MOMO is our favorite sushi place. Rolls are a good size. Eat in is quick and staff are very friendly. We most order takeout and we always get everything we ask for.

Some of the best Korean I have had in a long time. This restaurant is small and if you have a larger party book. The food is simple and elegant. The style of having sushi and Korean together works and the fact that most sushi restaurants are run by Koreans here in the Peg makes it seem well normal. Went here with some good friends and a son who loves all things Asian. Appetizers are plentiful and delicious ranging. The gamut of great Japanese and Korean classics. I settled with Korean glass noodles and split a kimchi pancake with my better half. Seriously best pancake Eva!!! This place was recommended by my friends and I thank them for it. The mains came quick and my Korean pork steak was sweet and salty and delicious. It had been obviously marinated to perfection so the fat had been broken down and the meat had that almost melt on your tongue but still meat umami taste that I love. If you are new to Koream food this is a great introduction venue. The place is clean and it has one of my main litmus tests for authenticity when it comes to Asian restaurants, if I am one of the only causcasians in the the place you know it’s going to be good!

Momo is one of the Korean restaurants that my husband and I frequent. We usually dine in, but today we decided to get takeout for the first time. From ordering it over the phone to having it ready, it only took 15 minutes, or less than that actually, because I arrived a few minutes early. I ordered 3 california rolls for the husband, and for myself, I got the soon dubu chigae(soft tofu stew), which I always order when I’m there and is my favourite. The california rolls were $ 3.95 each with 8 pieces, which is probably the cheapest I’ve ever seen it being offered. My soon dubu chigae was $ 10.95, and I got it with pork(another option is seafood). Aside from tofu, the stew will come with sliced onion and a cooked egg. The stew tasted just like how it does when you dine in and was still hot by the time I got home(about 10 minutes). They also gave me two side dishes, being kimchi and seasoned bean sprouts, and a serving of rice. When we dined in, we would usually get three side dishes, which would include the two I mentioned, and also the soy sauce braised potatoes. Also, I liked the fact that they put cling wrap over the opening of the container before putting the lid on to prevent spillage of the stew. Many times when I’m driving while it’s sitting in the car, soup or sauce will spill out of the container, so I thought it was smart of them to do so. Overall, the taste of the food was consistent with dining in. Their sushi here is also very good. I would recommend getting the spicy torch roll. Other Korean dishes I’d recommend is the budae chigae and jeyuk bokum. Price-wise for the Korean dishes, they are more expensive than other restaurants I’ve been to. If you can’t be bothered to travel further for cheaper options, then Momo would be the next best thing.

Do not recommad, the worst Korean food in Winnipeg. You are paying more per dish at momo, but getting less food on your plate(not even a plate full). There s barely any seafood in their seafood pancake, and the gamjatang tastes like water mixed with spicy soybean paste, you suppose to get potato and nappa cabbage in your soup, but all you get is the meatless bone and a small slice of potato. The Korean food in momo just looks so pathetic. If u want to eat good authentic Korean food, go try out Kimbaek, u ll be so pleased like me :)

The Philadelphia rolls are a guilty pleasure of mine… Even though sushi fans would roll their eyes with a comment like that I have never had anything like them Very reasonably priced sushi and great selection

Momo is a small family run Korean and Japanese restaurant in the Fort Richmond Plaza(on your right when you’re heading south on Pembina). It’s in the same strip mall as the Liquor Mart. I liked the«japchae.» It’s a delicious, but somewhat greasy stir-fried dish that combines sweet vermicelli noodles made from the starch of a white sweet potato(aka glass noodles), thinly slices of beef, carrots, green onion, spinach, shiitake mushrooms and green peppers. The glass noodles had a slightly chewy texture(in a good way) and was wonderfully flavoured with sesame oil and soy sauce. There was beef in this dish, which is interesting cause the menu didn’t mention it at all so if you’re vegetarian, make sure you inquire first. The«bulgogi», pan fried sweetly marinated beef with vegetables, rice and kimchee. The beef was slightly sweet and tender and the kimchee was spicy. The«spicy tuna» roll(cucumber, tuna, tobiko and hot sauce) and the«crazy» roll(cucumber, spicy tuna, sliced garlic, green onion and salmon on top). Overall, the rolls were average as there was a bit too much sushi rice in the rolls and the rice was a bit wet. Service was friendly and efficient. I’d go back again but I’d stick to the Korean dishes.
