I liked Momonoki. They had a lot of options, including Ramen and Rice Bowls. I had the Pork Belly Ramen bowl, it could have been a little spicier, but they brought me some hot sauce. It was very good. The desserts are made fresh and awesome. The Creme Brulee was great.
I would go back.

Do yourself a favor and eat here!
I ordered the Katsu Sando w/avocado & shitake. Everything about it was delicious. I love that it's something that's not on every menu and I will be back to enjoy it again.
To drink I had the brown sugar latte which was also delicious.
Our server was attentive and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time.
The space is fairly unassuming. Nothing wrong with it (it was clean and organized) but don't expect anything really special. But that's okay because after we had our first and bite, none of that mattered at all.
Stopped at the cafe side on the way out to take home the creme brulee croissant and it was BEYOND! It took a little while for them to make it fresh (they don't just hand you the one that's in the display case), but the small wait was SO worth it!
This place is a gem!

The pastries at Momo Cafe are excellent, and so are the coffee (and other) drinks. The interior is lovely. The staff is friendly. This is one of my favorite places to walk to from the Midtown MARTA Station. I love it when great local businesses make the neighborhood shine.
Momonoki is a shared cafe and restaurant inspired by east Asian staple foods and simply culinary dishes. They are all pretty delicious but some of them involve house sauces or traditional flavoring.
Do not expect to find sushi here. There are a ton of curries, rice bowls, ramen bowls, and quick appetizers. During brunch hour, $25 gets you bottomless mimosas.
There is an area where you can quickly come and go to grab a quick coffee (left side side door of the building) but there are a limited number of pastries to choose from. They open at 9am but lunch doesn't start until 11am (1030am for brunch).
It's a little awkward to walk around the cafe side to get to the upstairs cafe seating or down to the restaurant dining areas. They do really make it easy to place to place a to-go order through a QR code though.

Super cute and detailed speciality coffee shop in ATL. I really love the inviting atmosphere. I got a hot americano and strawberry croissant. Very refreshing and yummy. I really hate that there is limited seating in the upstairs seating area but other than that…everything is clean and nice. I love how there’s also outside seating! I haven’t tried the food yet but I can’t wait to come back and try the ramen. They also do validate parking when you park next to the parking garage. Highly recommend to come check this place out if you are in midtown!
Nice restaurant by the highway close to Georgia Tech.
Food is mostly far east Asian inspired and pretty great.
Ordering is done online with a QR code on the table.
Service felt a bit slow when I went on Thursday night and it did not seem to be very busy to me.
I got the pork curry and it was very good. The rice was a bit too soft for my taste, but the meal was good overall.

We didn’t have any complaints with the food or the service but it was kind of hard to find a table right away. The dinosaur egg and seared pork belly bowl were delish. Pork belly was tender and had a robust flavor. I liked the creativity behind the dinosaur egg, the flavors worked together and created something delectable. Prices were reasonable.
Very chic and busy, not many tables on the main indoor space, but there's an upstairs and outdoor space. This place hits every spot for me cause I'm in love with Japanese Curry and Mentaiko. Lots of coffee and tea drinks to choose from as well as pastries. Which I had to pass on as I was far too full from the delish sandwiches and noodles.
The food here is yummy. Some things like the shiitake sando could use more seasoning, but overall I enjoy the food. There are options for vegetarians, vegans might find it difficult since some things are dressed in mayo. The drinks are lacking tho. I've ordered the strawberry matcha and the iced hojicha latte. The strawberry matcha was okay, but it was not sweet enough and the matcha was too bitter. The hojicha had no flavor, maybe they didn't add enough because it was just a little tablespoon at the bottom, and the drink was 90% milk which also had no flavor. The bakery is great tho! Lots of yummy cookies and croissants.
We were recommended this place and omg. So good.
It was perfect for a date night but I'd love to come back for a coffee or lunch, and try everything else, the sandwiches look incredible. The staff was super friendly, not pictured was a delightful cocktail and a strawberry matcha.
Will be back again!

The wife had been wanting to try this place out. We decided to make it a date day. The seating inside is kind of tight, but the service was great. They do have seating outside with fans and an upstairs seating. We tried a few things on the menu and we enjoyed it all. We had Chicken Kara-Age, Classic Takoyaki and we both did get Ramen. she had to try their popular dessert, looks like a doughnut but made with a croissant and has cream filling on the inside. Definitely do recommend and will be back.
Really disappointing for the price point. I ordered the duck and truffle ramen. For $20 I received two small slices of duck and a small chunk of chicken. The ramen egg was just a hardboiled egg that tasted like it was briefly dipped soy sauce. The environment is quite nice, and I planned on returning to try some of their pastries until I experienced the food quality.
First impression: No one was upfront to greet or even a sign in place to instruct you to seat yourself. I eventually figured out that you seat yourself and order using the QR code on the table. The wait was long. I waited 45 minutes for a salmon poke bowl. The waiter was apologetic. Its not his fault its the kitchens fault. I ordered my bowl with spring mix it came out with romaine. Again the waiter was apologetic. Again not his fault. I then ordered a coffee and a pecan croissant it was dry but coffee was delicious. The restaurant itself is cute and clean but my overall experience was a mixed bag. It was okay not great. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back.
This place is made for people who love to work while eating in social environment. Food was delicious and drinks were also great. Staff was very attentive and fast! There are not many ports to charge your devices so if you wanna sit for long make sure you sit next to power outlet. Paid Parking is available right next to building.
Great atmosphere and amazing vibe
The good tastes good as well however it is over priced especially the vegetarian options
I have been there a few times so far and all my other experience has been good but this time it was such a bad experience that I had to let others know so that they can stay away. After my dinner order I decided to order food to go for my wife and it was so delayed that I went out to grab a drink and came back after 30 minutes and it still was not ready. So I went out again to finish grocery shopping. Even after that the food was not ready! When I asked about it (I was definitely agitated) the manager asked me to calm down when I was not really yelling and had a very good reason to be mad
TL;DR great food, slightly over priced and bad management
Update: After all that wait, they packed the wrong thing. But as soon as we contacted them about it, they agreed to give a refund right away
