About Momoku No Usagi
Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
Ambiance: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Food: 4/5 Drinks: 4/5 Price: 4/5 Parking: 4/5 The theming of the bar felt like you walked in a dive bar in Tokyo, Japan! The staff were so incredibly attentive and welcoming. The overall vibe was to have a good time. The food, although small, packed a great flavor punch. My only regret was not trying more of their extensive selection! Will definitely return during my next SoCal adventure!
Momoku No Usagi in San Clemente is one of those places you can’t wait to tell friends about. The sushi is fresh, beautiful, and seriously delicious, the cocktails are well crafted and addictive, and the team makes you feel instantly welcome. Its cozy “speakeasushi” vibe makes it perfect for casual nights or special celebrations.
This place has become a favorite bar/restaurant in Orange County. Surprisingly amazing fish quality in the sushi! Only serve handrolls but they are all amazing. I do go hungry and fill up on them. The drinks are also some of the best I’ve had in Orange County. « Kick Out The Jams » is now my favorite cocktail of all time. The staff and owner take a lot of pride in their drinks and you can taste the quality. Highly recommend this place!
4.5 actually. Cool decor. Great concept--a speakeasy sushi bar (actually upstairs from a Goonies inspired speakeasy). Friendly staff. Very nice cocktails. And quite good food, but I wish there were larger portions offered (my only complaint). Definitely worth a visit or revisit.
We tried Momoku couple weeks ago, and I am still drooling for the wagyu nigiri. We got lucky they had few slices left for us to order as we were told they sell out fast! Hoping to go back for more soon!
