There’s something special about handcrafted noodles and beautifully made dumplings. And you’ll find both at Momo Mee, a restaurant located amid the rapidly developing Harbor District. Their pan-Asian menu features a smattering of dishes from countries including Korea, India, Japan and China.
Amid familiar items like potstickers, steamed buns and three varieties of Japanese ramen, diners will also find more adventurous dishes like Szechuan beef noodles with housemade beef stock, hand-made noodles, braised beef and a delicious mix of savory and tongue-numbing spices; and Korean beef cooked in a clay pot with kimchi, vermicelli noodles, shiitake mushrooms and scallions.
Of course, if you're there, you should indulge in an order of their xiao long bao (soup dumplings). They’re delicious and fun to eat. Just take care not to burn yourself on the hot soup!
Momo Mee offers lunch specials for $12, as well as happy hour food and drink specials (at the bar only) from 3 to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
