Delicious food and the staff is very friendly. It’s always clean and a nice place to study. Lots of low cost options for a quick snack. I also had the chai and it was perfect, not too sweet.

Has some outdoor seating. Good selection of pastries. Americano was decent. Dogs arent allowed inside, so plan accordingly.

Great spot for coffee, sweet and savory bites, and Asian market items! All the food items Ive tried have been delicious, especially liked the bao, furi tots, siu mai, and beef puff. Theres a nice variety of Japanese, Hawaiian, and Chinese influenced dishes as well as European-style coffee and pastries. This morning I stopped in for a latte and also picked up a bottle of Sriracha for home. A unique and eclectic cafe!

2023 UPDATE -Oki Momo is not dead, much of that amazingness just moved across the parking lot to Oki Kohi and its even better than Oki Momo was.... Shhhhh tell everyone! Also if you live in LoBro and dont know theres respectable espresso available to you right outside your front door, what are you doing with your life?New items such as the Taiwanese Braised Beef Noodle Stew, a whole host of curry and noodle dishes, lots of veg/vegan options (YES the Oki Momo wings are still here) and in general what I feel are higher quality SE Asian inspired dishes at a fair price are all here. Plus good coffee!Please give this place a try, this is one of SLOs treasures.--Original review from 2021:When times are tough, I really respect the people who in those times choose to be the most daring, the most innovative. We have a little bit of that going on here. First, Anna is a class act. Full Stop. One time I got cut off on hold to put a pick-up order in at Oki Momo, she called me back and apologized. One time an order took too long because they got slammed at dinner, she gave my wife a free desert. This place makes it right before you ever have to ask them to. Everyone who works in these places is awesome and deserves our support.Oki Kohi now extends the amazingness of Oki Momo a whole 15 steps across the street to reliable coffee spot that serves a good bit of the surrounding neighborhoods and nearby condos but also offers an extended variety of Dim Sum style fare. Think Asian small plates like dumplings, meat filled buns, rice dishes, noodles and puff pastries. Something small but very filling that will get you through the day, especially in the AM. Its a welcome alternative to the western bacon and eggs breakfast paradigm.In true Oki Momo excellence, the dishes did not disappoint. First the coffee is definitely on point. Full espresso service here. The Iced Americano was smooth and balanced without being weak or watered down. Oki Momo thinks about Vegans and vegetarians, thus offering many of these dishes in Vegan alternatives. That said, The Beef Curry Puff Pastry (which again, can be vegan) was STELLAR, that brought me right back to a China Trip. The Bao Buns were just as I remember them as well. Considering Asian breakfasts are BY FAR my favorite breakfasts, I think its safe to say Ill be back. Im going for the noodles next!Thanks Oki Momo / Oki Kohi for making SLO awesome. This Oki Momo / Oki Kohi group is easily one of the top three places I always recommend people go.

Ive tried several times to get taro buns. 1st time the owner was visibly stressed out and rushed our order and didnt have the Taro buns available. 2nd time same owner was irritable and said they only had two and said that I had to call 20 minutes ahead. 3rd time I did as the owner asked and called my order in ahead of time. The same person asked several times if I wanted Taro each time I said YES. Got there picked up my order, got home and they were the pork buns. Why do have a business if it clearly stresses you out?

One of my favorite places to get coffee and a little something to eat. Chill atmosphere and the people who work there are friendly. Excellent espresso drinks, delicious pork buns with a good meat/bun ratio. The cold sesame noodles are great too. I’m excited to try the egg drop soup and Peruvian stew on their menu next time I come in. Make sure to stop by if you’re in the neighborhood!

Cute atmosphere and super quick, friendly service. Very reasonably priced. I got the pork bao bun and a cappuccino which were both great. Sesame noodles were good as well.

Very mediocre dim sum and unfriendly owner. If you’ve had real dim sum before, you’ll be disappointed here. Egg tarts were especially sad: thick, soggy, store-bought crescent roll dough with a tiny bit of filling. Curry filled bread also had the same soggy crescent roll shell with a tiny amount of filling. Eddie (owner?) also wasn’t friendly. No “hello,” “thanks for coming in,” “sorry we’re out of those,” and not even eye contact when he came out to tell the cashier they were out of items we ordered. Cashier was fine.

Great coffee, great food. Had the Japanese curry with chicken and the side salad and it was the best lunch I’d had in awhile. Super satisfying and a delicious herby dressing.
