Was craving momos and this place was open the earliest! They were still serving breakfast until 11 but kindly accommodated our request to order momos at 10:45am. We tried the fried chicken momo the steamed beef momo. This was plenty of food for two people! Both were extremely juicy! The beef momo was my favorite, it was so juicy it reminded me of a soup dumpling. The skin was perfectly chewy and not too thick. Very solid choice for momos and the staff are very nice!

Going here for a very long time, but finally got time to write a review. They have small limited seating area. They have a huge juicy tibetan momos. I especially like their c momo which is deepfried and mixed in with the spicy sauce. I am not a fan of their other dishes beside tibetan. But, their tibetan dishes always hits the spot. Service is great, fast and very nice people. If you can't handle the spice then beware of ordering spicy tibetan dishes.

Food 9/10 Those momos were so so juicy and BIG. I was shocked. I think this was the first time I've ever had momos, so I was in for a beautiful meal. Their friend momos were also good, but they were dumpling shaped rather than soup dumpling round shaped. Still good, but I preferred the steamed ones. Beware, their spice is truly spicy. We ordered the cold cucumber and also mung bean noodles, and both absolutely destroyed me in their explosive flavor but also deadly spice. I kept on wanting more but my tears were welling up and nose started sniffling. I think the owner / host saw me and it was kind of funny because she kept on refilling my water. Atmosphere 8/10 A very homey local restaurant vibe in Elmhurst. Felt like a neighborhood restaurant, and I love that. Service 8/10 Great service, nothing to complain about!

At first a bit worried bc $10 seems a bit pricey for momos, but these were HUGE! The meat filling is really big and really flavorful and was also super juicy on the inside. The skin itself was not bad but some momos had quite a thick skin so some parts were quite doughy. This also came with a delicious spicy sauce that is actually really spicy and gives and extra punch of heat to the dish. Overall really impressed and totally understand why they'd been rated best momos in Jackson Heights! Had to wait 10 minutes for the momos, but at least you know it's made fresh. Loved the calming music and scent of incense in this restaurant as well.

A solid Tibetan restaurant in Jackson heights! I can see why the won the momo walk twice! Food: I loved the spicy chicken momos - honestly the best thing we ordered! The Singaporean noodles with chicken was also delicious and very flavorful - full of veggies! The vegetable noodles were also solid! The paneer chili was well made but the paneer itself lacked flavor! the Himalayan Thalia offered a few different things including a fondue - esque dip, fried dough, and potato, bean soup! I was not a fan and won't order this again. The veggie dumplings with potato, cheese and spinach wasn't my favorite - it was a bit sweet, which I found odd Service: great service! The space is small but packed and our waitress was lovely! Ambience: small but ample seating with outdoor and indoor seating! Nothing special! Price: for the portion sizes - great price

If you didn't know, this place has been 2022 and 2023 Momo Crawl Winner, so that says something. Of course when my friends and I arrived, we knew we had to try the momos. But I thought it wouldn't be filling enough, so we decided to order a serving of the dry noodles with beef. The server did recommend the noodle soup, but thought this would be a better option to share. BEEF MOMO I'm so glad that we got to try the beef momos. The size of the momo is bigger than your typical one, so I was impressed on first impression looks. Then we got to trying it out. When I bit into it, the soup flowed out. It is so juicy and packed inside. It is almost like a Tibetan soup dumpling in a way. The beef filling tasted different than what I expected (in a good way). It was super delicious. It definitely lived up to its winner crown. This is a solid, solid choice. My friends and I were all super impressed. I would honestly come back to try their chicken and chives momo knowing that it would be great as well. NOODLES WITH BEEF The noodles were kind of thin & stretchy. The beef strips were thin. It was like your typical beef noodles. There's a variety of vegetables inside including scallions, carrots and cabbage. It's not too filling but too small either. It would be a good side supplement to another dish, so ordering this and momo was perfect for us.

Place is small with only 3 tables but the traditional momos are absolutely delicious! I got the steamed chicken momos and beef momos....yummy! I also tried the vegetarian steam momos and vegetarian fried momos ...both also delicious but I definitely preferred the fried ones better. The sauce they give you is SPICY but pairs well with the momos. They were decent sized, stuffed well and very filling. Their momos won first place for the last 2 momo crawls and I can see why. Definitely would get again, mouth is salivating just from writing this review lol. Note: they charge a convenience fee on top of taxes if you use a credit card so cash is preferred

This is the best spot for momos that I know of - and I have been to about 6-7 in Jackson Heights. Every year-ish, there's this super cool festival called the Momo Crawl - where you can get momos at all participating restaurants for $1 each. We went 1-2 years back and saw gigantic lines outside the door of all of the most popular spots along Roosevelt Ave. The only reason we came HERE was because it was new, relatively unknown, and had zero line by their Momo table outside their restaurant. And because one of the event organizers suggested it as a well-kept secret compared to the other spots. Boy were they right. It was almost a mistake to start from this spot, for the Momo Crawl, because it's better BY FAR than any other spot in a 2-mile radius. Absolutely delicious, juicy, fresh momos for cheap prices (crawl or no crawl), with optional spicy sauce to add some kick to them. They come in steamed or fried options, either which are excellent. They won the Momo Crawl unsurprisingly, and I've come back several times since then. I'm tempted to go there just while writing this review, to be honest. One of my favorite spots to hit up in Queens.
