Favorite Japanese in the District. Momoyama, being in an ideal location close to Capitol Hill, provides excellent sushi and Japanese dishes that are perfect for lunchtime. They have several lunchtime deals where you can get "bento" or Momo boxes for around $11, which include California roll (but you can ask for a different roll instead for a small fee), chicken or salmon teriyaki, tempura, gyoza, salad with peanut ginger dressing and rice. It's an excellent deal, especially if you've got a big appetite. Their rolls are great as well, and they offer the standard sushi rolls like California and salmon nigiri, but also have more signature rolls that you won't find elsewhere. Expect to wait awhile if you're opting to eat in during lunchtime, otherwise get take out or enjoy it at the picnic tables outside.
