Momotaro Chicago Reviews from The Last Year
So very expensive for the amount of food.
It's insane how overpriced for the quality and quantity. We sat at the bar--drinks were great. I was so looking forward to this being a hit! I literally would never go back. And those noodles--not hype worthy!
Might be a new top contender for my favorite restaurant in
Might be a new top contender for my favorite restaurant in Chicago. The inside is gorgeous but not overwhelming and I love that it doesn't feel too packed. Service when I've been is also great, the servers are helpful in choosing the right dishes for the mood and great drink suggestions as well. The food - top tier, the salmon belly is my favorite bite in Chicago by far. The sushi rolls are good - salmon one is the best, especially if you like wasabi. I do think I like the variety outside the sushi though as well, the zucchini is fun, spaghetti is a must and the lamb! You really can't go wrong but also grab a cocktail, they're unique fun and strong. Can't recommend enough.
I had an amazing experience here from service, overall
I had an amazing experience here from service, overall ambiance and taste of food. We kept it fairly basic with spicy tuna and salmon avocado roll and the fried rice. Also had some nigiri that melted in our mouths. I wish I caught our servers name because she was very attentive and knowledgeable.
Finally tried Momotaro.
We walked in and the ambience was minimal but chic. The hostess was a bit rude. She refused to acknowledge our presence. Even when she did, she was awkward. We also had to wait a bit even though we had a reservation. We were then seated and the server came to take our order. We literally had 3 different servers come to our table. It was kind of weird. Our main server was absentminded as well. Even after ordering desserts, he came and asked if we wanted desserts. The food was good, but nothing spectacular. We tried the Forbidden Murasaki and another cocktail whose name I can't recollect but it had rum, yuzu and lime. They were both really good. We ordered from the vegetarian menu which you have to ask for separately. We ordered the edamame, cucumber avocado roll and vegetable udon noodles. The edamame and cucumber avocado rolls were good, but the noodles were a bit off for me. I think I can make better noodles at home, lol. Also, they were served in a huge bowl with tons of broth. You'd think that they would give you bowls and soup spoons for the noodles, but we had to ask for them separately. The best part was the dessert. We tried the seasonal ice cream and the flavor for the season was matcha cookie dough. I never thought this combination would work, but it worked so well! I don't think I will return, as I didn't really like the service even though the food was good.
Hands down the BEST sushi in chicago.
I totally understand the hype with this place. The sushi is so fresh and they have an amazing selection to choose from. I was brought here for my birthday and the waiter made it so special for me. The ambiance is what I think of for a nice sushi spot, dark, mysterious, romantic. Ugh I already want to go back.
Learned many things on this visit.
First being it is recommended to eat your food from cold to hot. Was successful in doing tIt had been a minute since I had some great sushi. Enjoyed some sake and had a late reservation. The upstairs looks very nice and will be back to try it
How do you reach out to a customer and then blow them
How do you reach out to a customer and then blow them off?!?! Never heard back from the General Manager!! Why bother contacting me if you cannot follow up?!?! Rude!!
The food is good.
The restaurant's service is great. The ambiance of the restaurant is trendy and cool. I will back to try out more of the menu items when I am back in the city!
Groups of more than 7 people: I decided to have my
Groups of more than 7 people: I decided to have my birthday dinner at Momotaro because I've heard great things about it. Unfortunately, my experience here was terrible. It started with their event planning team, which I had to email to book my table since my group was bigger than 7 people. I emailed them on a Monday evening and got a response the next day in the afternoon, asking for more information. I responded within the hour, but I did not hear from them again. Two days later, I decided to email the main email address and finally got an immediate response. I was informed that groups of 8 or more were obliged to select from a fixed family-style menu. Personally, I wasn't a fan of the food selections. Upon arrival, our table setup was still incomplete. We were seated in front of the bar close to the entrance, with a pillar awkwardly dividing our group. When I requested a table adjustment, the server seemed hesitant, explaining that it will lead to space constraints and traffic issues, then said "there's nothing I can do about it; we can't move your table". I understood the spacing issue that she mentioned, but I felt that my reservations were pointless because I felt as if I walked in and asked for a table. I thought there would be a better seating arrangement in the restaurant for us because I had made a reservation. My friend got hit in the head at least 4 times by guests and servers passing between our table and the bar. There was a mat on the floor in front of the bar that someone tripped over and used my friend's head to catch themselves. It was a complete nightmare. We ordered our drinks before the first course started coming out. Four out of the five first course dishes came out, and our drinks were still not served. The bar was not full, and the tables around us were already getting their second round of drinks. When I inquired on what the remaining time was for our drinks to arrive, I received a somewhat curt response from our server, in which she said "Okay, there's (# of guests) of you here. It's going to take time." She looked frustrated; I'm not sure if the restaurant was short-staffed and she had too many tables. I only asked because I thought we would get our drinks before our next course started. At the end of the night, we asked for the bill. Our server said, "No, I can't get a final receipt; whoever booked it will get the final receipt tomorrow." We asked the manager, and he was able to get us a copy of the receipt. Also, the final bill I received through email the next day did not itemize the drinks; it just had a total amount next to the word "beverage." In conclusion, I would never want to come back here again, especially not for a big party. The food selections were okay, but I would have rather picked my own dishes to share family-style at our table. Some of my friends don't eat red and white meat, so not all the meat options were finished.
My companion had been here a few times before and was more
My companion had been here a few times before and was more than happy to come for my first time. It's a very trendy and chic place. Paul was our server and very excellent. He helped choose a nice saki and sold us the dessert. We got the duck breast, lamb, kani jomaki, momomaki, and some nigirizushi. Everything was so flavorful and delicious. It was one of those meals you just savor. I don't think you could go wrong with anything you order here. The Miso Banoffee dessert was the perfect ending. I would have no complaints about coming back either.
Excellent
Excellent food in a modern and chic ambiance. Our server made the experience especially smooth by thoroughly explaining each section of the menu and how much to order for our group. Reasonably priced for a restaurant of this caliber. Truly a must-try Japanese restaurant in Chicago.
Great meal at the izikaya downstairs
Dined with a friend at the izikaya, on the lower level of the restaurant. Cool atmosphereālow ceilings, moody lighting, a few tables surrounding a larger bar. Quite different (and much smaller) menu than the restaurant upstairs, with a few more āstreet foodā-like options. Everything we ordered was tasty. A salmon hand roll was really fresh. Gyoza were delightful, with great texture on the outside and a flavorful filling. The chicken wings were yummyāsticky, a little spicy. The only thing we didnāt love (even though it was still okay) was a rice bowl. Delicious cocktails that were quite innovative. Very friendly serviceāserver had a great attitude, knew the menu well, paced things perfectly, and recommended the right amount of food for two people. Would very happily return!

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been āmatchedā with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

Give the best answerDoes support work ?
I am having a tough time contacting and elucidating a response from AT Support. I had a listing at 6pm, which was a mistake as the actual listing reservation was at 11pm. This got somehow approved by AT, and a customer bought this from me for 6pm. I want to cancel this listing and refund customer , but there is no way of doing this ! This is so frustrating and making me lose hope on AT. Can someone help me please?

Banned from Resy for selling reservations- Do we have a rat on our hands???
I am new to this app and started off by selling a polo bar reservation and then quickly sold one more reservation.
