A new spot to score poke and ramen has debuted in the neighborhood. Located at 632 S. Carrollton Ave. in Leonidas, the newcomer is called Momo Ramen + Poke.
The latest project from restaurateur Tony Zheng, it serves up poke in assembly-line, fast-casual style upstairs, while downstairs you can enjoy sit-down service with a full menu, according to Gambit.
Menu offerings include miso-crusted bone marrow, steamed pork belly buns and bang bang shrimp. A variety of ramen options are available as well such as seafood miso and smoked brisket.
The fresh addition has received mixed reviews thus far, with a three-star rating out of 49 reviews on Yelp.
Kevin L., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on April 17, said: "First time here and I have to say that everything we tried was delicious! We had the bang bang shrimp, dumplings, baked oyster, crawfish spring roll, edamame, pork belly buns, chicken karage, calamari, and half-priced mojitos!"
Yelper Galen H. added: “Momo is by far my new favorite restaurant in New Orleans. At this point, I have tried probably everything on the menu that has even remotely appealed to me and it has all been pretty fantastic. The poke is amazing. The fish is incredibly fresh and very well cut. The crawfish spring rolls are fantastic. The flavor variety is diverse and excellent.”
And Aditya B. said: "The best ramen I've had. Great service. Amazing flavors. Very accommodating for food allergies. Ambience was great too. Thank you for a wonderful experience Momo team!"
