There’s something special about handcrafted noodles and beautifully made dumplings. And you’ll find both at Momo Mee, a staple eatery in 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 fried rice, steamed buns and ramen, diners will also find more adventurous dishes like Korean Jjampong, Thai gang ped and xiao long bao (soup dumplings).
Suprise. They’re all delicious.
