Momoya Chelsea

Ooooh I waited so long to finally get a spot here! There’s not always a wait, but whenever I was walking by at rush hour there was one! I think it moves pretty fast because it all is very efficient when you walk in. Tables are close, but nothing new for a New Yorker. We didn’t go there for elbow room did we?! The ricotta edamame dumpling with truffle sauce alone is worth overhearing your neighbor’s conversation. The crispy rice is fantastic and some of the best I’ve had. All the rolls were yummy too. Definitely would say you can get the classics, but urge you check out their more unique dishes - they’re special! 10/10 will go back. And the staff was the SWEETEST!

Title: Fantastic Sushi Experience at Momoya Chelsea! Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently dined at Momoya Chelsea, and it was a truly outstanding experience from start to finish! First and foremost, the service was top-notch. The staff provided exceptionally fast and attentive service throughout the meal. It was a delightful surprise to have an open sushi kitchen where you can see the skilled chefs in action, crafting their culinary masterpieces. Speaking of masterpieces, the sushi at Momoya Chelsea is nothing short of wonderful. Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, it's a sushi lover's dream come true. I was particularly pleased with the reasonable prices for sake, which complemented the sushi perfectly. However, what truly made my evening unforgettable was the outstanding service provided by my server, Franky. He went above and beyond to ensure that our dining experience was exceptional. His knowledge of the menu, friendly demeanor, and genuine enthusiasm added a special touch to our meal. Thanks to Franky, we had a fantastic time! In conclusion, Momoya Chelsea has it all - great food, fast service, and an open sushi kitchen that adds to the dining experience. And with servers like Franky, you're guaranteed a memorable and enjoyable time. I can't wait to return for more delicious sushi and outstanding service!

Momoya is one of my absolute favorite restaurants. My husband and/or I eat here almost once per week. It's always fresh and delicious. We bring people here all the time from out of town and they always fall in love with it. Favorites and musts are the bento box as well as the crispy tuna rice but I honestly love almost everything. Come during lunch as there is almost never a wait for a table and slightly reduced price menu. Dinner doesn't take reservations and there is almost always a wait. Only negative thing to say is that the atmosphere was SO much nicer when they had the garage doors they could raise for an open air experience. This is no longer possible because of a hideous wooden shed they affixed during the pandemic to the front of the restaurant for additional seating. The food isn't cheap, but the experience is almost always delightful.
