NY Lhasa Liang Fen

Trying Out Tibetan Food: Lhasa White Liang Fan, Then Thuk Soup and Spicy Momos. 🛎️ I tried some Tibetan dishes, and here’s my take on them. It was a mix of simple, comforting flavors and some exciting surprises. Lhasa White Liang Fan 🍝 This was my favorite dish! It’s a cold appetizer with jelly-like noodles, kind of like konjac but not exactly. The sauce was the perfect mix of salty and spicy, not too overwhelming, and I could probably drink it on its own. They added peanuts here too, which worked really well. Then Thuk Soup 🍜 This soup had a light, lemon-grassy flavor that was really refreshing. The broth was a bit bland, but I didn’t mind—it felt clean and light. The beef slices, though, were small and not very many. I had to really dig around to find them, and they were a little tough. But honestly, that’s okay with me because it reminded me of the soups my grandma and mom used to make when I was younger. Spicy Momos 🥟🌶️ These dumplings were good. They felt lighter than Chinese dumplings because there wasn’t too much MSG or corn starch in the filling. The meat was juicy, and the skin was just the right thickness—not too thick, which I personally don’t like. I ordered the spicy version, and the sauce was great, a bit salty where you can only dip but not drink. The peanuts on top added a nice touch, which I really appreciated. It was a fun meal to try out! Then Thuk soup was comforting. White Liang Fan is the real highlight for me. I’d definitely recommend giving these a shot if you’re curious about Tibetan food. 👍

Disappointing Shabhaley and Poor Service I’ve ordered from this place before and stuck to their Laphing, which is honestly the only good thing they serve. But I made the mistake of trying something new this time, and I deeply regret it. I ordered the Shabhaley, thinking it might be better than what I had experienced in the past, but I was very wrong. When the Shabhaley arrived, it didn’t even look right—overly fried and falling apart. The dough broke as soon as I picked it up, and the taste was completely off. After just one bite, I let the server know that it wasn’t good, hoping to get a replacement or at least an alternative dish. Instead, I was told that no substitutions or refunds were possible because I had already touched it. I ended up sending the plate back after just that one bite and was still charged for it. As someone who works in the service industry, I know the importance of ensuring customers have a good experience. This place failed on both food and service. Charging someone for something they didn’t eat and not offering any solution is unacceptable. The staff didn’t seem to care at all about my experience. If you’re looking for Tibetan food, save yourself the trouble and go elsewhere. Or there is other Lhasa Leng feng near Elmhurst hospital. The only thing worth ordering from here is the Laphing, but even that doesn’t make up for the poor overall experience.

This is so embarrassing because why would you send this to your customer at all. I ordered momo and shabalay, momo was bit oily from the oil they used to steam but it fine. The shabalay tho was very sad lol. You can look at the picture below. It was firstly burnt and the meat to patty portion was crazy.

I came here on my NY trip and literally have been dreaming about the noodles I had there ever since. I believe it is called DanDan Noodles. The flavors were spot on. I had never had something like this even in Nepal. I would go back to NY just for this noodles. It was soooo amazing. Laphing was great too. The place is small but mighty. I wish I could get the recipe of the noodles!!

SEVERE FOOD HAZARD!!!! I ordered a take out and This place served raw chicken shyabhale when outside its fried and inside it was all raw chicken and we only realized after we ate half of it. This is a SERIOUS FOOD CONCERN AND VIOLATION OF FOOD SAFETY!!! Reporting it to the Food and Safety Department first thing in the morning! I do not feel well in my stomach.. hopefully i get recovered from it and praying it doesnt get worse!

Tibetan restaurant known for its juicy momo (dumplings). Highly recommend any of their momo. Fried momo with beef ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: super crispy outside while still being juicy inside with a good bite. Pairs really well with the chili oil they have. Lhasa Liang fen ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: if you love REALLY spicy food you'll love this. Super soft tender "noodles" in a super hot oil garnished with peanuts/scallions/chili oil. Another warning: it's really spicy.

Spectacular meal. Amazing momo, lhasa white liang, fen and Fen Wai Wai. Spicy, tingling, amazing. Generous portions, amazing food!

It is a small area but people were sharing table with strangers as well so it was apprecaited. Tried laphing after ages , it was really good 🤗🤗

I love love love this restaurant. I have been multiple times because I love the gobi manchurian (the cauliflower is soft, spicy, and delicious), the mapo tofu, and the dan dan noodles. While I don't like momos, I know friends that like them do enjoy them in this restaurant. This is no frills, there are a few tables, closing out & paying the bill can sometimes take a while, but the food is amazing. I would skip the Tibetan tea since it's tea leaves, yak butter, water, and salt unless you appreciate liquid butter, so I do wish they had more regional drinks, but the food is amazing. You can either pay in cash or Zelle.

First time having Tibetan food, which was amazing and a great experience. It was a bit on the spicy side, but had a soup and fried momo, one with beef and one with lamb. The skin of the momo was thin, but enough to contain the juice of the meat inside. The soup based momo was spicy, but rich in flavor and texture. It is perfect for the winter. Also had a fried dough on the side that had a slight sweetness to it, and is recommended to eat with various sauces. I would definitely come back for more momo in the future!

This place is popular. Patrons and travelers were coming in consistently for take away and dine in orders. The waitress was very friendly. Service is slow but due to how busy they are. The restaurant is average looking. It has a few sit down tables. I found the food to be okay. They weren't the best beef momos I've had and the soup needed more spices. It was a chicken broth soup with noodles but didn't have strong flavor. Our lemon tea was very good. The spicy sauces on the side are very spicy. I will say that the food did not sit well with us after we ate. Not sure why. Mera's Tip: tea time

I had a lhaphing with waiwai which i forgot to take a pic but its very delicious with the right amount of hot sauce and sesame blended well togather with wai wai noodle . This is a must try !!! Also their lemon tea is very nostalgic! If you folks are anywhere from boudha , you know that eccentric part of how everyone goes for a sip of tea or lemon tea after circumbulating in kora refreshes your soul and mind. They have exactly that tea here if you know you know !!! The chive momos were also really good , perfectly composed flavour with no much of over of anything. The momos tasted very healthy for me based on no much oil and salt. I loved it !! For anyone trying for a new place to eat tibetan food , this spot hits the light . Very nearby subway , friendly staff and kind owner . Highly recomme

Great momo jhol. I went on a "momo crawl" in the area and this was one of my favorite. The broth tastes more of a Chinese influence, somewhat like hot & sour soup, as opposed to the Indian flavor profile. Will definitely go back

AMAZING!! This place is a hidden gem . Right under the 74th street train station and perfectly situated in Jackson Heights. I had it during the Momo Crawl 2023. My favorite meal is the Chili Momos/C. Momo C. momo beef: chili momos fried with beef inside in a red sauce with chunks of green peppers . I ask for Less Spicy and it's perfect for me. You're missing out if you haven't had it yet! The service it quick and they take Zelle/card.

Their Dan Dan noodle is with udon noodle which is not what I expected, it tastes goodish, the guy in the front just accepted my change instead of asking

The food at this restaurant is simply delicious! Every bite was bursting with flavor and left us craving for more. Plus, it's super convenient - easy order, friendly staff, and quick service. A must - visit for the best dining experience. Highly recommended for a top - notch and authentic food. I personally love having Liang Fen, and noodles. Friends do visit this cute ambiance and small restaurant if you really want to try something delicious in Jackson high, New York.

Best food we've eaten on our trip. The honey chicken and the gobi Manchurian were amazing. Would come back every week (or more).

I don't live around this neighborhood, but it was worth coming to eat. MoMo and Shabaklep were terrific. Other food was good, which were lhasa noodle and Momo. Highly recommend! This is my 3rd time coming.

Makes me so mad. Just came home after ordering 3 veggie chives momo take out and it turns out they gave me all beef momos by mistake. I order from here all the time and it's a great place but they often give me the wrong order and that kind of carelessness and mistakes just really infuriates me. Wanted to call and report the wrong order but they never pick up the phone. What am I supposed to do!

I ate here twice while visiting NYC and food is Very Delicious. I see lots of local people eat here too. I will definitely eat here next time I visit NYC.

What a delicious, inexpensive, interesting meal in a totally delightful, colorful place! I had soup with bits of breaded chicken and thick noodles, and a plate of vegetable dumplings in a spicy tomato sauce. It was FANTASTIC, and I loved the orange on the walls, as well as the fascinating photographs of people and landscapes in Tibet. Super sweet people, too.
