MOMO Spicy Noodle w/ Spicy Pork
Bri D.

MOMO Noodle is a great place to grab a quick lunch and eat it outside or back at the office! Super tasty and clear menu. I love when a place knows what they are doing and have a limited menu! I got the spicy pork noodle bowl and it was so tasty and a good portion. That tingly spice is everything and it is flavorful, best combo! If you are in the area, this is a great quick spot (unless the line is around the corner). This is a small place with no seating, but there are plenty of spots around the block to enjoy your meal and hopefully the weather.

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
Stephen H.

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.

MOMO Spicy Noodle w/ Tofu

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
Es F.

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.

Flavor was okay but very overpriced. You can get better for less at a sit down restaurant.

Came here for a friend's birthday. I told him to pick a restaurant (we both don't live in the…read moreSunset) and he picked Szechuan Cuisine! He and his partner like to come here and I'm glad they introduced us to it. ~$100 pre-tip for 4 dishes for 4 people (plus rice) in SF in 2026? Not too shabby! We were full and very content (though we did almost tear up from the spice.) It was pretty busy on a Saturday night and they also do a pretty good takeout/delivery business. I must shoutout their dandan noodles (very peanutty and nice noodle texture) and Stir-Fried Chicken with Hot Chili and Spices(风味辣子鸡)and Spicy Fried Chinese Cabbage(炝炒莲白). The spicy chicken was the highlight. Very good crunch, flavor, and spice. Truly numbing. We devoured it. Everything was good and I will be back! I love mapo tofu and will try that next time! Service was fine. We drank so much water.

We ordered eggplant , cucumber salad , fried rice with crawfish and fried chicken wings . Pretty standard , eh? We had taken a guest who wanted to try these dishes . The cook threw in a bunch of dry chili peppers and Szechuan peppers with the same sauce and chili oil in all of the dishes , a lot of sugar in the eggplant . The fried rice was mushy and again spiked with the 'hot' sauce . Big servings but we couldn't eat it . If you are not as fussy and discerning and want quantity over quality, this is the place for you . Never again .

I have serious pros and cons to share…read more I first want to say that I have loved this restaurant for years. It's been a go to Friday date spot for a some key items like the cold noodles, spicy cabbage, and either the classic spicy fried chicken or tofu. Having been fortunate enough to visit the Szechuan province about ten years ago, I tried many restaurants in the US yearning for those same flavors. Nowhere transports me back through space and time like this restaurant. From a culinary perspective, I'm a huge fan. However, last night we left with a serious ick haunting us that has yet to leave. I found a hair in my side of rice, and there was an incessant presence of fruit flies needing to be swatted away. We tried our best to enjoy our meal (again, the flavors of which are incredible, our compliments to the chef), but I don't think our stomachs will allow us to return after the hair and flies. Sort that out, and we'll be back, seriously. Because the only other way I'm getting these flavors is a flight to Chengdu.

And if it's chicken wings your soul is screaming for, let's be honest: there isn't a single place in this town that can compete with San Tung. This recipe? It's completely off the hook. It is sweet, it is tangy, and it is utterly, shamelessly irresistible to the human tongue. It completely defies the pedestrian flavors that everyone else in this city is pushing. This isn't just food; it's a lifestyle choice. It's my drug of choice. What you've got here is a beautiful, bastardized combination of Chinese and Korean BBQ engineering. But let's get one thing straight: the secret isn't some mythical blend of eleven herbs and Chinese spices. No, it boils down to something far more primal: the type of chicken that San Tung purchases. They are looking for something very specific--the precise age, the exact size of the bird. And that? That is something they will absolutely never share with you. Like the formula for Coca-Cola, they guard that secret with a beautiful, paranoid intensity. Now, the people I really miss in this room are Charles and his wife. They split off from this sit-down paradise years ago and carved out their own gig right next door--San Tung 2. They took the crown and put themselves on the map for those wings. It was a beautiful, tightly run family affair--full-on mafia style. Whatever traffic drove through this side of town, they weren't here for the scenery; they were here for the wings. ST2 might be gone now, but the dream? The dream continues to thrive right here. So whenever that craving hits, do yourself a favor. Make your way over to this room. You'll thank me later.

After hearing countless people swear on their lives on San Tung's wings, I finally had a chance to…read moregrab them the last time I was in SF. I popped by about 15 mins before opening on a Friday and a short line quickly formed behind me. I'd say you probably don't need to wait though if you show up before 6PM. The real hack to skip the wait might honestly be to call in your order though as many to-go orders were bagged up by the time the doors opened. Dry Fried Chicken Wings: These are great don't get me wrong, but I'm not sure if I'd wait in a crazy line to pick these up. The wings themselves are on the smaller side, but pretty juicy and nicely cooked. The sauce is really quite sweet on the sweet savory scale and the sugar almost crystallizes on the fried skin to make for an ultra thick, satisfying crust. TLDR: skip the line by ordering ahead or arriving early. The wings are very very solid.

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. Little Szechuan was another Too Good to Go find. We'll be back soon, before Chinese New Year. 新年快乐
