This place does one thing and one thing perfectly. Delicious momos. These are some of the tastiest dumplings, and I mean that - not just momos, dumplings altogether, I've ever had. Granted, I have not been to Nepal or Tibet so my experience with Himalayan food is limited to what I can get here in NYC, but Jackson Heights has no shortage of this cuisine, and all I can say is as far as momos on their own go, unaccompanied by anything but a flavorful hot sauce and a subtly tart, cooling yogurt sauce, this is the best. Plain and simple. I had the beef and everything was delicious. I have not had beef cooked the way it was cooked here before. The mixture, the texture, the unique flavor of the juices all wrapped up in a tasty package, it's a perfect lunch. And 8 for $8. Quite the deal in this economy. read more

Great cabbage-centric vegetable momo that aren't too heavy. If you're not too into spicy, try 1 hot sauce to 3 white sauces. They never have bread although on the menu FYI. read more

Popular momo truck. The meats are also halal. We had the beef momos which were delicious but they were a bit cold since they weren't freshly steamed at the time we ordered. They only have steamed not fried. read more

This was my second stop on a Jackson Heights food crawl (after Merit Kabab Palace). The beef momo was soooo good and they give you white halal sauce which goes beautifully with the momo. Definitely some of the best momo I've had. read more

Ordered: Beef Momos (8pc for ~$7) Aya's take: First time trying proper momos and they did not disappoint! Momos are popular dumplings found in Tibetan and Nepali cuisine (maybe others too). They are typically steamed and filled with some kind of protein. We got the Beef Momos which had plenty of beef filling and the dumpling itself was a bit chewy but overall soft and easy to eat. The real flavor comes from the white sauce and chili sauce you can add to your liking. It gave the Momos a layer of depth it didn't have. Great try and great price! read more

Absolutely amazing. My only complaint is I live too far away or I'd eat it every day for every meal. The best momo in my opinion. read more

Hands down our pick for the winner at the 2024 12th annual momo crawl! Unfortunately,they did not win. The momos were perfectly steamed and the beef and veggie momos seasoned just right! The white sauce paired perfectfully, but still great just as is. Delicious and will definitely visit again. read more

This food truck serves some of the heartiest momo on the streets of Jackson Heights. We got 8 thick and meaty beef momo for $8 at Amdo Kitchen. The go-to sauces here are the red sauce and white sauce. The halal momo are complimented with a thicker, chewier dough than other momos - it takes me three bites to finish each one. Amdo Momo is a favorite for those looking for an authentic taste of Tibetan cuisine. Don't forget to ask for the side of radish! read more

If there were a zero-star option, this place would deserve it--because apparently, respecting who comes first is completely optional. Let me tell you my experience: I came here and ordered momo. The guy said, "Wait ten minutes," and I said, "Fine, I'll be right back." When I returned, there were still three minutes left, and the same one person ahead of me was getting served. I thought, "Perfect, my turn next." Nope. In those three minutes, three more people magically appeared out of nowhere, and he started handing out momo to them first. I waited patiently, assuming he must have a lot of orders ready. Finally, he says, "You said one, right?" I said, "No, I never said one--I'm only asking for the first time now. I need two, please." His response? "I only have one." I had walked all the way from Maspeth thinking I was about to have some decent momo... and this guy ruins everything. When I pointed out that I had been waiting first, he had no answer--just that smug "I'm being nice" attitude. At one point, I swear he sounded like he wanted to jump out of the truck and beat me for his own mistake. How do you run a business like this? Don't even get me started on the quality. I've been around since the first momo truck hit Jackson Heights--and honestly, I've seen better service at a DMV. read more

Beautiful handcrafted momos. Worth the experience and trip! Come with nice julienne-cut radish as well as delicious chili sauce. $7 a pop Really good and worth a trip... or ten!! They also sell frozen momos in wholesale packs of 25/50/100!! read more

First time going here. It was FANTASTIC. Definitely coming back. One of the best momo ive had

I came here with my boyfriend so he could try momos for the 1st time. It's $7 for 8 pieces which I think is great value. The momos are large with a thick skin and seasoned filling. We got the beef and doused it in the white sauce and red chili sauce. The beef filling is juicy and flavorful and the sauces add on more flavor and I'd consider a must. (Just be careful with the red chili sauce, it's definitely spicy). They didn't give us the radish on top for some reason when we went (maybe they were out?) but hopefully they will next time. 1 plate will definitely fill 1 person up, so if you're trying to try other foods in the area, I'd say share this with someone or eat a couple and save the rest as leftovers to take home! read more

First time trying momo, Amdo was recommended by a friend in the neighborhood (Jackson Heights) and it was love at first bite! Spicy doesn't agree with me so I opted for the dumpling drenched in white sauce and topped with the radishes. This food truck is clean with a little counter to eat at, and the chef/host was lovely and kind to me as a first-timer. Got the beef momo, will be back for those and to try the vegetarian. Had a little trouble finding it after getting off the train-- the neighborhood was bustling on a Friday night. Popped into the Indian grocery after to grab some snacks + dessert, and all in all it was a great experience. Definitely a local staple, but even if you're not in the neighborhood, this might be worth a stop for some excellent eats! read more

The momos are $8 and come with 8 pieces. The beef momos are absolutely delicious. Make sure you put extra white sauce on the momos, and use the hot sauce sparingly - it is HOT! We did have to wait a while for the momos to be ready... but they were so worth it. read more

first time trying momos and i was not disappointed! ordering was quick and easy. i got the beef momos and they were $7 for 8 pieces (as of may 2023). the momos had a nice chewy skin and beefy, flavorful filling. they were juicy! pair them with the hot sauce or the creamy white sauce, it's a pretty quick and filling meal. highly recommend this place! read more

Amdo Kitchen - beef momos - Food Trucks Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

3/3 Food; 1/1 Service; 1/1 Value As a huge fan of street food in Jackson Heights, Amdo Kitchen is a staple on my itinerary every time I do a food tour in the area. As such, it was the first stop on my list while giving a food tour of Jackson Heights to a visiting friend who never had Tibetan momos before. The service is super fast, efficient and friendly-- the momos are ready made and steamed in advance, so expect to be served within literal minutes of ordering. We shared an order of the beef momos (8 momos for $7), and it was heavenly with the hot sauce and creamy white sauce and thickly sliced seasoned onions. The momos are beautifully juicy and bursting with flavor! The hot sauce can be pretty potent if you are not used to eating spicy foods, but I found it to be an absolutely perfect accompaniment. The value here is incredible considering the price for rather large momos, and I will most definitely be frequenting again and again! read more

Just the absolute best momos you can get. The guy who mans the truck is a little quiet so don't be discouraged if he doesn't respond to you right away. Give him some time to get his bearings and do not be rude to him as I've seen so many people do when they walk up to his truck. The beef momos are where they are at. You get 8 for $7 and this is probably the best value meal you can buy in all of NYC right now. The Veggie momos were pretty weak honestly as they were mostly cabbage and I would recommend skipping them unless you can't eat meat. I think one of the highlights for me is the hot sauce. It's got great flavor with just enough heat/kick. It's not enough to make me full on tear out sobbing, but it is definitely enough to make me sweat a little bit and feel warm. read more

Amdo Kitchen - Beef momos - Food Trucks Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

This is a Tibetan Momo food truck moment, in the heart of Jackson Heights, right around the corner from Patel Brothers. Jackson Heights can be a lot so a grounding, robust portion of piping hot momos, eaten away from the fray, is the quiet and soothing experience you require. I got an order of veg momos--stuffed with cabbage, mushrooms, maybe some scallion?--wrapped in pliant, silky dough that has the sort of resilience that provides a bit of push back when bitten through. If pressed I'd say just south of al dente and more along the lines of an excellent xiao long bao, where the dough has to keep the soup and the filling, dumpling shaped, over time. These momos are large and stuffed to the hilt, with eight crowding a takeout container. Make sure to ask for the pickled radish condiment! Long, thin, squiggly ribbons of daikon radish, lightly fermented and tangy, draped across steaming momos, finished with the "house special" white sauce. I asked what was in the sauce and received a grin as reply, neighbor to the one I had when I took my first bite. Delicious! And because I'm a peppa head, I had to add plenty of their liquidy chili condiment, too. I ate some right there and took the remaining home. Next time I'll get two orders :D read more

Yum! Parked at the corner of 74th St and 37th Rd, Amdo Momo truck offers great beef momos for $7. I first came to know Amdo's naby years ago at a Momo Crawl, and since then I prefer their food. I stopped by to get steamed momos to go for lunch. Yum! Very filling for a fast lunch. read more

I think these are the best momos in Queens. They sell them frozen in 50 piece bags and I've loved them as a quick and cozy quarantine snack. Their beef is my favorite, so much liquid inside, I'm always a little careful with my first bite! read more

The momos are usually good, and I often stop by for a quick bite. However, today the worker at the truck was extremely rude. I simply ordered a beef momo and made a light comment about the increased price, smiling the whole time. He handed me the food but then abruptly told me to go somewhere else and asked for the food back. When I asked why he was being so rude, he claimed I was disrespectful and refunded only $7 of the $8 I had given him. When I went back to ask for the remaining dollar, he made unprofessional remarks about giving me extra dollar because I supposedly needed it and insisted I hadn't paid the full amount. read more

This is my favorite momo spot in Jackson Heights. The skins are not too thick and the filling is juicy! A lot of other spots have really thick, doughy momos and they are dry as hell and sometimes taste gamey. If you eat at the truck, you'll be given spicy radishes on the side! My go-to quick dinner spot!! read more

Amdo Kitchen - best when fresh! - Food Trucks Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

Momo spots are everywhere in Jackson Heights and despite it all, Amdo is still one of my favorite spots, at least in food truck fashion. Amdo serves up momos the way they were meant to be: delicious. Amdo Kitchen, a nod to the Amdo region of Tibet represents its roots well. Proud owner and the person doing most of the cooking is Thubten Amchok, who like other momo purveyors was in fact, a former monk. Unlike the many of them still operating out of a cart, he upgraded to a truck less than a decade ago. Beef momos are the way to go. The skin is slightly thicker than what I tend to prefer, but the juices are wonderfully salty. I usually give them a few seconds to cool before going in for a bite, I don't want to give it the same treatment as a XLB, but sometimes the juices flow more in some than others. At $5 for 8 pieces, it's a nice affordable, winter-perfect snack. It's not just momos, their menu has the full blown versatility that one might find in an actual Tibetan establishment. There are noodles (chowmen mainly), fried rice, thentuk (noodle soup), shapales (think stuffed pie), backlep (bread), and other variations of momos, including bags of frozen ones. All in all, this is a food truck that is worth visiting and the food (all of it) is worth trying. They are still cash only for now and sometimes are not present during bad weather days. They also deliver as well, just make sure to give them a call at either 347-612-8208 or 347-621-7569. read more

Soooo friggin good!!! So good that I had to buy frozen momos to take back home with me. I tried this a few months ago and still waiting to go back again I love the food truck vibe too read more

Came here on a hot Saturday expecting some delicious momos. Man was I disappointed. Not only is it located on the busiest intersection and street, but the momos are drier than the hot, summer air. I got the beef and chicken momos and they were salty, dry, and the skin resembled a soup dumpling, rather than a momo. Would not come back. There are much better options available like Momo Crave. read more

The beef momo's were really good and flavorful. The location is very close to the bus's that take you to the La Guardia airport so if you are in a crunch you can run and grab a good (and filling) bite to eat! The guy that worked there was very nice too! $7 for eight momo's. read more

After a short absence (picture me gazing forlornly up 37th Road) Amdo Kitchen is back in their usual location and their momos are as good as ever. I think these are the best in the neighborhood because they really hold the meat juices. Other places it's often the case that the meat is dry and separated totally from the dumpling skin. Pro tip: if you take these to go, pop them in an air fryer for a few minutes. read more

Attended their food truck at this year's momo crawl. My boyfriend and I were really excited to try their momos since they were a past winner, but we ended up disappointed and mad. We paid $6 or 6 momos and only got 4. The person up front tried to claim we only ordered 4 and then tried to keep the other $2, insisting that it was our fault that we gave him too much. To top it off, the momo skins were thick and very flourly, almost inedible. The filling was also very dry. There are better momo spots in the area. read more

I love this food truck. One of my friends who is absolutely crazy about momos introduced me to it and it really is amazing. Whenever I'm in the area, their beef and chicken momos are one of the first food options that spring to mind. They're delicious, with the right "Q"-ness of the skin (this means something along the lines of chewy texture, but in a good way...like "al-dente"-ness), and the soup inside the dumpling is very good, too. They're made pretty much on the spot, and the sauces compliment them perfectly, with just the right amount of sweetness (peanut sauce) and spice (hot sauce). On top of that, they're super affordable. read more

I came here with high expectations and having tried a lot of other momo options in the neighborhood. Unfortunately this place fell very short. I got the 8 piece chicken momos for $7. My first clue should have been when the guy in front of me ordered and was immediately handed his order. There was no preparation or warming. Same thing with my order. When I started eating, I was immediately disappointed by the lack of flavor. The skin was too thick. And the filling was decent but not memorable. Maybe they're better when you buy them frozen and make them yourself. But it needed more moisture and not just from the hot sauce they provide. read more

Love the beef momos here. Really juicy and refreshing with bone soup on side. The owner is very nice, and isn't stingy with the sides.

CASH ONLY FOOD TRUCK, NO SEATING. A food truck serving some of the best MOMO dumplings that i have tasted, for just 5 dollars you can treat your self to 6 succulent dumplings and some amazing tibetan pickled radishes.

My first reaction: A soupless, lean soup dumpling! I'm a huge dumpling lover so when I stumbled by this food truck I didn't hesitate to order. There were two options of dumplings either beef or chicken but my friend and I stuck with beef. I read reviews about it being soupy but mine sadly weren't. Maybe next time I shouldn't wait 20 minutes before eating it. Another mistake I made was trying my first bite with their hot sauce. Don't get me wrong the hot sauce is AMAZING but after that one bite I was never able to actually taste the goodness under the thin skin. For the cost of $5 you get 8 dumplings which is cheaper than the Chinese soup dumplings. I hope to give this another try without repeating the amateur mistakes. read more

Amdo Kitchen - Beef dumplings w/ hot sauce ($5 for 8) - Food Trucks Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

Cheers to the tireless evangelizing of Jeff O! People ask me every year if I attended that year's Momo Crawl. I always tell them no, because as a local, every day is a momo crawl. /smug For years, the Amdo truck has dished out my favorite momos in Jackson Heights. I don't want to call out others for being inferior, but among all the shapes, textures, and flavors around, these sturdy Tibetan dumplings from Amdo have always been a touch more delicate. Of them all, Amdo's most resemble Chinese soup dumplings - a little shock of hot broth captured inside each thin-skinned parcel. Like other momo trucks, it's $5 for a plate of 8, delivered to you on a Styrofoam plate (or box, if to-go). While Chinese soup dumplings are unctuous with pork collagen and the mingling notes of ginger and Shaoxing wine, momos have a rougher filling, with the plainer, austere flavors of beef and onion. Also unlike soup dumplings, you can pick them up with your fingers and dab them into the deep red sepen (chili sauce) without fear of the skin tearing. The guys are always friendly. If you see Tibetan balep, a heavy disc of golden bread halfway between fried and baked, get it. $9 is a heck of a pricetag for a loaf of bread, but it sells fast. The balep is airy but springs back forcefully at the touch, leaving a sheen of oil on your finger. I can never pin down when Amdo will be there in its spot off 74th. Half the time I'm in the area and want momos, they're gone. I ask after their hours next time, but then I forget. At least these momos are good enough to keep checking. read more

One of my closest friends is Nepali and all he talks about is how he use to be able to eat 50 momos in one sitting and how delicious they are. We finally got a chance to try them and they are bomb. Chicken momo ($6) remind me of regular Chinese dumplings while to beef momo ($5) reminded me of Xiao Long Baos. Although they're similar to chinese dumplings they have their own twist and are served with delicious picked radish and spicy hot sauce. FYI, this hot sauce is very spicy so go easy on it. read more

Amdo Kitchen - Menu! - Food Trucks Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

I haven't been catching up on my reviews lately, but I literally just had their momos and felt the need to immediately write this review. These were just that good! In a neighborhood with so many other momo spots, these are one of the best I've had! I don't know why I didn't try this place earlier. They were so plumpy, flavorful, and juicy. I couldn't wait for it to cool down to eat and seriously choked on my first bite because of the juices. The skin was a bit thicker than what I prefer, but I didn't mind it at all. Also be careful with the hot sauce because it's one of those that will creep up on you. (I tend to forget that sometimes). For $5 you get 8 momos which is about the price in the area, but definitely going into my books of good cheap eats! I'm already thinking about the next time I'm going back. read more
