Korean-style egg sandwiches are coming to Central Valley as chain opens first US locations
The Central Valley will soon be home to one of Momo Korean Egg Drop’s first sandwich shops in the United States.
The franchise, which specializes in Korean-style egg sandwiches, is opening a location at 959 West March Lane in Stockton, according to its U.S. website.
The site says the restaurant is “coming soon” but doesn’t given an official opening date for the Stockton spot.
Five friends started Momo Korean Egg Drop in the Philippines in August 2021, according to the chain’s website.
“Since most of us are K-drama fanatics, we decided to adopt one of the famous food featured in our favorite K-drama, the egg drop sandwich,” they said.
What are Korean egg sandwiches?
Korean egg drop sandwiches feature fluffy scrambled eggs and thick-cut bread.
At Momo, the sandwiches are made with milk bread, soft scrambled eggs and cheddar cheese.
The restaurant’s menu features different variations of the sandwich, such as the Seoul Spam, which has Spam, sliced mango and nori, and the Gwanju Bacon, which has thick-cut bacon.
The eatery also has egg sandwiches with beef bulgogi, chicken or ham.
Restaurant chain is opening more US locations
Momo Egg Drop will celebrate the grand opening of its first U.S. location — inside an Elk Grove tea shop — in June.
Other U.S. locations that are “hatching soon” include Martinez and Sunnyvale.
Outside of California, the chain plans to open a restaurant in Minneapolis.
