I had momo before around Jackson heights and the smell was not there. Was a turn off to be honest. Also The place looked kinda dirty in my opinion and I didn't trust the sauce they gave out based on my gut feeling after having explosive diarrhea years ago from eating samosas with dipping sauce at an Indian spot that looked similar. Also read a review of someone saying they gave expired meat. The flavor was good though but definitely nowhere near the ones I had in the past. The momo I had in the past were very juicy and rounder and tasted very rich. These just tasted like Chinese dumplings at any take out spot.

Brand new cafe that took over Kalye's old space…read more Came here for lunch and we both had their Chicken Gyathuk noodles seeing that it was frigid outside. Noodles were OK, wasn't anything extraordinary--we just wanted something warm and hearty. We had wanted to try their momos and dal bhat but figured we'd save that for next time. Service was pretty slow and lackluster, if I'm being honest. They have about 4, 4-people tables and it was less than 10 customers in total when we arrived (and throughout our stay), so it wasn't packed or super busy. One thing that I'd really like to point out that I couldn't help but notice is to CHECK YOUR BILL. I immediately noticed the odd itemized price before the subtotal and realized that they gave us a receipt that automatically factored in a 4% credit card fee on the food BEFORE the subtotal. I asked our waitress about this and she kept saying, "I don't know why," (which I'm sure is the truth) but didn't really do anything to help and didn't offer to print out pricing with cash. This last part--hitting us with the credit card fee bill and lack of help/concern--set us off, even though we really want to support a new, local business. Manaslu Cafe, not being transparent isn't great business practice, and it's early enough for you to go back and change this and note the credit card fee vs cash payment price.

Delicious Tibetan food on the corner of Broadway and Woodside…read more I've tried their almost everything on the menu and it's all great. My favorites are the liang fen, sukuti (dried beef chili salad), Dan Dan noodle, and fried momo. It's always a treat to stop by. It's a small unassuming space with a great menu. While I say Tibetan food, they have Tibetan/ Nepali/ Chinese food due to the proximity of those countries and the neighborhood, I assume. They do it in the best way possible. Service was quick even though there was only one server when I was there. It is a small restaurant, there are 6 tables that seat 4 people each. Will be back because of the efficient service and delicious food.

The interior is pretty small with just one waiter, but most of the food comes out pretty quick. Our momos however came out 20 minutes after all our other dishes came out. Special liang fen w/ Wai Wai: I've never heard of Wai Wai noodles before and thought they'd be cooked noodles, but they're actually uncooked crumbled up instant ramen noodles. They were wrapped up in a noodle-like pancake which had a pretty nice chew to it. It was a little too spicy for my palate though. Tibetan sausage: It looked like a blood sausage, but tasted a little more bland. The texture was a bit more crumbly than a normal Chinese sausage. Stir fried tongue: Our favorite dish of the night! The sliced beef tongue was so flavorful and melted in your mouth. I would come back just to get this dish again. Beef momo: I appreciated how the skin was not overly thick like other momos that I've had. The meat itself wasn't overly flavorful, but the chili sauce that they gave was a really nice addition to the momos. Overall, I would come back here just for the stir fried tongue. The price was also really cheap (most items being around $10) with big portion sizes. We were extremely full and could barely finish all 4 dishes between 2 people.

I was most curious to try the yellow liang fen, and had no idea what to expect. It ended up being a cold noodle wrapped around a crunchy, super spicy filling. It was delicious, but even my spice-tolerant friends and I could not finish the dish. We enjoyed every bite we were able to take, and even ordered a mango lassi to try and beat the heat. We also ordered the chili momo, which were very tasty! They were not very spicy despite the red appearance, and had more of a savory kick. The inside was juicy and full of meat. The mango lassi was a little light on the mango taste. Service was quick and efficient. This little spot has an extensive menu that I hope to be able to check out further another time!

This is my first time trying Nepalese food; however, it is very similar to Indian food and turned out not to be that different. Our server was nice and took our orders. Food didn't take that long to be served. We had a variety of dishes, which were a mix of Chinese/Indian fusion dishes. Most of the dishes were good; I do wish they were a bit spicier, but maybe you have to let them know at the time of placing your order. Portion sizes were not bad either. Nothing really stood out, but it wasn't terrible either. Overall, had a good time due to the company.

They do have a restroom for customers, but bare minimum seating and tables for people to dine in. Don't expect to get any table service, and it's first come, first seating. I saw a lot of supreme stuff all over the restaurant, too. The bike and boxes inside made it look like a warehouse or a large closet, too. It threw me off. You would order and then grab a seat. Someone will bring the food to your table if you're eating there. They do have ac, so that's good if you're trying to escape the heat. My friend and I ate inside and got the summer rolls, which wasn't tightly wrapped, and it was so hard to eat. It came apart right away, which I've never seen happen before. I don't suggest getting it at all. It was too messy to eat, and the ingredients were mainly noodles. I got the taro tea as that doesn't have caffeine inside of it. For my main meal, I got the hot pot noodle soup with a medium spice level with been tendon and fatty beef. The bad part about it was that my stomach hurt after an hour or so. I didn't eat breakfast, so it was definitely a reaction from this meal.

Famous for its charcoal-grilled skewers and communal Kamayan platters, the restaurant delivers an authentic, down-to-earth dining experience. The sweet-and-savory grilled pork and chicken skewers are undisputed crowd-pleasers. They are caramelized to perfection and pair beautifully with garlic rice. The restaurant offers multi-person platters served on banana leaves. It's a great, interactive way for groups to try a variety of meats and seafood. Beyond the grill, fans frequently praise the crispy pata (fried pork knuckle), lumpia(spring rolls), and kare-kare (oxtail in peanut sauce). Widely considered one of the most reasonably priced spots for quality Filipino cuisine in the borough. The dining room is located on the second floor. It has a lively, casual atmosphere that often features loud music. While many diners highlight the friendly and humorous service, online reviews show mixed opinions about customer service, with some visitors citing occasional long wait times or abrupt interactions at the takeout counter. Still, it is a pleasant place to have a meal when opting for Filipino food.
