By Prince Of Petworth


2214 Rhode Island Avenue, NE

“Momo Yakitori is a yakitori restaurant and bar in the Woodridge neighborhood of Northeast Washington, DC.

Yakitori is a type of Japanese skewered chicken. Our chicken is skewered with wooden or bamboo skewers, grilled over a binchotan charcoal grill and seasoned with a variety of house made sauces. At Momo Yakitori, we use Green Circle Chicken that is antibiotic, hormone-free chicken raised free range on a vegetable diet and certified humane.”

Ed. Note: This was previously the home to Nido and Lace on the Avenue before them.

Thanks to V.J. for sending from Momo Yakitori:

“Thank you for your support! We will be closing our doors at the end of the year. Our last day of service will be 12/29. We’d love to see you at least one more time!”
