Amazing Japanese food in this part of town! The booths in the back are really cozy and have a nice authentic charm to them. Try the sake, pair it with your favorite sushi, and get the Korean fried chicken! Service is friendly so ask for recommendations! Definitely great to bring visitors and friends!

Returned to Momoyama today for lunch, every item was so delicious and fresh! I ordered the usual things - uni pasta (still my favorite pasta in Portland!), uni oysters, shishito peppers and toro sampler as well as some other new items: buttered scallop, scallop with foie gras and tuna tartare which Chef Scott made at request. I love this place, food is always consistently wonderful and so is service! Thank you again for a great meal

Excellent service, fresh ingredients, and refined ambiance. The momo mango drink was really tasty. Try the lobster roll!

This is now one of my favorite spots! The interior is super classy, all their plates were colorful and their food was all amazing. The seafood squid ink pasta was so loaded with seafood and garlic, perfect. The tuna tower and korean fried chicken were both flavorful. Salmon sampler had the perfect rice to salmon ratio. And the lobster was basically a fancier shrimp tempura roll with lobster and it was amazing! I loved this meal and will definitely be back! Our server David was super friendly and provided his recommendations, which the ones we ended up getting were amazing! There was street parking but we opted for a parking lot nearby with a 10 min walk.

We had the calamari kaarage and chirashi sushi. Both were excellent. The chirashi was fresh, artful with a generous quantity of fish. Service was friendly and attentive.

Oh man this place is awesome- and I don't even eat seafood! Plenty of other choices, great drinks, and yes my friends loved their fish too. I had the beef skewers, beet salad, and shared some asparagus. Even the plain RICE is excellent.

This is now one of my favorite restaurants. The foie gras don is very tasty and worth the money. We have been traveling from Seattle and the foie gras don at Momoyama Restaurant is way better than all foie gras in other French and Japanese restaurants. Sashimi is also very fresh. Besides the good food, we were provided excellent service. We hope to come again the next time visiting Portland.

Holiday, Pearl District - quite a few restaurants within walking distance from Mariott Residence. No appointment made, sufficient sitting area both Table and Bar seating. Services were fast and food delivery was even faster ! Must have: Seafood squid ink pasta (not common) Various nigiri ordered, all fresh and flavorful, don't think you can go wrong. Great option if you're around the corner for a fulfilling meal!

Rachel was the absolute cutest! She's a great server who was very attentive to everything, from our drinks to apps to dinner...and more dinner...and more dinner... We started with the garlic edimame. I got spicy tuna rolls. My friend got multiple items, of which he shared with me. I'm not the biggest fan of raw fish, all by itself, but I got talked into trying his tuna and salmon (and whatever the 3rd fish was) and admittedly, it was good. I prefer my fish to have rice & seaweed wrap, as well as spicy mayo, cripsy onions and wasabi (which is what I got) but his lone fish was fresh and not fishy. The only item I did not try was the eggplant. Nope. Tried that once (elsewhere) and I don't feel like trying it again. The restaurant itself was sparkling clean, to the point where you could probably eat off the floors. And parking in the Pearl is safer than other areas in Portland, so that is a plus. I'd definitely go back, because it's intimate for small groups but can also accommodate larger groups (like for my dinner club).

I came here for a romantic dinner with my boyfriend after hearing raving reviews about it from a friend and, it was such a lovely dinner! The inside of the restaurant is fairly spacious with bar seating, booths, and tables. One aspect I really enjoyed was that each table had dividers, and so you had a lot of privacy as you dined. The inside is dimly lit and makes for a perfect spot for a nice dinner. Service was quick and very polite. My boyfriend and I ordered their uni pasta, a variety of nigiri, their spicy salmon crispy rice, and a matcha creme brulee (from their dessert menu). The uni pasta was amazing. The squid ink made it very fun, they weren't skimping on the uni, and it was the perfect amount of buttery creaminess. All of the nigiri were amazing quality as well and I truly loved the wagyu nigiri. Spicy salmon crispy rice was pretty standard--good and VERY filling. And the matcha creme brulee was delicious, but just a bit too sweet and you couldn't taste the matcha as much as I would have liked. Overall, the dinner was amazing, and I would love to come back for more of their nigiri or sashimi and try other dishes!
