All that was left of the soup dumplings
Sean W.

It took way too long for us to sit down and try this place. Unfortunately (or rather fortunately?) there are just too many places here in Milwaukee for a newbie to try. Had a bad day yesterday so today... Noodles! Not much can cure a case of the blues like a hot pile of steaming noodles. Ok, maybe some soup dumplings can top the noodles. On our way out to Seven Bridges for a quick walk outside, we stopped in here and fell in love. The 5 spice old fashioned and the apricot whisky sour were both phenomenal in their own unique ways. Then came the soup dumplings. Yum! Steaming hot and a project to eat properly, they are worth the efforts. We ordered the Tom Yum and spicy Korean noodles. The spice on the noodles was mild but it does build on your palette the longer that you eat. The beef was perfectly tender. The soup was wonderfully lemon-grassy and full of flavor. The ladies that sat next to us just ordered a table full of dumplings. I think that's my plan for next time. May it be soon.

This visit we enjoyed their signature Xiao Long Bao (Shanghai Soup Dumplings), Szechuan Spicy Wontons, and Yãn Su Ji (Taiwanese Salt and Pepper Chicken), and each had a Sake Flight. While the Xiao Long Bao is quite good, it is not great principally because the dumpling wrappers are twice as thick as the best versions of this dish making them chewier and very doughy. They are also so large you cannot enjoy them in a single bite and inevitably need a small bowl for leakage as you're eating them because you will make such a mess. Naturally, you want the ball so you can drink the broth that ends up in it. The Szechuan Spicy Wontons have a wonderful seasoning and sauce, but frequently are overcooked so the wrappers are a little too soft and mushy. I prefer them slightly al dente. The Salt and Pepper Chicken is consistently the best executed dish I've had there. Also known as Taiwanese, popcorn chicken, these bite-size lean pieces of chicken are perfectly fried and satisfying crispy. We were both surprised with how much we liked each sampling in our Sake Flight -- $12 (5oz) they went from dry to sweet as you would expect, and our biggest surprise was how much we liked the sweetest variety. Here are the three that were a part of our flight Kenbishi Kuromatsu, Gekkeikan Traditional, & Moonstone Coconut Lemongrass Nigori. An additional note, the service is generally exceptional, but the hostess stand tends to treat you as a customer to be processed not a guest to be welcomed. The interior is very basic. The tables are comfortably spaced by distance, but the bench seating is too crowded. Getting up to use the restroom feels like you're on an airplane where you're uncomfortably close to other diners. Menu details Momo Mee's Famous Xiao Long Bao $17 (Shanghai Soup Dumplings) This unique dish is filled with pork and simmered with homemade broth inside our handmade dough. Szechuan Spicy Wontons $15 Ten pieces filled with pork, ginger, onion, & Chinese green leaves. Tossed in Szechuan chili ail peppercom sauce Yãn Su Ji (Taiwanese Salt and Pepper Chicken) $25 Lightly coated chicken thigh meat deep fried to perfection, topped with roasted garlic, and fried yellow & green onions, spicy. Serve with sauteed bok choi Sake Flight -- $12 (5oz) Kenbishi Kuromatsu, Gekkeikan Traditional, & Moonstone Coconut Lemongrass Nigori.

Amazing food, but what stood out most was how they handled my son's shellfish allergy. Finding an Asian restaurant that can safely accommodate this allergy is incredibly rare, and they went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. Everything we ordered from the dumplings to the noodle and rice dishes was delicious. Reservations online are recommended as it id very busy. We'll definitely be back!

Shiitake ramen - with tofu
Shefalika A.

Getting a reservation at this restaurant on a weekend is almost impossible but if you are flexible with timing (go for an early dinner), I would highly recommend this place for ramen. One of the best places in Milwaukee for all including vegetarians! The chili oil on the side can add a kick to the meal. My picky son loved his Korean spicy noodles while the rest of us enjoyed the ramen bowls. The soup dumplings (I didn't get a photo of it) is also highly recommended!

Can't believe this place doesn't have 5 stars across the board. The food is so delicious & the service is incredible. The photos speak for themselves, yum!!

Korean Spicy Noodles with Chicken

You heard it here first folks, Momo Mee has the best crispy orange beef in Milwaukee!! Holy crunch, holy sauce, holy delicious! I will be craving that for the next 10-15 business days. First time having soup dumplings and wow were the tasty!! I liked them more than David but that's only because he doesn't like working for his food. I didn't mind because it was kinda fun drinking the soup first and then eating the dumpling part. My least favorite was the spicy noodles. However they were David's favorite! I think I was expecting more of a pad thai flavor, for some reason, so was a little let down by it. However, that's on me and they were still delicious! Just personally wouldn't order again. Beware the inside is pretty small/tight and always busy! But the service was great and our food came pretty quick! We sat at the bar which is always fun.

We LOVE MoMo Mee. It is definitely one of our favorite places for a date-night dinner in Milwaukee. If you go to MoMo Mee, come hungry because you do not want to miss anything: appetizers, drinks, entrees, and desserts! We've had many appetizers and our favorite is the Xiao Bao Buns. The soup dumplings are so decadent and flavorful. We 10/10 highly recommend! I've had many drinks and they are all great! Tonight I had the MO Fashioned and it was a scrumptious take on an Old Fashioned! Not too sweet or too dry. Just right! They have a great beer, wine, and cocktail list. We've had so many entrees and there is not a bad meal in the bunch. Some of our favorites include the Mongolian beef, kimchi beef fried rice in stone pot, Korean spicy noodles, and spicy orange beef. Yum! Prices are very reasonable for the portion sizes and quality. The staff are all warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. The space is clean and inviting. I highly recommend getting a reservation in advance. Since they are SO DELICIOUS, it is a popular place. Having a reservation ensures a shorter wait time. MoMo Mee has our hearts' and stomachs' devotion. If you've never been, we recommend you go asap!

Cheese Momo

If you come to momo me definitely have a reservation if you can or you may be waiting. I expected it to be bigger on the inside but it's actually quite small. The drinks were great but I got a passion margarita and it was perfect. For appetizers we got the Cheese momo and the Thai chili sauce was fantastic. We also got the potstickers which was stuffed with more of a pork sausage type of meat. It was not exactly what I expected and would have enjoyed the meat if it was minced. For dinner I got the crispy orange beef and the texture was fantastic. But it was not spicy at all. It had a pepper on the menu next to it to indicate spicy and it was not that. It was very good but a little too sweet to eat in one sitting. I also got the MoMo Mee's Famous Xiao Long Bao and it was nice and hot. It tasted like a normal dumpling but still good. Overall great service.

I went back and tried the Japchae for lunch, so tasty I emptied the plate and no leftovers. Service was good, reasonable time to get the food. Nice vibe!

Korean Spicy Noodles
Aditi M.

I love Momo Mee! It is one of my favorite Asian restaurants in the city as there are options spanning Chinese, Korean, and Japanese cuisines. You can usually walk in and get seated within 10-30 minutes. The ambiance inside the restaurant is also quite nice. I always get their Korean Spicy Noodles which always tastes delicious. The restaurant also provides a good portion size so the food always lasts for an extra meal. Overall this is a great choice if you are craving for Asian bites.

This place is always packed which was a good sign. We went here twice. I would recommend the dumplings but other than that, the food was really underwhelming. Tried their special noodle dish and it was not worth the price. It's good for a larger group to hangout because of the ambiance of homely feel but I wouldn't recommend for the food as much.

Ambiance: casual place with plenty of seating offered Service: good service - nothing to complain about! they were super quick here Food: we got a few different dishes here. We got the pork belly bao buns, Singaporean noodles, xiao long bao dumplings, shao mai, and bun cha gio. I wasn't really a fan of both dumplings - the shao mai was salty & the wrap on the xiao long bao was thick. Once the xiao long bao cooled off, it was salty too. We got the pork belly bao bun and the meat was dry. If the meat wasn't so dry, I would've enjoyed this more cause the flavors were good. The only thing I truly enjoyed was the Singaporean noodles. I would get this again! The bun cha gio was also good.

Pork soup dumpling

Whenever in the city, we open Yelp and find something new. We stopped here Friday just before 5 it was busy, and with no reservation, we sat at the bar. Not pictured was the thai tea and it was wonderful. Mo was a delightful bartender. Both meats were incredibly tender. And if you are new to soup dumplings, ask your server for a tutorial-very helpful.

Rice is gluten free. Rice noodles are gluten free. There isn't likely to be any contamination if you call ahead of time and explain that you have Celiac's and you have to be treated carefully to prevent wheat contamination. Fad diet? doesn't matte

First time here. It's a historic building on the south end of Bay View. A big old white building…read more(previously called the White House) with a small parking lot on the south side. We had reservations at 6:00 on a Saturday night. (It was cold, a little drizzly, and windy out.) The front entrance has several steep steps, and when you walk through, you are literally at the host station. They were going to seat us right behind the host station, but we knew it was going to be a problem as people went in and out. We asked to be seated a little farther from the door, and after a bit of discussion (it sounded like this was going to be a little issue), they were able to find a table for two in the parlor. So glad! Got settled in right away with menus and waters. Our server did a good job of getting us up to speed on the menu, the service, and the cocktails. They did a very good job throughout the evening (thanks, Roberto). We settled on the Window Seat (Beef Tallow and Rosemary Washed Vodka, crazy but true) and the Night Clubbing (with espresso-infused Campari). Both were very good choices. We decided that we wanted to start with three dishes and then regroup if we needed more. These included the Bok Choy Salad, Cumin and Cinnamon Braised Pork Shoulder, and Venison Tartare (Dijon Ice Cream?). The Bok Choy Salad was a real surprise, with the entire collection being so bright and flavorful. The dates had a meaty quality. The dressing with Nuoc Cham was savory with just a bit of heat. We both decided that we could have made an entire meal of that. The Pork Shoulder came next and was a good portion, with the meat tender and flavorful. The Quinoa Polenta was interesting, but I can't say that it was something I would seek out. I have had Beef Tartare before, but this was a first for Venison Tartare, so of course I just had to order it. What struck me first was that the entire thing (not just the Dijon Ice Cream) was very cold, almost frozen. I tried a couple of bites, and it was so cold that unless you let it sit in your mouth to thaw out, it was somewhat tasteless. I spread it around the plate to thaw out, and it was a big improvement. It's a good-sized portion, and even after loading up on the three pieces of bread, there was still plenty left (maybe a couple more pieces of bread?). There were a couple of desserts that we would have loved to try, but we were full and had a performance to attend. So we will have to wait until next time. Really enjoyed our first dinner. Loved the inventiveness of the menu. The staff all seem to really care about the business and the diners. With the placement of the front door and the draftiness of the dining room, we will likely book our next dinner when the weather turns warmer.

What a gem of a place located in a street corner in a historic house in Bayviee. This place had a…read morecozy but spacious feel. They were festive with Halloween decorations and had a gothic feel. I tried the lamb jerk dumplings and tofu. Highly recommend. They both had unique flavors especially the lamb. The tofu had a nice crispy texture to it with the soy based sauce glazed over it with scallions. I also tried a mocktail version of La Pucelle, it wasn't explicitly listed in the mocktails section so you can order a mocktail version of some the alcoholic cocktails. For dessert I tried the Panna Cotta, it was my first time ever trying it and tho go get it was really good. It had a pomegranate sorbet scoop on top sprinkled with frankincense laid on a bed of shaved ice with the creamy base at the bottom of the bowl. It was refreshing! The waiter was very helpful, he explained how they served food and drinks and when I asked about I n residents for the dessert he was able to describe them in detail.
