    Sesame Shiitake Tofu Poke Bowl
    Tess C.

    I've walked by Momen Tea several times and always assumed it was just a bubble tea shop before seeing their Poke bowl come up on MealPal. I ordered the tofu shiitake poke bowl and it was HUGE. A very hefty portion filled to the brim with rice and super fresh toppings. I really liked it, everything was flavorful and even the avocado was ripe (which can be rare). Only part I didn't love was the tofu. It was a little soggy and cold, with a sort of weird un-tofu like taste. Would recommend for a grab and go lunch! Not must seating inside, but no line at prime lunch time on a Wednesday. Service was fast and the man checking me out was courteous and helpful.

    So so good. I haven't had a poke bowl this satisfying in a while. Everything tasted fresh and the portions were perfect. The service was quick. This was a very satisfying quick and easy meal on the go.

    Surprisingly pretty good Poke. Was not expecting it out of a random find but quality food. Would definitely come back again

    Momentea Kitchen has been open since 2018, and I'm so happy to have them for all my teenagers. I'm also very glad they were able to reopen after the old building collapse. They've now moved to 206 W 14th St, and we're excited to keep supporting them!

    I've been eating at MomenTea since 2018 at their first location, right by the subway corner. I've always loved their food and friendly service. I'm so happy and proud to see them reopen after the old building collapsed. I will continue to support them forever!

    Chili Oil Wontons

    TLDR - this place is great for the area which is lacking asian fare, and is ambitious with its large menu of authentic asian items, but you can probably find better versions of each of their items elsewhere. If you work in the area this is a great spot to check out. YUZU CITRUS SALMON POKE BOWL Not bad - I'm not sure they use sushi rice for this but it was nice, citrusy, sweet from the mango and the fish quality they use isn't bad at all. Pretty good flavors for a quick poke but nothing super authentic or dedicated to poke. GALAXY YOGURT DRINK This I actually really liked, their bubble tea is pretty on par for other bubble tea spots and they have cool interesting flavor combos so take advantage of that. The butterfly pea was nice and subtle and the yakult was that nice sweet tangy flavor that you know and love. TAIWANESE FRIED CHICKEN - a little dry, not super basily tasting and kinda small pieces (frittery) but enjoyable. Comes with spicy mayo. CHILI OIL WONTONS They do kind of a solid job with this, nicely decorated, the heat doesn't pack too big of a punch (get extra if you need) and it's definitely from a bag of frozen wontons but it comes out kind tasty especially with the chili oil and the filling amount isn't bad. Black sesame seeds on top are a nice touch. I'm really glad this area is providing a much needed asian food presence in Greenwich Village.

    Thai Thai Milk Tea
    Hernan K.

    Visiting from California. Came here cuz it was recommended on Yelp. Ordered large Thai tea for $7 and there was barely any drink in there. I couldn't even punch my straw in because there was so much ice from top to bottom. I went back to complain but they said to ask for less ice next time and wouldn't make me a new one. The thing is I never asked for large ice cubes and how was I suppose to know they were going to do this to me. The amount of drink in there was not even a large or regular. Probably not even a small either. Other than that the drink tasted good. So one extra star for that.

    Thai Milk Tea and milk tea with boba! Boba was just okay, not the chewiest.
    Annie B.

    Came here for late night boba, and it didn't disappoint! The boba balls weren't the chewiest, but the drinks were very yummy. You can order ahead using the kiosk, and the drinks came out quickly. They also have many other options like poke bowls! Overall, pretty good boba and a cute restaurant with plenty of indoor seating!

    This is definitely my daily restaurant. Great value and friendly staff. The sushi is always fresh made. I came frequently in summer for bobas too

    Moment special
    Jonghan L.

    Love the cute concept that MomenTea is going for here! Nestled right by the 14th street 1 train subway entrance, Momentea serves both boba, sushi, sushiritto, poke bowls, and a ton of different fruity flavored drinks. Was thinking for a casual spot for date night, and boy Momentea was right smack on my radar. Came here at 630pm on a Thursday night, restaurant wasn't too packed and we had prior reservations for the night. We ordered the following: Hawaiian special, moment special, a large matcha latte cheese foam, and I got the galaxy yogurt drink. AMBIANCE: As I mentioned previously, Momentea is a casual shop that happens to sell an assortment of fruity drinks, boba, and pokes. Store front isn't too big, but there are a few tables for one to sit down and eat. PROS: Love how fresh the food came out! For the moment special, I got mine on a bed of salad - salad was fresh, zesty, tangy, and the toppings that go on top really compliment the overall texture of the bowl. I really liked the spicy mayo that it came with, and the house vinegarette and soy sauce pairs really well with the fish in the bowl. She enjoyed her Hawaiian special and complimented how refreshing it is to eat. The drinks were spectacularly made. The matcha cheese foam tea was fantastic. Matcha flavor wasn't too overpowering, the milk and foam wasn't too chalky. I do wish though next time they don't mix in the foam, since some people would prefer drinking the tea and the cheese foam separately, but that's just a minor issue. The galaxy yogurt drink I got was spectacular as well! I loved how it sat on a bed of mango jelly, and the colors really give off a warm and welcoming vibe. You can also do full customization of the drinks in terms of sugar and sweetness level, as expected for any major boba player here. Last but not least the owner Katrina swung by and introduced the concept of the restaurant to us. She's such a sweet person, and shout outs to you for making our experience last night incredible! Looking forward to great things with your new restaurant businesses! OVERALL: Loved the concept, food, and drinks at Momentea. Its a pity that we didn't get to try everything else on the menu, but hey that's what a visit in the future is necessary for!

    Hey that's like me on the left and your boyfriend on the right!

    Let me tell you all about a place that's FRIENDLY So much so that if I was on facebook they'd FRIEND ME If I got attacked on Yelp Talk they'd DEFEND ME That's why I love getting Boba at MOMENTEA Before I tried boba here my life felt EMPTY So did my tummy even though I'd eaten PLENTY Hated Starbucks, even their Mocha Frappe VENTI But then my life changed when I came and tried MOMENTEA Got a job as a guard, official title SENTRY Rubbed shoulders with the rich, Baronesses and the GENTRY Stopped letting men do me for $ ("my butt's NO ENTRY!") All of this because I got Boba at MOMENTEA Now I'm gonna open all the fan mail that you SENT ME And throw out all the hate mail from the haters who RESENT ME Ignore all the gross requests from men who used to RENT ME Instead I will go and get more boba from MOMENTEA WHAT My notes said: Momentea.. Boo fruit, yay milk yum changed 50, very friendly both times, poke and honey lemon black next time. I'm as in the dark as you are about these notes, but I think it meant I hated the fruit green tea they persuaded me to get (but I hate most green teas), but loved the milk tea and that they changed a $50 for me and were very friendly. They sell Poke, which I haven't tried, and I did go back twice after this and got more great milk teas and amazing Lemon Black tea. Definitely one of my favourite bubble tea shops in New York City and I can't wait to come back to try some other fruity black teas. The first time they insisted that I try their fresh fruit drink and it's made with green tea and I didn't like it at all. Luckily I gave them another chance and I picked what I actually wanted which was to try their regular black milk tea which is absolutely spectacular and creamy and perfect and up there with the best boba in town such as Yi Fang, Moge, Mi Tea and Boba Guys. So I will definitely be back and I'm looking forward to it. A special mention to them because they are so incredibly friendly and they also changed a $50 bill for me which most people in lower Manhattan will absolutely not do. Parking is a nightmare here but I love it and will be bringing Barbie here at her earliest convenience. And she is pretty convenient in terms of, she's a nympho and I'm, well, you know. And my cats love it here too. Oh wait that's Meowmentea.

    Dan L.

    Although this place has Tea in the name and has a lot of great drinks, it's probably also the best Poke place in the neighborhood. They're very generous with the poke, the fish tastes fresh, and the prices are reasonable. There's not much seating, but if you don't mind eating outside, you can walk two short blocks down to the park at 12 St. and 7th Ave. or one short block down and one long block west to Jackson Square.

The atmosphere here was a bit more lively and crowded compared to the more relaxed vibe of the UWS spot. I enjoyed my meal even more this time around. I started with the beet salad, which was delicious and offered great value given the generous portion size. it featured sliced beets, arugula, goat cheese, and walnuts. I also had my eye on the hijiki soybean salad--which is a bit smaller and reportedly homemade--so I may try that next time, along with the warm mushroom salad which looked very tasty. The edamame was standard but served as a nice starter. For my main rolls, I chose the salmon avocado and the yellowtail scallion. Both were very fresh and definitely worth ordering again. The salmon avocado roll had a nice touch of sesame seeds on the rice, while the yellowtail scallion was prepared with the seaweed on the outside.
