Tried them twice on Uber Eats (got the Shanghai bowl with noodles, then the Seoul) and everything was truly perfect. Packaged and presented beautifully, fresh ingredients, and truly delicious.

Food is really delicious! Everything Ive tried has been so good. Nothing beats dining in the restaurant as the food just comes so fresh and steaming. Very tasty! Noodle dishes are simply amazing! Also try a bao bun exceptional.

I had the Mongolian fried rice. It was good. Not much vibe on a Saturday, maybe cuz it was 6pm.

Very very disappointed. Been ordering the Shared duck noodles as takeaways for ages - always had leftovers- and today I couldnt believe the size of the new packaging. The portion has decreased by more than half, with the price (obviously) increasing. Unfortunately I wont be ordering from you guys again, which is a pity because I supported for a very long time. Its dishonest to decrease portions by so much and increase the price. There is no way this can still be considered a shared dish.

My first time here. Simple, straight to the food, there is no alcohol here but you can bring yours at no charge.Food was amazing, very well cooked and tasty.Very casual, it has outside tables too. Manager came to say hi and we had a good time.

Not worth it anymore, sad that this used to be a brilliant restaurant!We have been avid patrons of this restaurant, this was our go to stop, the twice cooked beef ribs were the most tender, tasty ribs I had ever had, and all the food and service was excellent, NOT THE CASE ANYMORE!The Mongolian lamb fried rice came with out its normal tomato based sauce and when we complained to the waiter over the phone he first talked so softly you could not hear a word he said even after asking him to speak up, what a person like that was doing answering the phone instead of someone with a voice is beyond me and a management issue, after eventually getting the point across to him he offered no solution or compensation, so I asked for the manager(clearly incompetent) who then proceeded to make me w8 while talking it over with the staff and then proceeded to offer one excuse after the next...I eventually had to hang up because it was clear that he wasn’t going to try help me!The food quality has gone downhill so much I will not eat there any more! The flavours are lacking from what they were the food was dry and flavourless in general and thrown together with out any care or pride in what they were doing, Honestly if this continues they don’t deserve to stay open!

We have been a few times. The food is authentic and delicious! Staff friendly and efficient. There is no liquor license so one can take your own wine. Highly recommend!

Review №11

Very quiet. Service not that great in terms of attentiveness (understandably so - it seemed as though they were mostly doing Uber eats and Mr D orders) but the food more than made up for that. I had the Szechuan chicken bowl - it was incredibly spicy - but incredibly tasty 🤤. Also had the coconut prawn curry sushi 😯😨 - have never tasted anything like it. A-may-zayn.

Love this place! It is big! It is open! It has good food! BUT it doesnt have a liquor licence! Went here during work hours so the place was empty but I imagine its packed during the evening and weekends. The food is Korean apparently, nice tapas type menu.....at this point Im just trying to get to 250 words. Ive said all I can about this place.

Review №17

Fantastic food, definitely worth a visit. Momo offers a tappas style Asian menu. Their baos are always fresh and delicious, with the twice cooked ribs being a personal favourite of mine. This branch always has friendly and quick service and is never overly busy. I would definitely recommend eating here.

Review №18

Very nice and spacious place serving fresh, tasty food. Their Tokyo and Bangkok chicken meals are awesome, served with fresh greens or rice. The fried rice and lamb was also very nice, made more so by that sauce - yum. Sushi a bit on the small side, but overall service was fast and friendly. Entrance a bit tricky to find though.

Review №19

Love Momo Nikkō, it has a fresh wholesome menu with Peruvian flavours. Expect to see a lot of ceviche on the menu, grapefruit flavours, sushi with sauce (fusion), and another regular Momo favourites. Its not very carb heavy, the unique Nikkei menu. The space is huge inside unlike other branches where it feels cramped. Inside is a bit dark in the evenings, it could be better lit up. The GPS may take you to a spot you cant enter from so go around by the garage to enter. Dont park on the street. A friends car was keyed.

Review №20

Well... that was quite simply delicious. The food is a magnificent explosion of flavours and the presentation is divine. This Asian fusion kitchen is guaranteed to take you on quite a journey. It is well worth sharing a selection of dishes between a couple of friends to get a taste of as many dishes as possible. Its just too good to simply commit to a single meal.They have an amazing selection of teas if you want to sip on something... buuuut, as of September 2019 they still havent secured a liquor license, so you can still bring-your-own-booze. Yay! At times, there have been issues with the authorities as they put it. Give them a call and ask if you can bring a cooler before you pop in.The only niggle is that the acoustics arent great, so it can get loud inside. Overall its an awesome restaurant.

Review №21

Absolutely spectacular. A lot of these reviews are whiny but Ill tell you one thing, its damn good food. Travelled Asia and I have a decent grasp on the taste profiles and they come very close. Some are American-style and more Cantonese than Chinese. Overall, solid 5/5. Enjoy

What great food. Totally worth going there. Very nice bakery too.

Review №23

Excellent tapas and service. The only critique is that chopsticks are re- used. They are washed by hand in a big sink and used repeatedly. In my opinion, disposable chopsticks are more hygienic especially during pandemic.

Review №24

The fifth Momo is as delightful as the other four. You dont get the crispy tofu tapas the other venues all offer or the ramen Momo &O in Norwood has, but you do get Peking steamed pancakes, roasted duck wokked noodles and Mongolian lamb fried rice. Like the other outlets you can bring your own booze and theres no corkage. Expect baos, hot bowls, cold poké bowls, sushi and interesting specialty teas. A great addition to Bryanstons roster of eateries.

Review №27

I used to love this place but in the last six or so months service and food quality has deteriorated quite significantly. The food is not as tasty and it seems that the new waitstaff is not as well trained- it takes quite a few tries to get one glass of water. The duck in the duck pancakes is dry and chewy, the pastry on the lemon yuzu tart and the chocolate tart was undercooked.

Review №28

Momo Nikko is of the same group as Momo Bauhaus. The food is equally good and definitely worth a visit. Momo Nikko has Poke bowls on their menu too and I had the Oahu Poke Bowl. Love the fresh combination of ginger and pickle and salmon. We also had two helpings of the deep fried bun in salted caramel dip! Definitely planning to visit again.

Review №29

Such a nice treat! The food is so delicious and uniquely asain. I loved the bao buns as well as the sushi. My advice is to order lots of little platters and share so you can taste it all!Great restaurant for a date night, event of friend getting together. You can bring your own booze and there is no corkage fee. So eat well and remember to tip well too!The only thing is its difficult to find Momos. There is no signage to direct you as to where to go. So look for a staircase at the end of the parking and the restruant is up those stairs. My reason for a 4 star rating.

I have been to all the other Momo restaurants, mostly to the one in Norwood, each of these Momos have their own speciality, this one has Peking pancakes which is a Peking duck with plum sauce as well as a yuzu chicken pancake, I had the duck which was great, the place has a very serene atmosphere, although once people get wind of this place, its going to be full all the time, the Momo in Norwood is always full and you need a reservation to go there, they have only been open 3 weeks so far, not sure if this is my favorite Momo restaurant just yet but Im certainly very happy their is one in brynston as the food at Momo is always great and Im just down the road😁👌

Had no idea that Momo was in this centre even though I go to the centre often! A friend told me and we went for the most delicious dinner. Service was excellent too. Only problem is the lack of signage. Will definitely become a regular.

Food is great, but they close early and the location is a let down. No clear signage, hard to find. There is a nightclub next door so the parking area is a nightmare to get out of after dinner.

Food was good as always, but service was slow and we had to look for a waiter. We went during covid and was basically the only table, and they where more interested in us leaving than staying to support them.

Review №50

My experience at this Momo was a bit disappointing. We sat outside for dinner and it was incredibly dark, so we could not even see our food. The colorful lights above set a nice mood but are not practical enough, a candle at the tables might help. The food was also not as well prepared as the Norwood branch, one dish too dry and the other way to much sauce (we tried two of the bowels).I would say the service was good enough , but doesn’t make up enough for the poor setting and food.I tried this craft ice tea for the first time and it tasted great. My partner had the lemongrass ginger beer which was also quite nice

Review №52

Good food - We ordered take-aways a few days ago - the calamari wasnt 100% the best but the Baos are great! They could have been a bit saucier like they are when you dine-in, but still worth the meal. Definitely hoping to go back once they allow dine-ins again.

This restaurant has terrific food, great service and a nice vibe, but finding parking here is such a mission. The only negative is having to spend forever finding parking which inevitably results in parking on the street. The restaurant also allows you to take alcohol in without corkage.

I enjoyed the restaurant my partner not so much. Decor is basic. No liquor license so bring your own. We had the Peking duck pancakes (was pretty good) the calamari, Korean chicken wings and spicy prawns. The latter items were a bit oily. Give the place a try and see how works for you.

Bad service our waitress only took the drinks order for one person,took her while to come back and then she never back, we eventually had to ask another waiter for our bill. Crispy calamari was on the undercooked side. Parking area is a bit of nightmare.Momo & O Norwood still my favourite

What a treat! Excellent food, and I mean excellent! Bring your own booz [wine etc.} chill. Eat. Drink and enjoy the atmosphere. Would highly highly recommend! Aisan/Korean food. If you dont know what to order - Tapas (Crispy Calamari / Twice cooked beef ribs / Spicy Kelabi beef / Spicy Korean Chicken) and for the Boas ( almost anyone #except the fish one #) these basics will most definitely satisfy the tatsebuds and I guarantee you will be back soon 😂

Review №87

So I started with Momo Baohaus and have been a fan ever since. Then other outlets opened ... I have experienced each one (Greenside, Illovo, Norwood, Rosebank) and now Momo Nikko. Happy to report that each establishment maintains the same high quality of service and food. Menus vary slightly at each eatery. The ambience is friendly and great that the original Baohaus has expanded their seating.While you are perusing the menu, a bowl of complimentary prawn crakers is served. The tapas is the ideal way to share and experience the delights Momo has to offer. Most of the dishes are spicy, but there are options for those with temperate taste buds. A standard for me is the Fiery Green Beans. Its a hit with whoever I am with, even those who cant / dont eat chilli! (Just make sure you dont have a chilli on your bean when you eat it! ;) ) Leave room to try the Bao and other fare. :)For those who enjoy a tipple or two, the BYO is a great plus factor!Keep up the superb standard Momo!

Average. Starter firecracker prawns awful. No prawn inside more like a dough thats fried. Ordered a beef bangkok bowl was nice just to heavy with saucy spice. Their beef bao a steamed sandwich is the best light fluffy filled with beef. Too heavy on asian sauces so overpowers their dishes. Went on a wed night to the one on main was empty not doing so well so ambience not great. But good decor clean and friendly staff. Cheap.. good prices
