Review
Mrs. Momo in Warwick, Rhode Island, had a soft opening on April 20th, 2026. Since then, they’ve become popular and propelled by social media influencers who tout their colorful, exquisite-looking sushi and other dishes. One reviewer even stated they would be expanding in the near future.
The all-you-can-eat sushi spot offers 51 different types of rolls for dinner, from cooked to raw, and includes its “Mrs. Momo Special Roll” menu, which features 20 elaborate and cleverly named sushi combinations. That’s not all, you can also order as much as you want from other parts of the buffet menu, including soups and salads, appetizers, rice and noodles, tempura, hibachi, poke, and ice cream. Notably, some options cost extra, like their sashimi and more elaborate desserts. In addition, their lunch menu is smaller across all selections; however, the prices are lower than at dinner. Dinner is also a little cheaper on weekdays.
We decided to sample their Tuesday dinner in early August 2026.
We were informed in advance to arrive early due to potential wait times, and, importantly, that the restaurant stops making food about an hour before closing time on most days. This can lead to issues where you’re let in late and inevitably can’t adequately order what you want.
One of the first things we noticed on their menu was a posted 90-minute time limit and a note that uneaten food could incur an additional charge. However, an employee informed us beforehand that the time limit is usually flexible, and by the end of the 90 minutes, the server may instead just ask you for a “last call” to order, though it’s server-dependent. Basically, at 90 minutes, you may be able to place one final order.
You can also order as many dishes as you want, all at once! This is helpful if you’re a slow eater and worried about the time limit: ordering several dishes at once means you can have everything already prepared and waiting on your table. On the other hand, if you eat quickly, ordering a lot may interest you too. Notably, the dishes are on the smaller, sampler-sized side, so don’t worry about ordering too much.
To start, the service and atmosphere were well below average. It’s loud and cramped, with sound echoing throughout the small, tightly packed, hollow-walled, modern-looking restaurant. Customers were seated shoulder to shoulder, and the blaring early-2010s pop music didn’t help either, especially when we tried to talk with our server and each other.
Our server was quick to greet us initially and take our orders. However, we noticed they were managing many tables, and needless to say, it became both frustrating and awkward. Many of our orders were forgotten about, no refills were offered, and few check-ins were made. Weirdly, when our server and other staff brought over food, our empty plates were seldom cleared (and, again, no offer of refills), making us feel ignored. This became increasingly frustrating because we were already sitting at a very small table, a few inches from other diners — it felt very cramped!
Overall, it was an uncomfortable environment, to say the least.
Several food items were unavailable, including the Poke bowls and other dishes. However, when available, food generally arrived promptly, except for the sushi orders, which took 20-25 minutes. This ate through the 90-minute time limit and left us impatiently waiting as dinner approached the kitchen’s closing time. We wanted to try more, but inevitably, without warning, we were told to place our final orders — the kitchen staff was cleaning up a full hour before the posted closing time. The experience was unfortunately ending — too early, in our opinion.
Anyway, how was the food?
Non-Sushi
We decided to first try many of their appetizer-based and non-sushi dishes. The serving size — small —was awesome, enabling endless sampling! Every dish was plated well and picture-worthy, too.
We got:
Shrimp Shumai, Red Snapper Katsu, Sweet Potato Tempura, Kani Salad, Squid Salad, Green Salad, Miso Soup, Crab Rangoon, Pepper Tuna, Spicy Tartar Tower, Crispy Calamari, Yaki Soba Noodles with Chicken, Tai jalapeno, Yellowtail Jalapeno, Takoyaki, Salmon Skin Salad, Pork Gyoza, Seaweed Salad, and Chocolate and Strawberry Ice cream cups.
The favorites? Easily the Salmon Skin Salad. Fishy, with a good amount of eel sauce and complementary, cool-feeling vegetables that perfectly boosted its flavor. Next up were the Takoyaki and Shrimp Shumai, both of which had a ton of seafood flavor and a thick, premium-feeling mouthfeel that had us ordering them multiple times. Just be careful with these two, as they were very hot, fresh out of the kitchen!
Lastly, the Pepper Tuna, Tai, and Yellowtail Jalapeno. To note: from the after photos, it looks like the kitchen kept messing up and giving us Pepper Tuna instead of Tai Jalapeno. Either way, thin cuts of fish, all lightly drizzled with a small kick. They were all exceptionally fresh, and despite their bold lack of toppings, we appreciated the nuance. Funnily enough, we ordered these (specifically the Yellowtail Jalapeno) after the table next to us couldn’t stop raving about it–“I just want more of that yellowtail!”
However, many of the other dishes, while fresh, felt exceptionally greasy and bland. This makes sense, at least for the fried foods, as they’re straight from the fryer — literally dripping in oil when they’re served to you. However, it didn’t help that those fried portions and even several of the non-grease-bathed dishes simply weren’t seasoned enough, perhaps in an attempt to rely on the fresh feel and light toppings. For example, the Sweet Potato Tempura and Red Snapper Katsu were completely unseasoned and dripping in oil, while items like the Kani and Squid Salads tasted like cold, generic, bland fish-based salads you’d find at a grocery store.
Two other important letdowns: hibachi and dessert. The custom hibachi portion, Yaki Soba Noodles with Chicken, had no seasoning and tasted and felt like it had been sitting in a grease pit for an extended period. Greasy noodles and a few equally oiled up pieces of chicken–Yuck. Lastly, the ice creams were bland — both the chocolate and the strawberry. They were too generic, not sweet enough, and desperately needed some sort of toppings to bring them to life.
Sushi
Following the non-sushi dishes was why we were there: sushi. There are so many different rolls that there was no way we could try them all! With that, we went primarily for the Mrs. Momo Special Roll selections. Each roll was decorated and well presented, with around 6-8 individual pieces each.
We got:
Million Dollar, Golden California, Dinosaur, Sweet Heart, Chicken Tempura, Volcano Roll, Kamakazi, Crunch Tuna, and Dynamite.
The favorites? Golden California and the Pink Lady. The rest, while mostly ranging from generic tasting sushi to pretty good, weren’t nearly as flavorful as the two aforementioned rolls. It also got to a point where many of the rolls started to taste the same. Perhaps an all-you-can-eat sushi place with a time limit isn’t a great spot to truly appreciate the subtleties.
Anyway, for individual reviews, see below.
Pink Lady was shaped like adorable hearts! It was so thick and chunky, with a tropical mango-dotted top and a light, smooth seafood background taste — a tasty, surprisingly super-sweet combination! The mouthfeel was the best of all the rolls, coming out exceptionally thick and satisfying.
Golden California felt loaded with toppings. It’s super creamy and rich, with so much going on in every bite. It was warm, welcoming, and bursting with flavor all at once. If you lean towards subtle flavors, avoid this! Anyway, this was the best one by far!
Million Dollar was similar to Golden California but had a weaker overall flavor profile.
Dinosaur felt pretty plain despite its colorful orange top and drizzled sauce.
Sweet Heart was essentially a slightly spicy, imitation-crab-flavored sushi roll.
Chicken Tempura Roll had everything wrong about it. Not only was the chicken too big for the roll (it required 2-3 bites), but it was also too greasy, overshadowing anything else the roll had to offer. Basically, just order a chicken nugget.
Volcano Roll had a decent amount of flavors, sporting a balanced, lightly fishy rice flavor, with the eel sauce and mayo really carrying its creaminess.
Kamakazi felt lightly sweet from its mango-drizzled sauce on top, but it could have been sweeter if not for the cream cheese inside. Essentially, a lightly sweet, creamy roll reminiscent of Pink Lady’s tropical, fishy taste, but creamier, less sweet, and less thick.
Crunch Tuna was a plain, light-tuna-and-rice-flavored sushi roll. Nothing crazy here, just a classic. I also appreciated the number of flakes they threw on this — very well decorated for a classic roll! However, I didn’t get much of the advertised crunch.
Dynamite, despite its name, was decently flavorful, but it leaned more toward a generic sushi flavor. Also, no sign of any spiciness!
