Momiji Hibachi and Sushi (13201 Ranch Road 620 N0

This is one of my favorite happy hour sushi restaurants.  Tucked back into a shopping center behind some trees and a Schlotzsky's, Momiji serves up some pretty good sushi for a great price.  Some may say that you shouldn't skimp on price when it comes to sushi, but this is not one of those places.  Momiji is a small restaurant with plenty of seating and simple but cultural decor.

First recommended to me by a friend, who is from Los Angeles (known for having some of the best sushi restaurants in America), a few years ago, I have continued to frequent this establishment 90% of the time I need to satisfy a sushi craving.

My favorite thing about Momiji is their Happy Hour deals.  Monday through Thursday night and all day Sunday, they offer a half priced sushi menu (not every roll or sashimi is available, but there are some good ones to chose from).  Friday and Saturday night, they have a small $3 menu that offers a few apps, rolls, entrees, drinks, and desserts.

The waitstaff has always been superb whether its just my wife and myself or when its been a large party of about 10.

We took our niece with us the this time and ordered some of our favorites.....
