| - Café Momoko is a neighborhood restaurant. So frankly it's pretty out of the way unless you live in the West Springs area in between Old Banff Coach Road and Bow Trail SW. If you find yourself in the hills one day, make the trek here. It's a cute little place with delicious food and the service is so welcoming.
I was first brought here by my boyfriend's family after they had purchased a Groupon or DealFind for this place. They had never been there either, but I guess the deal was amazing. They raved about the food after their visit, and insisted with join them the next time they went. The owner is Korean, and the food is a mix of Korean and Japanese. The menu has a mix of Korean BBQ, kimchi, and sushi on it. Order a mix. The sushi is basic, but delicious. It's simple, nothing fancy about the sushi rolls like you get with some bigger places downtown, but it's tasty, fresh made, and filling. The flavors work and it does the job. The Korean short ribs are also really delicious. They're sticky and smoky and flavorful. Match that with some kimchi and it all balances out nicely.
What we all liked the most about this place was the owner. His name escapes me right now, but I believe it's something like Muhn? He's so friendly and attentive. He truly wants you to enjoy your visit and your meal. We've come back here twice after long absences, and he remembers us every time. He's extremely nice and welcoming.
I definitely recommend people in the area support this small operation. They do take-out, so you can pick up dinner on your way home as well.
