Momo Sushi Miami Pops Up at Mondrian South Beach

Momo Sushi Miami has popped up at the Sunset Lounge at the Mondrian. It is the first pop-up dining concept with the introduction of Momo Sushi Shack from late July through October. The Michelin Guide-recommended Bushwick, Brooklyn-based Japanese restaurant – known for beautifully designed sushi, extensive vegetarian and vegan options, and heirloom ingredients – will collaborate with Mondrian’s Executive Chef Dustin Atoigue to re-create its celebrated menu at the bay front. Check out the video review of Momo Sushi Miami.

Originally from Guam, Chef Atoigue is no stranger to sushi. His extensive culinary experience took him to posts in Las Vegas and Puerto Rico before he arrived in South Florida where he was the executive chef at Katsuya and Hyde Beach, as well as the opening chef at HYDE Lounge in the American Airlines Arena.

Brooklyn residents Phillip Gilmour, Chance Johnston and Makoto Suzuki opened Momo Sushi Shack in Bushwick in 2010. The restaurant is known for its eclectic style — reflective of the neighborhood and Bushwick residents – in addition to a clever menu of beautifully designed sushi, playful hot dishes and vegan-friendly environment. New Yorkers know that at Momo Sushi Shack you can eat fish that “woke up in Tokyo” and the restaurant has been voted the top-rated spot for sushi on Yelp.com in addition to scoring a coveted Michelin Guide recommendation.
