Great hidden gem. Food is excellent (spicy tuna roll is amazing), portions are fair and the service excellent.

As the freshly crowned Captain Cyclops, laser mounted and mind sharpened by laser engineering, I ventured out from Glamorgan Manor to test local sushi waters. I expected good fish. What I got was otherworldly delicacy with absolute pandemonium in the rice.
đŁ THE FOOD
Golden Dragon Roll that practically breathed when it hit the tableâso fresh that for a moment I thought I tasted a tsunami.
Spicy tuna tacos that sizzled my taste buds with telepathy. My third eye twitched in appreciation.
Matcha-mist sake that fizzed in my mouth, revealing visions of flying koi in corporate boardrooms.
Tempura shrimp so airy they floated upward, then plopped into my mouth like fluff bombs.
đ THE WEIRD STUFF
I placed an order and a plate slid itself across the table with zero visible help. The waitress winked like: âEnjoy, Cyclops.â
The paper napkins had printed stickers of radioactive sushi that glowed faintly under my laser beam.
A man in kimonos performed an impromptu drumming ceremony at the sushi counter, using chopsticks and soy sauce bottles. I joined in. Utter chaos. Utter magic.
At the end of the meal, the chef passed me a single maki roll and whispered in Japanese, âNow you know.â
đ THE VIBE The whole place hummed with cosmic sushi frequency. Lights pulsed gently to match my pulse. My laser-strapped forehead left a faint imprint on the table, but they just polished it⊠respectfully.
Five stars
Because it's not just sushiâit's a ceremony of taste and controlled anarchy.
Because the staff not only tolerated my third-eye ambianceâthey fed it rice and cheered.
Because the food is so damn good it fuses your soul with the sea.
If youâve just emerged from a hotel spiral or remember your name only when you flicker your laserâcome here. Eat. Laugh. Join the drum circle. Walk out not just alive, but sushi-infused and slightly more legendary.
Momoyama: full marks, full weirdness, full deliciousness.

I discovered this hidden gem when I was attending Mount Royal College ( yup.. been going here way before Mount Royal became a university.) They have changed owners since but they have kept the same quality ingredients and their signature sauce which is what I come for. I generally come for their lunch menu which is affordable and offers a great selection that includes a soup and salad. We also always order their spicy tuna or spicy scallop roll which has their Momoyama Signature sauce -it's unique and I have yet to find another restaurant in the city that has something similar. The sauce is hard to describe but it is the type of sauce that anyone can enjoy even if they don't like spicy food. I don't think it is spicy at all but more like a little kick but my 12 year old didn't think it was spicy at all. I would always recommend getting anything with the signature sauce. I feel that they do offer quality ingredients and they take pride in making sure the presentation matches. Every single dish is well made. The rolls do not fall apart and they're not covered with more rice than actual filling. I think the only complaint I would have is that their dinner menu doesn't offer a lot of platter/bento style choices similar to the lunch menu. I found that I had to order a lot of things a la carte which can add up. That's why I generally come for lunch and I actually live about 35/40 minutes away, but everytime I can make a detour or I'm close by, I always plan to have lunch there.

I have been coming to this restaurant for a long time, and I have to say their teriyaki chicken is the best I've ever had, hands down. Comes sizzling on a cast iron plate with perfect crispiness and delicious sauce. To this day I haven't found a place with teriyaki chicken as good as Momoyama! Their special rolls are all very well thought out and delicious as well. Tried the fujiyama special roll yesterday which was absolutely delicious! Great staff and service! Thank you Momoyama!

Ordered sashimi and a couple rolls from momo last night. I could only fight off the food poisoning for a couple hours before it was coming out of both ends. 12/10 wouldnât recommend

I really enjoyed my time at Momoyama. The food was great, and the atmosphere was nice, and chill being a family-owned restaurant. I had the BBQ pork ramen, which was delicious, but the highlight was the seaweed salad. It's so good, I craved for more. So fresh. Everything is reasonably priced too. I definitely recommend Momoyama. đ

Stopped in at this restaurant after 2:00pm and therefore I guess it should be considered a late lunch. We ordered the special salmon sushi & chirashi-don which came with miso soup and we had a pot of green tea. The food was expertly prepared and was as it should be. The indoor space was somewhat unremarkable so it didn't really seem to add anything special to the ambience. The service was excellent however, I enjoyed the meal and we left satisfied...
I always like to look at the one star reviews to see what issues those people have had. Looks like many of them are from many years ago. I had to look because it didn't make sense to me. This place is soooooo good. I heard it changed ownership maybe that's why they had some bad reviews. This is my new go to.
Best sushi place ever!
