Best Korean Restaurants in Tenleytown

My husband and I came for Valentine’s Day. We don’t drink alcohol but the host gifted us each a mock-tail drink. They both were wonderful. We got the pre-fix course. Got mushrooms for the appetizer, it was great, 8/10. And for the side we got the cod roe toast, it was good but not outstanding like the other dishes. For the savory dishes we got the beef fried rice 10/10, and the spicy mixed buckwheat noodles. 10/10. My husband lovvvved them. The meat were also grilled to perfection. Our favorites were galbi and tri-tip! For desserts, we got yuzu cheesecake, and the bingsu, they were both okay. Before tips it was total of $175. Honestly, it’s not a cheap meal, but it was worth every penny. Our server wasn’t the warmest but the service was very quick and attentive. So no complaints. I recommend this place to everyone!

Upon arrival the staff is super welcoming with smiles (loved it). Very cute intimate spot. As soon as seated our server had waters on the table. Was also very grateful for his attention to us && dietary restrictions mentioned when acquiring about a dish substitutions but not actually saying. My girlfriend said the chicken wings were bomb. I got the veggie mandu fried && they were packed && meaty. For my dish I tried something different but really enjoyed it ! Dessert was highlight of the meal though! the croiffle was out this world. Almost had to get one to go! i will be back for that && the fresh gnger beer.

Amazing time. The team was excellent checking in on us and the food was incredible. We will be back as my partner has been here with her family since 16

My wife and I had the pleasure of meeting Chef Lee, who was incredibly kind and took the time to personally greet everyone. The staff were just as welcoming, demonstrating excellent communication and attentiveness. The atmosphere struck a perfect balance between modern elegance and cozy warmth. The course meal exceeded all expectations—each dish was thoughtfully designed with exceptional taste, creativity, and a seamless flow of service. The alcohol pairing was also expertly curated, enhancing the overall experience. What stood out most was Chef Lee’s dedication to sustainability in his restaurant. I recommend visiting the website prior to your visit to understand his intent with the non-profit org. His vision is truly inspiring, and I deeply respect his ambition. Highly recommended to everyone. - Isaac

This was my second time at Momo. The menu is Korean fried chicken and assorted North Asian dishes such as bimibap, a shellfish ramen, yakisoba and a few others. The food is quite good and moderately priced. The manager served us which suggests that it, like many restaurants, is a bit short on help, but the food did arrive promptly. It is within easy walking distance of Arena Stage and is quite moderately priced. We will go back
