   We were disappointed. They were out of many menu items which seemed odd early on a Saturday night. Including signature cocktails. The service was spotty. I Had trouble getting the waiter to make recommendations and his answers about the menu weren't helpful.

   Awesome experience! This was our second date night here. Short ribs for me and lamb chops for my wife. Everything was exceptional!

   I've been to Moi Moi at least 5 times and I'm never disappointed. The food and the atmosphere is always great. This time I had the beef short ribs and the jollof rice and both were delicious. The beef was extremely tender and the greens are so good. They have a smokey taste to them which I love, considering they don't have meat in them (I wasn't sure about this because my family is from the south)...you won't be upset. Jollof is one of my favorite West African dishes, and again, you won't be disappointed with this dish. It was very flavorful and the fish was cooked to perfection. The portion size is worth the value. I recommend anything on this menu.

    Food was fantastic - so much flavor - very different from anything I'd tried before. What really made the experience special was the staff and service. Everyone was so friendly and they really went above and beyond to make our evening special. They even shared some of the chef's tips with us so we could try making some dishes at home. Highly recommend.

    We were greeted with a warm smile at the door. The waitstaff were very attentive. The food arrived very quickly even though the restaurant was at about 70% capacity. Moi Moi made a great impression on my friend who was visiting from Ohio. I will most certainly go back there

    We got the seafood pasta and the domoda and both were utterly fantastic. The pasta was mellow and balanced amd noodles were done to perfection. The domoda wowed us with bold flavors and tender lamb… we still smile every time we talk about this meal. The place was lively and bright, and the drinks a little pricey, but overall we would go back again to try everything else on the menu. Thank you Moi Moi!

    I wanted everything on the menu but ended up getting pepper soup, catfish fingers, and the lamb chops. The pepper soup was delicious and hearty. I left nothing in the bowl. The catfish fingers were crunchy on the outside but soft and tender in the inside. They were fried to perfection. The lamb chops were thick cuts and slso cooked to perfection. They were tender, juicy, and flavorful. Their crab cake is nothing but crab meat, no filler, which was also a pleasant surprise. The molten chocolate lava cake was a perfect ending to the meal. Oh, and I can't forget the cocktail. I had the Mandingo Sidecar. It was the best sidecar I've had to date. Last but not least, the customer service was great! Our waitress Victoria was awesome! She was very attentive, as well as management.

    No. Identity. The peices don't fit unfortunately. The food is the best thing going on and it just can't stand out because the rest is wrong. 1. No signage outside to tell you name of restaurant or what door to use.. big turn off 2. Thursday evening... total of 3 tables from 6 to 7:30 3. Service was slow yet way too many front of the house staff and 'general manager' scowled slightly at us when we came in. No greetings, visits to the table, warm service at all 4. Not a fan of 'hard plastic' table #s on every table 5. Restaurant has no identity.. trying to be fancy, white table cloth on main street hip spot... what it should be...a small, cozy, off the beaten path warm environment where the food is the spotlight and you're free to be messy and use your fingers... which is what this food requires 6. There's just no 'vibe' .... and in the end, if you want to do white tablecloth, separate staff filling your water glasses then you need to bring it. Not slow service due to lack of teamwork in the front of the house, poor drink selection (no authentic African drinks and only beer was Heineken and Corona... now that's just a shame) and staff wearing leggings and a Hoodia :( And then to top it all off....a 'forced' 20% gratuity added to our bill for 2 of us. Sorry to be so harsh but drastic changes need to be made or they won't be here long. Which is a bummer to say as the chefs got a 'thing' going... but everything else is wrong.

    We were visiting Washington DC and found this place to try! We love the food but was not warned that it was super spicy! We felt rushed as we started our appetizers and the main course was immediately came out right after our appetizer! We even told the waitress that we will be eating appetizers first before our main course but apparently that didn’t happen. We definitely love the west African cuisine! Trying it for the first time

    First walking in Moi Moi, I was a bit surprise on how small the place was but the décor and staff was great. I made reservations and was sat as soon as I walk thru the door, while I was waiting for two more people from my party to show up. The waitress came right over and explain that she was the only one there to serve at the moment and she'll be right with us. She did indeed take our drink order first, before walking away. The atmosphere and the ambience of the Moi Moi was cozy and comfortable, and I Loved the hand painting of a Black King and Black Queen on the restroom doors plus the art work all around the restaurant. We order our food and it didn't take all day coming out, will say that my shrimp and grits could have been hotter. Other then that the drinks was on point and the food was too. I will be recommending this place to more people for sure.
