I rated Momotaro a 3 not for the food or the quality or taste, all of that was amazing and the sushi is delicious. I rated it a 3 because me and my girlfriend got 5 rolls which did not fill us up as they only come in 6 pieces and the total for 5 rolls 200$. So yea thank you momotaro you guys were very accommodating and the waiter was very nice but never again. Maybe if it was 8-10 pieces a roll.Wheelchair accessibility: Very accommodating to my wheelchair.

I would give max 3,5 stars. I didn’t find something special about this place and food. The food is good but definitely overpriced. But again comparing with other places there are places with better and delicious food, the service was ok, little bit slow. People mentioned about the atmosphere, hmmm the music is super loud, tables are very close to each other, just a simple place I didn’t think it’s a fancy place how it was described.
This is possibly the saltiest food I have ever tasted in my entire life. You think being raised in northern China would build you up for the absolute salty experience this was, but no, I was truly mesmerized. It is so artistic that it is like tasting the Pacific Ocean in my food, I believe that the amount of salt that is in that bowl of rice amounts to at least half a bottle. Oh no no, perhaps I was wrong, I was not eating a bowl of rice, but rather salt that are in rice shape. Oh how terribly sorry I am, of misreading items on menu as something that is ready for human consumption. This restaurant at the end of the day is truly, ahead of its time. Human taste buds are simply too evolutionary lackluster that I must evolve to an whale to taste this food in its proper form instead. Someone call the capitalist already, I'm sure opening a mine in these food are profitable.

One of the best dinner experiences I’ve had. It wasn’t just that the food was incredibly inventive, seasoned, prepared and presented; the staff were superb- the hosts, servers, and food runners were consistently attentive, friendly and informative without being intrusive. We really felt there was a sense of pride and purpose in crafting a unique meal experience. Sounds corny I know but I really can’t wait to go back!Dietary restrictions: Extensive options for my gluten free companion which meant we could all enjoy everything we hoped to order together
We all really enjoyed our time dinner and food presentation. They even have a separate vegan menu for those who don’t eat raw fish. Everything was so flavorful and delicious i definitely will be back. Paul was our server he was very nice. They also have an easy app called Sunday they splits the bill you just check off the items you ordered and pay, then the next person goes in and checks off the items they ordered and pay via cc or Apple Pay. It makes it easier if your with a group and splitting tab instead of getting a pill and having to charge 5 cards.Vegetarian options: This is one of the first places I’ve seen have a separate menu for Vegan options if you don’t eat raw fish.
We had reservations for this spot with a friend. First off, totally love the ambiance and decor of Momotaro. Really good upscale vibes.The service was amazing. Waters always filled and the waitress helped us with the menu. She even gave her recommendations. We ended up ordered a Chef's Seasonal Nigiri. The server who brought the food explained what ever single piece of nigiri was which was a nice touch.My only complaint was just how expensive this place is. I guess it's expected since it is an upscale restaurant but $75 for 9 pieces of sushi seems excessive. I mean much cheaper than another famous sushi spot near by.Overall I recommend this spot for like a nice date night.

The place is amazing, the flavors are perfect combinations of salty, sour and sweet. The service was great in the hands of Calvin who was not only very kind but also so attentive to our anniversary. The only bad thing is that there is no momotaro back home.
Excellent food, excellent service, excellent atmosphere. Amazing heaven. The way that the personal takes good care of anyone coming inside this restaurant it's amazing. I felt better than my own home. I highly recomend this amazing place!

Maybe you shouldn’t include hidden fees like every other scumbag restaurant in Chicago. I hope this roach motel goes under. Boka Group steals tips from its staff (believe me I know), and these charges are ridiculous. 3% for operating a restaurant? Do better you idiots. Fees for using cards? Fee for this, fee for that. Avoid this place at all costs. You’re better off at Aberdeen Tap or something with actual good food.
