There was room for 15-20 people at most, and it was not the space for a large pregnant woman (me), but we went in there anyway, and I squished myself behind a small table with a comfy cushion and looked at their fabulous menu. For once I was happy I was so hungry, because everything looked awesome.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Sushi Momo wall\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/prairiev\/24921337314\/in\/album-72157666463565256\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/c3.staticflickr.com\/2\/1673\/24921337314_669a0e1b09_c.jpg\" alt=\"Sushi Momo wall\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The first night we tried to walk in was disappointing, because they were very busy (and we knew they were popular), and we couldn&#8217;t even wait around in hopes of a table, so we came back the next night after calling for a table (like we should have done the first time around.)

It had fried sweet potato hosomaki, cheddar cheese gratin, and a shiitake teriyaki sauce. I can&#8217;t recommend this dish enough &#8211; and I can&#8217;t recommend you get your own. Sharing with JC was nice and all, but oh I have some regrets about not getting my own bowl of this one.<\/p>\n<p>We ordered a variety of different futomaki, tempura, and nigari, and all of it was beautifully arranged on one board. But after it arrived, we knew we had made a terrible mistake. More. We should have ordered more. Then again, I was eating for 1.5 so my hunger level might be a bit more than an average human at that point. You&#8217;ll know what to do (they do take out too.)<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Sushi Momo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/prairiev\/25268314500\/in\/album-72157666463565256\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/c5.staticflickr.com\/2\/1665\/25268314500_e029a3bd4a_c.jpg\" alt=\"Sushi Momo\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s on here?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>There was Okui Age (&#8220;shrimp&#8221;, sweet potato, green onion , 4 sauces)<\/li>\n<li>Okra tempura.
