Momona is a beloved Asian and Hawaiian spot in Chico, California that caught the attention of Guy Fieri and the crew behind Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Sadly, Momona has since permanently closed its doors.
The restaurant was featured in Season 29, Episode 20 — an episode called “Not Your Everyday Eats” that first aired in 2019.
With a solid 4.3-star Google rating and more than 500 reviews, it’s clear that Momona delivers a dining experience worth talking about. The menu is moderately priced, making it accessible for a casual meal or a special outing.
Being featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives is a major milestone for any restaurant. The show, hosted by Guy Fieri since 2007, has visited hundreds of restaurants across the country, shining a spotlight on the independent, owner-operated spots that define America’s food culture. For Momona, the DDD feature put Chico, California on the culinary map for viewers across the nation.
Although Momona is no longer serving customers, its appearance on DDD remains a lasting tribute to the food and the people who made it special.
