Fresh sushi made on the spot by Momo himself! This place is the closest restaurant to the condo, and also happens to be the best sushi in town at a great price. I'm a big fan of their salmon-cado rolls and their gyoza.

Try out this lively breakfast/brunch scene. If you are looking to add a little flare to your morning, order the famous "Mahoney" and flip a coin to see whether you eat for free, or pay double for a meal of the chef's choice! Just beware, you should have an open-mind when ordering the Mahoney - you never know what you're gonna get!
