The restaurant, virtually in the shadow of Yorktown shopping center, is in a modest strip mall dominated by a corner supper club that features trendy martinis. The first look inside Momotaro doesn't appear much different from a pleasant diner or unpretentious bistro. But a few clues soon appear. The sushi bar has several customers parked in front of a dexterous chef and gleaming fresh fish. A sushi appetizer is bound to get one already plotting a return visit.
More seasoned diners can customize an order on the sushi bar checklist.
Lunch is the time for bargains at Momotaro. We sip on a hearty miso soup while awaiting the next course. A cup of miso soup comes with all meals except the Japanese noodle soup selections. Tossed salads with that mustardy dressing familiar to fans of Japanese cuisine come with some entrees and are worth a taste. It's breaded pork with eggs and vegetables over rice.
