Review Momo Kuro - Johannesburg

Rouxna Strydom

I have been at Momo Kuro twice this month for dinner (Tuesday and Thursday night). The food is incredible and the views are great. There are quite a bit of stairs to get to the restaurant, but the restaurant, food and views are well worth it. I would suggest booking a table and having an early dinner (before 19:00) because the parking is limited and it tends to get very busy in the restaurant. The service I have experienced has been incredible and the manager, James, is on top of things. They don't have a liquor license, but they do allow you to bring your own alcoholic drinks/wine/champagne and provide you with wine glasses and champagne flutes. I cannot get enough of Momo Kuro!

I loved the food,the waitresses were friendly and really kept up checking,the prices are reasonable,we order three different meals so we can taste....loved their fried rice....I loved that could bring my own booze. Alot of stairs though.

Beautiful setting with tasty food that isn’t going to hurt the wallet. Momo definitely makes you want to keep eating more! I had the salmon ceviche tacos for starters which were fresh, crunchy and all-together packed with flavour. Then I had the colonel boa buns. They were made to perfection and I definitely felt completely satisfied after having them. Portions are great and service was good! Highly recommend visiting and finding parking in the parking lot. Also, no alcohol is sold but you can bring your own.

The food is so good. They don't have a liquor license but allow you to bring your own. Really lovely franchise. The Teriyaki salmon tartar is honestly the best thing on the menu.

Really enjoyed the dinner at Momo Kuro. Our waiter was very friendly. We ordered a number of dishes (probably a little too many) but most were very tasty. Nice venue, although a little hidden to find first time. The food did take a little while to arrive, and some dishes were better than others, but we still had a great time. I didn't see an elevator getting you to their entrance so might be a challenge for anyone with mobility limitations.

I love the Momo restaurants and Kuro is one of my favorites. There’s a lot of dim sum on the menu and loads of tapas, which I prefer instead the poke bowls. The firecracker chicken and firecracker prawns are some of my favorite dishes. This place is always busy so service can be a bit slow. I also found that seats and tables tend to be too close to each other, so if you can get a booth, opt for that. I went recently and noticed the menu has changed a little since it opened, and those savory veg pancakes don’t appear to come with dipping sauces anymore - tasted different too.

Well we read a lot of mixed reviews before going and I’m glad we chose to go based on the good ones. The food is impeccable presented, incredibly delicious and ridiculously well priced we shared 7 items off of and everyone was amazing. DimSum for me the favourite of the lot. The lamb is insanely hot. Proceed with caution!! The setting is stunning, decor what you’d expect and the fact there’s no corkage makes it a cool experience in that you can bring your own favourites and the bill seems that much cheaper. Service was average but not enough to demote that 5 star. Awesome spot. Must visit. Will definitely be back.

The sunset here was absolutely breathe taking. The service was a 10/10👌. I love the fact that you're allowed to bring your own alcohol because they don't serve any. The korean fried chicken wings? 11/10 and the fried chicken bao buns were so tender my gosh. The duck noodles were a little salty but yhey tasted good.

Ordered a variety of the foods that were available on the menu. However, the bao buns left us wanting more. We tried 2 different kinds and both were exceptional and arrived at our table steaming hot. The Turkish delight lemonade has also become my new favourite thing to drink. All in all this place has lovely modern interior with a lovely view and good food.

It's so hard to choose what to order, everything sounds delicious and what we did order was fantastic. Lovely sunset view too! . . . . . Bring your own booze, no fee charged 👌

Food and service is fantastic. The staff know their stuff. The views are exquisite. I loved the fact that the food is affordable and the portions big enough to share.

Delicious food (though it may take a while to arrive). Restaurant hidden in a corner not far from Lexi’s Health Eatery. Special thanks to Alfred, a polite and friendly waiter.
