As the name suggests, it is a very small establishment with only two tables inside, and one small table outside. The exterior looks old and kind of deserted, but the interior is unassuming and clean.
I ordered Beef Momo (Steamed, take-out, 10 pcs $11.99). Observing the momos taken out from the hot steamer, and holding the hot container in the hand gives me a quiet excitement!
The wrapper was excellent, bringing out the rich wheat flavor. Not too thick, not too thin, sealing the stuffing perfectly.
But the stuffing (beef) had full of sinews and was hard to chew. The texture was not smooth and left an unpleasant aftertaste. The seasoning was somewhat lacking.
While I was waiting for the order, I realized that this place serves mixed momo with different kinds to try! I did not know this option until I came in here. I ordered by phone, looking at the menu available online which shows a limited menu. I want to try this mixed momo and "spinach momo" that you don't see online.
The service was super polite and nice. I want to come back.
