Momo Chicken and Grill

Food was excellent. Tried several appetizers, bipimbap, fried chicken breast, all very flavorful and fresh/hot. Definitely a great stop for dinner before seeing a show. Food came out fast. Spot was surprisingly empty for a Friday night, their happy hour specials are decent, and they have several large tables that could accommodate larger parties. Locals need to check it out! Service was lackluster. We probably would've had another few drinks / cocktails if we had been given the opportunity. Food was brought out with kindof a "here". Perhaps just an off night for the wait staff we had.

I recently had the pleasure of dining here, and I must commend the exceptional service provided by Soho, Makloy, and Paige. Their attentiveness and friendly demeanor significantly enhanced my dining experience. The drinks they recommended were delightful and complemented the meal perfectly. Their professionalism and warmth made for a memorable evening. I highly recommend 💯

BEST Korean FRIED CHICKEN! My friends and I were visiting from out of town and we wanted a decently priced place near the Wharf- this met everything! It was only a 10 min walk from the Wharf The chicken came out super hot, it was very clean and our server + the manager were super great! We would definitely visit our next time in DC!

Ordered off door dash so I can't accurately rate the service or the atmosphere. First time eating Korean fried chicken, and it was good! I got the 5pc soy garlic legs, and my chicken was still hot and crispy when it arrived almost 20mins later. My Daughter got the Korean spicy pork bbq platter and said it was really good as well (no photos, sorry)

Such a wonderful experience!!! Had to try the chicken wings and Korean tacos. Let me tell you, they were definitely worth the price!! I’m very big on chicken wings so these definitely were it. Not only was my food great, but I also had the pleasure to speak with the manager Daniel. He was very attentive and polite to a few questions I had in regard to the food. He definitely made me and my partner feel even more welcomed in the restaurant!!! Overall, I highly recommend this place, staff is excellent and the food it’s top tier.

I recently had an incredible dining experience at Momo Chicken and Grill in Washington DC. The moment we walked in, we were welcomed by the cozy and organized ambiance. The food truly exceeded our expectations – we savored the delectable Korean fried chicken, crispy fried dumplings, and a refreshing salad packed with fresh vegetables. The chicken fried rice was a delightful medley of flavors, leaving us craving for more. What truly stood out was the impeccable service provided by the staff. They were not only prompt and attentive, but also incredibly kind and accommodating to our family. Their warm hospitality added an extra layer of enjoyment to our meal, making us feel valued and at home. Moreover, the restaurant's cleanliness added to the overall positive experience. With a spotless environment, we felt comfortable and relaxed throughout our visit. All in all, I wholeheartedly recommend Momo Chicken and Grill to anyone seeking a memorable dining experience. From the mouthwatering Korean cuisine to the exceptional service, this restaurant has it all. Make sure to indulge in their Korean fried chicken – it's a true highlight!

Tried the happy hour 1/2 garlic 1/2 spicy wings deal. It was good. Very attentive staff. Would come again.

Beautiful decor. Greeted and seated immediately. Server was very personable and very knowledgeable. She was very familiar with menu items and offered her favorites. I had the ramen noodle bowl and it was delicious. The beef was so tender and the broth was very soothing. The vegetable fried dumplings were amazing. The ones with cheese is an acquired taste. I really enjoyed this dining experience. Great ambience, food and family.

I was in need of soup the other night and searched Yelp! for any restaurants in walking distance that had noodle soups. When Americans think of noodle soups their thoughts immediately go to pho. But too many people overlook ramen because when they hear the word, they immediately think of college dorm cup-o-noodles. There is no similarity. Good ramen has tender, almost al dente, fresh made noodles, tender proteins (like juicy chicken, seafood, or pork), bok choy, soft boiled egg, tofu, and other ingredients. I had never heard of Momo so I took the two block walk to check it out. The place has a pleasant bar vibe and plenty of tables for sit-down dining. I was dining solo so decided to grab a bar seat, have a draft of a local DC IPA, and watch a soccer game. The bar tender was quick to take my order of Spicy Miso Ramen plus a side of Kimchi and I enjoyed the casual company of bar diners. The restaurant was lightly populated when I got there at 6:00 on a Friday night, but by the time I left at 7:15, the place was buzzing with people. The ramen was very good, I would have given it an excellent if the egg hadn't been hard boiled instead of soft boiled. The Kimchi was exceptional though. I'm glad that I've got this local spot in my area and will be back.

I went in during a random day of the week just to get out the house. They still had some Valentine's Day items on the menu so I figured I'd try at least one item that may not be available. Our server Isaac was incredible. I felt bad because he was also the host but he was running around taking care of everything with a smile on his face. He was very warm, friendly and an absolute joy. I'll never turn down a pork belly bao bun so I had to order. But I was also interested in their Korean fried chicken. The Pork buns were okay as well as the chicken. The other people in my party had fried rice and ramen. They thoroughly enjoyed the ramen but I was told the fried rice was pretty average. I ended up getting the French Kiss Vday cocktail which was gin, pink lemonade, glitter and champagne. I did the drink was a little expensive for what it was but it was okay. All in all, I'd probably return if I was in the area but mainly to try the ramen.

This place has been declining recently. While the food quality is still good and I dig the vibe of the place, consistency and service have become major issues. Living nearby, I usually order takeout because the service has always been slow. I can typically order, pick up my food, and be home faster than dining in. However, lately, my takeout orders have been frequently incorrect. When I bring this up, they offer free items or discounts for next time, but there's no clear way to redeem these offers, and they don't provide the name of the person making them. It feels insincere. A recent experience pushed me to finally write this review. A few weeks ago, I brought a friend here since it's nearby, but the visit was awful. Here's how it went: - 45 minutes to receive our first drink. - 1 hour for cheese wontons. - 1 hour, 15 minutes for water. - 1.5-1.75 hours for a 20-piece chicken wing. We repeatedly raised concerns with the servers, who would say things like, "Oh, that hasn't come out yet? I'll check," but never followed up. The excuses we heard were unconvincing: - "We're busy." This is a weak argument. There were only 3-4 tables occupied at any time, and few takeout orders coming in. We even saw other tables arrive, eat, and leave before we got our food. When our dishes finally arrived, they were piping hot, meaning they hadn't been sitting in the kitchen--they just weren't being prepared promptly. - "Our CEO is here." This was true; we were seated next to the CEO, who was being attended to by the manager, Daniel. While Daniel walked past our table multiple times, he ignored our attempts to get his attention. He later claimed he didn't see us, which was untrue as he looked directly at us several times. Frankly, having your boss in-house should improve service, not make it worse. -"Let me know next time, and I'll discount your food." At least I now know who to talk to, but this felt like another hollow gesture. It took nearly two hours just to speak to the manager after repeated attempts, what will happen next time? The only positive aspect, besides the food itself, was the bartender. She eventually went out of her way to check on us and even brought us water--something the servers failed to do for over an hour. In the end, I can't recommend this place. If you're craving similar food, go the extra distance to Bonchon on the other side of South Capitol. Their food quality is comparable, but the service--ironically, from a large chain--is much better. Bonchon was here long before this place opened and, at this rate, will still be thriving long after this restaurant shutters its doors.

A nice restaurant that offers asian food, like Korean bimbimbap and fried chicken. Ordered the miso ramen which is decent. The noodles were a little hard. Seems like it needs more cooking. The soup base was miso but didn't really taste that great. The ramen I ordered was spicy but what really made it spicy was just putting lots of chilli oil.

Momo Chicken & Grill definitely came through in a bind because it was slim pickings for a sit-down spot in the area (and I was in extreme starvation mode). After sitting at the bar, I was promptly greeted by my bartender/server who wasted no time in grabbing me a cold pint of beer for me. Although the restaurant is known for it's 'award-winning Korean fried chicken', I decided to go the more tradition route with a Bulgogi Bibimbap. For about 18 bucks, I thought the bowl came with a generous amount of food, and the food was above average compared to other bibimbaps that I've had. The restaurant has a pretty friendly and open vibe, and would be great for a simple 3-6 person gathering.

I enjoyed my time at this venue. It was recommended by my son-in-law and he is a great Foodie. He raved about the Korean chicken and he ordered us a half and half selection. It was a nice spicy Korean glaze and a soy garlic glaze. I was also very pleased to see the selection of noodle entrees. The waiter and staff was friendly and personable. It's a nice cozy atmosphere. There's a full bar to one side of the restaurant. There's clean single stall restrooms. The portions are a decent size. The quality of each of our entrees were excellent. The price reflects the quality, so I respect that. The kimchi was on point. It's a good local spot with a nice selection. I ate their food twice one week since it was near my family's apartment.

Please do not not go to this restajurant! All of their employees are incompetent! I went to get my order and they forgot everything I went there for! No wings and no curry at all! Please do not ever buy anything from here! Best manager can do is to offer you 10% and not even apologized! Very unacceptable'

The food was sooooo amazing. The veggies were good and the shrimp were tasty. I never loved LoMein this much in my life. And the spice level was spicy

Delicious Chicken! It was definitely busy, but with food that good I understand why. The restaurant had tasteful and modern decor.

The bulgogi was really good. I ordered delivery and it was still nice and hot. The kimchi was a little spicier than I liked but it was still good. I love love all the vegetable sides and the price was reasonable.

The food was ok. Portions were a little small for the price. Service was good. Affable. Setting was good.

Great spicy pork bibimbob dish! The ramen is very large but my kids enjoyed it. The service is great and it was empty at around 12 for an early lunch. We liked the lunch deal also although my husband said the portion was smaller than he thought. Overall, it's reasonably priced and convenient in the national mall area.

I wasn't expecting to be able to eat anything here based on the name of the restaurant and the fact that I'm vegan, but upon looking at the menu, they had a couple of Bibimbap and platter options using tofu (teriyaki tofu or gluten-free tofu) that I could get. I went with the Bibimbap without the egg to make it vegan, and it was delicious! I love that they used a little toasted sesame oil in the dish to give it some extra fragrance and flavor. My non-vegan friends got non-vegan dishes and enjoyed them, too. It was quiet when we were there - a little too early for most people to eat dinner, so service was quick and attentive. Noise level was average since there weren't a lot people and the music was audible but not loud.

I love when out of town and stumble unto a delicious spot to eat. This is like an asian/korean inspired restaurant that seems to specialize in chicken. when entering I was greeted promptly and able to choose my own place to sit. The inside is clean and modern and has a very nice bar. Since they are first and foremost a chicken place I went with the Half and Half (Soy Ginger and Spicy) Wings and Beer Happy Hour Special and the Spicy Pork Bibimbap. The beer Ichiban I ordered came out in a cold mug which I always enjoy. The wings were next and they were amazing and likely one of the beat wings I have enjoyed. I am a sucker for asian food so the flavors were perfect for me and the wings were just perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy and falling off the bone on the inside. The wings were perfectly coated in the sauces and not soggy or too saucy. The bibimbap was a standard yet perfectly executed bibimbap with a perfectly fried egg on top and delicious gochujang sauce on the side. I am here all week so will need to definitely find my way to this spot again!

Chicken was ahhhhmazing!!. Good flavor, nice and crispy. The best i ever had. Deeeliciousss.

Mono is in a high traffic not so easy to park location in SW right near the waterfront. Tip is across the street is a parking garage for the Safeway so pull in there if you must. Now let's get to the food, people have talked this place up for a long time about how great the food is, especially the chicken. We'll they were absolutely....wait for it...not right! All the food here is okay and I mean "just okay". Now would I go back yes I would, the service was decent and the place looks nice. They also have a bar. So it's a place to visit when I'm passing by and am hungry. All these 4 and 5 star ratings I've seen and heard...your tongue should be ashamed of yourselves.

The interior is really pretty vintage with a bunch of Beatles albums on the wall. The bar area is pretty minimal, so it has a very clean feel to it. The fried chicken is really just chicken that is pretty well fried, but it overall is just pre-standard. There wasn't anything about the chicken that really stood out to me. The soy garlic chicken was a bit too salty. I will admit, though that the drumsticks are huge. It makes me wonder what kind of hormone was injected in the chicken that resulted in such large chicken drumsticks. The menu said that the chicken would take about 30 minutes to cook but I believe we got it in about 15 minutes. The extra large chicken drumsticks had 15 drumsticks and a small cole slaw in the middle; I recommend getting a side of rice to cut the saltiness of the chicken. Overall, I think that this is a good place to get fried chicken if you are really hungry. This wasn't the best fried chicken that I ever had but it is passable.

These wings are my favorite in the city. They are SO flavorful, and they've become our default meal for 'just got back from the airport and need something satisfying and fast'. They're huge (often 3" wings), and super crispy. Even good the next day! We've been to the brick and mortar once too, which was clean and nice, and had fast service there too, just found parking to be a bit tricky.

We had a nice dinner here last weekend with a friend and her two young children. My spicy pork platter provided more than enough food for dinner, and was quite tasty. Nancy claimed to find the bulgogi banh mi sandwich too spicy, even apart from the large slices of jalapeno sitting along the edge, so I was looking forward to finishing leftovers for lunch the next day, but she managed to eat it herself, so I am assuming it must have been delicious. We both liked the fried momo dumplings Our friend assumed that her children would eat the cheese wontons (like her, they are vegetarian), but it was not to their taste. They filled up on french fries. Our friend is gluten free as well as vegetarian, and the staff was very careful to make sure she could eat her bibimbap -- which she liked. Demerits for the place being overpoweringly loud.

I went to MoMo Chicken & Grill for lunch and was pleasantly impressed. I have to admit, I'm not a huge chicken lover, but this chicken was fresh, hot, spicy, well-cooked, and delicious. They cook the wings to order, and I was informed that it would be a 20-minute wait for my food. Since they have a bar, I ordered a drink while I waited. I will definitely be back to try their soy garlic, soy and spicy, and some of their other food options. If you're in the area, you should definitely give these wings a try.

Great food and atmosphere. Friendly service. Our server Omozele was super friendly and helpful. Will def go again.

I was looking for Halloween drinks and this came across my Instagram timeline, so I decided to drop in for happy hour. It was pretty empty and they only had one waitress but she was amazing. We ordered the Korean tacos, the spicy buns and the Beef Bulgogi Banh Mi sandwiches from the happy hour menu. We didn't try the wings, but I really enjoyed everything we had and I got my Halloween drink! It was so good. I would definitely go back.

I found this place on instagram for a casual date spot. It's in a nice location to navy yard even though it's next to the waterfront metro. I ordered the beef bulgogi Lomein as my main dish. Overall taste was wonderful, seasoned and noodles well done. The meat was just a tad bit over cooked and there was more meat than noodles. Still a good dish I recommend. I also ordered the Korean fried chicken 10 piece wings half and half. Depending on how many pieces you get, they will tell you the time it takes to make them because they are made fresh and honestly the wait was worth it for 10 pieces. I think I waited 20 minutes for them to be done and they came out enough time when I was done with the lo mein. The wings were well covered in sauce, crunchy, sweet and had a kick to them.

The food here is great! I like how there are options that lean on the fresh/healthy side. Their noodles with chicken stands out to me. I want to keep supporting this small business.

It's Bonchon but closer to my house! Food is good and well priced considering the area."Korean" is a stretch tho.

When you walk into this establishment it is absolutely beautiful! The parking is a little tight so keep that in mind. The food I would rate 9/10. Service wise, they do run a little slower, however, I think it's because they had so many orders for delivery. I don't have a picture of chicken, but the soy garlic and hot were both delicious! Will definitely return.

After walking around the wharf and being unable to find a restaurant to eat at, me and my friends stumbled upon this appetizing spot! We were greeted by warm customer service and seated promptly. We arrived just in time, as the place started to get very busy after we were seated. Me and my friend both ordered the Chicken Teriyaki platter, and it was honestly beyond delicious! The portions were just right, the chicken had a lot of zest and flavor, the veggies were fresh, and I also asked for chili sauce and soy sauce on the side. Both of the sauces added some serious flare to the dish! Yummy yummy! The waitresses were pretty busy, so the wait for the food is about 20min (but it is so worth it). I am glad that I tried this place out! Cheers to good eats!

Ordered to-go a couple nights ago and I'm compelled to write a review. I order 10 wings and they were fine. I wouldn't get them but I would return based on the wings. I was thinking my issues with the wings were me and not with the wings on their own. I didn't like that they forgot to put my pickled daikon in the bag but that's a human error that I can dismiss. Here's were things went way downhill for me. I ordered the ginger salad and it was hideous. It was $10.00 which is cheaper than most salads in D.C. but it was also smaller than a salad from Jettie's, Sweetgreen, etc. But the salad was mostly iceberg lettuce which, does not fly in Washington, D.C. in 2022. Additionally the lettuce was old and pretty brown. I found myself picking a lot of it out. The salad did have spinach and some of that was old and slimy. I didn't want to but took a picture for proof. A few months ago I was walking downtown and a person from Bowery Farms handed two coupons and one or two boxes of mixed greens. I'm not at all a chef but I made better salads than what Momo did to me. 2/5

Went about 30 minute before closing. Typical Korean chicken spot. I got the breast, very good. I got half and half, spicy are really spicy though. Didn't eat them all, not the best warmed up, they'll dry out. Will be back. Staff nice as well.

- Waited a while to get seated even though there were empty tables. - Seems like they're severely understaffed - They have cocktails for $10 and soju for $15 - They're not shy on the alcohol in the pomegranate martini - The chicken is made to order so it's about a 30-40min wait. Don't come hungry - We ordered half and half flavour and the spicy level is quite high. I didn't enjoy it at all. They were really sweet to give us a discount on the bill because we couldn't switch out the spicy ones for soy wings - They have two TVs for games

This place was not good, but not terrible - mediocre at best. The flavor of the food was not bad, but like something anyone could make at home....service was also just ok. I also thought the choice of ingredients were weird. Why are there pickles in a fusion taco? The salad that came with the bao buns was overly wet, so it was creating a puddle in the plate and the dressing slid off. Overall, would not come back, especially when there is way better food in the area.

Very spacious and a great spot to visit for a bite for eat. I like their chicken a lot and the bowls are great.

Got chicken bibimbap bowl. So oily! Drenched in sesame oil unexpectedly, chicken cooked in oil... was so hungry from traveling and just needed food in my belly STAT so I ate it BUT, felt like a bloated balloon shortly after it. Much regret. Never had such an oily bibimbap bowl anywhere. BF got the bulgogi and said it was all oily too, down to the bottom when the rice was swimming in oil. Not that many veggies either. For sure not worth the nearly $20 each. Will not return.

We ordered the chicken breast (original) which was dry and tasteless. It definitely needed a sauce, and at $18 an order, the sauce shouldn't have been extra. The fried chicken leg with the soy garlic sauce was much tastier and not dry. It's the only menu item I would offer again. We also tried the steamed vegetarian dumplings, which were bland and boring. We got the chicken lo mein which was also bland. The worst was the bulgogi platter. The meat was cold and tasteless and there was basically no sauce.

Bibimbap was warm and filling. But they forgot to get me brown rice. Rip. The white rice a bit on the mushier side. I dont doubt I could find bibimbap somewhere else nearby for cheaper w similar content tbh. + service wasn't the greatest nor very friendly.

Great service. Omozele was very dedicated to making sure our experience was above average! This kimchi is spicy, crisp and fresh!!! White rice and chicken tacos were flavory!!

Went today with my dad and partner and it was AMAZING! One of the only sit down restaurants off the Waterfront metro, Momo had some of the best friends and wings I've ever had. An American take on traditional Korean dishes, everything we ate was delicious. The Bahn Mi had incredible flavors, a perfect bun and fresh veggies. The tofu could've been crunchy and there could've been more sauce. I got the bao buns which are a classic fave of mine but they lived up with incredible texture, a perfect mix of flavors between the teriyaki sauce, veggies, and sweet, fluffy bun. The fries were stellar!! I was surprised and impressed by how crunchy they were! And the wings with the garlic soy sauce definitely came out on top!! The space is adorable with cool decor of vinyl records all along the walls and the corner bar is beautiful and unique! I went at 2pm so it was about half full and the staff were quick and kind and helpful! The menu says the wings would take 25 mins for They're made to order but look less than 10! Highly recommend!! better than most places I've been to on the Wharf even!

HA! this place charges almost $7 for a service fee on delivery. That does NOT go to a delivery driver. NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE. On top of which ....5...FIVE chicken wing drumsticks costs $18. HA!! WHAT IS THIS?

Ordered the chicken curry tonkatsu and spicy pork bbq platter and wasn't disappointed! We were seated right away, and found the team and our server Omozele attentive, prompt, and friendly. A great, cozy space too--we can't wait to try the karaoke at their other location in Dupont too!

We had a great experience here! The place is beautiful, the service was fast and friendly, and the food was delicious. I got Korean fried noodles with shrimp (forget the name and it is not on the online menu), and my partner got the spicy pork bbq platter. We also each got the featured drink. I can't remember the name of it, but it was Soju, Korean yogurt, and sprite, and it was delicious and refreshing! We both finished our entire meals!

When I entered (6:30 on a Saturday night), no one was at the front desk. I made eye contact with two servers, neither of which said anything. After waiting for a few minutes, I assumed I was supposed to seat myself. After sitting for another 5-8 minutes with the waiters ignoring me, I noticed there was a menu on the front desk and thought maybe I was supposed to order up there and then sit down. I went to the front desk and one of the waiters came a minute later and took my order. I asked if there was a beef bulgogi option by itself (not in taco form) and he said no. When I asked what the Korean BBQ platter was, he said, "That's beef bulgogi." The menu was also much more limited than what was on their website. After sitting back down at my table, a female server (who had previously ignored me) came by with a menu. I told her I already ordered at the front and she said "To go?" and I said, "No, I'm going to eat here." My order took almost 25 minutes and -surprise surprise - it came out in a to-go bag. My fault for assuming the waitress would have told the kitchen that I was eating here. The food itself was sub-par. The brown rice was severely overcooked - chewy, and gelatinous. The bulgogi flavor was good, but had WAY too much oil. Every bite, oil dripped down my chin and onto my shirt. The side vegetables were flavorless. Overall, poor service, poor food, poor experience. Will not be returning.

I had a delicious dinner with the order of pork buns and the bulgogi bibimbap !! The buns were stuffed with a hearty helping of pork that was seasoned well. They also come with salad on the side, with a tasty dressing. The bibimbap portions are generous. With a lot of rice and ingredients (fried egg, with still a bit runny yolk, lettuce, carrots, mushrooms, beansprouts, cucumbers) the dish made me super full and happy. I recommend ordering asian food here!!

Was around the area and had a craving for Korean food. Went inside and the decoration and staff were very nice and welcoming! The waitress pet is know that if we ordered the chicken it will take about 25 minutes. It was fine for me and my friend since we were catching up after a long time and needed a nice place to talk. We ordered the bulgogi bibimbap, pork buns, and the half and half wings and drumsticks (soy garlic and hot and spicy). The wings were amazing! It was nice and crispy on the outside and juicy in the inside. The wings were a good size for the price you pay for as well! I love when restaurants add the pickled radishes with the chicken to keep it refreshing. The beef bulgogi bibimbap was nothing out of the ordinary. It was good, but definitely something you could get at most korean restaurants. For about $15-$16 I might not want to order this again since there wasn't an aspect that extremely stood out to me. Nevertheless, if I wanted a rice bowl here it would be good. Could definitely tell that this place specializes in fried chicken over their other dishes. The pork buns tasted good! We ordered it as an appetizer, so it was a great start to the meal. If you've have Chinese BBQ pork before, it gave that similar taste buy inside of a bun. For about $11-$12, I personally might not order it often, but if this is something you do not have much access to getting around your area, I recommend you try! The waitress here was extremely nice and welcoming. You could tell they were understaffed, but she made her way around to try to ask if we needed anything. Overall was a great experience and I would come again.

I came here with a group of friends on a Sunday night, and I discovered that this place definitely gets its wings and legs from a supplier raising massive chickens. These are some of the largest wings and legs that I've ever eaten, and the flavor definitely matched the size. We ordered all soy garlic wings, and they all came out super crispy, sweet and salty, and just overall everything you want out of Korean fried chicken.

Service was fine, Ambiance was ok. Food was below average. The beef bulgogi was dry, lacked flavor and chewed like a sponge. Salad was pretty meh. They also charged a 20% tip on a party of 4. We didn't leave happy.

Food was great. Be aware the Korean chicken takes 35mins after ordering. The staff and service here was really awful. Based on my experience there I will not be going back.

It baffles me that this place isn't packed from wall to wall every single day. Maybe it's the location. Parking is admittedly more difficult in the area. Thankfully for you, they deliver! Nevertheless, this is the best chicken (of any type) that I can ever remember having. Consistently! You be the judge. The dumplings are delicious. The ramen is very good. The fried rice is excellent. The place is always clean. The staff is so nice, and accommodating. I get the wings at least a few times a month. If you order online through Clover you get the fries for free with orders over $30 (and you will). As a heads up, this isn't a fast food joint. You won't get your food in five or ten minutes, if that's what you're expecting. This is a real restaurant that specializes in chicken. They are fairly pricey, but I often find that you get what you pay for. Treat yourself. If I leave this neighborhood, I'll still come back for this.

The only thing Korean about this place is the name Korean. I ordered grill Korean BBQ beef platter or I thought. The came out and the beef did not look grill or BBQ and it was Luke warm at best. I think they overdid it on the BBQ chicken wings from the guy that had like half of his wings left over, think he had no more than half a dozen wings...wings must be that bad to be able to finish them . This place try to advertise as Korean, but atleast try to put up a better effort, the only customers here would be the American folks who doesn't know what authentic Korean food is besides these wannabes knocks in NAVY yard, also if you go into a Korean restaurant and it's workers are not Koreans it's a red flag there lol.

I always used to see this place on Yelp but never visited until recently. While I've found that most Korean restaurants inside the District are more Asian Fusion than Korean, Momo is a welcome exception to that rule. I ordered bulgogi bibimbap over the phone and it was ready when I arrived. The bibimbap tasted like...bibimbap in Korea! I added my own gochujang/spicy red pepper paste because I keep it in the cabinet, but I was really satisfied with the dish. Some places give you bibimbap with veggies & things you wouldn't normally find in the dish, but Momo kept it mostly pretty traditional. Too bad you can't have a dolsot/stone bowl with a takeout order because that's my favorite part. Looking forward to coming back and trying the chicken!
