to show them in the disheveled state.

I've always loved momiji. 2 years ago, I moved to the Klamath area which had one location, but it wasn't very good. I moved back several months ago, and have consistently gotten GREAT food and GREAY service at this location. The place is comfortable to sit down and eat, the waiters are not overbearing they are always so sweet and helpful. Will forever be my choice for sushi

I love this place, I eat here as much as I can. You will not be disappointed if you eat here let me tell you the service is great food is wonderful just a wonderful place to go and eat

I can recommend the luncheon bento box if you like teriyaki chicken, tempura, and rice. It comes with miso soup, cucumber salad, and tea. If you have a bigger appetite or plan to split the meal, the dinner bento gives you lots of choices for lunch or dinner. I usually request steamed vegetables instead of the rice, since it typically comes with sashimi and that's more than enough rice for me. I've been eating both these bentos since the restaurant opened many years ago, and they have never disappointed me. For a variety of raw fish I prefer the chirashi (a bowl of sushi rice and sashimi), and request that they do not include any escolar. This fish can cause diarrhea because it contains high levels of indigestible waxy oils, and should never appear on any menu, period.

First time for dinner at Momiji in nirth Albany. Clean fresh environment, nice booth seating. Once seated discovered Large menu has photos of all the dishes with no prices and that you record your selection on the paper menu that have the prices. Friendly staff who really hustle. The Nigiri sushi was delicious. Everything was delicious. Will try a lunch visit and a happy hour visit in the future.

The teriyaki chicken was not grilled, rather chopped up and cooked. The tempura was greasy. Too many other places to go.

We went there during off-hours (like 4PM) and pretty much had the place to ourselves. Spring-roll deal was like $5 for 4 spring rolls, but they wound up being rather mushy on the inside. Nothing special. IMO miso was good (I make it myself, and like to think I have high standards), pickled cucumbers were a delight. High points of the meal. Not a fan that their menu doesn't have prices, but understand the struggle. I sort of enjoyed hearing the lone other customer ask where the prices were... I forget what they call it, but their basic "chicken teriyaki" was OK, but certainly not exceptional. The items (chicken, rice, very scant veggies) were not mixed at all, and the sauce pooled at the bottom. Not impressed. I'm calling it an "average" experience, and given the awkward location in Albany, will easily find alternatives.

Momiji has some serious good deals for lunch. I ordered one of their lunch specials that includes 2 types of sushi and 1 roll for $11.50! I went with the salmon and tuna nigiri and a spicy tuna roll. The plate also comes with miso soup and a cucumber salad. Everything tasted so good! I just wish the spicy tuna rolls had a bit more spicy tuna in them. There were at least 2 pieces that were mostly cucumber and less spicy tuna. Aside from that, I'd drive from Corvallis to Albany any day for Momiji.

I have gone here for 15 years. This place is amazing. I haven't had one bad experience ever going to this place. Food is amazing. Staff is friendly. Great environment overall. If you try the chicken fried rice, I promise you won't be disappointed. Some of the best CFR in town.

Happy hour deals are rockin', bento box lunch special is a filling and phenomenal deal, always fresh fish, and the staff at this spot are very friendly. Definitely recommended.

I usually love the sushi. Tonight the tuna was worm, chewing, blood red and gross. It made me throw up. I'm not sure cats would even eat it.

I must say I do enjoy my sushi, and living in Lebanon for the time being, the selection isn't exactly big when it comes to sushi. There is a Momiji in Lebanon, but honestly, going to Albany is well worth the drive. Not being one of the larger cities of the world like Seattle, Portland, or Vegas, you may not expect Albany to have good sushi, but they have some good sushi. I definitely wouldn't say it's the best that I have had, but I was very pleased with how it tasted. I got a few rolls for dinner, and none of the fish tasted old or had a strong fishy taste at all. That speaks good news to my taste buds. Along with my dinner, I got a bento box which had a good selection of different meats, a side, and a roll. Definitely would recommend going here for a nice sushi date with a special someone, or if you just want to get your sushi fix.

To go sushi and rolls have bad presentations. They are fresh and taste ok but $80 not again. Dine-in and have them serve nicely, make it worth.

Absolutely loved this place! So happy to find decent sushi in Albany. We got the Oregon Roll, Rocky Roll and Salem Roll, and they were all fantastic. Chilled glasses for the beer too, and attentive, friendly service. We will definitely be back!

The service is consistently great. The hostess we saw today was kind and efficient. It was lunch time so between the nonstop phone orders, people coming in to grab their take out orders, and us ordering and waiting for our food; I would say that she did very well under the strain. We typically get the lunch special which is either two pieces of nigiri as well as a roll, or just two mix of match rolls (from a select number of non-specialty items). For $10 it's the perfect amount of sushi for the average person, in my opinion. I just want to be clear that three stars in my opinion isn't a bad rating. A three star is an "A-OK" from me. I stray away from anything more than that when I'm dining at a chain restaurant. You get what you'd expect in terms of quality and pricing and being treated as if you are already a repeat customer. I will also mention that I have dined at the Lebanon location before and I wrote a review on that experience as well. Albany does sooo much better at holding up the company's quality standard. So, kudos to the management and crew.

Last night the Hubby and I were suppose to go out to dinner for our Anniversary/Mother's Day dinner but our babysitters got sick. So we decided to Doordash Momiji. I ordered the Subob Roll and it was really good. The fish was fresh and delicious. We had miso as well and it had great flavor and yummy tofu. My Hubby had the Chicken Katsu and the chicken was moist and so yummy. We loved the sauce it came with, we tasted a hint of ginger but couldn't figure out what else was in it. Something we have never had before but definitely want to eat it again. We will definitely be back whether DoorDash or in person.

Decided to try this place again since our favorite sushi place closed down. Bland and gross again. The Tiger roll came out and the presentation was like someone decided to make sushi for the first time (seriously) and the color of the spicy tuna was so off putting we contemplated sending it back. I'm not joking when I say I'm pretty sure they mix canned tuna into their spicy tuna mix which gave it a nasty flavor and off putting color. Never again.

It is really good. I've got them from doordash a couple of times and it was great! High quality.

Food: Started with the Edamame. Perfectly salted and steaming when it arrived. Yum! Chicken Teriyaki was tender and plentiful. Enough for four!! The Ebi Sushi was fresh and VERY tender. Service: Prompt, professional and extremely polite. Decor: It was a little larger inside than first thought. Plenty of seating.

AMBIANCE: very light, bright, clean, and open. Modern, new. It is always bright here even when its raining outside. LOCATION: in a small shopping area of albany. Easy to get to. Parking lot is a good size. SERVICE: great service. Quick and friendly. I have never had issues with the staff here. FOOD: Delicious sushi, this was always my go to sushi place in Albany until they built a momiji in Lebanon, which is closer to me. Fresh everything. PRICE: Expected prices for sushi. Not expensive, not cheap, just average.

Is the food good? Sure, they have some pretty good sushi. I have had better elsewhere, but in Albany this sushi is pretty good stuff. A lot of variety, the fish tastes fairly fresh, it is well prepared and well displayed. Is the food fairly priced? I feel that comparing this to what I have had elsewhere and for what you get, it is pretty overpriced. Even with the lunch special, which provides pretty boring sushi options. I have come here solo for lunch a couple times and have spent $20 each time, ordering 2 items hoping to be full. Perhaps since this is the only sushi restaurant I see in Albany they can pull off these high prices. While there is some good food here, I just find it to be not worth it.

This place has great sushi for the price. I came here with two friends and we were immediately seated. The waitress was kind, attentive, and helpful with the menu. I ordered the Chirashi bowl and was impressed with the beautiful plating. It came with a great variety of fish and plenty of rice - I was unable to finish. The overall service was a little slow which was surprising especially since there were only a few other tables. I did enjoy my food though and would recommend this spot!

I have been here several years ago. It was pretty good then. This time ,however, was not very good. My husband ordered the yakasoba. It was Top Ramen noodles with some vegetables on top. I ordered 2 rolls. The Salem Roll and the Sea carnivore roll. Neither of them were very good. The Sea Carnivore was topped with hot salmon. It gave the roll a very rancid taste. I ordered Ebi that was actually wonderful! But overall it wasn't great.

"At least they have Miso Soup" I am really getting tired of the sushi game in the Corvallis/ Albany area. I wish I wasn't such a sushi snob because not being available to great sushi is really killing my addiction. I decided to give this place a try since all the rest of the sushi places except Market of Choice is trash in the Corvallis area. I ordered the Lion Roll and Subob roll today... they were okay a 3 out of 5. Totally better than all the rest of the restaurants in the area but nothing spectacular. I think the Miso Soup and Cucumber salad was the best part of my meal. I will say I have had their calamari and it's the best calamari I have had in the area as well. Not really sure if this place is worth the drive from Corvallis but if you are running into Albany for any reason it's a decent place for a snack if you are willing to pay the price. Each roll on their speciality rolls were about $8-$11ish.

The bento box is the way to go. You really get the best bang for your buck with this option. You get a miso soup, cucumber salad, a main dish with rice, tempura, and a choice of a sushi roll. Granted they have given you selected options, there is a lot to choose from.

Service, Food and Value. All three of these points were met and exceeded! My waitress was attentive, personable and you can tell she enjoys her job! Evie, thank you for this. The food portions were great! I actually found the tempura plate to be more full than I usually get in most Japanese restaurants. The Japanese Yams were tasty. I left full and happy. And to have a full dinner AND dessert for under 20.00 was fantastic! The restaurant and restrooms were clean.

Momiji offers excellent food and excellent service at a very fair price. Upon walking in, my mom and I were immediately seated. We got our menus immediately, and after ordering, we got our food well within 10 minutes. As for the food, it was delicious! The sushi was fresh, and the portion size was more than adequate. My chirashi came with miso soup, a small side of cucumber salad, and an entire medium-sized bowl of rice and sashimi; I was amazed at how much food, especially sashimi, I got for less than $16!

Would not recommend! Got seated in a timely manner, but it took awhile to order server never communicated anything or acknowledging us. Right as we were about to leave they finally took our order. Most the food came out nice and quick but 10 minutes later my daughters food finally arrived. Not sure if they were short staffed, or just super busy but the communication was horrible. Kayio sushi on the other end of Albany is way better!

We love this place! Great prices, great service and beautiful fresh sushi. Always very quick service. Happy hour is excellent too!

Ran in for happy hour yesterday, my daughter got food poisoning. We ordered a cucumber salad, shrimp tempura roll and a Salem roll. I didn't eat the shrimp roll so that must have been it. Pretty disappointing since I have had good experiences here before.

Swung by here for lunch based on Yelp reviews. What a great find! Awesome lunch prices, great food. I got the sushi special, which includes two nigiri servings (two pieces each) and one maki serving (six or eight pieces depending on type). My choice was salmon and hamachi nigiri plus philly roll. Super tasty. The fish was very fresh and the perfect [room] temperature. Presentation was beautiful and typically Japanese. Also came with miso soup and cucumber sunomono. And all for less than $9! We also got some agadashi tofu, gyoza, tempura, oyako don, chicken udon. It was all super delicious. Definitely visiting them again.

Momiji's interior and seating is modern and up to date and neat. There food selection is excellent. It is also very delicious. They have a good selection of sushi. I do wish it was more of a selection like Momijis in salem on silverton rd. I do recommend you try Momijis. The service is good if it not to busy.

[+] I dined in here a few days ago with a good friend of mine for dinner. This place first strikes me as decorative, empty little place. My friend ordered our dinner from the sushi menu. Order about 5 different items and we were stuffed. The sushi were fresh and pretty good portioned. Presentation was good. Customer service was quick and attentive. Props for having pictures on the menu. Oh yeah, they have complementary (one of each) little bowl of rice, soup, and pickled cucumbers to share between the two of us. Yay, for complementary stuff!! [-] There's nothing negative to say about this place because everything went really well. They did not receive a full 5-star is because this place did not give me a wow- factor or have uniqueness to it. Very simple. Oh yea! I just remember how our waitress kept on asking us if we wanted our water refilled! That kinda annoyed me because my good friend and I were having some deep conversations and she keeps on interrupting us... if you see our cup is half empty, just refill it! Why ask? [?] Yeah, if I feel like driving out to Albany for sushi, I would come here again. Decent pricing, pretty good sushi, and clean place.

Once again, a great experience! The rolls were delish. The Salem roll is like nothing I have ever had. Half Moon Mojito was refreshing and light. We shared several rolls and they were all excellent

I don't know why this restaurant isn't 5 stars across the board! I eat here multiple times every week, and the sushi is superb! They give a good amount of meat in both the nigiri sushi, and the rolls. The fish always tastes fresh. The pricing is good for sushi, especially their $1 sushi Monday's or lunch menu. Service is great, and everyone is friendly. Definitely recommend!

This establishment will continue to see me for their Monday night nigiri special!!! Have been looking for a decent sushi place since moving here weeks ago, been to a few places since then, with raving reviews, only to be disappointed. That was not the case here. Sushi was delicious, fresh, properly rolled and had great presentation. My favorites were the salmon roe, eel, yellowtail, salmon and tuna! Such distinct flavors, each unique and scrumptious! The only things I wish was that I had seen the specials menu. Completely my fault, being as oblivious as I am, because I literally passed the board on my way in. This place was packed, but even still, there was no wait to be seated. Of course there was a small wait for our food, but as to be expected with every seat in the house occupied. Staff was friendly and attentive. See you soon :)

Went there today for lunch. Arrived early and was seated right away. Planned on ordering a couple of appetizers for the table and some hot tea. The first server dropped of water and left. No greeting. Waited 10 minutes for her to come back to the table. Had to go get up and order from another server. Asked another gal to be our server since the first one was unfriendly. The second server did an amazing job. When we were all done, I tried to give her a $20 tip to not share. She said they pool their tips. I hate that. That's enabling crappy servers to make money off the efficient ones. Sushi........, 5 stars Edemame ..1 star Potstickers..1 star Been there 3 times.... Won't be back

mediocre sushi, not really worth the price if you ask me. Maybe if it was a $30 all you can eat. About 5 tables occupied. Sat and waited for over 30 minutes for service, was not provided chop sticks napkins etc had to get up and get our own from the sushi bar counter. No water refills, no check-in. between b rated food and bad service I won't be returning.

This is my favorite sushi place! We drive over from Corvallis all the time, the food is always fresh and tasty, and the lunch specials are unbeatable.

I've been coming here for at least 6 years and love the lunch time deal of two rolls for less than ten dollars and the less expensive lunch bento box! Momiji always has the freshest fish and tastiest cuisine.

Uh this was such a absolute bummer! My husband and I were heading up I5 to go to Jefferson and we decided to go here based of reviews. First off, it located like nearly 20min off the freeway, not a quick in and out and back on the freeway deal at all. #2 I judge a sushi joint on having good miso soup, I have had better from a packet at Safeway and that's not an exaggeration. #3 the sushi it's self was so Bland and boring! I got a tiger and the Oregon something or other roll and it had chopped up, almost ground fish on top I swear on my life it looked like cat food and the texture was something that could not be ignored! No exaggeration when I say fredmyers deli makes better sushi!!! It absolutely ruined the night, I put on a good face for my husband who spent $50+ on the meal... but we barely spoke a word on the 20min trip back to the freeway it was so disappointing (should have got burgerville!!) Run away from this place as fast as you can! Do not believe the 4 star rating!

Nice balance between casual and elegant. The basic tables and booths are complemented by a sparse but warm decor. After reading many complaints about the service, I was glad to see that there was only one other booth of customers. Too bad that they sat us right next to the only other people in the place, awkward. Towards the end of our meal, many others showed up, but it was still the lone waitress who was completely overwhelmed. Before the crowds, we got very prompt service. Loved, loved the big pictures on the menu. The menu was extensive with all kinds of dishes besides sushi. We stuck with the sushi, the fish was very fresh and the rice was a dad warm (still mulling that last point over, it was a first for me). The smoked salmon was soo delicious. Sake sampler and mochi balls rounded out our meal. We will be back ...in the off hours only.

Great food. Killer taste. Nice selection. Terrible service from mikalya. No refills on drinks. Had to almost beg to get our food. Super long wait time. Wouldn't clean plates off table. Snotty attitude. Have been to Lebanon for sushi. Same bad service but they offer all you can eat deal. At least with slow bad service you get a chance to eat your fill. I bet people would stand in line if service was as good as the food.

Mostly great. We used to eat here pretty regularly and have done take out a few times since the COVID shut down. The Salem roll is the best! They missed an entire meal on our last order so we drove back down the road. It was 30 minutes before close and they were shutting it down. They just said - we're closed and wouldn't get us the food we had already paid for. We hadn't had issues with them prior, so overall, I'd still recommend it, but double check your order to make sure it's all there before driving off. That was probably an amateur move on our part.

The food was very good. Our server, I believe her name was McKayla, was hospitable and very knowledgeable about the menu items. She was really friendly and helpful in making suggestions and explaining what certain items were. The food was served hot, tasty, and quickly. We will be back again. I suggest this restaurant to anyone who loves fresh sushi.

Fast service, awesome friendly staff(very helpful with queries). Oh and on top of that, delicious food. Highly recommend the experience

Was invited in by an illuminated open sign. Was greeted by a not so friendly face an no hello. I decided to offer up the information that I wanted to place a take out order and then helped myself to a menu as one was clearly not going to be provided. I glanced over the menu for maybe two minutes before being informed that my order would need to be placed within five minutes. I proceeded to place my order after confirming that was still okay. It was an awkward exchange with one word responses. Five minutes or so later my order was delivered to the counter and this lovely hostess/server simply walked away. No thank you, no have a good night... Nothing. I grabbed my order and decided to offer a thank you up myself. Without service, quality of food is pointless. Fail.

Hands down the best sushi in town. No doubt about it. You may need to wait a little while for your sushi but it's always worth the wait. Family owned and operated, excellent quality food. It's a win-win.

Excellent sushi!! Incredibly fresh - some of the best sushi that i've ever had! I cannot eat gluten or soy, and the person who took our order knew what was in every item and carefully advised us on what we could eat and substitutions that could be made for each item. Excellent service and tasty sushi - will visit again when in the area!

The food is good. The prices fair. My problem is with the service. Been there 3 times, 3 times the service was nonexistent. My server ( young latino looking girl) never offered the Monday special, had to ask her about it. I put in an order for a roll, and told her I'd be ordering more. She never came back to my table, except to drop off the check. She didn't even bring me my food. I left hungry. Obviously, I didn't tip. I'll never return, unless she's been fired.

Poor service. Slow night, 5:30 pm, we were 2nd couple in. Waited 10 minutes while we watched 2 other couples arrive after us and had orders taken and had drinks and soup delivered. We still did not have a drink order taken. After being ignored. We got up and left and wont be back.
