It was just average, wasn't good wasn't bad. I'm not really interested in returning. You can get the same items from any Carry Out in the area. read more

Upper Georgia Avenue received a tasty international treat a few months ago with the opening of Moh Moh...Licious a new restaurant featuring Nepalese cuisine. The name "Moh Moh" comes from the local term for dumplings. Executive Chef Samrat "Sam" Proudel says that his mission is to serve Nepalese and Himalayan food to the people of DC and introduce Nepali cuisine to the world. Sam and his business partner Farouq Munir got their start three years ago in DC's burgeoning food truck scene. Sam is a graduate of a culinary and management program here in the United States. After several years of success and growth, they decided to plant their brick and mortar roots here in our community. Menu As mentioned, the cuisine is a twist of styles that are popular in the Himalayan cultures. Due to their proximity, India and China have had a heavy influence on the palette as well. Sam says that his three signature dishes are: Dumplings Thukpa, a noodle soup Himalayan Rice Bowls I tried the steamed pork dumplings with the Soy Ginger sauce a few weeks ago and absolutely loved it. They were some of the best dumplings he'd ever had! Today, I had a taste of the flavorful noodle soup and I also found it to be delicious; the spices and seasoning really stood out. In addition to these favorites, the shop also offer breakfast items like bagels, assorted seafood and fresh smoothie and coffee drinks. We are happy to have this new flavor destination to explore, right here in our own neighborhood. I enjoyed my visit and conversation with Sam, and I would recommend that you stop by for a coffee and say hello as well. We will definitely dine here again in the future. read more

Came by at 12:10pm and they were closed, although it is their normal business hours (their own website lists 9 am to 8 pm). So that's some time I'll never get back driving all the way out here, and $2.60 in parking fees wasted. I find it very unprofessional that they wouldn't be open during their posted hours. I would have called but it's the middle of the lunch hour! Edit: Apparently, they were closed because of some maintenance-related issues. While this is perfectly fine, it would have been nice if their makeshift sign had stated that. But I'm upping my review one star--hopefully if I happen to be in the area I will be able to try their food. Edit: Was able to make it in when they were pen. Delicious Nepalese dumplings and even better sauces make a great meal. I like the spicy red sauce but the others are all fabulous. Prices are a little high given that it's just a take out ($1 per dumpling approximately). Earlier problem takes away a *. read more

Never had Nepalese food before. Was recommended to try the dumplings and ordered the frozen Indian chai tea. very good. I would recommend. Would probably try the rice bowls next time. read more

We finally got a chance to stop by when they were open and it did not disappoint! The owner is a really friendly Nepalese who gave us good tips on how to beat enjoy our lentil soup and veggie momos. We also had the tamarind lemonade and it was so refreshing! We'll def be back for more momos and try the rest of the veggie offerings! read more

These MoMo dumplings are authentic, super tasty, dherai mito ccha They got subtle curry spices mixed in your choice of filling of chicken, beef, delicious pork, and vegetable medley. The manager is so nice, and has the sauce hookup! You've got original red sauce, tangy tamarind, fragrant sesame tomato, okay... and even the secret habanero sauce from the motherland - just ask for it! Of course they got other menu items like strong coffee, breakfast specials, and 10 heaping combos of Nepali rice, salads, and soups. But the Tibetan noodles and dumplings are just what you need when you wanna spice things up! read more

Really good momo. As close to authentic momo as you can get in DC. Super efficient as the guy had 6 plates of momo ready in 20 minutes. I'd highly recommend the pork momo. However, beware of their schedule. They say they open at 10 AM but they are extremely unreliable and often open at noon. I biked there at 9 am for an hour to get there to pick up MOMO for lunch. They didn't pick up the phone, nor did they open the door. I heard from a friend later that they only open at noon, without any notice. I do like the momo and I'd go back, but being punctual should be a priority especially if they want people from downtown dc to come up there. read more

Great food, great price. My boyfriend and I ordered the dumplings and the chicken rice bowl. I highly recommend it. The sauces were right on point with a spicy kick! We ate at the restaurant. It's a small area with bar stool seating but upbeat. The staff was very friendly with great customer service. I will be returning soon! read more

Went there on a weekday, the place was not very busy. We got an order of chicken momo and goat curry, which was their special that week. Goat curry was good, but the momo lacked the authentic flavor it in. I liked the dumplings but the sauce was not a wow. The spicy sauce was not spicy, and the sesame could have been better. I'd recommend making the sauce better since I had a lot of expectations from this place.The service was good though. Hope to go there again to check if the momo sauce is better :) read more

We ordered a mix of all the different dumplings (beef, pork, chicken and veggie) and they were all delicious. The inside is simple with limited seating, but we were the only ones there, so we had no issues finding a spot to sit. The beef and pork were my favorites, but they were all really tasty and we'd definitely come back here again. read more

Great Food, Lackluster Customer Service. Only half of what I ordered was delivered. No one picked up phone when called made to correct order. Must do better. read more

Butter chicken gets a sad thumbs down. Tasted like basic canned Campbell's cream of tomato soup with a sprinkling of curry powder and a few heaped TABLESPOONS of SUGAR. It was sickly sweet. I've had butter chicken all over the world from Mumbai to London, from NY to Abu Dhabi, this was 2nd worse I've ever had. I feel ripped off. I'm giving 3 stars as the food is reasonably priced and the nan was delicious. read more

The dumplins here are amazing! I have only ever tried dumplins once before in my life. I was a young kid and didn't really care for them. I saw the reviews and photos for this place and decided to give dumplins another try. I'm so glad I did. This is my favorite place to get dumplins and the guy who works at the front is really nice. Try them out! read more

Delicious, definitely got more than I expected. Everything was yummy, especially their moh mohs.

Fantastic! The samosas are outrageous, I really could eat a hundred of them. Make sure to ask for all their sauces. You'll be licking your fingers! read more

It's amazing. Such depth of flavors, and the chef is happy to explain and customize the order. Had pork Momos-- (dumplings) with the spicy sauce, had the lentil soup, the Atchari Chicken (rich, spicy-sweet sauce) and the special naan-with nuts and rasins was awesome. Topped off with home-made chai and tamarind lemonade, it's a small place, se you should go for lunch or get take-out delivery. Flavors you have not had before, and such depth. read more

I liked this place. The guy behind the counter was very friendly and the food was good. I think it's a little overpriced but that's DC. I'll definitely be back to try some more items. I wish their hours were more clear. read more

I'm British. Everyone with taste buds knows our best food is Indian. Lol. This kitchen never disappoints. I lived in Nepal . Nobody does Momo...except this place. Love them. I do know Momo is Tibetan. If you want authentic food. Go here. read more

Wonderful spot! They were great at accommodating my picky younger sister and made a special chicken dish to fit her particular tastes. Our food was even ready early and we enjoyed every dish we ordered. The sauces were fresh and tasty and the flavors in the samosas, dumplings, chicken, and saag paneer were excellent. Definitely a must-have if you're in the area. And again, just great service!! read more

Just stumbled upon the food truck which is posted up on L and 15th NW (which I think will be the case every Wednesday). Had a sampler of their dumplings and they were certainly delicious. The sauces were flavorful and the spicy sauce was well rounded. Coworker got the salmon platter which looked incredible and looking forward to getting that next time. Lots of veggie options as well (including a veggie dumpling which was crazy good). Go there! read more

Review is for take out Pork Momos only - honestly the best pork momos in town & I know a thing or 2 about momos. Juicy, goof amount of filling, the skin is not too thick, not too thin. I got it with the Tangy sesame sauce & it tasted authentic. Haven't tried the spicy sauce yet. Next order, I'll order one of the other types of momos & post up what I think. read more

Was in the Friendship Heights area for work and found this food truck. Ordered Chicken Momos with spicy sauce to go but I was given Momos with tamarind sauce and little bit of other sauce. The tamarind sauce was not that bad however, I wish I was given the spicy sauce as I had asked because the sauce makes a huge difference with momos. Giving it 4 stars cause the momos were amazing. I will make sure that I double check the sauce they give me next time I visit them. read more

This is more of a public service announcement than a review because Moh was closed when I arrived at noon on a normal Tuesday. No mention of store closing on its sad Facebook page or on the restaurant wall. Just a locked door and unanswered phone. So make sure you call before you go... or better yet go somewhere else with better customer service in mind. read more

Their jhol momo was sooooo amazing,I wished I lived in DC just for that.

Came here on a Sunday for lunch with a group, there's few seats, kind of bar set up facing the wall. I don't recommend it for group. The inside was okay, it's kind of humid inside lack of air coming in & out. Doors closed at all times. It's a small place. I was shocked bcuz the place was empty. It was only me and my friends and there was no food on display at ALL. The guy took our orders, I didn't expect that he was also the one who will prepare our food. We waited for our food to be ready for almost an hour. We ended up leaving after getting our food and eat in the car instead because we have someplace to go to. The food presentation was messy. I should have took a picture of it, but I forgot bcuz we were rushing out. I got chicken curry with chickpeas and pork dumplings. The chicken curry was okay the chicken was hard. The pork dumplings was pretty good. My friends got Western Omelette it was interesting because it was JUST AN EGG nothing else, it's supposed to have cream cheese on it but I guess the guy forgot to put some and it was wrapped in tortilla. Others got soup , chicken dumplings & other kind of omelette they said it was alright but not worth the wait. Definitely not coming back read more

Great food and great customer service displayed by the owner. I will be eating here whenever i go back to DC.

I was searching for reviews and I discovered a restaurant review in the Washington Post. Here's a link: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/goingoutguide/restaurants/moh-moh-licious-takes-an-unorthodox-approach-to-nepalese-cuisine/2018/04/03/eca5cf70-342d-11e8-94fa-32d48460b955_story.html read more

Really enjoyed this restaurant. We had a variety of momos(veg, chicken, beef) and salmon with chana masala. Veg momos were the best, really tasty. The salmon was nicely cooked and the chana masala was excellent. Also very nice tamarind lemonade Friendly helpful staff. Only complaint is that they don't have dal bhat. read more

Delicious momos, we always get the chicken with the hot sauce and tamarind sauce. Made fresh. Never dissapoints!

I ate at Moh Moh Licious for the first time this evening and had a *wonderful* experience! We came in fairly late, close to 7pm, and ordered all sorts of delicious food to eat. Fast-forward half an hour, we are gathering our things to go when the kind man behind the counter (possibly the owner?) stops us and asks if we want a sample of the rice pudding! How could we say no? It was SUPERB. We said our goodbyes and walked out of the restaurant and I turned around ...only to see the nice man walk to the window, turn off the lit up "open" sign, and walk back to the door to lock it. TURNS OUT, the restaurant has a closing time of ***7pm*** and he had allowed us to come in, order, eat, talk....never once pressuring us to hurry up or even letting on that we might be taking up some of his free time. We never once felt rushed and thoroughly enjoyed our meals. And he even gave us some free dessert at the end. The combination of yummy food and wonderful hospitality/warmth at the restaurant really made for an A+ experience. We will be back for sure! (: read more

Amazing little place! The dumplings were tasty and the lamb biryani was really delicious. Perfect spicing and bursting with flavor. Very friendly service too. I will be back to try everything else! read more

Delicious! Great addition to the neighborhood. Very quick to get take out ready. Loved the pork dumplings. Wish they would stay open a little later. read more

I love their veggie momo's. Try the hot spicy sauce with it! Yum! The hours on yelp are not updated. When I went they were close in the afternoon so I had to go back. This is mainly good for 'to go' since there isn't much space to sit around. Next time I will try one of their rice bowls. Little bit on the pricey side but that's everywhere in DC read more

I've had Moh Moh Licious twice now - once as a delivery through GrubHub and once in the restaurant itself. Moh Moh Licious is a refreshing newer restaurant on Georgia Avenue, and the selections and price here are hard to beat. The dumplings are easily the best thing on the menu - all varieties are awesome but I suggest getting the 10-dumpling option mixed to try them all. The chicken rice bowl is also delicious and is a lot of food for the price. I recently had one of their soups and they made it spicy for me on request - also delicious. The curry is good as well but the dumplings really do take the cake. Stop by here for a good selection of espresso drinks as well! Overall great place, kind and friendly staff, good prices, and great food. read more

Amazing! Notice it driving by on way to kids' music lessons. Been eager to try it (also found a great deli, and eager to try roti place). Food is great as our the prices, and amazingly tastey. We will be stopping often (and if you have a cold, you want the soup). read more

Came here to try the food. Noticed it says it is open until 7pm. It is 3:47PM and doors are locked any no one is answering the phone. Kind of went out of the way to get it so a bit dissapointed. May need to revise business hours or something. read more

Moh Moh Licious opened today in our neighborhood, and we are very excited to have a new option that isn't fast food or 7-11. I had a mixed plate of dumplings and a small hot and sour soup, and both were utterly delicious. The man who served me was kind enough to offer me both steamed and fried dumplings because I couldn't make up my mind, as well as let me try all three dumpling sauces that they offer. Moh Moh Licious also has a variety of soups, salads, sandwiches, Biryani (!) as well as breakfast options. So glad they are in the neighborhood, and I suspect that they will become a lunch staple. read more

The place is a small station of extremely good taste. The chicken curry rice bowl is what I had and recommend anyone first timer to try it.
