Roach in the food! The "dim sum" was really frozen dumpling. The first one I ate was ice cold so I decided to touch the rest to see if the same was true....then I see this.

Chicken Sandwich with Fries
Joe R.

We sat at the bar due to not having a reservation. That was the best thing that could have happened. The bartender was out-freaking-standing. Omozelle had great food recommendations that were on point. I got a cold Kirin beer, chicken sandwich with the spicy sauce with fries. The chicken sandwich was one of the best chicken sandwiches I have had in a long time. I do wish it was spicier but I'd eat it again. The piece of chicken was a great size. The Mrs ordered the salad and some sweet and fire shrimp. The house dressings were great and the shrimp were plump. The bartender checked up on us as needed and seemed genuine when she asked about each item we had discussed. Momo would be a regular place for us if we lived here, not only because of good food, but Omozelle really cares about the patrons and adds positivity to the ambience of the restaurant.

I came to Momo Chicken and Grill for a solo lunch date and had such a lovely experience. From the moment I walked in, I felt very welcomed. The vibe inside was great and the music made the atmosphere really enjoyable while I sat back and enjoyed my meal. My server Zaid was amazing. She was very attentive, sweet, and helpful throughout my visit. She checked in at the right times and made sure everything was going well, which made the experience even better. I ended up having a big lunch and everything was very satisfying. I've also heard they're known for their wings. They can take about 20-30 minutes since they're made fresh, but people say they're absolutely worth the wait. Overall, great service, great vibe, and a perfect place to enjoy a meal even if you're dining solo. I'll definitely be back!

Came here for a meal this time. Got the Korean fried chicken and it was worth the hype! The smallest order is 10 pieces. It's juicy and crunchy. I will have meal for later. The walnuts old fashioned was good. Moth feel was a little thin, but my friends really liked the "forbidden fruit" and enjoyed it. The chicken katsu was solid. But I came for the Korean fried chicken. Our waitress Omozele was really nice. I love this place bc it's got local bar vibes! Like k said before. I will be back!

Chicken teriyaki, wings and beef bulgogi
Burcin D.

Wow, I was pleasantly surprised with this cute little Korean food gem in Navy yard! We had to try the spicy chicken wings, and the fried chicken sandwich which were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside! It is not as spicy as you think so FYI. I think the highlights for me were the beef bulgogi and the beef lo mein along with the wings. The Bulgogi is a must have. It comes in a sizzling, hot pot with crispied rice and gochujang sauce. We also tried the chicken teriyaki platter and it was very saucy. The ambiance is laid-back and they do have some refreshing cocktails. Also, the prices are really good. For example the platters are $18 and very good amount of food ! Street parking is available.

Hi! We just found this restaurant, and we're obsessed! We're so sad we're from Florida because otherwise we'd come here every day. The service was outstanding, the food was incredible, and the drinks were amazing. Everything was perfect. I'm not lying when I say this place is absolutely amazing. I highly recommend the Lo Mein and the wings--they were absolutely delicious! Even the fries were on another level. If you're thinking about trying this place, do it! We can't wait to come back.

Chicken yakisoba noodles. Iced tea and water hanging out in the background.
Debra B.

What a great place near the waterfront metro station. I didn't know what to order and settled on yakisoba noodles with chicken. There were a good variety of veggies and lots of chicken. Delicious! There are many choices with noodles and rices. Comfy booth and I didn't feel weird sitting alone. Fun music played in the background. My server was attentive and friendly. She made me a fresh iced tea.

Menu
Tara C.

Momo's was a great pick on a rainy night. The place was pretty quiet so I was a little nervous at first, but it needed up being a good choice. The soy garlic wings were great! I also had the Bibimbap which was also a good choice. Lots of chicken for the size of bowl. My favorite was the Yakisoba! It was the most flavorful!

Takoyaki
Magdalena S.

The food there is amazing and the pricing is decent! Enjoyed the takoyaki and chicken. My issue is with the service and drinks. They advertise cute cocktails on their menu but what we received was mediocre. They warn you that the chicken will take a while as it's made to order so that wasn't a problem. The problem was that they brought out my side of rice 20 minutes after the chicken! Seems like they were understaffed because that is unacceptable

French Kiss
Lily J.

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.

Spicy miso ramen
Sarah C.

Came with my sister on a Sunday evening. Servers were very nice, but you could tell they were understaffed. My sister had the bibimbap and loved it. I had the spicy miso ramen and it was decent and a very good portion. I did not realize that it did not come with meat or an egg, so that was a little disappointing.

We arrived on a Saturday evening around 7pm with our family of four (one 2 year old & 3 month old). They sat us immediately outside a wobbly table but given that we didn't have a reservation I was taking what I could get. Overall the food was decent. We ordered the lumpia, short ribs, muscles and garlic noodles. Lumpia was well fried, short ribs were tasty, the bread with the muscles and broth was great. The garlic noodles were a little salty but would prob be better with a protein to balance the dish out (we ordered it for our 2 year old who doesn't really eat protein). The service was bad... Our server was so slow and overall a bad server. He kept putting hot dishes right in front of our 2 year old. He never ensured we got all our dishes so 20 minutes later when he check on us he realized that we didn't have our food. The cocktail was so bad and he wanted to give me a discount even though I had one sip and immediately sent it back. I had to ask him twice to remove it from the bill. I emphasized that we needed to leave and he still didn't bring the check over or check on us. He told us he'd bring us utensils and would take at least 10 minutes to come back and we were already done with our dish. They never refilled our water once while we were there. I'm not sure if we were just tucked away in a corner or what but overall service was bad. Don't be fooled by the Google reviews - not worth it.

The moment the banchan (Korean side dishes) arrived and we took our first bites, we knew we'd stumbled upon an outstanding Korean restaurant. Every side dish is prepared authentically and tastes fantastic. Our first main dish to come out was kimchi fried rice with beef. While it isn't made using a fully traditional Korean method, it was absolutely delicious -- easily the best kimchi fried rice I've had in the past few years. We also ordered their signature pork and potato stew. It was excellent; the chili flavour was smooth, and every ingredient was wonderfully seasoned. Our server was incredibly polite and friendly, and we were happy to leave a tip for them. We plan to come back tomorrow evening, but unfortunately, our server told us they might not be working then. This Korean restaurant is highly recommended. If you're staying nearby or travelling in Washington DC, I'd strongly suggest stopping by to enjoy their wonderful Korean food.

Fig Around and Find Out: 4/5, not too sweet, and you could really taste the prosecco Chikin: 5/5, you can't go wrong with this Anju classic! This is a perfect appetizer for four people. Our waiter provided some hand wipes so we could clean our hands off afterwards. Yukhoe: 3/5, this was sweeter than I expected, and the sugar/nuts/chili basil overpowered any beef flavor. Chadolbaegi Fried Rice: 4/5, great smoky flavor but I wish the butternut squash had been cut bigger to enjoy more with each bite. More pork also would've been nice. Kimchi Jjigae: 5/5, we added noodles, which was a great move. This was such a delicious stew, and I loved the kimchi.

I debated whether I wanted to give this place 3 or 4 stars…read more 1. Mandu (3/5) - while it tasted good, the temperature was lukewarm which was disappointing. 2. Half chikin (4/5) - why do they call it chikin? It made me think it wasn't real chicken like what veggie grill calls their fake chicken. Anyway, it was messy but it was crispy and hot - it was fine. I've had better. 3. Lobster steamed egg (1/5) - the lobster was rubbery and I'm not a big fan of mixing sweet and savory together and for me, the sweet peppers ruined the entire dish. For me, the dish as a whole was less than the sum of its parts. 4. Ssam (5/5) - this dish saved the rest of the meal. The meat was tender the pear was nice and refreshing but to be honest, I consider this hard to mess up as long as the meat is good. My wife said that she wishes we just ordered two of these and nothing else lol. 5. Drinks (non-alcoholic - one was yakult and the other I think was passionfruit) - my wife really enjoyed both drinks so I guess I'll round up the review to 4 stars. If I lived in DC, I would probably go back here but since we're from out of state and visit DC once a year for work, we probably wouldn't come back here.

For $45 per person, the all-you-can-eat experience feels like a really solid deal considering how many protein options and side dishes you get. They start you off with a variety of banchan (side dishes), including a salad with this super tasty dressing that had the perfect little spicy kick. For the BBQ, we kicked things off with the spicy bulgogi and butter garlic shrimp, while the others tried the pork belly (I don't eat pork). Later we ordered the steak, spicy brisket, and grilled squid, which were all delicious. The spicy brisket especially was a standout for me. The guys also ordered two rounds of fried dumplings that looked amazing, but since they contain pork, I had to sit those out. I'd love to see Chadol add a veggie dumpling option to the menu! As for the sides, the kimchi and cold glass noodles were both hits at our table, and of course we all added white rice. The "mashed potatoes" though? Definitely more like potato salad and unfortunately very bland. On the other hand, the cheese corn costs extra but is 1000% worth adding. For drinks, the guys enjoyed the Woody Old Fashioned while I had a mezcal margarita-style cocktail that was smoky and refreshing. We also ordered one of the chicken options but never received it and eventually just gave up on it. One of the coolest parts of the experience is the ordering system. Most meats are ordered directly from a machine at your table, and the food comes out quickly on this conveyor belt-style setup which was honestly so fun. Drinks and side dishes are ordered through the servers. The atmosphere was lively and energetic without feeling overwhelming. The restaurant is actually much larger inside than I expected, with a modern setup that works well for smaller groups. That said, I didn't really notice tables for larger parties, so I'm not sure how they accommodate groups bigger than 6 people. Service started off a little rough because our server wasn't very attentive, but after I called it out, he definitely stepped it up and things improved. Overall, Chadol was a really good experience and absolutely worth the price. The 1.5-hour seating limit makes sense too, both to keep things moving and give others a chance to enjoy the experience. I'd definitely go back!

They make for a great appetizer to share with a group of 2-4 people or a perfect small meal if you're not looking for something heavy. Highly recommend giving them a try. Espresso Express - This is an interesting and creative take on an espresso martini. Instead of vodka, they use reposado tequila, which adds a richer and more complex flavor profile. The result is an outstanding cocktail and probably one of the top five espresso-based drinks I've ever had. Without question, this was the highlight of the meal for me. Busy - We arrived around 6:00 PM on a Saturday night during the summer and were pleasantly surprised to walk in and find seating for our group of eight. The restaurant was bustling with people coming and going throughout the evening, but the space is much larger than it appears from the outside, allowing it to handle the crowd well. Pro Tip: If you're on a date or hoping for an easier conversation, ask for seating in the side dining area. It is noticeably quieter than the main dining room and outdoor seating areas. Pro Tip: Don't judge the size of the restaurant from the exterior. The inside is surprisingly spacious and can accommodate larger groups better than you might expect.
