Wow!! Haven’t been this impressed in a local restaurant like this in a long time! The outside is unassuming, but once you go inside, the owner is welcoming and invites you to take a seat and order at the counter. The ambiance is of the mountains of Nepal, quite unique! The owner thoughtfully helped us pick a variety of dishes with different tastes- we ordered the chatpate momo, jhol/steamed momo, crispy pork belly, chili chicken, and strawberry lassi. The chatpate momo was deep fried and crispy with bean sprouts- delicious. The chili chicken made my Indian husband very happy- we have tried this all over the US and haven’t found a flavor that’s this tasty, the meat was also juicy. The pork belly had a wonderfully chargrilled taste, crispy and satisfying without being dry. The owner showed us how to eat the jhol momo while also trying the momo plain with sauce. The skin was so nice and thin and the filling was well seasoned and juicy. I highly recommend this! The strawberry lassi was made with fresh strawberries. All the staff were so kind and respectful, I felt I was at a relative’s house enjoying their cooking. Portions were generous and affordable. We will be back 100%!
Update 4/27/25: These momos are just as great as my first time! In the past year we’ve traveled to many places including California, Boston, India, and China and haven’t found any momos as good as Mom’s MoMo. The jhol momo especially is outstanding and you can’t help but drinking the jhol. We also tried the jhaneko momo and it was beautifully pan fried with bell peppers and onions, and the crispy spiral potatoes were fried perfectly, with light batter and seasoning. We were so touched the owner remembered us and the staff were all so pleasant and respectful. I also loved the complimentary water bottles. Can’t wait to come back!
