Amazing! Chef Morimoto out did himself (Iron Chef). He crafted an absolutely delicious ramen and other Japanese-inspired dishes with perfectly balanced flavors. This, along with the ambiance and friendly staff, makes this a spot you can't miss! Highly recommend the Spicy Tonkotsu. The gyoza was also fantastic.

The price you pay is not worth what you get. My partner got the bibimbap, which is typically meant to be a cheap street dish, for $22. It was a cup and a half of rice with few mix ins. I got the Ton Ton spicy sesame ramen and was incredibly disappointed at the saucy noodles I received. To call it a broth was generous, it somehow tasted like peanut sauce and was just as thick. We ended up stopping for korean corn dogs after to wash the disappointment off. We will not be returning.

In town for the weekend and stumbled upon this jewel! We had the Karaage, Tonkotsu Ramen, and Spicy Vegan Ramen, all delicious! Drinks were phenomenal! The service was top notch! Special thanks to Surin (GM) and Darrius!

A complete rip off, $10 for 20 fries. Have never seen fries so expensive and I’ve traveled all over

I took my family to eat at Momosan. First impressions from the servers was why a star was knocked off. The first server was great and helpful. We entered from the parking/back but the greeter was quick to please. We were then ushered by another server to the front of the restaraunt before we got seated and was quite rude. As we stood waiting, I grabbed a menu and was quickly accused of touching dirty menus and scolded for doing so. I get post covid and all but think of all the times prior.

We ordered relatively quick as my kids were hungry. Food was served soon after. As anticipated food was amazing and reminded us of our first time at the restaurant. Kids devoured it and we were ready to leave. It took a good 10 minutes before we can get any servers in the room to see us. They seemed super busy or too focused on other tasks unrelated to diners. I had to ask for the bill a second time before we were released from the place.

Overall, I kept the stars at 4 because of the food and ambiance. I didn't feel super welcomed with my family and it includes kids. They were very well behaved too. The servers need to check their manners and be more attentive to diners. I won't go out of my way to return given the above experience nor with family. Only come here if you have plenty of minutes to eat your food slowly and wait on the servers.

Tonkotsu, pork fries, spicy edamame. It was all a let down to be honest. The spice level was 1/5 mild. They topped the fries with a ground pork which was lacking flavor. The fries had no texture. The noodle in the tonkotsu was a let down. Didn't help to look at the instant ramen noodles as decor as I ate. The broth was the only pleasant part. Uncomfortable stools for seating. Bad bathroom. Horrible music. I was really excited to try a Morimoto location, but will choose to make ramen at home next time. Go for the sake menu. Waitress didn't like us after she misheard edamame and got us karaage instead.

The All star Ramen is 30$ & comes with unseasoned chicken. the broth also isn't very good, in my opinion. The Appetizers were good though.

I first went to this store 3 years ago. Although the Ramen has always been kind of mid, the sticky ribs have always been delicious. However, my last visit here would be my very last because the quality of food has become quite miserable.

In this visit, my order of sticky ribs lacked the saffron garnish. Either they forgot or costs were cut. Either way, it disappointing to see these changes. I ordered the Tsukemen and it was basically a waste of a meal. It tasted like whoever made it forgot to add the tare. There no salt to the broth. It was the blandest soup I've ever had. The service staff did comp the noodles, but with an experience like this, I cannot fathom coming back. Looks like the iron chef has fully rusted. If you want Ramen, there are cheaper and better mid-tier options in the ID. Do NOT try this restaurant. I can't disapprove of it enough.

Horrible experience. We went to the restaurant without an appointment and the server told us we can not seat without a reservation. We’re excited about this place and we really wanted to try, so we opened google map and we saw we can do a reservation for 15 min later so we reserved it. We told the server we now have a reservation, the server immediately showed an attitude on her face and in a really bad tone told us you can not do that, and asked us to leave. Her attitude made us very uncomfortable and we left immediately. If you can not have your server talk normally and respectfully to your customer pls do not open a restaurant.

From some recent comments I see similar bad service experience have happened to others too. For those who are looking for a ramen place I would recommend Arashi ramen, Ooink.

Entered the restaurant and stood patiently over 5 minutes before being acknowledged by a line cook who called for service, who then sat me. My server did not walk me through any drink or food highlights on the menu. Food was quick to come out which was great, but for the price and the name the restaurant carries, the food was lacklustre and disappointing. The ramen itself lacked any depth of flavour and for being $27 with the addition of chasu, which was a small slab of meat being the size of an elementary school eraser which was bland, yet salty. Portion was a bit smaller for the price you pay and the protein that comes with it is just two thin pieces of bacon.

During my meal, the server never came to check on me regarding my meal nor refill my water carafe. Another server working within my section ignored me and proceeded to walk up the stairs to chit chat with my server. After some time, the same line cook noticed I was ready to go and called for service. I watched from my seat the server print out my bill and hand it to another server to walk it down the stairs to me.

To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. I would be understanding if the restaurant was busy. But with a total of 3 patrons dining at 4pm, including me, I am appalled by my service. I thanked the line cook for his service in trying to ensure I have a good experience. I hope management gives him plans to give him a raise or strong recognition for working two roles. And to Darrius who was my server, please be more attentive and show some care to the patrons who eat here. As a first time customer, this will be the last time I dine here and I will ensure my friends and colleagues do not receive the same treatment I did.

For those looking for a ramen place, please check out Ooink or Samurai Noodle for a noodle spot that’s worth your money and time. I left here hungry and frustrated.

Had only just been sat and was looking at the menu when they informed me that I needed to leave because they needed to close. Wasn’t offered a reason or any sort of discount towards a future visit. Plus the place was pretty untidy and empty. I came down because I’m a big fan of Iron Chef but obviously he is tied to the business in name only because Morimoto would NEVER
