Momo Sushi - Salmon sashimi, dynamite rolls
Posted July 21, 2009
I noticed that Momo Sushi, a new Westend Sushi joint got a pretty poor review over at I’m Only Here For The Food, a Vancouver foodie blog. The author felt that while the rolls looked nice, they didn’t deliver on flavour, and that they were of dubious freshness.
Well, my experiences with Momo Sushi have been good if not excellent so far. The rolls themself remind me of Samurai Sushi, where you’re served completely unmanageable fist-sized multi-bite rolls. Like Samurai, the they’re fresh and flavourful, and priced reasonably. The tempura in Momo’s rolls seems to be made to order, because it is often hot when you get your order. The salmon seems fresh as well, because it still has bite to it rather than being spongey and soft like previously frozen salmon is.
The staff at Momo Sushi could not be more friendly, and they genuinely seem to appreciates the business. If you’re down in the West End, low on cash, and have a craving for fresh and flavorful sushi, give Momo a try. You won’t even have to tip, as they have a large sign on their front counter saying “We Don’t Accept Any Tip”.

Went back again last week – similar experience. Nice rolls, good flavour. Took some photos before stuffing my face.
