Taj M.

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 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.

Beef bulgogi taco
Beatriz S.

Amazing food and staff. Everything was fresh and the wings are made to order. We enjoyed the happy hour special with wings and beer as well as the tacos. They were great, would order again.

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.

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 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

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!

Food

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.

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.

The tteokbokki came with additional vegetables and mushrooms, and their banchan were quite good. The mandu was meaty which I appreciated too. I wouldn't come back because I didn't feel the value was quite there (very pricey) but it was still an enjoyable meal overall. The ambiance was nothing special, and I do wish the bathroom had been cleaner.

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.

The restaurant has a…read morenice ambiance, and they were playing a bunch of 2010s hits this evening (which was a fun throwback). 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.

We had such a fun time at K Live Karaoke at The Wharf!…read more We booked one of the small rooms, which is supposed to accommodate up to 10 people. There were six of us, and I'd say that was the perfect number to be comfortable. You could fit 10, but it would definitely be a little cramped. We ordered several different food items and drinks, and everything I had was good. The food did take a while to come out after we ordered, but honestly, we were having so much fun singing and enjoying ourselves that it didn't bother us too much. My only other small complaint was the song-search keyboard. Instead of a standard QWERTY keyboard, the letters are arranged alphabetically, which made searching for songs a little challenging at first. That said, there were PLENTY of songs to choose from across all different genres, so everyone was able to find something they wanted to sing. The best indication of how much fun we had? We ended up extending our time because nobody was ready to leave! Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend K Live Karaoke for a fun night out with friends. I'd absolutely go back!

The server was great with explaining everything and checking up on everyone. I do wish the 2 hours started at the time of check in because we checked in within the 15 minute grace period, which cut our time off a little short.

It was a very rainy and chilly fall day and all I wanted was something warm and cozy for lunch…read more I'd walked by Onggi a million times, but never checked it out. I remembered a review in the WaPo when it opened said that Onggi had a spa like atmosphere -- I was in! Onggi provided the exact amount of cozy I was looking for, the pink salt slab seat was heated (I'll be back in January!). The lunch menu has several options, but it appeared everyone in the dining room had the lunch combo for $38. I was craving soup, so I got the short rib soup, but my dining partner got the combo. Both were large portions served with rice, and given the neighborhood, I felt they were worth the price. If you use inKind they are currently listed there. Onggi is a great neighborhood Korean restaurant for when you want something slightly more upscale. I'll return!

However, dinner caused me some issues: I got glutened. My partner and I went for my birthday dinner. I had been wanting to try Onggi because I love Korean food and their menu says that it's been crafted to avoid gluten. They say that only the asterisked dishes are not gluten free. But I got glutened. Even though we didn't order anything asterisked and I let the server know that I have celiac. My partner has been trying to reach the manager to find out what had gluten in it. But even with multiple calls, he can't reach them. (Not a good sign.) We wanted to be able to say in the review which dish had hidden gluten, but since we can't have a conversation with anyone there, all I can say is stay away. If you do try it- and I understand why you'd want to- avoid the vegan bulgogi. I just have a sneaking suspicion that's what did me in. But the menu said it was gluten free, so--?? Also, go sometime when they aren't too busy. We were there on a Saturday night and I think they might have only had two servers on (with multiple table support staff). There was at least one large party, plus the regular tables, and two servers were not enough. It was very difficult to flag someone down and double check our meals or ask our server anything after they started to get busy.
