It’s a very simple yet pretty place. Has minimum decoration but it looks neat n clean. Service is fast n good momos we’re really good. They were with potato and Veges. A very different combo but would just slither in the mouth Service: Dine in Meal type: Brunch Price per person: $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4 Vegetarian offerings: Clearly labelled vegetarian dishes Vegetarian options: I only had vegetarian momos. But it seems their food is popular because my friend who is a local there took me only at one this place for momos

Whenever I touch base back to my second home this is my first spot. You don’t understand, this place is so good, as soon as I wake up I crave it and then have to wait the grueling hours before it’s open. I’m pretty basic and get the veggie momos with a cucumber salad but the last time I dine I had these pan fried momos that had this red sauce. It was really good. I can’t wait to come back Queens, I miss this place so much!! Service: Takeaway Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Hands down, being Tibetan myself this was by far the best MOMo l've had recently! The freshness of the ingredients and the unique flavors in MoMo were unlike any other and were unforgettable. I wish they are at Texas as well.. well will surely visit again when am Back to New York Again.. and Bartender/Cashier serves Best Mojitos and I really loved the fact that after the food and drinks were served the servers didn't bother us like how other Resturants do and always make us leave fast but here they let us take our time to enjoy the moment without disturbance and when raised hand they come right away.. and my kid really messed up the floor with her food but they were kind enough to stop my wife to clean after my kid, assuring they will clean up afterwards and let us enjoy.. Well recommended place from my friend to me and from me to anyone who wants to dine in.. Tashi Delek. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Price per person: $10–20

So good it almost feels it should be kept a secret. Get the spicy potatoes and the momos (and everything else, to be frank) Could easily call this my favorite NYC dining experience.

One of my go-to places when I 'm in Jackson Heights! Restaurant is located up a stairwell but there is another location close by. Absolute must-gets include the steamed beef momos, radish soup, and the shapaley. Their momos are freshly steamed and are always so juicy and flavorful. The radish soup is unlike anything I 've had before. It has a nice creamy consistency and contains a generous serving of beef and thinly sliced radish. Will be grateful if anyone can tell me what the mountain herbs i
