I came for Momoya Upper West’s Restaurant Week dinner and it was such a treat! For $45, I got a delicious 3-course meal that felt like such a steal.I started with the Salmon Carpaccio and Tuna Truffle Crudo, both so fresh and flavorful. For mains, I had the Salmon Volcano Roll with 5 pcs of sushi and the Unadon, super satisfying and beautifully presented. And for dessert, I couldn’t resist trying both the Warm Chocolate Cake and the Mango Crepe Cake, perfect sweet ending!The quality, variety, and value were all on point. Definitely a great spot for sushi lovers, especially during Restaurant Week! - Bella Lu
