My recent experience at Momo Cafe, focusing solely on their Bingsoo dessert, merits a glowing 5-star review. The Bingsoo was not only delicious but also showcased a delightful combination of flavors that made it a standout treat.The dessert's sweetness, while enjoyable, leaned slightly towards the intense side. If you have a sweet tooth, it's a perfect indulgence, but for those who prefer a milder sweetness, it might be a tad much. However, the overall taste and presentation were impressive, making it a delightful culinary experience.The servings were notably generous, ensuring that each bite was a satisfying mix of textures and flavors. Momo Cafe doesn't skimp on portion sizes, adding extra value to the delightful dessert.The atmosphere at Momo Cafe contributed significantly to the overall experience. It was fun, creating a lively and enjoyable setting that complemented the sweetness of the Bingsoo. The ambiance added an extra layer of enjoyment to the dining experience.In summary, Momo Cafe earns a solid 5-star rating for its delectable Bingsoo dessert. While the sweetness might be a bit intense for some, the generous servings, delicious taste, and fun atmosphere make it a must-try for dessert enthusiasts.

I had a small birthday celebration there with my friends. The rice with beef was good but I was a little surprised that there was no veggie. The photos of other rice from Google had bak choy so I thought every rice will some with a bit of it.

Drove up from Indy for a date night and stroll around campus. Noticed this relatively new Chinese cafe and decided to give it a go. Ordered: spicy beef & rice, curry chicken, mini hot pot, and shaved milk dessert with red bean and sticky rice ball. Everything tasted great...maybe a bit on the mild side but we didn't request la,la,la or mala so they didn't know what we like. The folks were nice and everything was prepared quickly. Good all around experience and will return.

We stopped here on a road trip to Chicago for a bite, and maybe I'm not giving Lafayette the cred it deserves, but I did not expect a place with such good food (both savory and sweet). We ordered a mango bingsoo to share, and it was huge (shared among 4 people and everyone was satisfied), not too sweet (the highest compliment I can pay to a dessert), and fresh. We also ordered a fried rice that tastes just like it does back home. Not drenched in soy sauce, and excellent wok hei. It took a while for the fried rice to come out but I'm 90% sure it was made to order (heard eggs being whisked), and it was made by the guy who also made the bingsoo. One person for both back of house and front of house is pretty crazy, but it worked. And he was super nice!Highly recommend.

If I wanted to eat with bugs I would have eaten outside. Nats dive bombing my food (wish I was exagerating). Bathroom was gross too. The soup tasted like watered down oil.

Don't order the hot pot food. It's way too watery. We ordered delivery and has no flavor compared to the actual traditional hot pot dish. Not close what it supposed to be.

LOVE their bingsoo. I've had the mango, taro, and soy milk balls one and the mango has been my favorite. Their takoyaki is also really good.

Delicious treats to share with someone made from thinly shaved cream. The ice is great, but be sure to try the "Mala" spicy hot pot and the curry pork rice!Parking: Awkward one way parking street in front.

Mango bingsoo is such a delicious and refreshing dessert. Very nice ambience and quick service. The portion is huge so two people can easily share it.
