    I stopped by Lhasa Snack Cafe after noticing they had momos on the menu. As a tough critic of momos, especially since I have a go to spot in the city--I was excited to try them right here in Queens. The ambiance of the restaurant is tranquil and relaxing, which made for a pleasant atmosphere. The staff was very friendly, though I will note that the wait for food was longer than expected. We ended up getting everything to go, and while the momos were decent, I think I need to give them another try to offer a fair review. The reheating process may have affected the flavor and texture, so I'm definitely interested in trying them fresh next time for a more accurate judgment. Overall, a nice spot with potential, and I'm looking forward to giving the momos another shot!

    This is a restaurant with same owner as Lhasa Liang fen, Jackson height. Food is little different, they must be focusing on snack foods only. Very new, nice and clean restaurant with only two people working, I think it's the owner itself. There is prices are reasonable. I have tried their, shyabhaley, momo with chilly sauce at the bottom, Dan dan noodles, Wai wai lhaping, potato momo and dorpa khatsa. Everything was great and freshly made. It was first time triying potato momo and dorpa khatsa which is a stomach lining i guess. Potato momo was cripsy with beef in the middle . Can't wait to go back.

    One of a million momo places in little Tibet. It's a bit sparse, but they do have ethnic programs on the TV. They also have chive Momos which is major key. Loads of other Tibetan food as well. A bit cheaper than Momo Crave which is around the corner

    Amazing authentic fresh food, service is perfect. So homey!! This will definitely be a regular spot for me and my friends.

    Another stop on my first Jackson Heights food tour. This Nepalese spot offers Nepali foot,…read moreBhutanese food, Tibetan food, and Indian food. The food types are similar but offer different spice/flavor profiles. They have a large section of noodles, soup, and rice. A veggie section with various combos of cauliflower, potatoes, onion, bamboo, blackened peas, mustard greens, and spices. Some of the Indian dishes: paneer butter masala, palak paneer, chicken tikka masala. Some of the appetizers include crispy tofu, fried soybeans, a Nepali snack platter with marinated meat, goat, beef tripe, sliced beef tongue, fried jerky, duck. They also have a momo section. We had their famous chicken lollipops (essentially fried chicken) and it was crispy and spicy (in a good way). We also had sadeko (marinated or tossed) bacon, which was rich and tender. I had one of their Nepali cocktails, which was pleasantly spicy (the chatpata aam, made with tequila, spicy chatpatey syrup, and mango puree). Service was attentive. Inside is cozy, lots of dark wood and colorful flags. They also often have entertainment in the evening, so I would love to return to hear some live music while trying more Nepali cuisine.

The place isn't huge but it is a good size and was able to accommodate us. There were many appetizers on the table that were very delish. A hit for me were the seasoned potatoes, Aloo Dum (dry). I ordered the Shogo Ngopa and decided to go with tingmo instead of the white rice. Trying something new! Also ordered a mango lassie. Food came out fresh, warm and delicious. The tingmo reminded me to a steamed bun with out the filling but with layers. Everything was good. Everyone was friendly and kept our water glasses filled. At 9pm there was live music which was a nice treat. They even sang happy birthday to our friend. Nice place and will definitely try again!

My friend and I decided to share everything. We ordered: GARLIC NAAN 5/5 These garlic naans were probably the best we've both tried. As soon as we took a bite, we are both impressed. And to think that we would have missed out if our server didn't suggest it... These particular naans are made different from the traditional Iones. They are coated with buttery goodness and are super thin. The hummus on the side was also a very good pairing. I would recommend this app. PORK JHOL MOMO 5/5 These pork momos were also super delicious! Comparing it to the ones I've had at another restaurant, there is no overpowering cilantro in this one! The momo itself was very juicy. The flavor of the inside and the soup was delicious. Another must-get! CHICKEN KHAJA PLATTER 4/5 My friend and I were probably the least impressed with this one. A lot of the dish includes a lot of dry ingredients like popped rice & soybean seeds. They also used cold meats and veggies. It was great to try each portion of the platter, but wasn't our personal favorites of our visit here. Overall, we had a delicious lunch. We throughly enjoyed our experience here and would definitely recommend this local spot. I did think it was worth the trip over.

    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.
