I've walked by Momen Tea several times and always assumed it was just a bubble tea shop before seeing their Poke bowl come up on MealPal. I ordered the tofu shiitake poke bowl and it was HUGE. A very hefty portion filled to the brim with rice and super fresh toppings. I really liked it, everything was flavorful and even the avocado was ripe (which can be rare). Only part I didn't love was the tofu. It was a little soggy and cold, with a sort of weird un-tofu like taste. Would recommend for a grab and go lunch! Not must seating inside, but no line at prime lunch time on a Wednesday. Service was fast and the man checking me out was courteous and helpful.

So so good. I haven't had a poke bowl this satisfying in a while. Everything tasted fresh and the portions were perfect. The service was quick. This was a very satisfying quick and easy meal on the go.

Surprisingly pretty good Poke. Was not expecting it out of a random find but quality food. Would definitely come back again

Momentea Kitchen has been open since 2018, and I'm so happy to have them for all my teenagers. I'm also very glad they were able to reopen after the old building collapse. They've now moved to 206 W 14th St, and we're excited to keep supporting them!

I've been eating at MomenTea since 2018 at their first location, right by the subway corner. I've always loved their food and friendly service. I'm so happy and proud to see them reopen after the old building collapsed. I will continue to support them forever!

TLDR - this place is great for the area which is lacking asian fare, and is ambitious with its large menu of authentic asian items, but you can probably find better versions of each of their items elsewhere. If you work in the area this is a great spot to check out. YUZU CITRUS SALMON POKE BOWL Not bad - I'm not sure they use sushi rice for this but it was nice, citrusy, sweet from the mango and the fish quality they use isn't bad at all. Pretty good flavors for a quick poke but nothing super authentic or dedicated to poke. GALAXY YOGURT DRINK This I actually really liked, their bubble tea is pretty on par for other bubble tea spots and they have cool interesting flavor combos so take advantage of that. The butterfly pea was nice and subtle and the yakult was that nice sweet tangy flavor that you know and love. TAIWANESE FRIED CHICKEN - a little dry, not super basily tasting and kinda small pieces (frittery) but enjoyable. Comes with spicy mayo. CHILI OIL WONTONS They do kind of a solid job with this, nicely decorated, the heat doesn't pack too big of a punch (get extra if you need) and it's definitely from a bag of frozen wontons but it comes out kind tasty especially with the chili oil and the filling amount isn't bad. Black sesame seeds on top are a nice touch. I'm really glad this area is providing a much needed asian food presence in Greenwich Village.

Thai Milk Tea and milk tea with boba! Boba was just okay, not the chewiest.

Annie B.

Came here for late night boba, and it didn't disappoint! The boba balls weren't the chewiest, but the drinks were very yummy. You can order ahead using the kiosk, and the drinks came out quickly. They also have many other options like poke bowls! Overall, pretty good boba and a cute restaurant with plenty of indoor seating!

Visiting from California. Came here cuz it was recommended on Yelp. Ordered large Thai tea for $7 and there was barely any drink in there. I couldn't even punch my straw in because there was so much ice from top to bottom. I went back to complain but they said to ask for less ice next time and wouldn't make me a new one. The thing is I never asked for large ice cubes and how was I suppose to know they were going to do this to me. The amount of drink in there was not even a large or regular. Probably not even a small either. Other than that the drink tasted good. So one extra star for that.

This is definitely my daily restaurant. Great value and friendly staff. The sushi is always fresh made. I came frequently in summer for bobas too

Jonghan L.

Love the cute concept that MomenTea is going for here! Nestled right by the 14th street 1 train subway entrance, Momentea serves both boba, sushi, sushiritto, poke bowls, and a ton of different fruity flavored drinks. Was thinking for a casual spot for date night, and boy Momentea was right smack on my radar. Came here at 630pm on a Thursday night, restaurant wasn't too packed and we had prior reservations for the night. We ordered the following: Hawaiian special, moment special, a large matcha latte cheese foam, and I got the galaxy yogurt drink. AMBIANCE: As I mentioned previously, Momentea is a casual shop that happens to sell an assortment of fruity drinks, boba, and pokes. Store front isn't too big, but there are a few tables for one to sit down and eat. PROS: Love how fresh the food came out! For the moment special, I got mine on a bed of salad - salad was fresh, zesty, tangy, and the toppings that go on top really compliment the overall texture of the bowl. I really liked the spicy mayo that it came with, and the house vinegarette and soy sauce pairs really well with the fish in the bowl. She enjoyed her Hawaiian special and complimented how refreshing it is to eat. The drinks were spectacularly made. The matcha cheese foam tea was fantastic. Matcha flavor wasn't too overpowering, the milk and foam wasn't too chalky. I do wish though next time they don't mix in the foam, since some people would prefer drinking the tea and the cheese foam separately, but that's just a minor issue. The galaxy yogurt drink I got was spectacular as well! I loved how it sat on a bed of mango jelly, and the colors really give off a warm and welcoming vibe. You can also do full customization of the drinks in terms of sugar and sweetness level, as expected for any major boba player here. Last but not least the owner Katrina swung by and introduced the concept of the restaurant to us. She's such a sweet person, and shout outs to you for making our experience last night incredible! Looking forward to great things with your new restaurant businesses! OVERALL: Loved the concept, food, and drinks at Momentea. Its a pity that we didn't get to try everything else on the menu, but hey that's what a visit in the future is necessary for!

Hey that's like me on the left and your boyfriend on the right!

Let me tell you all about a place that's FRIENDLY So much so that if I was on facebook they'd FRIEND ME If I got attacked on Yelp Talk they'd DEFEND ME That's why I love getting Boba at MOMENTEA Before I tried boba here my life felt EMPTY So did my tummy even though I'd eaten PLENTY Hated Starbucks, even their Mocha Frappe VENTI But then my life changed when I came and tried MOMENTEA Got a job as a guard, official title SENTRY Rubbed shoulders with the rich, Baronesses and the GENTRY Stopped letting men do me for $ ("my butt's NO ENTRY!") All of this because I got Boba at MOMENTEA Now I'm gonna open all the fan mail that you SENT ME And throw out all the hate mail from the haters who RESENT ME Ignore all the gross requests from men who used to RENT ME Instead I will go and get more boba from MOMENTEA WHAT My notes said: Momentea.. Boo fruit, yay milk yum changed 50, very friendly both times, poke and honey lemon black next time. I'm as in the dark as you are about these notes, but I think it meant I hated the fruit green tea they persuaded me to get (but I hate most green teas), but loved the milk tea and that they changed a $50 for me and were very friendly. They sell Poke, which I haven't tried, and I did go back twice after this and got more great milk teas and amazing Lemon Black tea. Definitely one of my favourite bubble tea shops in New York City and I can't wait to come back to try some other fruity black teas. The first time they insisted that I try their fresh fruit drink and it's made with green tea and I didn't like it at all. Luckily I gave them another chance and I picked what I actually wanted which was to try their regular black milk tea which is absolutely spectacular and creamy and perfect and up there with the best boba in town such as Yi Fang, Moge, Mi Tea and Boba Guys. So I will definitely be back and I'm looking forward to it. A special mention to them because they are so incredibly friendly and they also changed a $50 bill for me which most people in lower Manhattan will absolutely not do. Parking is a nightmare here but I love it and will be bringing Barbie here at her earliest convenience. And she is pretty convenient in terms of, she's a nympho and I'm, well, you know. And my cats love it here too. Oh wait that's Meowmentea.

Dan L.

Although this place has Tea in the name and has a lot of great drinks, it's probably also the best Poke place in the neighborhood. They're very generous with the poke, the fish tastes fresh, and the prices are reasonable. There's not much seating, but if you don't mind eating outside, you can walk two short blocks down to the park at 12 St. and 7th Ave. or one short block down and one long block west to Jackson Square.

I came here a couple time because Its super close to my house. The first couple time is good. I love their peach tea. But the last two time, its getting worse. The girl work there doesnt pay attention to my other. One time i came a order my oolong tea w boba, and she gave me one without. She have to make it again. And it took her 15 minutes to make the second one, because she is the only one there. The second time i came back order the same cold oolong tea, they make a hot oolong tea instead. So they have to make it again. They are super slow. And it such a waste of time. read more

This place is a good spot for doing work if you are in search of a cafe other than Starbucks or small places with not enough seating. There is wifi here but no outlets, so come with a charged device if you plan to work. The sushi rolls are pretty flavorful as they have more sushi rice vinegar, which I prefer! The drinks there are definitely on the sweeter side, I would usually get less sugar/sweetness (~70% or 50%) at places such as Gongcha, CoCo, and other boba places but this place I would get 30% or none at all. read more

Great spicy tuna poke bowl! Though the taste was great, compared to most other poke places in the city, I thought there was too much rice and too little portion of toppings. It's cool that they also serve boba/drinks, so it's convenient to have everything in one place. I can't say it's my favorite poke place, but it's a great go-to for lunch. read more

Very comfortable, clean & colorful environment. Every item looked so impressive it was difficult to make a selection as a first timer. As my thirst quencher I selected a large Pineapple Green Tea & could not resist the menu description of the Salmon Burrito. I am very happy that by chance I found Momentea because they made a great positive impression. The Salmon Burrito was delicious and the Pineapple Green Tea was the perfect choice, I loved it.

The soup was nothing special, so I think I'd opt for a side salad next time instead. The bowl was packed with an impressive variety of toppings, including salmon, peanuts, fried onions, avocado, oshinko, tamago, and seaweed salad, all topped with a sesame dressing. While I appreciated the generous portions and the freshness of the salmon and vegetables, the bowl felt a bit heavy overall. There was a lot going on, and I found the amount of fried onions and peanuts to be more than necessary. The sesame dressing was tasty, though there was a bit too much of it for my preference. I also noticed that the tamago and seaweed salad tasted premade and a bit sugary, which took away from the light, fresh quality I usually look for in sushi. However, I know that sweetness is fairly common for those ingredients, and I think many people would like this hearty style of poke. Since the fish itself was fresh, I would happily order from here again and will round up to 4 stars, though I'll stick to their regular rolls next time to keep things a bit lighter.

Too hot to eat anything big so just got a snack sized portion…read more There is different sizes with different portion amounts. Snack is the smallest portion with 1 protein. There are cooked proteins too, not juat raw fish. I made my own bowl of tuna, brown rice, kimchi, mango, edamame, etc. As for sauces, I had their signature sauce. Bowl was made quick. I dined in as there were a few seats. Bowl was tasty. Tuna tasted fresh with no fishy taste. Liked how the other ingredients and sauce mixed in well.

The ambiance is chill but on the go. Had around 12 stools to sit on and partial booth seating plus…read more2 tables outside. I got 2 proteins: spicy salmon and crab meat with all the veggie/fruit toppings except kimchi over a base of salad. The staff were very patient in explaining all their different options (hot proteins and cold proteins). I love how colorful the bowl turned out to be with edamame, corn, sweet mango, onion, striped of seaweed, tomatoes and lettuce. I like how you can get a smaller portion -one protein or a large portion -3 proteins. The only downside is it can be high on sodium with the sauce. However, its extremely flavorful and I would definitely go back. Around $17.81 with tax for two proteins over salad. I believe there is a upcharge for Avocado. The best part is feeling you've eaten your veggies for the day.

The prices were actually pretty fair for NYC, especially compared to a lot of poke places that charge crazy amounts for tiny portions. The bowls felt filling, customizable, and overall worth it. The fish tasted semi fresh, not the freshest poke I've ever had, but definitely good enough to satisfy the craving without feeling sketchy. What I liked most was that it felt dependable. Quick service, good portion sizes, and enough topping/sauce options to make the bowl enjoyable without overcomplicating things!

At first glance, it seems as if this place was popular for takeout. There were not a lot of people dining in. I am not sure if I've been charged more for my bowl, but my bowl was $1 more than the listed price on the menu. No biggie, it still tastes pretty good. Here's my complaint. There was only one choice of protein but there was only around 3 pieces??? Most of the bowl consisted of seaweed salad and rice. Due to the inadequate amount of protein/meat, I cannot justify the cost of $18.60(tax included) for a bowl.

Hamburger America

They don't rely on a laundry list of fancy toppings to hide behind; it's just the basics, executed flawlessly. I really appreciated that they keep it simple, giving you the choice of onion or no onion, letting the quality of the beef and the perfect sear speak for itself. Logistically, it's first-come, first-served seating where you're given a number. It wasn't too busy when I stopped by, so the process was seamless and quick. It's hard to imagine how they could make this any better without fundamentally changing what a smash burger is supposed to be. If you appreciate the classics done right, this is an absolute must-visit in NYC.

It was busy but not overcrowded, and we found a table outside. When you arrive, you order at the counter inside, receive a number, and then find a seat while your meal is prepared fresh. A server brings your food to your table once it is ready, it only took about 5-7 minutes for our food to arrive. I ordered the "All the Way" burger, their classic smash burger with mustard, diced onions, dill pickles, and cheese, along with fries and a gluten-free bun. The total came to about $17, including tax and tip. The burger was delicious. Smash burgers are my favorite, and this one was cooked perfectly with crispy edges while still moist. I also really appreciate that they offer a gluten-free bun. The burger and fries were a satisfying portion without feeling overly heavy. This is a casual spot, but it consistently delivers delicious food at a reasonable price. If you are looking for a classic smash burger in the neighborhood, I would recommend. I will certainly be back!

I ordered Salmon hand roll which comes WITH avocado or cucumber originally but the cashier never asked me so I ate it not knowing and later on I found out the fact, then I asked her why's that and she just said if customers don't say anything it's served without anything. Wah??? then why did you guys put with options? no asking things to customers? Seems so shady!I don't get it. She didn't even say sorry or explain enough. I felt bad even though this is not a big of deal it's just their attitude and about work-ethic. It's a small thing but such neglectful! Won't go back there. Even the roll was just ok and small portion. read more
