Our Story
A Northeast Minneapolis Favorite Since 2018
Momo Sushi is the original restaurant of Chef Sonam Nyorie, a Tibetan immigrant who came to the United States in 2010. Sonam developed his craft as a sushi chef working in restaurants along the East Coast and in the Twin Cities before launching his first business, the Volcano Hibachi food truck, with his brother Rinpo Yak.
In 2018, Sonam opened Momo Sushi in Northeast Minneapolis, bringing together his passion for Japanese cuisine and the traditional flavors of his Tibetan homeland. What began as a family-run neighborhood restaurant has since grown to include Ama Sushi in Edina, Momo Cafe in Northeast Minneapolis and Apa Sushi in Maple Grove.
Same Momo. New Home.
In August 2025, a devastating fire forced Momo Sushi to close its doors. Through a difficult year of rebuilding, the extraordinary loyalty and encouragement of our customers and community helped keep the dream of reopening alive.
Now, Momo Sushi is back in Northeast Minneapolis at 825 East Hennepin Avenue! Our new, larger home offers more room to gather, a patio and an expanded bar experience featuring a curated sake selection, sake cocktails, wine and beer.
You'll find the same creative sushi, traditional Tibetan specialties and warm family hospitality that made Momo a neighborhood favorite.
New home. Same heart. We're so happy to welcome you back!
