What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Momotarou Japanese Restaurant Pokhara is praised for its authentic Japanese cuisine, generous portions, and exceptional service. Diners particularly love the flavorful noodle dishes, signature seafood creations like Miso Black Cod, and the welcoming staff. However, one reviewer experienced significant delays and poor service during a busy holiday period, suggesting potential inconsistencies during peak times.
"I ordered sukiyaki set for late brunch which was quite expensive in the menu. But when my food came, I was surprised and happy with their portions and variety. The noodles were super nice with mix of mushrooms. I had not had such a smooth tofu before. The tofu that came with the set was delicious. If you are two, order one of this set and another choice of ramen."

"Really nice spicy ramen and chicken curry katsu udon! Definitely check this place out if you’re in the mood for some Japanese cuisine!"

"The menu is a masterpiece, offering a creative fusion of classic Japanese flavors with contemporary twists. I started with the Tuna Tataki, which was beautifully seared and melted in my mouth. The Momo Tarou Signature Sushi Platter was a highlight—each piece was crafted with precision, showcasing the freshest ingredients and impeccable technique.
For the main course, the Miso Black Cod was a revelation. The fish was perfectly cooked, flaky, and rich with umami flavors. My dining companion had the Wagyu Beef Donburi, which was equally impressive, with tender, marbled beef that practically dissolved on the tongue.
The service was exceptional. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the food they were serving. They took the time to explain each dish and even recommended a fantastic sake pairing that elevated the meal to new heights."

The first time we ate at Momotarou was in Thamel, Kathmandu and it was awesome!. So when we found out there was a Momotarou in Pokhara as well, we were delighted. We’ve been there a couple of times, and it was quiet for most of those visits, but the food was delicious.
