I absolutely adore this place. The chef and owner is kind and friendly, and the entire staff is great. The food is always fresh and delicious. I especially enjoy seeing what the daily specials will be! Oh, and I have to mention the rice balls. I crave them often. read more

Lunch spot convenient for those who work in or near the Brooklyn Army Terminal or who take the nearby ferry spot. It's a small restaurant with about eight seats. It's located close to a lobby with more seating plus there is ample spots outside to eat at if the weather is permitting. If I worked in the complex, then this would definitely be one of my go tos. I wish my office buildings had a spot like this. We came late in the day, so all the daily specials were sold out except for the fried chicken sandwich. Solid sandwich with crispy chicken and plenty of slaw to balance it out. It was served on white bread which was just the right thickness to hold everything together with diminishing the flavor of every bite. We also had a spicy tuna roll and a salmon & avocado roll. Aggressively seasoned rice which I liked. Interesting flavor coming through from the nori used in the rolls. I should have asked what they use. Staff was super friendly. Seemed like there were many regulars. They made a point to say hello and good bye to everyone. Great atmosphere here. read more

It is a little confusing finding Momo Test Kitchen because if you drive google maps directs you to the parking lot in the back. Good thing we ran into someone who directed us to where the front of the building was. I don't come to this area of Brooklyn often, so I wanted to order everything I was interested in. I like how everything is made fresh, and portion size was good for the price. I got take out and it was a long trek home, so I took a bite out of each item at pick-up so that I could give a fair review.: Chicken Katsu Sando ($9.50) - Fried chicken was moist, white milk bread was fluffy, but I wish there was a little more tonkatsu sauce for each bite. Tamago Sando ($9) - This was my favorite item. I enjoyed the creamy chunks and the whole egg sliced in half. Eggs were not over cooked. Great balance and good flavor. White milk bread was fluffy. Tuna Mayo ($3.50) - The cooked tuna and mayo was flavorful and there is a decent amount of filling inside, but I still have my other go to place for onigiris. You have to eat this one quickly because the nori will lose the crunch since it's directly touching the rice. Eel avocado roll ($7) - I enjoyed their BBQ eel sauce, but the portion size of the eel was significantly smaller than that of the other 2 rolls. Spicy Tuna Roll ($7) - Spicy tuna was fresh and flavorful. I preferred this over the salmon avocado roll. Salmon Avocado Roll ($7) - Salmon was fresh and portion was good, but the salmon did lack the slight sweetness I enjoy from high quality raw salmon. The sushi rice for all 2 rolls was nicely made as well. There was not too much vinegar, so it did not mask the natural taste of the fish. Complemented well. read more

MOMO Test Kitchen - Japanese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Actual hidden gem!! Located inside the annex inside of the Brooklyn army terminal it is a bit hidden but worth looking for and going out of your way to try. I have been wanting to come check out this place for so long and finally got a chance to check them out today. Everything is super fresh and they have the kindest staff! I tried the spicy tuna roll, vegetarian curry, and miso soup. The spicy tuna roll was my favorite. read more

Had a most lovely and homey brunch/early lunch here and ordered quite a few items to try. My friend and I got two specials of the day, mushroom katsu curry and shrimp roll. The mushroom was large and the fry was crispy. The curry sauce was very flavorful. The shrimp rolls were amazing. The miso soup was a wonderful size and had veggies in it. The chicken nanban were crispy and the tartar sauce was tangy and addicting. The futomaki roll and banana pudding was okay! There isn't a lot of seating so would recommend coming before or after the lunch rush. The space is light and airy. Service was attentive and everyone was very welcoming. read more

The online ordering process was very easy. The menu was diverse and very affordable. We ordered the chicken teriyaki bento box, the karrage curry and the salmon Cobb salad. I couldn't resist adding a yellowtail sushi roll as well. Pick up was easy. Unfortunately, when I got back to the hospital, I noticed that the chicken teriyaki bento box was missing. There was no phone number on the website to call. The number on YELP was not useful. There was nothing to do but walk back from the hospital. Thankfully it wasn't busy. When we told them about the missing meal, the tone in which the guy asked why we didn't bring the whole bag back made it seem like he was accusing me of trying to steal a meal from them.... Why would we walk all the way back from the hospital with the rest of our food to pick up our missing order?!!! The lady then noticed that there was a brown bag with a chicken teriyaki bento box on the counter that was ours. There was a mistake during the bagging process. She apologized and gave us a free dessert. But unfortunately, despite having this great option by the hospital, I can't see myself coming back. I can't shake the feeling of being accused of trying to get a free meal... read more

MOMO Test Kitchen - Japanese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This has been on my list to try for a long time! But since they're only open during lunch on weekdays, it's been difficult to make the time to come. But today I was able to check it out! The restaurant is easy to find. It's right as you enter from the Annex building. The inside is very small with only counter seating about 6 seats. The kitchen is open concept where you can see them cooking and preparing the food. There's daily specials but make sure to come early because by the time we arrived, two specials we wanted to try were out already. But luckily, I was able to try their strawberry fruit sando ($6.50). We ordered the salmon teriyaki bento and the chicken nanban. Both tasted good like home cooked meals. The salad dressing seemed to be random? My friend got ginger and I got the basil dressing. It would be nice if they let you pick which dressing you wanted. The two bento sets were good and came with small side dishes: egg salad, marinated veggies, a piece of pumpkin, and half a curry eggroll. Everything was good but nothing too special - more of a home cooked style. The staff were nice and served us water. The environment was very casual. Momo was there and was very friendly. I think they have special desserts on Wednesdays and Fridays. The fruit sando was not as nice as I would've liked. The strawberries were sour but I liked that the filling was a mix of custard and whipped cream. The price was very reasonable but flavor wise, it was just okay. Overall: a great casual place for home cooked style Japanese food - great for dine in or take out. I would come again to try their specials and other desserts. read more

Momo is literally a kitchen style eatery. It's located in the Brooklyn army terminal. Staff are sweet and welcoming. So far I've tried their sushi, the onigiri, the soup and the bowl. Everything tastes great. The only thing I wasn't feeling is the onigiri which had way too much rice and not enough filling. Prices are average, food is great, ambience isn't for me but amazing for take out. I've been here 5x already & will be back again. read more

MOMO Test Kitchen - Wow this cod katsu sando was amazing! Highly recommended! - Japanese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

It's a hidden gem in Brooklyn Army Terminal or in generaI Brooklyn to find authentic Japanese food. To open a restaurant there it is mostly cater to people working around there. They close relatively early. I love there curry! The karage and katsu were excellent. I personally wouldn't get their onigiri because it was filled with too much rice, not enough seasonings and fillings. It's a big size for like $3.50 but I don't think it's worth the money if I'm mainly tasting plain rice. read more

4.5 to be exact. We stumbled this little gem when we randomly got off a ferry stop. Price was very reasonable. We ordered one chicken katsu curry and one karage curry. While chicken katsu was piping hot from the fryer, karage was kinda cold. Not sure it was done purposely. Cuz I know Japanese do serve karage cold in bento. But their curry sauce was phenomenal. It was so flavorful with the perfect level of sweetness and saltiness. Man, I still think of it when I'm writing this lol. Wish they open on weekend that I can come back to try other items from their menu. read more

I work right down the street from Momo's and come here once a week for lunch. There are so many amazing things about this place! First of all, all the food is fresh and made right before your eyes. It's great quality that's also a great price. Secondly, Chef Yukumi, who is the founder of Momo's, is so warm and welcoming. Coming in to Momo's each week feels like I'm being invited in to her home. She always welcomes me with a smile and greets me by name. The plants on the windowsill and all the natural light that comes in definitely adds to the cosy atmosphere. If you're ever in Brooklyn Army Terminal, do yourself a favor and go here! read more

A small restaurant located inside Brooklyn terminal Off the ferry and pier. Saw many items to try on the menu, but oddly I selected the safe don katsu which is a normal staple. Wide selection of drinks, great service and reasonably priced. Seating can be a little tricky and hit or miss depending on how many are entertaining this place during lunch. - maybe take it outside if it is summertime Definitely a must try if in the general area or coming off the ferry. read more

Got lost getting here since it's my first time at Brooklyn army terminal. Keep your eye out for the Annex sign on the building. Small spot with really only 6ish seats. Such a sweet find in this area. Ordered their special yellowtail bowl and it came with a salad. The fish was fresh with some dressing on top which was delicious - didn't even need any soy sauce. The rice was kind of vinegary which works for me because i Love vinegar but the rice could have been less moist. They don't have a bathroom in the unit so you have to go to the 2nd floor and walk through empty hallways. Such a pleasant find near nyu hospital vs. other food options nearby. I wasn't hungry til I started eating the meal. read more

Affordable and straight forward japanese food. The hours are pretty limited, but its great if you're nearby and need something quick for lunch. They have some of the classics like katsu curry and sandwiches. Affordable items and the staff are very welcoming. read more

Really wanted to like this place seeing so many positive reviews. I ordered the curry chicken katsu lunch which was okay, it was on the really salty side and even though I was eating lunch at the counter I was not given a cup of water. Just standard service I think a cup of water should be provided without having to request it. read more

MOMO Test Kitchen - Todays special: mackarel bento - Japanese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

There wasn't enough seats for three people so we ordered to go. It was kind of awkward because the staff never addressed us the entire time until we decided to order. The location was kind of remote overall and it was basically all regulars. They're only open for lunch hours though so I guess it's always going to be crowded. The food was decent. Not bad but not amazing. Curry sauce was plentiful. Wouldn't go again unless I'm at the pier area for some reason. Better options in brooklyn if I'm going to make a trip just for Japanese food. read more

I stopped in after I was recommended to try by a fellow passerby when the ferry's was delayed. It's located inside the Brooklyn Army Terminal annex building. A cute spot with limited seating and freshly made food. I ordered the salmon teriyaki bento which was so delicious and comforting--had lots of side dishes, the potato salad and eggplant were my favorite. I also, ordered a chicken katsu sando and two onigiri to go. Such great affordable prices! The bento was $14, sando was $8, and onigiri ranged from $3-3.50. The staff is super friendly. Will definitely be back! read more

The food is superb and the people are kind! Best lunch break ever! We will be back again :) Thank you

Interesting, very healthy lunch. I had the teriyaki salmon bowl...hit the spot! Super fresh sushi! Great find in an out of the way place!

The food here was soooo good! The service was great. They only have 6 seats, so take out if you can. Highly recommend!

I passed by this place so many times, but I'm so happy I finally caught it while it was open. I got the salmon bento box, and it was delicious! The sides blew it out of the park, with the lotus root being my favorite. Definitely worth it. The portions are a good size, making this such a gem. Definitely go check it out! read more

MOMO Test Kitchen is located in the Brooklyn Army Terminal (right off the ferry stop!). Don't let its small and humble interior fool you, this restaurant might be the best kept secret in Sunset Park. Head Chef Yukimi serves up some of the most delicious Japanese food NYC has to offer at some of the most affordable prices in the city. From the bento boxes for those on the go to the Japanese curry to the salads (with salad dressings made locally literally just a few floors above the restaurant), you can't go wrong with anything you order! Not to mention how good the service is. If you ever happen to find yourself in this rapidly growing part of Brooklyn, do yourself a favor and go eat at MOMO test kitchen! read more

This place is a diamond in the rough. You would never think you'd find such exquisite Japanese food here, but right in the Brooklyn Army Terminal you may just find the best Japanese lunch in Brooklyn. Seating is limited to 10 people, but we did note a lot of pickup takeout orders. We decided to dine in and it was an amazing lunch. I had the Chicken Katsu Don that comes with a delicious salad with homemade sesame dressing. My lunch mates had the Chicken Karaage Bento and the Salmon Teriyaki Bento. The bento boxes were really worth it because it came with salad and a few little side dishes. Everything was so delicious and high quality. We can tell the salmon was a premium piece and the teriyaki sauce was a very unique umami flavor. It is all so beautifully presented. The staff greets you upon entrance and kept checking with us to make sure we liked our food. We loved that the chef personally checked in with us and was humbled by our compliments and praises. It is a bit hard to find, but worth the hunt. It is in the Annex A building connected to the Brooklyn Army terminal building. I am coming back to try more off of their menu, it all looks so delicious! read more

We were getting vaxed at the hospital nearby and saw this place on Yelp. It was tricky to find but so worth it. I had the BBQ eel and my husband had the chicken katsu curry. The eel was so tender, thin slices crisped to perfection! Very sweet people and we loved the food. Can't wait to bring friends here for a take out to eat on the nearby pier. A real gem. read more
