Sonam’s skill as a sushi chef runs parallel with top Japanese restaurants in Minnesota and beyond, but his non-traditional approach is what makes Momo stand out. Made with the freshest ingredients, you’ll find creative, unique offerings such as the Lungta Roll, inspired by the colors in Tibetan prayer flags and featuring spicy salmon, tuna, and yellowtail, topped with avocado and tobiko; or the crowd-pleasing Northeast Roll — a deep fried California roll topped with spicy tuna and jalapeño, finished with puzu and eel sauce.
The restaurant’s namesake momos (traditional handmade Tibetan dumplings) come stuffed with either savory beef and onion or a flavorful, vegetarian-friendly blend of finely chopped spinach, carrot, and tofu. With an expansive 4-page menu that ranges from sushi, sashimi, and rolls to freshly made hibachi, udon or soba soup/stirfry, handmade appetizers, and more, Momo definitely has a little something for everyone.
Momo also offers a curated selection of sakes, as well as wine and local beer. Try a sake flight to discover your new favorite!
