"Self-seating and table QR code ordering means your friend can mosey into Midtown’s Momonoki as soon as that “Saturday morning traffic jam” clears. By then, you’ll already be well into your first black sesame latte and have gotten started with a creme brulee croissant. The Japanese restaurant (which shares space with their Momo Cafe) is usually filled with GA Tech students studying solo, so you won’t feel out of place if you claim a two-top table to yourself. When your friend arrives, just pull out your phone and add more to your order, especially since the stuffed croissant is too good to share. We like the chicken kara-age rice bowl and any of the katsu sandos." - nina reeder, juli horsford
