Momiji Sushi Restaurant - Barbur

Quality has really declined last few times Ive been. Was never top quality, but good enough. Last two times, the salmon has been awfully cut. Large chunks of fatty skin, almost no meat. Taste is bad. My sushi loving kids who rate it their #1 food dont even want to eat it when I have bought it for them. Really tells you everything.

The third momiji sushi restaurant my family and I visited in the state of Oregon. Newport, Salem, & Portland. Excellent quality sushi & service.

Just okay. Maybe less than okay. The roll was kind of sloppily made. The sashimi platter was practically FROZEN cold!! It was very hard to eat, felt like the fish had JUST been taken out of the freezer. The scallop nigiri was very meh. Honestly I’d rather go to the cheap conveyer belt by my house, it’s higher quality than this place.

This place I would highly recommend. The serves here was very good and nice even though it took me forover for some people in my party to choose what they wanted. They also have good atmosphere and the tables are clean and doesn't take that much time to wait (5-10 minutes for my party). The food was also very good and I hope you guys are able to come her with a party and have a good time as well a I did when I came. Also side note (that doesn't have to do with my review of this place) I would like to apologize for not posting in such a long time but I will be able to start posting agian.

Started off with the Oregon Salmon. I could barely swallow the first bite. I thought maybe the wasabi. Next bite, spit it out in the napkin in the trash it goes. Got to the kickboxer, it was better. The shop is tiny, clean and cute. Staff was very nice. I do not recommend the Oregon Salmon

Super easy and quick. Perfect for pick up. I do wish there was a way to add comments to online orders. I recently had an order that had a sesame allergy noted that came with sesame seeds on it, so added a box to add a comment about needs/restrictions would be great.

I ordered spring rolls and a tiger roll. The spring rolls were really mushy inside, so I only had two. As for the tiger roll, more mush! It looked delicious, but I detected a very unpleasant mushy feel in the first two bites. When I investigated, I discovered the unpleasant "mush" was the tuna spread on top, where there would normally be a piece of fish. It was ground up tuna mush instead (different from spicy tuna which is chopped and mixed with a spicy sauce). Just a tuna mush. The texture was so gross I could only eat the sushi roll after scraping off the mush. Why would they grind up a piece of fish like that? For the price (18.00) I would anticipate at least a medium to high quality piece of tuna on the top.

Excellent sushi for an excellent price. They have a few rolls under $10 that are delicious. I would recommend the Salem roll.

Ordered through DoorDash for three of us, and we were all impressed. Fish was fresh, nicely packaged, unique specialty rolls and great combo sashimi. Nigiri sushi is for two good-sized pieces.

It's decent but nothing special in terms of sushi. Lots of variety options though, they have tvs and family friendly. Staff is good and helpful

I got the Sushi Appetizer, Spicy Yellowtail and Spring rolls delivered. The sushi was disappointing... rice was falling apart all over the place on the sushi appetizer. I literally couldn't pick it up with the chop sticks without it all falling apart. The yellowtail roll tasted bad and had Sirracha dumped on top which was not what was shown on the Uber Eats picture from them. If it was, I would have asked for no sauce. It made it inedible. Won't be back.

This is our go-to sushi spot when we are visiting family in Portland. It's not the world's best sushi but it's good for the price. It's yummy and filling and reasonably priced. Recently I had the shotgun roll, which was really good! I also had yellowfin nigiri which was delicious, and coconut shrimp which you can never go wrong with.

This was some pretty darn tasty sushi! I had the Vegas Roll and the Salem Roll and they were both really good! We asked for no spicy sauce and they accidentally made one of the rolls with the the spicy sauce and they remade it for us AND gave us the one the made wrong for no charge! We also had the Chicken Katsu, Gyoza and Edamame and it was all delicious!

Sushi is good and selection is great. Staff is friendly. Location is convenient for me.

I'm a little worried that the secret will get out and this place will soon be on a foodie's next viral instagram post for the tastiest Japanese spot in town. This place was an absolute hit with our family and I cannot stop thinking about this meal. Delicious! Complements to the chef and staff. Please keep making delicious food!!

The food is too spicy - this places uses a generous quantity of spicy mayo and sriracha on standard sushi dishes that are not normally spicy.

Fast service. Large variety of rolls. Good sushi. Limited non-sushi options. Wish they had a teriyaki bento to appease my non-sushi eating child. This location is for grab and go, not dining in. Most customers order ahead and pick up, although ordering at counter was fast. The price is fair. For $42 we got 2 rolls and 6 nigiri.

One of my favorite sushi experiences! Friendly staff and simple set up, sushi came out fast and was spot on! Tuesdays they do a two for one :)

We ordered dinner tonight and we're quite impressed. Miso soup was excellent with a lot of seaweed. Rainbow roll,ikura and tomago were impressive. Gyoza and sesame balls on par.Will definetly be a frequent flyer.

Momiji is a home-grown Oregon success story. From humble beginnings in Salem, to a chain of metro area sushi restaurants, Momiji screams success. Add to the amazing backstory with excellent food, and you've got a solid 5-star experience. The SW Barbur location is a sort of "dive-bar'ish" haunt, located adjacent to a sketchy cigarette and beer minimart. Do not let the environs disuade you, the staff are super friendly and extremely helpful. I'm the spouse and father of sushi lovers. I'm not a sushi gnosher. Never fear, the staff - especially the young person who takes orders most nights - can help even a troglodyte like me make it around the maze of ordering. Momiji rocks! We owe it to respect with Oregon pride and get our takeaways from them.

We get takeout from here fairly often and have no major complaints. It's fast and satisfies the sushi craving. I have been disappointed before in ordering creamy scallops but instead getting the spicy version of the creamy scallops. The regular version is pretty good, but the scallops are chopped instead of big juicy pieces like you can get at some other restaurants. However, for the price it is a good deal and like I said, it feeds the beast. As a sushi aficionado unfortunately I can't give more than 3 stars due to quality but I wouldn't say it's bad by any means. Very decent prices, quick, friendly, and convenient.

This sushi is good for what it is. It's fast, cheap-ish, and easy to order. The thing is, it's just not great. However, not every thing has to be the very best, right? At the price, I was surprised how good it is.

Takoyaki was amazing here! It was crispy and had the perfect octopus to filling ratio. The sushi was a little better than ok. We got a few rolls and I appreciated that the sushi rice wasn't compressed down too hard. I recommend the craw daddy roll because it had a nice crunch and creamy flavor. We ate in and the space isn't particularly comfortable. They have one long hanging table on the wall with some barstools and outdoor seating. You do have to walk down steep steps outside to get to their bathroom. We plan to come back here to try more of their rolls, but will be ordering to go next time.

For takeout sushi, it's our new local favorite. Whole family likes it. Lunch special is great with 2 rolls and cucumber salad and miso soup. Small location- only outdoor seating. Bathroom downstairs. Quick and easy ordering ( usually 20 min till ready when order online) We loved this at the beach, glad to have it closer this is a tough location- even pokpok couldn't handle it. I hope it stays

I have been here three times since they opened. They picked a good location, because there's not a lot of other sushi restaurants in the area. As a consequence, they can often be a long wait to get a take-out order. They do have an outdoor seating area, but nothing indoors. They also will bring your order out to your car, so it's pretty good for my pandemic perspective. The lunch specials are the real gem here - lots of food for good prices. Other items are a little bit more normal pricing, although they are into the number eight and 18, so the dish prices are peculiar. Doesn't really matter, just part of their shtick I am only giving them three stars because their rice and roll making skills leave something to be desired. The rolls don't always hold together quite right, and the rice is not properly compressed. But the flavors are good and the fish is solid if not pristine. It's a nice addition to the hood

Fast and quick. Friendly staff. I would definitely eat here again. I wish I had ordered more! Can't wait to come back and try other things. Sorry I devoured the miso and didn't take a picture. It was yumsssss

Can't say much about the ambiance since I ordered take out however it was easy to get to. Ordered a few sushi sets: Beginner Sushi Platter, Lady Dragon Roll, Make It Rain Roll and Chicken karaage. All were tasty, totally worth the price. Our order was placed through their website and was ready in a timely manner. We will be back again for more sushi the next time our craving sets in! Kudos to the staff here for their efficiency!

i love this place, i go about every 2 weeks when I'm too lazy to cook dinner. The prices are reasonable and the portions for the rolls are large

The food is amazing. We loved it! The staff work hard to produce the orders and we appreciate them!

Doing a project on a restaurant I recommend, this is 100% the place. I come here often and the food never misses; seriously one of the best sushi places ever. Affordable and there's even free water. Great vegetarian options and cooked fish alike for those who don't like or can't eat raw fish. YUM!

Will not order delivery again. Their door dash page is confusing where you ADD "no ginger" to your cart if you'd like no ginger. Makes no sense but ok. So I called and explained this saying I wanted ginger so should I add "no ginger" or not. He said DO NOT add "no ginger" which means I will get ginger. So that's what I did and got no ginger in my order. The last time I ordered, I added "no ginger" Thu king the "no" part was a typo and indeed got no ginger. This time I didn't add "no ginger" and still got no ginger. So I guess if you're ordering on door dash there's no way to get ginger. My daughter will not eat rolls without ginger so it went in the trash. Please fix this it's pretty ridiculous.

I think the menu is broad and tempting, the quality is good and consistent, the service is on point and friendly and the environment is clean and easy to get in and out. A solid option for SW Portland at Barbur - happy to have them! The only note is they do use fake crab which I try to avoid at all times and sometimes accidentally get - that's on me and a bummer.

I've had good experience and good food from Momiji sushi. My husband and I have ordered the lunch special several times for pick up and we've gotten orders a few other times. We have always ordered ahead online and then picked up. Our food has always been ready at the appointed time, and sometimes earlier, which isn't always helpful if I'm running errands before a pick up. We really like the sides - miso soup, cucumber or seaweed salad, sesame balls - and have always enjoyed the rolls we've picked out. We'd love to see them offer more vegetarian options (see Bambu or Uchu for creative veg sushi options).

I was craving sushi and started reading their menu last night. Needless to say, if I'm still craving their sushi wares after 24 hours, I clearly had to get some takeout. I got the sushi sampler, some surf clam, and an Oregon Salmon Roll (sans cream cheese). It was pretty tasty! I appreciated that the sushi sampler came with a few different options. The seared albacore and escolar all tasted pretty fresh. The salmon was maybe just a little fishy. The roll was actually perfect and had a good balance of flavors. The surf clam was also very fresh and delightfully sweet. I liked that they were really efficient with packaging to safe on waste. I will definitely be coming back to have more sushi in the future!

I really wanted to like this place but I didn't. The affordable price I believe came with small protein portions and questionable quality fish. I had a craving for sushi and this was the only place open. There were only five reviews however they were 5 star so I gave it a try. Not sure who is giving this place five stars. I was not impressed and I will not be returning.

Tried this new sushi place in my neighborhood. Was disappointed that a roll was wrong in my order, I was supposed to get an Oregon salmon roll but instead had some sort of spicy crab roll. Too bad, I was excited to have some fresh salmon :(. Also didn't honor the Yelp check-in offer (free rolls) because they couldn't figure it out on their register which was annoying. California roll was good; miso soup and sesame balls were great, probably my favorite part of the dinner! Will order again, hope it will be easier and correct next time!

Wolves bite. The miso is sexy. The gun was shot. 10/10 this isn't instahammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Really gross food here. We go to one of the NE locations weekly but were in the area and decided to try a different Momiji spot. Not good at all. It tasted like they probably got whatever old leftover fish the Safeway across the street was throwing out.

I was on the west side and had a huge craving for Sushi! I've heard of Momiji (in the old Humdinger/Pok Pok space) which is random on Barbur. I put my order in online and finished errands and picked it up and it was ready! It's not a sit down place due to the small space inside. The tempura was good, batter was still warm when i got home. They have a good variety of sushi options available while not super cheap but not expensive. The sushi is reflective of the pricing and lines up great with what you pay for. The advantage here is absolutely convenience, speed and freshness.

Food was disgusting. Rice was old and stale, everything that wasn't deep fried was inedible. Absolutely not returning.

Awful experience here tonight due to a highly unprofessional manager named "Chris" who literally told me to "have a terrible night" after I told him to have a good night lol. We ordered relatively large amount of sushi and specifically specified "no cucumbers" in the Yelp order comment section for each roll. We went to pick up the order, but they had it under the wrong name and so told us they had no record of the order. After squaring that away, we arrived home to find cucumber in nearly everything we ordered. Upon calling back, I was greeted by an employee who told me they were "swamped" and it's "on grubhub not them". She asked if I wanted to speak to her manager ("Chris"), who basically reiterated what the prior employee told me. "Not on us -- sorry; next time call and tell us" He refused even a partial refund and said I was "badgering" him and that is "true they were having a busy night." I asked for his name, and said you've lost a loyal customer, have a good night. He responded "have a horrible night." Every person working in this location tonight was incompetent and unprofessional. Will never eat here again.

Staff was nice, food is mid but not bad, would I come back? Yes, I would. Food is at a good price and made pretty quick.

i have been ordering from this place religiously lately via doordash (but for very good reasons). their food is really well made, well packed, fresh, and well worth the price! my favorite things on their menu are the hamachi carpaccio which isnt like your typical sashimi, and comes with yummy toppings & the unagi donburi, which comes with rice + seaweed salad. i normally ask for the rice to be packed seperately, but thats just my preference since i dont normally eat too much rice. although the place is small and quaint (you order at this window type thing), they have some tables outside if you are looking to dine in. the customer service is super pleasant, and they really go above and beyond! i did a pickup order here recently, and they missed my order instructions to have the rice packed seperately but one of the workers ran all the way outside to my car to catch me before i left and offered me a free side of rice to make up for it. definitely appreciated!! i'm about to place another delivery order, and try some other new things off their menu. i urge you to do the same! you won't be dissapointed.

Ordered sushi online to go and I was very impressed. Fast service, friendly staff, good portions and everything was delicious. The lunch special is a great deal and the rocky salmon roll was the best sushi I've ever had Will definitely be back again!

This was the most delicious sushi I've had since moving to PDX- The Yammi Yammi roll was yummy yummy! Super fresh and flavorful, and the combinations were out of control creative! this is most definitely my new go-to spot!

Always delicious! Always fresh! I always look forward to sushi night and fortunate to have this restaurant close by. Egg Rolls. Oregon Salmon Roll. Rainbow Roll. Caterpillar Roll. Nigiris.

Go to sushi. Cheap, delicious, and fast delivery. Tried a bunch of other locations but keep coming back here.

For what it looks like on the outside you wouldn't expect this place to be absolute dynamite. We love ordering for take out and delivery (on Grubhub) from here.

Walked in and waited for 15 minutes for anyone to acknowledge I was standing there, even though the kitchen was full and they all saw me. I finally walked out. This is the second terrible service experience I've had with them. Never again. Try Sho Japanese up the road instead. Fantastic sushi and great service.

My wife and I ordered a bunch of stuff via delivery and they actually changed our order to make it so we got the same things, but they made it cheaper for us! It was a little confusing, but once we realized, we were super happy. Super delicious and tasty, we were very happy with how everything was. We ordered a few sushi rolls and some sides. Delicious. Can't wait to order from here again!

This cute little place on a busy avenue receives a solid A for us as a casual sushi stop. Happened on it during a trip to north central Oregon. Service friendly. Sushi rolls super yummy.

Back in town and picked up sushi from here to see if they've maintained their quality. They did indeed. Sushi is as good as when I first tried it. Don't be afraid of the humble looking place. The sushi is outstanding.

This spot used to be PokPok Wings, but is now bought out by Momiji sushi, which I saw first at Salem, Oregon. The fish never tastes fishy which means it's really fresh. The price is reasonable as well, especially for Portland. The nigiris come in pairs. The chirashi bowl for under $20 is very filling and it's full of sashimi as well. My all time favorite and you can't get this anywhere else, (as far as I know) are the fried sushi's. Yes. Effing fried. A plethora of fried sushi's. I am telling you, this alone is worth the trip. Sweet Firecrackers, Vegas, Salem Rolls, Spinal Tap and Godzilla.. oh my mouth is watering right now just thinking about it. For dessert, they have *the* best sesame balls. Chewy, not too sweet and perfectly sized, whoever owns this place is doing the Lords work. Must visit and must try.

By far the single worst, flavorless sushi restaurant in portland and surrounding area - I have now been to well over a dozen Sushi restaurants in Portland this one being the worst. So bad in fact that if it was FREE I would still not eat it. I don't write reviews often but when I do it's because of one of two reasons...someone went above and beyond and blew past my expectations or something was so bad I'm offended for even trying it. Momiji Sushi was an epic FAIL. It's not even about the money it's just really that bad. Do not trust reviews as they do not reflect reality.

Customer service was superb for a walk up take out space. The Sushi was impressively delicious, so much that we will definitely return. Sushi is a hit or miss in my book and Momiji was a surprising HIT! The cashier made recommendations from the moment he said hello and I appreciated his assertiveness so I took him up on his lunch special that day and ate things I normally do not order so Thank You! Presentation was solid. Temperature was perfect. Portioning and ratio to rice was perfect. Creativeness in the rolls served the tongue well. Will most def eat you again soon!

I was really excited about this place but the food isn't consistent or well prepared. I wrote the owners a letter hoping to get a response instead of writing a review during these times, but a lack of response further demonstrates the lack of management. Here is what I wrote: Hello, I wanted to write to you regarding my order last night as posting a review might not be the way to go just yet. First, we ordered 4 rolls, 2 tempura (warm) and 2 cold rolls. Our spider roll and the Spinal Tap were both warm but not together. Instead, we had the spinal tap with the nigiri and instead of two packages with different temp. rolls in it, we had two packs with a mix of hot and cold. Part of my rainbow roll started cooking in the package and siracha got onto the other fish. Next, the spider roll was fishy. It had a strong smell of shellfish. The salmon was delicious as usual, however the other fish was spongy and very hard to eat. The texture of spongy fish is the second time I have had this happen at Momiji. This happened with hamachi and maguro inigiri I have previsouly ordered. Finally, the spinal tap roll was so messy and full of siracha that it was just not enjoyable to eat. While I completely understand and enjoy some spice in sushi, this is just not tasty. EIther way, the last part is just my opinion. I could go on about my experience with sushi and expectations, but the fact is, the fish is spongy and the rolls were either fishy or inedible. This is the third time I have ordered from you and really want to be able to have you be my local go to, but this last order was nowhere near the mark. Getting a deal shouldn't mean getting bad food.

I'm very picky about sushi. This place is the best! You just have to try it. There are to many good things to say. The miso soup is the most flavorful I've ever had. The lunch special is enough for two. The quality is A++! I even got free spring rolls with check in. They were crispy and soft at the same time! Thank you to the restaurant for the best sushi I've ever had!
