Momotaro Chicago Reviews
Momotaro was just fantastic.
Upon entrance, we were greeted by enthusiastic staff. To start, the beef tsukune sliders: unassuming and so delicious. The meat was seasoned well, and the miso sauce was the perfect addition. The bao bun was soft and a nice vessel for the meat/miso

Both food and ambiance are good! However they doubled charge me and never refund me the wrong charge. No one follows up with me! Check your bill next time you go there

The team reached out to me regarding the incident that took place so I appreciated that. Like I said the food and service was closer to 4/5 (other than the sushi) but overall eating and dining experience was great, would definitely recommend this spo
Sooooooo I've been here 3/4xs now.
Sat downstairs at the bar for the infamous burger. Short and sweet, the burger is a 5! Service typically a 4, tonight a 2. Here's why: We came in at 940. The kitchen closes at 10. We walked in and ordered promptly 2 burgers well done, no cheese,

This Japanese spot was so fancy and tasty! Located in a busy area of Chicago, I recommend coming later in the evening and also checking out their speakeasy below the restaurant. Then going next door to the hotel rooftop bar. It was a perfect place to

It's delicious but you definitely need to order a lot to get full! The service is top notch and the vibes are immaculate inside. We did end up going downstairs for a burger after which was amazinggggg. Great date night spot!
Horrible service! Don't ever come here you will have regret
Horrible service! Don't ever come here you will have regret with the money you spend. Their staff needs training
My favourite restaurant in Chicago.
I came here for my birthday and loved the uni pasta, drinks, and sushi.
Exotic and aesthetic japanese restaurant in Chicago.
The food was unbelievable. I was a bit skeptical on how the food might be but exceeded my expectation and the prices were very reasonable. The sushi and the dumplings were my favorite. Chicken rice and scallop was good as well. Service is really q
Good food and service, but can get spendy.
Small plates, good tasting menu. Not a cheap evening. The crispy fried rice was a great shareable starter. Good service, we liked sitting upstairs- tucked away a bit.
Great Japanese!
Very good Japanese in Chicago. Amazing menu and great team serving the tables. Reasonable prices considering the quality!
A Vegan Walks into Momotaroโฆ and Stays for the Zucchini
If youโve ever been the lone vegan at a high-end Japanese restaurant, you know the routine: smile politely at the sea urchin, ask hopefully about the tempura, and resign yourself to a bowl of rice with a side of pity. But not at Momotaro. From the
Fast food quality sushi and terrible service and ambience
We'd been to Momotaro many times, with usually great experiences, so we were excited to return with a friend. Unfortunately, on a Monday evening, we had a pretty terrible experience. Food-wise: Just average. We ordered several sushi rolls to
Wow this food is amazing.
I absolutely love going here and will return! 10/10 experience.
We came here specifically for the burger.
Burger was very delicious probably my number three burger in Chicago. Love the fries that came with the burger. It is a tad bit pricey. They use a slightly fried bun, which is a nice touch. It is not too greasy overall. We also got the chicken curry.
This place is incredible if you're looking for a high end
This place is incredible if you're looking for a high end Asian fusion restaurant. The vibe inside is edgy and the food is great. Would highly recommend if you're looking for a nice place in Fulton Market. Momotaro Izayaka downstairs is also incr

I hadn't been to Momotaro in 7 years and it did not disappoint. Calvin was our waiter and he was PHENOMENAL. He was energetic, friendly, and helpful. And even though he was so busy, he was very attentive. Also a big shoutout to Hans who was working h
Excellent service brilliant and outstanding food selections
Excellent service brilliant and outstanding food selections . Just a gem . Make sure to make reservations . Bar seating is usually packed .
Sad to have to leave such a negative review when the food
Sad to have to leave such a negative review when the food itself was quite delicious. But our server was so increasingly rude to our group throughout our meal that I'm compelled to share our experience. At first we tried to make excuses on behalf of
Food was excellent.
I'll start with that. We arrived around 5 for our 530 reservation and sat almost immediately. Once our server came over we stressed how we had to leave by seven. Assumed that was plenty of time. Well seven rolls around and we still haven't had our en
On a whole other level.
This whole dinner will ruin you for whatever your local sushi is - no matter how highly rated. Here, itโs art and every bite more nuanced and delicious than the last. Andโฆ do not miss dessert! The team here is so talented youโll want the whole
I really like this restaurant food, service and atmosphere
I really like this restaurant food, service and atmosphere all go hand in hand. My only complaint is the tables are too close together, not really intimate in that way since you will hear the next tables conversation. Food wise, I liked everything I
I had a very nice meal here with my family.
We got seated upstairs in a smaller dining area and it felt very private and intimate. The fish was fresh and well prepared and the hot dishes were specular as well. Don't skip dessert as Momotaro consistently has some of the best desserts and pastri

Momotaro offers a vibrant dining experience, blending Japanese-American fusion cuisine that echoes the styles of Nobu and Roka. While it may not serve authentic Japanese dishes, the flavors are delicious and well-executed. The bar area is lively and
Best meal in Chicago
Seriously the best meal we had during our trip to Chicago. The sushi was incredibly fresh and their flavor combinations were phenomenal. Every single thing we had we loved. Would highly recommend.
Top-o-the-line modern Japanese cuisine
I have mixed feelings about our visit to this restaurant, since the food (prepared at an open kitchen) was absolutely fantastic and I am not especially a fan of seafood. We were taken there by relatives who live in Chicago, and every bite of the ext
So very expensive for the amount of food.
It's insane how overpriced for the quality and quantity. We sat at the bar--drinks were great. I was so looking forward to this being a hit! I literally would never go back. And those noodles--not hype worthy!

Might be a new top contender for my favorite restaurant in Chicago. The inside is gorgeous but not overwhelming and I love that it doesn't feel too packed. Service when I've been is also great, the servers are helpful in choosing the right dishes for

I had an amazing experience here from service, overall ambiance and taste of food. We kept it fairly basic with spicy tuna and salmon avocado roll and the fried rice. Also had some nigiri that melted in our mouths. I wish I caught our servers name be
Finally tried Momotaro.
We walked in and the ambience was minimal but chic. The hostess was a bit rude. She refused to acknowledge our presence. Even when she did, she was awkward. We also had to wait a bit even though we had a reservation. We were then seated and the serve

Hands down the BEST sushi in chicago.
I totally understand the hype with this place. The sushi is so fresh and they have an amazing selection to choose from. I was brought here for my birthday and the waiter made it so special for me. The ambiance is what I think of for a nice sushi spot
How do you reach out to a customer and then blow them
How do you reach out to a customer and then blow them off?!?! Never heard back from the General Manager!! Why bother contacting me if you cannot follow up?!?! Rude!!
The food is good.
The restaurant's service is great. The ambiance of the restaurant is trendy and cool. I will back to try out more of the menu items when I am back in the city!

My companion had been here a few times before and was more than happy to come for my first time. It's a very trendy and chic place. Paul was our server and very excellent. He helped choose a nice saki and sold us the dessert. We got the duck breast,
Excellent
Excellent food in a modern and chic ambiance. Our server made the experience especially smooth by thoroughly explaining each section of the menu and how much to order for our group. Reasonably priced for a restaurant of this caliber. Truly a must-try
Great meal at the izikaya downstairs
Dined with a friend at the izikaya, on the lower level of the restaurant. Cool atmosphereโlow ceilings, moody lighting, a few tables surrounding a larger bar. Quite different (and much smaller) menu than the restaurant upstairs, with a few more โ
A Great Night of Japanese Food
If you like Japanese food, this is a great place to go in Chicago. The wait staff helped us pick our dishes because, aside from sushi and sashimi, we didn't know a lot about Japanese food. The atmosphere is very lively -- the restaurant was comple

We had a beautiful family birthday celebration here recently. The drinks & food were amazing! Impeccable service and such a great atmosphere. 10/10
No stars if I could.
The rule to justify cost for a restaurant is by putting forth an effort worthy of the cost. We were footed 300 dollars for 3 people, for 1 yakitori don, 1 gyutan, 1 meatball, 6-7 pieces of sushi, and 1 tiny bottle of sake for $60. Our experience at M

Food was fantastic especially the sushi.
Great date night ambience and very friendly helpful staff. They had a decent vegetarian menu but the choices could have been more exciting and the cocktails weren't anything outstanding for the price.

Ordered delivery at this place, didn't expect as of a good food quality as in person, but they came out to be sooooo delicious! The beef Chanhan especially was well made with fresh ingredient. Would love to check out the place again in person.
Best sushi restaurant in Chicago.
From the ambiance to the service, to the overall experience this place always impresses me every time. From date night with the husband to bringing in the in-laws from out of town or girls night. Amazing experience and must try for sushi lovers
The food was amazing! I've been disappointed with the sushi
The food was amazing! I've been disappointed with the sushi offerings in Chicago, but this place is my new go to. Everything, and I mean everything was delicious, and no, I'm not being paid for this review . I came out with a friend to celebrate her

Very nice appetizers , sushi was not the best but quite good! Chahan (fried rice with beef) and the beef spaghetti were the highlights for us! We loved the spirit free drinks and the service was quite nice despite how busy the restaurant was.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Momotaro Chicago at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Momotaro Chicago page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Momotaro Chicago to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Momotaro Chicago!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
