Located at a new location in FiDi, MOMO is the place to go if you're tired of salads, sandwiches, and are looking for a lunch spot with flavor. With a simple menu, MOMO features classic Chinese bàn miàn, or mixed noodles. Each item focuses on chewy noodles coated in a savory chili oil and Sichuan peppercorns which provides the classic Sichuan numbing feeling to the tongue. The two best dishes are the 1) Momo Spicy Noodles which includes noodles topped with spicy pork and 2) Popo Noodles which highlights flavorful, slow-cooked pork belly. FiDi is not know for having a lot of great, affordable, and tasty lunch options, with suggestions often being inundated with salad chains, burgers, and various mixed bowls. If you're looking for something different that will leave you satisfied, MOMO is a must-try.

I came back because I remember how good these noodles were when I was here 10 months ago. I ordered the same thing - Popo's Noodles with Spicy Pork - but it didn't taste the same. :( It was still good but the flavor was different. I didn't like it. It was more spicy than sesame/peanutty. I don't know if maybe the wrong order was made. My family ordered: Momo Spicy Noodles with Pork - My husband loved it. Popo's Noodles with House Tofu - Light flavor, good noodles. The tofu was nice and fragrant. Hot & Sour Rice Noodles - my son loved it. The kiosk was confusing. If you order 1 item, you can customize. If you order multiple noodles, you can't customize. It was frustrating. Thankfully the person who was working there said he'd take our order because it would be easier to customize it from his end. Food came out timely.

I have been obsessed with Momo since I worked at 345 Cal and they were posted on California street on Wednesday's (if I'm remembering it correctly). Since I came back to work December 2021, I have been an avid stalker of Momo trying to locate them either on California, at Salesforce, food festivals, or the rare times I'm at Spark Social. The craving was real today and I did the 15 minute walk to Saluhall dining hall which is connected to IKEA/next to IKEA and located on the second floor. In typical Momo fashion, you order on the kiosk and simply just wait for your order. I got my order to go and the bowl always looks tiny, but it's super fulfilling. Definitely give it a mix before you eat it. I do wish that lids are given with the to go bowls instead of foil but I guess it wouldn't make a difference since the sauce do leak through these compostable bowls. I ordered the Momo spicy noodles with pork, and although it was fulfilling, it wasn't spicy at all, not even a little kick. Definitely will be making this trek again during my next craving.

We ordered with the worker and was given a paper ticket. I saw some of the other stalls using pagers instead so make sure to circle back or stay nearby to get your food when it is done. I got the momo noodles $12 + pork $4 and ate it in the food court. The noodles were good but they weren't addictive. I ate until I was full but I didn't find myself diving in after I was full or wishing that I had more space in my stomach. My friend really enjoyed the noodles. The food court is very casual but the lighting makes it a little more intimate. There are many types of seating options all over the first and 2nd floor. Great lighting for conversations.

Service: Counter Service in Saluhall. Saluhall is a food court next to IKEA. It's great because your food is ready so quickly (less than ten minutes). If you are with friends, everyone can order something different. Food: I've gotten the Hot and Sour Rice Noodle and Spicy Noodle. Both with spicy pork. I definitely preferred the Hot and Sour Rice Noodle because the flat rice noodle is much yummier than the sichuan dry rice noodle (the skinny kind). Flavor wise, it's decent but not amazing. Price: It comes out to $16 with meat. It's a decent portion size, so okay price for what it is.

POPOs Noodle w/ Rice Wine Pork Belly
Young Y.

The noodles here are amazing!!! I got some rice wine pork belly one. It takes like a peanut sesame coated sauce, which is similar to some Chinese noodles I've had before. Soooo good. Creamy and savory. The pork belly was braised nicely too and both tender/flavorful. I like the lil spark social area around it too plus the lil stagecoach greens gold area next door. Prob one of my favorite food truck areas.

Kayma's no longer there

Came for Kayma's Lion mushroom steak but alas they were gone. Opted for Momo's noodles. Only one vegan option,vegan hot and sour noodles with tofu Does contain peanuts and he asked about peanut allergies when ordering, nice. Tofu soy sauce marinated and not deep fried, a plus. Mushrooms, arugula, peanuts, scallions and not overly spicy chili oil base with thick rice noodles. Enjoyable lunch.

Momo with tofu
amy T.

I ordered on the touch screen. I got my number and waited. I ordered the Momo noodles with the $4 add on tofu. It was ridiculously spicy and salty. I had two bites and couldn't eat more. $18 for this was so overpriced when a taco plate next door is $9.

Came here on a Tuesday during lunch time and tried the momo spicy noodle w/ tofu, raindrop rose, and diablo spicy beef. The noodles were pretty good and the portion size was bigger than I expected! The raindrop rose tasted good too, but it's very sweet and not worth an extra $6 in my opinion. The beef jerky flavor was okay but the texture was personally hard to enjoy (too dry and chunky). Ordering was super easy but I wish you can make customizations to your noodle dishes if you order more than one! It seems like the only way to customize is to order only one noodle dish per order :(

Spicy pork noodles

Large portion but noodles seemed a little overcooked almost crispy. The pork was good and spicy.

Rice noodle with spicy pork and cabbage and bamboo shoots
Lizzie S.

I got Momo food truck noodles last year when my old office was near the Embarcadero. I tried the Hot and sour rice noodle with tea-soaked egg was quick, easy, and delicious. I loved the egg and the noodle thickness and flavor. This year, my mom and I went to the new Ikea Food Hall. I'd never been, which is surprising as I've heard good things about the Ikea. We made the rounds and decided to have Momo. Our noodles were so customizable. My mom (also Yelp Elite lol) had the Rice noodle with spicy pork and cabbage and bamboo shoots and I ordered the MOMO Spicy Noodle ($11.95) w/ Spicy Chicken (+$4) and yellow peppers (+$1.80). Portions were good so we got boxes-to-go to take home for later.

Came here before going to AMC Metreon and didn't realize it was connected to IKEA! Good: - The food came out so fast! It's a very easy ordering experience and the staff are fast - I got the hot and spicy noodles and they weren't spicy and usually, I'm not the best with spice - The spicy pork that came with it was tasty, flavorful and added to the noodles Bad: - The place is pretty casual, no official seating, sit wherever you want so it's way more of a casual place to go to - A little expensive for the small portion size Overall, enjoyed coming here and getting a quick quality bite.

Popo's Noodles and Green Hot Sauce

Updating now that they've got a brick and mortar. Same delicious noods that I expect, but wanted to speak on a new(?) item - their Green Hot Sauce. Holy moly! Since I got the non spicy pork belly bowl, I wanted to add some oomph and picked up their hot sauce bottle as well. It added that citrusy numbing thing from the Sichuan peppercorn, backed by some immediate heat from the jalapenos, and then waves of building heat from the habaneros. Friggin fantastic! The pairing of the two dishes was a huge success, and now I can't wait to put this on everything!

Once they started calling tables, it moved really fast. When we were seated, we ended up sharing a table with two other groups of two. I actually didn't mind it at all because there was still enough space between everyone to have privacy. It also made the experience feel more social -- I ended up chatting with the people to my right and left about the food. Everything we ordered was really good. Their popular dry fried chicken absolutely lived up to the hype and was probably my favorite thing on the menu... besides the cherry pork. I feel like nobody talks about the cherry pork enough! It was SO good -- kind of like a sweet-and-sour pork without the sour. I dipped it in soy sauce because I loved the sweet and salty combo together. The dumplings were also really good. The wrapper was thin and delicious, but my boyfriend said he wished they had a little more protein filling and less leek. The green beans are always a hit. The only thing I probably wouldn't order again was the black bean sauce noodles. Maybe I just expected a different flavor, but to me they honestly tasted like regular lo mein. I'm also not a huge noodle person in general, so I'd probably skip them next time and order something else instead. Forgot to mention their prices are on point! Definitely recommend to any of the tourists. I think the weight is definitely worth it and I love being able to take home my leftovers and eating them for lunch and dinner the next day.

Don't change a thing, the spice level is perfect!…read more Sincerely, I'd like to meet the people who think Little Szechuan goes easy on the heat because to me, it's a blast of mala spice and numbing sensation- and I have a high tolerance. The Spicy Garlic Pork with vegetables was HOT and there was no escape: Like an opponent's chess pieces trying to grab your king, one bite after the next puts you in jeopardy. It was a good kind of peril. The Chow Mein Select noodles with lots of fresh crunchy vegetables was nicely executed with firm, plump chow mein. It was a very generous helping. I thanked my stars for the relief of white rice. The quart of hot and sour soup will have to wait until tomorrow, so much delicious food. For vegetarians, lots of menu options for you as well as those looking for unique dumplings and lots of offal dishes for those who crave it. Ambience is fresh, polished, non-touristy yet in the very heart of Chinatown where this is not always guaranteed. Locals and visitors alike, bookmark this restaurant.

I LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEE the dry fried chicken and the Szechuan spicy beef. The chicken is crispy, packed with flavor, and super addictive, while the spicy beef is rich, bold, and has that signature numbing kick from the Sichuan peppercorns. I usually also get the honey walnut shrimp when I want something a little sweeter to balance everything out, but if you're trying this place for the first time, you really can't go wrong with the dry fried chicken and Szechuan spicy beef. Just a heads up, it's not just spicy, it's that numbing heat, so definitely get some rice on the side.

Spicy House is quickly becoming my new favorite Chinese restaurant. My husband and I stopped in…read morearound 2:00 in the afternoon, and even at that hour the place was pleasantly busy, which felt like a good sign right away. We both ordered lunch plates. He had the black bean spicy fish with white rice, and I chose the mapo tofu with fried rice. Each lunch came with tea, a cup of hot and sour soup, and an egg roll. The soup really stood out. It wasn't just a thin broth with a few scraps floating around. It was a genuine, comforting hot and sour soup with real ingredients in every spoonful. That alone made the meal feel thoughtful and complete. The portions were satisfying and well balanced, and everything arrived hot and fresh. My husband enjoyed his fish, which had good flavor and a nice texture. The mapo tofu was exactly how I like it. The tofu held its shape, which made a big difference. I do not enjoy overly soft tofu that falls apart, and this had a firmer bite that worked really well with the sauce. The dish was clean tasting, with a steady heat that was noticeable but not overwhelming. It had spice, but it did not overpower the dish or linger too aggressively. There was no pork, which I appreciated, and it still felt complete and satisfying without it. What made this meal especially meaningful for me is that I had just gotten out of the hospital a week ago after dealing with malnutrition, dehydration, and several health issues. I had not been eating well and had lost over 80 pounds in the past year. This was the first full, nourishing meal I have truly been able to enjoy in a long time. For the first time in months, I did not feel weak or fragile afterward. I felt full, steady, and strong. That kind of experience goes beyond just good food. It felt restorative. It felt like care. From what others often say, this place has built a strong reputation for bold Sichuan flavors that are still approachable. People tend to mention the generous portions, the consistent quality, and the fact that the spice levels are flavorful rather than overwhelming. It is the kind of spot that draws both regulars and first time visitors who are looking for something reliable and satisfying. Spicy House gave me more than just a meal. They gave me a moment of comfort and strength when I really needed it. We will absolutely be back.
