The staff were a bit overwhelmed by the number of people wanting to eat but they handled it very well. They were very friendly and took time to explain the dishes. I have already recommended OMOMO to a friend.

Food is great as usual. Service was a bit off, we’ve been before and service has been excellent but this time there was no table for us despite booking and we were given a table and a time we had to be done by before we’d even sat down. Felt rather ignored by servers. However food was excellent as always and good value.not sure if they were just having an off day.

Food and hospitality was amazing. The food was presented really well in nice gold bowls which suited the ambience nicely and there was plenty of it. We were a work group of 6 and all the food came out together. The staff were very good with explanations to the menu and asking at the right times for drinks etc. our overall experience was 5 out of 5 and we will be returning to this hidden gem in the middle of Derby

We have eaten at Omomo before so knew it was very good. This time we ate before moving on to a concert so we’re aware of time constraints and mentioned this on booking. The staff reassured us we would have plenty of time and the service was quick, efficient and very friendly. They wished us well for the concert as we left.
Food was excellent as we have come to expect.
Lovely restaurant, lovely people. Highly recommended.

What a little Gem! Our first experience trying Korean street food. We have Been working past loads and finally was able to grab a table. Staff were attentive and very helpful, explaining the menu and given recommendations. The food was delicious and well worth the wait I feel. We will definitely be visiting again and also recommending this others.

Decent meal, but felt rushed
First visit to Omomo and had a lot of excitement after hearing good things. Arrived and told the waitress my name and booking time, was directed to a table and said we'd need to be quick and leave within the hour. I said this wouldn't work, and we were taken to another table which had my actual name on it!
Food orders were taken after around 2 minutes of being seated, we'd barely had chance to look at the menu. Despite the rush of the waitress, food took a long while to come for which the waitress apologised for.
Food finally arrived and the bibimbap arrived at a tepid temperature, which surprised me as it was supposedly just cooked, however it was well presented. The fried chicken was tasty with a crisp outer edge.
Waitresses were circling like vultures and empty dishes were being whipped away as soon as they were empty. I had to ask for my bowl to stay as I wasn't yet finished. As soon as I put the last bite into my mouth, there was the waitress to snatch the bowl from under me before I'd even started chewing.
If you after a swift and efficient Japanese style lunch which is very mechanical then this is the place for you. If you would like to have a nice meal over which you talk to your friends, family or significant other, then this is not the place to visit.

Lovely little restaurant with good food and great service. The only issue is the noisy sound reverberation - you can only hold a conversation with the person sitting next to you as you can't hear anyone further away. Maybe some soft furnishings, wall hangings and/or a suspended ceiling would help.
