This place is a hidden gem. Small shop in a strip mall near residential area serving up great sushi and traditional bento style meals. The chefs are funny and engaging if you sit at the sushi counter. Have a good selection of sake and Japanese beers. They usually have a game on the TV behind and the servers at tables are always attentive and helpful. We've eaten here a couple times a year for several years. It's a great place for a quiet date night. Minimal change to menu over time and that's a good thing. Sushi menu does not disappoint.

This restaurant is one of the many reasons I could never move away. I have been eating here for over a decade. This is one of only 2 places in the US that I will eat sushi. Try the Fuji Mountain or the Crunch. Top notch.

Hands down the best sushi in the west suburbs. The rest at any sushi restaurant for me is the spicy tuna. Momoya has nailed the spicy tuna and no one comes close. Go to items are Jenny, Dynamite A, and yellow tail nigiri.

Great sushi. Loved the spicy tuna with mango roll. The crunch roll and the spider roll were also excellent!

Out of all the places in the aurora/napervillle area, this place has the best sushi and a great staff. The young lady, that's usually there, is a star. So friendly. the cooks are killing it, always.So so soooooo good and again the best tasting and prepped sushi around the area. Other places may look a bit nicer, but they DO NOT measure up to how this place serves and tastes.
It was okay! Found this place because it was nearby. The lady that came up to me and the gentleman making the food were friendly. We got the Momoya, Spicy Scallop, and the Shrimp Tempura rolls. We ordered 3 different rolls and 2 of them pretty much tasted the same. The raw fish on these sorta turned me off (usually don’t have a problem with it being raw). My favorite had to be the shrimp tempura. Definitely will try it again soon, and maybe dine in for a different experience.

Momoya exceeded my expectations with its incredible rolls and yummy miso soup. I had an amazing meal here and I would 100% come
We have loved Momoya for years! We recently returned to the area and were happy to find it still in business and same great non-fussy food and service. We always enjoy the generous portions of sushi and the bento boxes, and they have a great selection of creative and well executed rolls.Kid-friendliness: Always been very accommodating to kids and service is quick enough to keep them busy
We went for lunch on a Friday, the ambiance was really nice, restaurant was really clean and the food delicious. Simple and delicious, highly recommend the bento boxes, favorite roll is probably the deluxe cali

I've been a customer at Momoya for years. I used to live right down the block and would walk over on any given day for sushi to go or dinner at the bar. I moved from the neighborhood about 5 years ago and took my girlfriend there when we first started dating. It was her first authentic sushi experience and she fell in love with sushi from that evening on.Momoya is an independent and locally owned Japanese restaurant. The friendliness of the staff and quality of the food has been consistently excellent!I can honestly say it is the best sushi I have ever had. I've had as good, but never better. I highly recommend their specialty rolls and other specials.If you want amazing sushi in a friendly, neighborhood restaurant, Momoya is the place for you.Furthermore, I would disregard any rating under 4 stars. As I've said, I've been going there for years and have never had a negative experience. Go with the 4 and 5 star reviews and check it out for yourself. You won't be disappointed!
