    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Pork Buns
    Claire K.

    A disappointment :( My mom ordered the Pork Katsu with Curry and she didn't like it, the Bulgogi plate was alright, luckily I did like my Spicy Pork Buns. HOWEVER- We ordered soy garlic chicken breast in their smallest quantity and it never got delivered to us. All of our food came except that and we waited for like 20 minutes for the food. We wanted to cancel because we were done and full already, but the waiter said we can't do that because it's being made. Then 5 mins later I see the waiter deliver FOUR trays of chicken to another table who came at a later time, and that's when we decided we're done. They were nice enough to remove the chicken from our check, saying it takes long because it's deep fried... The waiters didn't really check up on us and I had to keep calling for them, and the place was not that busy. TLDR, I'd say just skip this place.

    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.

    Spicy Miso Ramen
    Chay L.

    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.

    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.

    Spicy Pork Bibimbap
    Jose R.

    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!

I visited on a Friday around 6:30 PM and sat at the bar to catch the end of happy hour (Mon-Sun 5-7 PM). The bar was empty at the time, but a few other people showed up later. The dining room had a handful of tables occupied. In short, easy to get a seat. Drinks were good. I like the Somaek ($6) which is a small beer and a shot of soju. Beer ($7) was beer. We got some beef and pork mandu (dumplings) that were pretty good. 6 pieces for $10 on HH. We got two entrees, the Ddukbokgi ($28) and Yukgaejang ($29), which came with four banchan. Ddukbokgi is chewy rice cakes, gochujang, onion, and bulgogi. We thought it was only ok -- we've had better, including at Mandu in the past. Yukgaejang was a new dish for me. The menu described it as a "spicy beef stew, brisket, noodles, shiitake, bean sprouts, and egg." I expected the brisket to be sliced and recognizably brisket, but it was pulled -- it looked and tasted more like pulled pork. The dish also didn't have any noodles in it. I didn't like it. The banchan was seaweed, bean sprouts, kimchi, and cucumbers. It was okay. Service at the bar was fine.

So was the overhead music. Guess I expected a more authentic Korean experience, but the place was more or less an Americanized Korean bistro. Still, the foods seemed authentic! We ordered a few things to share... Mandu, Dolsot Bibimbap, and this Ssam Board. For drinks, my husband got some beer (?), and I got this fruity cocktail (??). First, the positives! The Mandu was really, really good...and quite meaty! The Dolsot Bibimbap was good in that it came with a generous load of fresh veggies. Now the problems. The Bulgogi in the Dolsot Bibimbap was problematic. It was a bit too fatty...and too chunky...and just hard to eat. It was also a bit bland! They should have cut it up a bit...or provided us with proper cutlery, like a fork and a knife! This is a pet peeve of mine...but nowadays, hardly any restaurant gives you the full set of cutlery. Just fork, or just chopsticks!! Then the Ssam Board. While it looked luscious, I personally had a problem with the meat. While I love Galbi, cuts of Galbi was all-out rare. The waiter didn't even ask for our preference, by the way. If I knew it'd be prepared that red, I would have ordered something else. If it was medium-rare, for instance, I might have liked this dish. My husband prefers a much more rare cut of meat than me, yet even he thought this was too red. Also, I expected something more than raddish for sides. Not sure if this "Board" was worth $42. We also tried this Black Sesame Ice Cream dessert. I loved the flavor...but nothing too special. Service was a bit off as well. While friendly at our table, our waiter wasn't too attentive...especially in the beginning. If he stopped by our table earlier, I might have gotten them to bring back the Ssam Board to cook the meat a bit more. Frankly, I was underwhelmed with the foods, the presentation, even the service. Overall, there were just too many things amiss (or just underwhelming??)...so much so that I doubt I'll pick this place again.

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!

The database is hard to navigate and a great deal of the songs don't come with lyrics so that was a bummer. Also they don't display the song when you're singing, sometimes it would be random figures on the screen so that was different. My friend ordered skewers, wings and fries and that was fairly solid so I don't have much input there. The bathroom was disgusting. Water leaking all over the floor and trash cans overflowing.

I was a little wary of coming here based on a past Bonchon experience elsewhere and based off of some reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised with the experience here. The only one star deduction is that the tables felt perpetually sticky and that's never a great feeling. Other than that, the service was super prompt, the ambiance was fun since we came on trivia night (we didn't want to play), and the food exceeded expectations. If you're not into having a loud lively environment, I'd advise against coming when their trivia nights are (when I went, it was on a Tuesday evening). The sides we ordered were kimchi and street corn. The street corn tasted a bit more on the Mexican side than the Korean side - MexiKorean fusion I suppose? I'm also not quite seeing it on the menu anymore... The kimchi was very standard. What exceeded expectations was how fresh the chicken was, and how perfectly crispy and saucy the fried chicken was prepared. We opted for half soy garlic and half spicy drumsticks and wings. The spicy was a little more spicy than I expected it to be, and the soy garlic was as expected: savory, sweet, and salty. The pickled radish is always a nice palate cleanser! If you're craving Korean fried chicken and you're in the Navy Yard area, I'd give Bonchon a try as a dine-in customer. I can't really speak much to takeout as that's a whole different experience.
