"Like the original Jackson Heights location, Lhasa on 1st Avenue and 11th Street serves a menu of excellent momos with both meat and vegetable fillings. You’ll also find some noodle dishes, like thenthuk with hand-ripped noodles and tons of beef. It’s understandably difficult to choose between momos here, so make it easy on yourself and get one of Lhasa’s combos." - will hartman, bryan kim, willa moore, kenny yang, neha talreja
"Like its Jackson Heights sister spot, Lhasa on 1st Avenue and 11th Street serves a menu of Tibetan momos with both meat and vegetable fillings, and doughy-thick wrappers. When it comes to choosing a snack, make it easy on yourself and get one of Lhasa’s combos. I always go for the non-veg combo, which comes with eight lightly-crisped dumplings filled respectively with chicken, beef, and beef and chive." - hannah albertine
"The original Lhasa in Jackson Heights is one of our favorite places in the city to eat momos, specifically of the beef and chive variety. So if you live anywhere near Lower Manhattan, consider Lhasa’s new East Village location a gift. Like the Jackson Heights spot, Lhasa on 1st Avenue and 11th Street serves a menu of excellent round dumplings with both meat and vegetable fillings. You’ll also find some noodle dishes and thenthuk (a hearty soup with a light brown broth and tons of beef and hand-ripped noodles)." - nikko duren
"There aren’t a ton of momos in Manhattan, but if you find yourself in the East Village and you simply must have them, go to Lhasa. Cozy and modern with lots of blonde wood and exposed brick, Lhasa feels like the ideal place for a low-key first date. It’s understandably difficult to choose between the options here, so make it easy on yourself and get one of Lhasa’s combos. We particularly like the non-veg combo, which comes with eight lightly crisped dumplings filled with chicken, beef, or beef and chive." - carina finn koeppicus, bryan kim
