Where do you go when your in-laws want Mexican food? A place that apparently hasn’t been a Mexican restaurant for like ten years.
Momo Sushi is the Lake Oswego’s American Style Sushi entry into Portland food scene. There’s the stuff you’d expect – there’s a ton of rolls on the menu, reflecting the Taco Bell model of food production/ pick a handful of products and put them in every conceivable combination because some fat-ass will eat it if you put enough cheese in it. Plenty of things from the hot side – teriyaki, tempura.
There’s also some weird shit – One of my in-laws, desperate for their Mexican food fix, got a burger and chicken wings. Both were declared tasty. They also offer a ten ounce New York Strip. I mean, since you’ve got the grill going anyway, why not?
Still, the food is genuinely good. The Poke Donburi was excellent – fresh and spicy, authentic as anything I’ve had back east – and the rice was excellent. So too was the Yakiniku Donburi, the leftovers of which I had for lunch the next day. The salads were fresh and well dressed. They also do ramen and soba, which was reported to have been good, through very salty, but stood up to being both take out and lunch twelve hours later.
They also have a full bar, which is helpful for ignoring the teenage boy loudly trying to impress his date with how much he can drink. Slow yer roll little fella, she can only get so hard.
Momo Sushi is the worst Mexican restaurant I’ve ever been too. You should try it when you’re out that way.
