I have been looking for a place that has jjajangmyeon for awhile. The dish is a favorite of one of my favorite characters in a manhwa(comic).
This restaurant is absolutely lovely. The atmosphere is a simple and small restaurant that is inviting and has a couple of different Korean shows playing on the TV screens. I would have liked to pay more attention to the shows, but I was preoccupied with my meal.
The people working there are lively, polite, and were kind enough to answer my many questions as I'm not very familiar with Korean cuisine. Wonderful service. Just attentive enough to check in when you might need something, but they are keen to not interrupt socializing. (I came alone, but there was a group next to me having a debate of sorts)
As for the food, I am not familiar with the cuisine, but I can say as a Colorado local I really enjoyed my meal. My jjajangmyeon came with side dishes, and of those I favored the white chopped vegetables, yellow egg cakes, and savory meat slices. I don't like vegetables much to start with, so I can't say on the cucumbers and kimchi. It also came with pickled radishes and the jjajangmyeon base sauce. I did like the side dishes I added, but it was not necessary at all. The jjajangmyeon noodles, pork, and vegetables that were cooked in were so good. The portion was large, and I was only able to eat about half of it before I had to call it quits and get a take-home container. The picture I took was after I ate all I could, as reference.
All in all, it was a great place to grab a bite. Momo would be a good place to bring a date or a couple of friends. It would also be good for a small...

완벽하다. This place made me so happy. Service was amazing. They were so welcoming and friendly from the moment I walked in the door. Went out of their way to make sure I understood how their system works. Kindly told me I could pick any table, gave me a menu to browse, and let me know I could take my time and then come up front to order and pay once I was ready. And it was so sweet, they immediately brought me cold water while I was choosing what to order. My side dishes also came out right away. And, btw, the side dishes were amazing in every way. Next my kimchi pancake came out and then the yukgaejang I ordered, with a bowl of rice to the side. The portion sizes were great, and the all the of the food tasted authentic and sooo good.
And like others have mentioned, I was completely satisfied with how clean everything was.
I ordered a lot (plenty for two people) so they offered me boxes to take everything I didn’t finish. Asked me if I wanted to pack the side dishes I didn’t finish- um, absolutely?! I wouldn’t leave those delicacies behind! Lol 😂
Plus they gave me a chocolate at the end of my meal as well, such a sweet gesture too! & they thanked me for stopping by.
Wish I lived here because I’d be a regular/ 단골...
Read moreI discovered Momo Restaurant after getting some cheap fuel at Dingo gas station, and I’m glad I found it.
It’s a small family restaurant with traditional Korean dishes that sooth your desires for kimchi and other Korean flavors.
I have ate at numerous Korean Restaurants in Colorado Springs but when walking in Momo’s it has the best feeling when in the being greeted at the door.
They have a nice small menu that the owner says is still a working in process, but it’s still great. MOMO kimchi fried rice, next time I’ll try it!
I was covered in dirt and took my order to go and was very satisfied with the interaction with the family staff, I am excited to try sitting down and eating when I’m not covered in grease and dirt.
When I got home they had packaged the food just like they were placing it on your dinner plate in the nice sturdy containers. The side dishes had their own container that separated them keeping everything yummy. The flavor was on par with the traditional Korean tastes you would experience in Korea, very yummy!
If you have a chance try them out. I was hungry and ate everything to fast to take pictures.
The owner also told my about the Mandu, they make in house not store bought. I’ll have to try it next time.
Finally, I really enjoyed the chocolate after snacks, great touch to...
