    Chicken Momos
    Christina G.

    The chicken momocha was good and flavorful. The meat was juicy and nice and hot. The mild sauce it comes with tied it together and was a filling portion for me (I got a half order). It didn't take long for the food to come out either. I've had momos from other places before and it's pretty on par with the other ones I've tried.

    I went to their food truck and was happy to see that they offer half orders of their momos (these are similar to steam buns or xiao long bao, but with different filling) I ordered a half order of the pork momos and the potato and cheese balls. It sounds like the momos are typically ready made, but the cheese balls are cooked to order. The price and portion size was reasonable. They offer the option of a mild or spicy sauce with the momos - I opted for spicy (it has a nice kick but not overly spicy). The cheese balls were hot, fresh and delicious! Had kind of a rice like texture on the inside, and very flavorful but even better dipped in the spicy sauce. The momos were good, but a bit on the drier side. Unfortunately, the top of the dough part seemed a little undercooked (the reason for 4 stars), otherwise it would have been much better. A note about the dessert options - they had a mango coconut ice cream desert on the menu. I ended up not ordering it, but I saw someone get one and I literally thought they had just gotten a side of sauce at first. It came in one of those small plastic sauce containers, maybe a slightly larger size (3 or 4oz, maybe?), and looked very different from the photo. I heard that it cost $4.50, so be prepared for the size and presentation if you order that dessert. I do not know how it tasted - maybe it was delicious and worth it!

    Wanted to try Kathmandu Momocha food truck for a while now.. Been following them ardently on Instagram to get their schedule so I can go and devour their himalayan momos (steamed dumplings).. Tried their chicken momos (the best), beef momos, veg pakoras, potato and cheese balls.. everything was really good but I personally loved their chicken momos.. the sauce gives these momos a very nice flavor and I wanted more of that sauce.. I wish they could offer different spice levels for their sauce so I could try something hotter.. Since we ordered togo the sauce was loaded in tiny containers vs sauce spread over the momos if you eat it there (this lets the momos soak up the sauce really well and enhances the taste in my opinion).. I can see myself craving these weekly so I am going to stalk their food truck schedule on Insta.. They typically are in Ballard at least twice a week next to some brewery so that gives me a nice reason to have a beer and eat momos.. Pretty authentic.. Definitely recommend these guys..

    Chicken dumplings with mild sauce

    Tried the chicken dumplings (half order) and the potato cheese balls. The food truck was at the Shoreline Farmers market. Both items were flavorful, and the potato cheese balls were freshly made. The dumpling skin is thicker and chewier than I am use to. I chose the mild sauce (they also have a hot sauce) and it was tasty. They have a gluten free option (veggie pakour) but they use the same fryer as glutinous items; which is absolutely understandable.

    So happy to see this Nepali restaurant in my old work neighborhood. The place is decorated like typical Newari style venue. The food is great, even in addition to the momos. Staff and ow eta are super friendly and attentive. While very delicious, I think the dumplings may be mechanically closed versus the more traditional had pinching. Check it out!

The server gave us a few minutes to look over the menu and came back and recommended many different dishes to us. He also asked us what our spice tolerance was and used that to give more specialized recommendations. We ordered a chicken curry dish that he said was the chef's specialty, a chicken dish that came on a hot plate, and garlic naan. The flavors were very great and we were happy with the portion size. We thought they could have given a bit more sauce with the curry since the dish they used to serve it seemed a little small but the amount of chicken in there was great. The dishes also came with rice which was nice. We'll definitely be back in the future to try out more of their menu. At the end of our meal, the chef even came out and asked us if we liked the food. The garlic naan was also very yummy. We enjoyed our time there!

We were really just going in to see what they had... and somehow that turned into an order. You know how that goes. Titi was the one preparing our food, and she was amazing about my gluten-free needs. She actually got everything new in the kitchen to make sure there was no cross-contamination. Because of that, we had to wait a little longer, but honestly, I didn't mind at all. I'd rather wait knowing they're taking it seriously and I can actually enjoy my food without worrying! She asked what level of sauce we wanted, and I confidently said medium. She also gave me some mild on the side... and apparently she knew something I didn't. Listen, I eat spicy food, but that medium was NOT medium. That thing was SPICY! The dumplings were really good, and now I definitely want to go back and try the beef and chicken ones too. The portion was actually pretty good as well. One order was enough for hubby and me since we weren't very hungry. If we had gone in actually hungry, though? Yeah... we definitely would've needed two orders. Super down to earth restaurant. great experience, and I really appreciated how seriously Titi took the cross contamination issue. For someone with celiac disease, that means a lot. So yes I will be back ;-)

We tried their chicken momocha, steamed dumplings, 6 pieces for $13. Unfortunately, they were only lukewarm. They had a long line; I suspect the dumplings are not getting reheated for long enough. I know they are all fully-cooked/steamed and brought here to be warmed and served, so I wasn't concerned about food poisoning. Each momo is well stuffed, densely packed and meaty (much better than the momo food truck in Tulalip) with a pleasantly thin skin. Overall quality of the momo is in fact very good. We are only disappointed that they are lukewarm. The medium sauce is excellent. The pop-up menu has less options compared to the physical restaurant and cost more. The same chicken momocha, steamed dumplings cost $14.95 for 10 pieces if the online menu is accurate. That is a much better price. I still want to try their pan-fried version. Those look good.

    The momos from this Indian-Nepali restaurant (kitchen?) had been something I've heard things about…read more So when I came up here, I was quite excited to give them a shot. Not exactly sure what to get, we ordered the momo combo, the malai momos, and the tandoori momos - all chicken. These did more than live up to the hype. They're simply the best momos I've ever had. The sample size on that isn't huge, as I've only had it from about three or four different places, but these blow those other places out of the water so much it's crazy. The quality here is simply spectacular - every kind of momo present is so delightful to consume. The level of marination on each of these is highly impressive. The momo combo comes with sandheko, steamed, chili, and fried types. Each of these are awesome. The fried momo has a great crunch without being overly bready. It reminds me a little of a turnover, but savory. The sandheko momo is dripping with a nutty, oily flavor. The chili momo isn't super spicy, but contains just enough for your tongue to feel that it's there - and it has a beautiful deep red color. The malai momos are also awesome. These are nutty and creamy to the max - drenched in sauce yet the dough still stays firm on the outside. The combination of flavors with the chicken feels like it shouldn't work, but it just does in a way that's purely addicting. Out of the three orders though, my favorite has to be the tandoori momos. These are plump, juicy, and the reddish brown exterior feels like they actually were cooked in a tandoor. They're the only ones crispy on the outside, yet the chicken on the inside stays the same level of soft and juicy as the other ones. I should mention how good the filling - despite being ground chicken - is. It tastes better than a lot of the pork filling I've had in other dumplings. We also had the garlic basil naan, with tomato achar. While the achar wasn't my favorite as it felt too liquidy, the naan was quite soft and enjoyable to even eat plain. Also the momo sauce wasn't my favorite either as it felt too tomato-forward. Each order was around $15-17, which for 10 pieces, I'd say is a decent enough price. Overall, I find it hard to believe that these momos will be topped anytime soon. 9.15/10

The only downside is that the location isn't the greatest, but the restaurant itself is nice and comfortable inside. I'll definitely be coming back to try more of their momo.

I love spice so this I'd recommend to anyone who also enjoys spicy foods. Butter momo would be the closest to first place for me. I'd suggest this one for someone who doesn't want spicy. Similar sauce to the curry that comes with butter chicken. Sweet and creamy. They give you plenty of sauce and it's delicious. Fried & steamed chicken momo were wonderful and classic. Our friend who dined with us is from Nepal and said she believes this might be the most authentic place for momo. our/her other momo spot is Indian-Nepali kitchen. This place also had fried rice and chow mein and a couple of other options that we will certainly be back for to try.

We weren't aware as we went somewhere else to wait as it was very cold.

Luckily we did get our water refilled decently but there were a few times where our empty glasses were seen and ignored. I definitely think there should be staff training as it was non-existent.

The music was also so low I didn't know it was even on, they have a loud fan going on and even their TVs have no volume. It's a pretty awkward ambiance, especially with how they try to look like they are a upscale restaurant.

The portions are generous. We never had paratha but our friend recommended it so we got the aloo paratha while my boyfriend got their butter masala and I got their tikka masala extra hot. It wasn't really spicy at all, definitely nothing like what I've had at other Indian restaurants. The curries were flavorful with good pieces of chicken. We might return if we need something nearby but there are definitely better options that I would walk for.
