They have expanded the size of this restaurant. I wish they would have some matching chairs and improve the ambiance a bit. The food is good. In fact some of the rolls are almost too big to eat.
Never had a bad experience coming here. Always great food and good service whether it's take out or eat in. Lots of veggie options which I appreciate and the prices are great value, especially compared to the other places in town.
Obviously the sushi is very good when it has the word in its name lol, but the tempuras and sashimi are also very very good here! They have very fresh ingredients and the service is friendly and knowledgable.
Delicious sushi in Red Deer, I am no expert on the subject, but I seriously enjoyed the food. The rolls were a bit large, but they were nonetheless tasty. Delicious!
Never disappointed, the food is always fresh and excellent. Good value also. There is but one problem and that is they don't post there closing hours well, I have seen a few people turned away when the kitchen is taking a break @2. They need to post it on their door.

So, I have only tried it for takeout and have never sat in, as my wife and I enjoy sushi, but our kids do not.
Momo is the best I have had- and not just in Red Deer.
Positive:
The food looked very beautiful. Time was spent to make sure that even takeout orders look fresh and fun. The specialty rolls and the tempura were excellent. The dynamite roll was our favourite, besides the tempura- have I mentioned the excellent tempura? It was crispy and light. Even the small things were done right: good wasabi, and the pickled ginger is a good one, I think its a commercial brand, but its a good choice. Everything was fresh and was waiting for me at the appropriate time.
Negative:
Not a lot of negative feedback, but the cost of sushi would be my one concern. They aren't alone here and maybe its just a geographic difficulty- Central Alberta is not exactly crawling with tuna, but this is a reasonable if not a fair price. On that note: I didn't like the thickness of the sashimi. The salmon and tuna were cut too thick. They were perfectly cut, but just too thick for me. Maybe a thinner cut would yield better mouth feel and taste, as well as affect a change in price as you could charge less for thinner sashimi. All in all: very good.
Recommendations:
TEMPURA! Excellent. The miso wasn't bad either and their salad dressing has a pleasant sweetness. They have a sushi platter that is very reasonably priced, but my wife and I didn't care for the BC roll, get a double dynamite roll, or other substitution. Don't shy from the combo plates as they give you a chance to try a few things, but you wont get change from a $20 back...
This is my go to sushi place. The food is always hot and fresh. Everything that I've tried there has been so good. It's always quick never had to wait too long. The service there is usually good.
Wait staff needs to work on food timing for large groups, because sometimes people will be completely done eating before the rest of the group even begin to get their food. The rolls they make are very delicious, their appies are wonderful and I love the ambiance of the place.
Stopped by red deer for some sushi, parking is convenient. Came here on a weekday around 7, parking was free so it was a plus.The decor is very Japanese, quite weird how the room is split into two sides. Ordered different rolls & seafood pancake. The seafood pancake is HUGE.
Absolutely incredible Japanese food. Everything from the maki rolls, sashimi, teriyaki plates, tempuras, yakisoba dishes.. even the miso soup and green salad are some of my favorites! This has been my husband and I's favorite sushi place for years, even standing up to some of our favorite places to eat sushi while living in Calgary. Compared to them all, shiso, sushi sushi, sushi maru, this place is hands down the best! The service can be a bit slow, (shiso can be far worse) but for the quality of food I'm more then happy to wait.
Very contented with my lunch bento. 😍Chicken teriyaki suits my Pinoy buds,the salad is fresh. I love the Takoyaki here! Been to shiso and Sushi Sushi, I would say the best Takoyaki is here so far.
Amazing food compared to sisho...and they didn't raise all there prices like other Japanese restraunts....highly recommend it! We eat there every week.
Momo sushi is by far the best (read: authentic) Japanese restaurant in Red Deer. Generous slices of sashimi and house rolls as pleasing on the eyes as on the taste buds
Wow amazing quality! Very impressed! I don't particularly go to a sushi restaurant looking for great service. We order food, have fun with the people we are with and pay. Very reasonable prices. Would definitely go back!
Just right!. I go there a lot, and I always get the Sushi and Sashimi Dinner. It's delicious! Also, it's just the right amount, so you leave full and satisfied, but not so full that you feel sick. The staff there are very friendly, and it's a nice atmosphere. Would definitely recommend it to anyone!
Awesome. My hubby and I always visit this place and are never disappointed. Recently we tried another sushi place and were not happy with the sushi. We definitely won't do that again. Definately the best bang for your buck and your tummy!!
Best ever. We have eaten at momo's 4 times now the maki rolls are the best we have ever had, anywhere. lots of wasabi and ginger and the service is excellent.
MO Sushi, Mo Sushi. Great Sushi!! May favourite in town hands down! I love their lunch binto boxes, but I dont love their hours! The closing in between the lunch and dinner services gets me all the time. The service can be hit and miss, but always friendly. My goto place for Sushi!
Very fast, good, and decent price! Cute little place downtown with friendly staff.
The food quality was good, the gyoza however, wasn't very good quality as I felt I could make better ones at home. Other than the gyoza, the tuna sashimi and the rolls I had were delicious. I came just as they reopened at 4pm for the dinner service and there was only one other table seated, therefore, the service was terrific. Overall rating I'd give it a 2.5/5 stars.
The food tastes really great, and a decent price for the large portions they give out. It can become busy which can lead to long waitings for food to come out; however, it is worth the wait in my opinion.
I've eaten here a few times for takeout, the wait time was very reasonable, and the sushi was delicious! They have all my favourite rolls(love the dynamite roll). Would recommend Momo to any sushi lover!
Best in town. Best sushi in Red Deer - I'm often unimpressed by the structure, stickiness and freshness of some of the other places, but I have never had a bad experience at Momo! They have the best Dynamite Rolls I've ever tasted (jumbo sized!), they have very reasonable prices, and while they might not have the variety some of the bigger places do, everything they make is great. My only regret is that they are closed Mondays, but feeling sad that I miss out on eating there can hardly be considered a negative for a restaurant!
Excellent food and service. Prices were decent and it has a very nice atmosphere.
Thanks for being in RD!. Thank you Momo for being in Red Deer. This place is awesome! The service can be a bit slow, but it is more than worth the wait. Momo only has a couple waitresses who seem to work all day everyday that they are open so be kind to them. They do the best they can. I recently went to Globefish in Calgary and Momo is far better.
Tempura is light and awesome. Dynamite rolls are spectacular. Combos are huge and a great value.
If you haven't tried Momo you are missing out!!
Amazing lunch spot!. Love this place for lunch! Bento boxes have a great variety and are delicious! Yes, it does get really busy here sometimes which makes service slow, but the food is worth it.

HEAVEN!. I loved this place. the decor was a mix of urban tables/chairs, mixed with traditional lights and paintings. which gave it a warm sincere feeling.
my favorites were the dynamite roll. yam yam roll. and their salmon roll and nigri. It was obviously more expensive than a franchise (edos, etc.) but this place provides and exquisite example of you get what you pay for. It was a reasonable price overall. I loved the salad dressing and their basic salad was a nice starter to what was soon to come. The Miso soup was very relaxing and a perfect mix.
The only thing that i did not like was the tuna rolls, which is not their fault because i do not like raw tuna wherever i go. I would have liked a little more noodles in my sunomono
The service was great. i have had better at some other places where you just cant top the service (burger baron Sundre, Montanas Red Deer.) which you can see my other reviews for. i have been there three times in the last three days and i have had the same server (Jay), and she was always very friendly. I would give it 4 1/2 stars just because i think that she could have been a little more interactive with her customers
Pleasant atmosphere, good food. Went here with my little girl. The food was yummy and the decor was interesting. The waitresses didn't seem to speak too much English, bu they were nice
Great food. Real Japanese restruant. I wen there with my family the other night and had a great dinner. The music and decor was adorable and the waitresses were friendly. I recommend going during the evenings when it isn't as busy.
Best Place for Sushi in Red Deer. Been here numerous times, each time i've left more then satisfied.
Crispy Crispy rolls and the tempura are a must order.
Those two items are the ones i've always gone back to, or even order a side of next to the new items i'd try.
Great atmosphere, the staff is extremely friendly and the sushi is delicious.
The only place i'll go to in Red Deer for sushi anymore.
Great. We always have fresh and flavourful food here. That's why we keep coming back. The prices on the menu are also very good.
Best Sushi. Soo accommodating!! Great service and amazing food!! Freshest sushi in the province!!
Yummy. Good rolls. The service was fine. Maybe because we were there when it was not busy.
The miso soup was insy weensy small for $2. i would like more than a teacup size. Best roll was rainbow. I wasnt as fond of the Crispy Crispy.
Fantastic but..... Great sushi. Other sushi spots in Red Deer put to shame. Also great teriyaki, tempura, gyoza. Beware though, twice we have been told on arriving at 6 that we couldn't order sushi due to a backlog or take-out orders. Once we were refused because they were out of food and many times last year they were unexpectedly closed for a variety of reasons. Very frustrating. But recently, reliable service makes us visit once a week. Great food. Once or twice food not great, but normally excellent. Well done, but I hope they have ironed out their service issues for good.

Let's Have Sushi While We Wait for Spring!. Miso Soup: It was hot and it was tasty, it maybe could have had a bit more flavoring with some green onions or aubergine added, but a pleasant soup none the less.
Japanese Salad: typical iceberg Japanese salad with a nice dressing...I only took a few bites, nothing special.
Dynamite Roll: this contains shrimp tempura, crabmeat, avocado and massago (fish eggs) and it was delicious, the tempura adds a great crunch...very tasty roll
Spicy Tuna Roll: this contains spicy chop tuna, avocado and cucumber and it was spicy and flavorful a definite winner.
California Roll: this contains crab meat, avocado, cucumber and massago; it was a typical California Roll, lacked a bit in flavor.
Tuna Sushi: two pieces one of white and one of pink Tuna, it was good especially with lemon juice added on, the lemon piece needed to be bigger, hard to get juice out of a thin slice of lemon and without the lemon it would of been pretty bland.
Gyoza: the gyoza was a winner, a bit greasy, but lots of flavor.
Assorted Tempura: nice light batter and crispy, they do their tempura properly, nothing special but done properly is all that matters.
Service: Was very prompt and friendly.
Atmosphere: Awesome, soooo nice inside, but we had a table near the front and there was a cold draft, next time I will request a seat near the back.
Cleanliness: It was clean, but did not check out the bathroom.
Will I go again: YES!!
Pleasant Discovery. Braved trying a "new" sushi restaurant in Red Deer - nice atmosphere in the long narrow space. Food was a bit slow, but delicious!! Rice was fragrant and not packed to tight, overall mouthwatering sushi! We will return again!
I have an addiction to Momo sushi. It is consistently amazing and I am always impressed with the price and how quickly I get served. Spicy tuna rolls are my favorite.
Great hidden DT Sushi. I stopped into Momo this afternoon, I have been wanting to go here for some time now after reading the reviews. I tried in the summer and they were closed for a reno or vacation somtething like that. This tiny little gem doesn't look like much from the outside but faily cozy inside. The service was very good I got warm smiles and friendly service, I decided on the Dynamite Roll Platter comes with miso and salad. I also chose the Crispy Crisp Roll hybrid of the Dynamite roll combined with california roll. Presentation was very good, rice was seasoned well and quality was really good. Momo knows what there doing and I really enjoyed my visit so far one of the Best in Red Deer 4/5.
Unreal sushi. The best on red deer fast service and good downtown location
I have been eating at this restaurant for about a year now and all I can say is how remarkably the food always tastes great and looks presentable to eat. I have noticed while reading the reviews that very few of them actually know and appreciate this authentic traditional japanese culinary art. While going and placing my orders to the server I have never had any problems with my orders but fortunately I always seem to get the same server that seems to always smile. All I can say to everyone that goes there is " be patient " the food is coming and its worth the wait !!
Great lunch sushi deals. I had the $13 nigiri box, which was fresh and delicious. My colleague had an $11 roll box, which was more than they could eat! Even on a cold Alberta day (5*C) this sushi hit the spot.
AWESOME AUTHENTIC JAPANESE FOOD. After having mediocre Japanese food in Red Deer for the last 2 years, I was thrilled to have Momo open it's doors.
Authentic Japanese food, quality ingredients and fair prices.
Only complaint is that the service can be hit or miss based upon server (particularly because of the language barrier). We had an error on our takeout nigiri sushi despite having made every effort to confirm the amount of sushi in each order.
LOVE IT!!. This is my favorite place to go in Red Deer for Sushi!! I have eaten there many times with my family who are Sushi connoisseurs ;) I have brought first time sushi eaters here and they loved it. We all love this place!
The price is great, the service is even better and they treat my kids so well. The decor is modern, a bit romantic with beautiful touches of Japanese art . I can't say enough about this place, it's just amazing you have to try it for your self!
step inside this little gem and the interior is warm and cozy very tiny maybe 70 seats long and narrow, you will be greeted quickly with a warm smile and friendly hello.
There Is Always Room
+4.5
We also went with three rolls. We mainly chose them for the awesome names.
A small out of the way restaurant with fantastic Japanese food ! I’ve had many types of their sushi & it’s been sooo good ! Last round I had the seafood yakisoba , super good but I wish they would have used the larger round noodles. I’ll be back - Decent prices too ! Just my two bits
Absolutely wonderful place for sushi.
The pieces are bigger than usual, which I love. The taste, quality and selection are top notch. They are currently only doing take out and delivery due to Covid-19, so heads up on that.
I highly recommend this gem located by the Red Deer Courthouse in downtown Red Deer. So good!
Last night the wife and I paired our order with a beautiful bottle of Sake. Delicious!
Momo has been our go-to restaurant for many years now. The high quality of their food and the friendliness of their staff have remained consistent.They have a very diverse menu with options for dietary restrictions. Thank you Momo!
Biggest sushi I ever seent! So good too!
Hands down the best sushi/Japanese food in Red Deer.
The quality and flavor of the food is amazing, as is their service. Can't recommend them enough. You will love it.
BC Roll is delicious!
Delicious ood and large portions. The staff were super friendly.
Always has the best sushi and miso soup. I love this place. The staff is awesome too. The atmosphere is very relaxing and inviting. I love all their plants.
