Exceedingly rushed service. Gray’s Papaya has more patience. Little bit of shrinkflation on the a la carte pieces as well.

You want high quality Japanese food? Momoya is it. I go to the one on Amsterdam on the UWS. Beautifully prepared and fresh snd delicious food. You would think you were in Japan. You can always tell the quality of the sushi by the toro. This tor was divine. Also, the shrimp vegetable tempura was light and perfectly cooked. And delicious. The shumai, fughetaboutit! Wait staff very friendly and attentive. Looking forward to my next meal there.
