Fantastic Food and Friendly Service
My experience at Letina on South Market Street was fantastic! It's a really cool spot, and even though it was busy, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They even went the extra mile to give my granddaughter a little cup for water. The food was absolutely fantastic and super flavorful, with perfectly cooked pasta. While the restaurant was a bit dark, the portions were a great value for the price. I would definitely go back!

Amazing Salmon, Friendly Staff at Momona
My recent dinner experience at Momona in WA 98118 was quite busy, leading to a 20-minute wait for a table. However, the staff were incredibly friendly, making me feel almost like part of their family. I ordered the salmon, which was seriously amazing and packed with flavor. The portions were also a good value. A helpful tip: double-check their hours online, as Kenny mentioned they might be closed on Sundays despite the website indicating otherwise.

Intense Owner, Great Food, Parking Nightmare
I visited the place on Martin Luther King Jr Way and the parking situation was a nightmare. I witnessed an argument over parking behind the establishment. The owner seemed quite intense, and I overheard complaints about the staff being overly aggressive. However, the food itself looked really good, and people were raving about it. Clearer signage about parking rules might be helpful.

Interesting Ethiopian Experience at Momona
My experience at Momona in Seattle was quite interesting! The restaurant was packed when I arrived around 6: 30 pm. I found the injera to be a bit tangy, which was a learning curve, but I really loved the bread. The portions offered good value for the price. Finding parking was a bit tricky, requiring a walk of about a block. While I wished for a few more vegetarian options, it was an overall solid experience.

Restaurant closed during listed hours
I visited this restaurant on a Sunday at 4: 48 PM, expecting it to be open as per the listed operating hours. However, I found that they were closed. This indicates that the operating hours listed are incorrect.

Authentic Eritrean Delights and Sweet Service
My experience at Momona, a nice Eritrean restaurant, was wonderfully positive. The owner was very sweet, and the food was authentically delicious 👍🏽. My favorites included the salmon, pasta, alicha, and salad 🥗.

Horrible Parking Dispute and Rats
My experience at this restaurant was incredibly negative due to a parking dispute and concerns about cleanliness. The owner was extremely disrespectful, kicking us out of a public parking spot that they were not entitled to. They became aggressive, yelling at us and even threatening to call the cops, despite us agreeing to move. They nearly hit our car and then got angry at us for that. Even as we were trying to leave, they continued to threaten us. The owner seemed to believe they owned the public parking spot simply because it was in front of their establishment. Furthermore, I observed rats all around the restaurant, entering and exiting. I would absolutely not recommend this place.
