Momentea - New York

TLDR this place is great for the area which is lacking asian fare, and is ambitious with its large menu of authentic asian items, but you can probably find better versions of each of their items elsewhere. If you work in the area this is a great spot to check out.YUZU CITRUS SALMON POKE BOWLNot bad I'm not sure they use sushi rice for this but it was nice, citrusy, sweet from the mango and the fish quality they use isn't bad at all. Pretty good flavors for a quick poke but nothing super authentic or dedicated to poke.GALAXY YOGURT DRINK This I actually really liked, their bubble tea is pretty on par for other bubble tea spots and they have cool interesting flavor combos so take advantage of that. The butterfly pea was nice and subtle and the yakult was that nice sweet tangy flavor that you know and love.TAIWANESE FRIED CHICKEN a little dry, not super basily tasting and kinda small pieces (frittery) but enjoyable. Comes with spicy mayo.CHILI OIL WONTONSThey do kind of a solid job with this, nicely decorated, the heat doesn't pack too big of a punch (get extra if you need) and it's definitely from a bag of frozen wontons but it comes out kind tasty especially with the chili oil and the filling amount isn't bad. Black sesame seeds on top are a nice touch. I'm really glad this area is providing a much needed asian food presence in Greenwich Village.

I bought two bubble teas and who took my order made whatever he wanted instead of what I asked for even though I repeated it. One was a rose milk tea with boba, no ice. Instead, half of it was ice and it was made with green tea instead of black (for what I know, by defalt flavoured teas are made with black tea and you can choose green), so I had to throw it away because green tea increases my blood pressure. The other one was a peach oolong tea with herbal jelly. Instead, I received a lychee with an unknown tea and boba. I asked to make what I asked for and they only changed the boba for grass jelly, which later I noticed looked moldy. So, at the end, two bubble teas to the trash

I ordered a classic milk tea with clear boba, cheese foam, and grass jelly, 30% sweet. Steam vege dumpling ~9-10 pieces), and miso soup. I paid $9 drink and $16 for food. So total $25. The drink was okay. Not the best cheese foam I had but not bad. Recommend to stick with 30% sweet, because the 30% sweet was right amount, so i can imagine 50-100% will be way too much. I would not recommend vege dumpling. It's probably the worst I have had. The inside is potatoes and peas which I did not expect. Even I use sriracha to make it taste better, i could not eat more than 3 pieces....The miso soup was okay. So in general, not bad.

Just got back with yet another choice of their pokebowl! Delish!! Great sized portions too!They never disappoint, felt obligated to give 5 star review!

We frequent this restaurant often after school because the food, especially the sushi that I recommend, is delicious and the bubble tea is incredible. The staff is also very friendly and welcoming.
