Momo Yakitori - Washington

Great food, nice selection of sake and amazing prices. Will definitely be back.

Go check this out. It's different so worth a visit. The owners and the staff were incredibly friendly. The bar downstairs is lots of fun. Ok yeah its in a part of DC with no foot traffic but that's what made the experience more interesting. It wasn't packed like a 14th street mob scene.

We love this place. funky and interesting. very informal. recommend the gurkensalat and the cocktails!

Yakitori always makes fun and it's pretty tasty at momo. the problem is only too expensive. they removed the option to order most sticks a la cart, and instead they make a lot of 5 sticks for 20ish bucks order. that is 4 dollar a stock! for two of us to get a cocktail each and only enough food to be full was 70 dollar per person (including tipp). that's too much money for yakitori. they also lack a Japanese macro drafts such as asahi or sapporo; that seems like a must-have companion to yakitori! the appetizers, at 4 pieces, were more favorable, and the tomats in that were really great. I always see that they post about Japanese snacks and bar foods that they have provided in the bar below (e.g. onigiri, yakisoba), but we said they were only in the bar when we were there on a Friday night. if they start to have bar food more consistent, I would come back for drinks and snacks, but I don't see myself coming back for the overpriced yakitori, as delicious as it was.

We spent more than $100 here for two of us dinner and only one drink each and we ended up starving! for example, was I buried when they came to us two grilled chicken wings for $18?! I have traveled to japan several times in the last 20 years and yakatori is typically considered cheap street food. my dining room partner noticed that everything tasted the same and I assume I must admit that it did!
