Reviews Momo's Cafe

I recently celebrated my friend’s birthday here and I couldn’t be more impressed with the experience. The staff went above and beyond to make it a memorable celebration. When I mentioned it was my friend’s birthday, they not only surprised us with a beautifully decorated ice cream dessert but also changed the background music to the birthday song. It was such a thoughtful gesture that made the celebration even more special. The food was outstanding, showcasing the flavors of Taiwan in every dish. We indulged in a variety of dishes, each bursting with authentic taste and freshness. Highly recommend Momo’s Cafe for anyone looking for delicious Taiwanese cuisine and a welcoming atmosphere!

Momo’s Cafe is a cozy little restaurant specializing in Taiwanese bento and street food. Had the opportunity to speak with the owner once and they take great pride in the authenticity of their bento and the food they serve. The place is small but quite cute. It has outdoor seating as well. The server was friendly and attentive. She took the time to explain the restaurant’s specialties and shared her personal favorites. As for the food, everything we tried was really flavorful. The menu was comprehensive and truly showcased a wide range of Taiwanese comfort food, with options like bento, iron pan entrees, and Taiwanese street snacks to name a few. Momo’s cafe also serve Taiwanese shaved ice and boba tea. I particularly enjoyed the popcorn chicken and the spicy pot. The chicken was incredibly crunchy and well marinated. Fried basil added nice flavor to the dish. The spicy pot was comforting and fulfilling, accompanied by a delightful array of fresh ingredients. The portion size was generous, making it an excellent choice for sharing as well. In all, my dining experience at Momo’s Cafe was a great success. I highly recommend trying their unique dishes. The location is a bit hidden and inconvenient. The recommended way to get to the restaurant would be by car.

If you love Taiwanese food and bubble tea, momos cafe is the place to go! I got popcorn chicken, Taiwanese sausages, truffle fries and an iron pan steak, honestly they are all very good! On top of that, I got a green tea milk foam , it’s soooooo good! Highly recommended . My mom got the lemon black tea, she likes mine more lol

I love the fried pork chop sandwiches very much, it reminds me the breakfast cafeteria in Taiwan. All the ingredients are perfect. The fry pan noodles smells so good. The beef beef popcorn is juicy and delicate. Don't forget the fried ice cream! it's evil but delicious. You can have it for the perfect ending!

We're quite glad to find another authentic Taiwanese eatery in the DC area. Iron Pan Steak with black pepper gravy brought back childhood memories for me and my wife. Our kids enjoyed bento boxes just as well. Popcorn Chicken is as good as any others in the area. The Taiwanese Sausage Hamburger (大腸包小腸) was a little disappointing, though. It came sliced in pieces and took away the fun of eating two types of sausages together like a hotdog on buns.

Ordered the iron pan ribeye steak and the Momo's spicy soup. Both entrees tasted very delicious and very authentic Taiwanese. I love the black pepper sauce for the tender steak 😋 Remember to put some sauce on the noodle too! The strawberry cheese foam and black tea are great compliment to the food and the sweetness are perfect! Will definitely be coming back often!

I work near here and decided to check it out on my lunch break. I’m so glad I did because I had the best eel bento box and taro milk tea. I’m looking forward to trying the more traditional Taiwanese foods that I haven’t gotten a chance to try. The sea salt coffee is so delicious I think it might be the best coffee I’ve ever had! Can’t recommend enough!

This might be the best Taiwanese street food in DC area. Love the small and ambient atmosphere. Service is great!
