Momo
Sushi New York City
A
cheap eatery but great food to either take out or eat in (if
visiting New York)
It
is interesting how we discovered Momo Sushi. Two of my
colleagues and I went to the Hiton Hotel to attend a
conference and were too tired walking from booth to
booth. By the end of the day we were tired and
half-way to the parking lot, we were too hot. We
wanted a cold beer but were way over our budget for this
trip. So, while there were several bars with happy
hours in the area, we wanted something cheap.

So
first we went to a place called Cancun (937, 8th Avenue).
They had a happy hour going on and I had heard that they
provide a lot of delicious nachos. The place was
somewhat crowded and when we walked in the wait staff did not
greet us well so we just left. At that point, we saw
Momo. From its very humble exterior, we expected the
prices to be low. We walked in and were warmly
greeted.
The place is
very humble and there is no decor to talk about. One of
those simple eateries in New York run by immigrants (this one
by Malaysians) who can only compete by providing great food at
lower prices. And that is what we got. What I miss
drinking in Boston is Japanese beer. So few restaurants
actually serve Japanese beer and hardly any store sells
it. So even before looking at the menu I ordered a 24 oz
can of Kirin Ichiban. My colleagues, who had never tried
Japanese beer, chose Sapporo for some unknown reason.

 The place is popular among nearby
residents and office workers as a takeout joint. Great
food at affordable prices. If I could eat this type of
food all the time, I
would not get fat. Since
we were only visiting, we just relaxed for an hour or so,
gobbled up some sushi and
California rolls (my favorite ones
have avocado in them), finished our beers, and off we went. Related
