family owned and the quality shows. my wife and i are sure glad we found momoya. it is a wonderful neighborhood restaurant near the costco in kirkland (on 85th). theplaceis family-owned and run. dad and one son are in the kitchen, mom manages the restaurant with the second son. everyone is friendly and hospitable. the restaurant is clean, tidy and most importantly, the food is excellent! they offer a lunch bento special that is perhaps one of the best deals in the area - five different courses for less than nine bucks! we have had their sushi, ramen and bento boxes. all have been very good. our one complaint in our two trips thus far is that the ramen came in a bowl that was too small -- it did not allow for enough soup to complement the ample portion of noodles.
i love neighborhood gems like momoya. i am hoping to find more!
