LATE LUNCH AT MOMIJI

It was 5 minutes to 3pm and we haven't had a decent lunch yet. Decided on this Japanese Resto for the second time and I always had a good experience with them. 

Entering the place is so cozy because the place is situated just across Bus Stop along Seymour Parkway in the north, few meters away from Parkgate on the west, near the Parkgate library on the south and if you miss out a meal from a grandiose sight seeing from Deep Cove on the East, you can easily drop by Momiji along the way. 

This is what every customer will get to see as they enter the restaurant. A chef and a waitress greeted us as we entered but we have to find our way to our table on our own, which I find it unusual because most restaurants I've been to have someone lead a customer to their table. 

Since it was a wee hour of day, there's only a couple who's dining in at the corner and the rest of the place was empty. 

On the other corner was a chef having a meeting or might be having late lunch, too. Didn't really check closely.

Then came the waitress, a Japanese who speaks softly as she took our orders. She handed us the menu and asked us first what we want to drink. 

I ordered coke for a drink, with "lots of ice" and was delivered to my table after a minute. I call that service quick!

Then checked on the menu but found a good deal for their lunch that is served til 3pm. Chose from A,B,C and you'll have a meal that costs only CAD9.50.

I ordered the 3-piece fried gyoza from A, odun soup from B and California roll from C. 

My ward ordered miso soup from A, Chicken Odun from B and California roll from C and tea for a drink. 

We made additional half order of prawn tempura (4 pieces) which was served first. It was crunchy and perfect. 

We spend an hour there trying to savor every bite while overlooking at the view outside. 

Overall, I am a satisfied customer. My belly was full and most of all, I had a good time. To rate the place, I give their service 9/10, ambiance 9/10, food 9.5/10 and price 9.5/10. I guess, my picture says it all. I am indeed full and well pleased!

So the next time you consider a Japanese food adventure, try Momiji. There's always a story to tell here. And by the way, they've got a patio, too, for those who prefer outside dining. 

The place is located at 3720 Mount Seymour Parkway, North Vancouver and is open from 9:00 am to 10pm on Weekends and from 9:00am to 9:00pm on weekdays.
