I really wanted to love Momo Mee, especially as someone who appreciates Asian cuisine and always roots for spots that offer a wide variety of dishes. But unfortunately, this visit just didn’t hit the mark for me.
There were a few miscommunications with the staff early on, which made the experience feel a little disjointed. That said, our server was incredibly kind and patient, and I really appreciated how accommodating the team was with my food allergies. They helped me find options I could safely enjoy, which I don’t take for granted.
As for the food, it was okay, but nothing stood out.
- The Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings) are one of their signature dishes, but the dough was thicker than expected and the filling wasn’t hot or juicy.
- The chicken wings were fine but forgettable… the sauce helped, but overall just average.
- The salt and pepper shrimp (made gluten-free for me) had a super thick, crunchy batter. The shrimp itself was okay, but the texture was overwhelming, and the side of rice was on the dry side.
- We also ordered two noodle dishes that honestly didn’t leave a strong impression - none of us at the table loved what we had.
Lastly, the bathroom could’ve been cleaner. The floor was slippery, and overall cleanliness was lacking a bit.
I genuinely appreciate the friendly service and allergy support, but I probably wouldn’t return based on the overall food and experience. There are other spots in Milwaukee I’d recommend first for Asian cuisine.
