What a delicious dumpling! I ordered some food from here coming one day with friends and got an order from here. These were some of the best dumplings I had. They make them fresh for you as well. They have two different type of sauces to pick from. Prices were too bad for the amount and the size of the dumpling. Can't wait to try again. read more

Momo Cha - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

The service was impolite, the food was very average. You can mix the kind of preparation for the momos, even when you order the large portion. We got ours pan fried, they were ok, not the most flavorful momos I've had. The samosas were ok too. A little pricey for the amount you get. read more

Momo Cha - Vegetable momos and samosa - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

I thoroughly enjoyed this spot!!!!!! I've never had a Nepalese dumpling (called a 'momo'!) before, and I was impressed by how large the individual one was in the small portion which comes with four total. The mint-cilantro dip it came with was also tasty, to the point where I drank it out of the little 2oz cup when I finished with my dumplings. Service was prompt, and I specifically ordered the steamed momo at the recommendation of the individual taking my order. The dumpling wrapping itself had a flavor which I found very tasty, I expected it to be plain but it instead was tasty on its own in a single bite. read more

Delicious momo (Nepalese dumplings) with an amazing savory green sauce. Their mango lassi ($5) is also very good. Service additionally very prompt and convenient, you take a buzzer that buzzes when your food is ready. Finally, it is located in the Detroit Shipping Company with many other food stalls and seating both upstairs and downstairs. Recommended and check it out in the DSC! read more

Everything was pretty tasty! My friend and I came here before a game at LCA. This is located in a warehouse food court with various options, but this was calling our name that day. We started with some momo dumplings. How are you gonna go to a place called Momo Cha and not get dumplings? These were nice and tasty. For our entrees we got the fried rice and one of the curries. Each of these entrees was very solid. The staff was quite friendly. The atmosphere is pretty lively since it's like a food court. Seats may be tough to find! Overall, great place, would recommend. read more

Ordered the large pork momos, pan fried with mint dipping sauce. Also ordered the chicken Kebabs (2 pcs). Momos were excellent, went perfectly with the mint dipping sauce. I would definitely recommend ordering it pan fried (or deep fried). Skip the chicken Kebabs, the meat was bit over cooked. read more

Steer clear of the tikka. We ordered the Chicken Momos and the Paneer Tikka Masala. The momos were decent. The tikka masala, however was terrible. The sauce had no evidence of spices and tasted exactly like thick, lukewarm Campbell's Tomato Soup. I hate wasting food, but it was inedible. We threw it away without finishing it. Frustrating and a waste of money. read more

We ordered the Chicken kebab, chicken dumpling, pan fried with all 3 sauces. Bill total was $15.83. Watching the guy make our dumplings as well as others, he's so quick and does it as if it was his second nature. The dumpling was so yummy! The chicken kebab was heavily curried, it had good kick, was interesting. read more

To all who dont know. Momo's are nepalese dumpling. They're very good and super yummy. Plus the dipping sauce that come with these bad boys are super yummy. My go to here would be the Pork and the Vegetable momos. Have them deep fried and served with tamarind and mint chutney. Only proper because these dumpling are more himalayan style, than their chinese/japanese counterparts. I can totally eat 10 of these easy. Plus the vegetable momos taste similar to samosas. I always have a good time here. Plus everytime we come here, it's always a must for me to grab something from this spot. Thank you so much for reading my review. I hope this helps with your decision making experience. Enjoy your awesome yelptastic day!! read more

Had a wonderful meal at Detroit Shipping a few weeks ago with a friend and Momo Cha was definitely on our "to try" list now that they're open. We split two snack sized orders of dumplings--the chicken and the pork, both pan fried. The chicken is a ground mixture with cilantro, green onion and masala spices and the pork is mixed with ginger-garlic, onion and masala spices. For dipping chutney we tried the tomato cilantro and the roasted soybean sesame and I liked both but the tomato cilantro was my favorite, which did surprise me since I'm not generally much of a cilantro fan. As far as the dumplings, the pork was definitely my favorite of the two because I love the ginger-garlic combo. They were definitely pretty busy when we were there so there was a bit of a wait for our order but it wasn't crazy long. And they have pagers so you can have a seat, sip a beverage, and relax until your order is ready. Love it and can't wait for my next visit! read more

Upon my first visit to Detroit Shipping Co. I was expecting your typical variety from a food hall based on places I have been to in other cities. I was pleasantly surprised to see Nepalese food. Having never had Nepalese food before, I figured I'd give Momo Cha a try. A variety of fillings, combined with a variety of preparation styles makes it easy to try more than one. I went with steamed and pan fried dumplings of chicken and port. For dipping sauces, I went with a spicy sauce (which I believe has since been taken off the menu). It was HOT, but awesome. It was a slow ramp-up from moderate heat to lava (which for me is something like Bdubs Wild Sauce). Excellent and I will definitely get them again the next time I'm there. read more

We ate at Detroit Shipping Co last night. Personally, I was looking forward to Momo Cha as I really wanted some of their momos! I ordered the chicken ones. The website said it was about a 30 minute wait but they were delivered to my table in 15. They were so delicious! Even the sauce, which was spicy, was amazing. The ground chicken and other stuffings were perfectly incorporated and bursting with flavor. I had steamed momos but would be curious to try pan fried and deep fried now! The one big drawback was on my second to last momo, there was a staple. I kept chewing thinking there was a very hard ramen noodle or something but I pulled out a staple. I'm glad I found it before swallowing! read more

The food was amazing, came out so quick! lots of seating and love the liveliness of the place read more

Momo Cha - Steamed and pan fried veggie Nepalese dumplings and an order of samosas. - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

I tried their chicken momos with all 3 sauces. I thought they were pretty tasty. However, I'm not sure if it's just because my mom cooked dumplings the other day, but I didn't find these momos particularly super flavorful or super special compared to other dumplings I've had like the other reviews suggest. I will say though that this stand is probably the best one at the Detroit Shipping Company! The soy based sauce and the tomato based sauce had very little flavor and it was hard to differentiate the two between looks and taste to the point where I asked the worker if she did give me two different sauces. The green sauce had a lot more flavor so I would go for that. I would definitely come back again though since the food looked fresh and tasted good. The workers were very nice too. read more

Loved the samosas, steamed & pan fried momos. Authentic taste and great service. Fun ambiance.

I came here on a Saturday afternoon for lunch and there was plenty of outdoor seating and parking. The outdoor seating had heat lamps to keep it warm and a large tent to keep us in the shade. We ordered online and added our table number and they brought the food out to us. This spot has the best dumplings I have ever eaten. I ordered 4pc pan fried pork dumpling and 4pc pan fried chicken dumpling with all the different chutneys. I prefer pan fried dumpling because they aren't as oily as the deep fried but still have a crispy texture. My favorite was the pork dumplings because they have so much flavor and are very juicy. The chicken dumpling was also delicious but a little more subtle with the flavor. I would highly recommend pairing with the tomato cilantro chutney and the hot sauce. I will definitely be coming back to try more items on the menu next time! read more

Momo Cha - Pork and chicken pan fried dumplings - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

The highlight of my trip to Detroit Shipping Company! I ordered the 4 pc of each type of momo/dumpling: vegetarian, pork, and chicken. I picked a different prep style for each, and got the mint cilantro, tamarind, and tomato dipping sauces. Easy ordering interface online, you get a text when your order is fulfilled and ready for pickup. Of the three styles, I wasn't in love with the deep fried. It was just too much crunch and competed with the flavor of the filling. The pan fried and steamed iterations were the best- excellent texture, highlighted the dough and the filling. Ranked, chicken was the best, then pork, then the veggie a close third. Of the sauces, the mint cilantro was supreme. I want to drink it and bathe in it. 12 large dumplings total for under $20 with tax and tip, definitely a decent deal. I'll definitely come back to try the rest of the menu! read more

A fun Nepali spot located in Detroit shipping company! Pros: good variety, lots of filling in the samosas Cons: they didn't have the pakoras available which I was looking forward to!, not much flavor in the samosas but the crisp was very good I definitely would like to come back to try some of their dumplings next time! read more

My first experience with Nepalese cuisine did not disappoint. We had dumplings; full of flavor, with unique and flavorful sauces to complement them. They have an adequate selection of menu items for the type of venue and the service was quick. The location is trendy, in a food court style setup. They had live music and a couple of bars that make this a great hangout joint. It's worth a try. read more

Momo Cha might be my favorite "station" at Detroit Shipping Co. The momos took a while to make, but they were incredibly fresh and delicious! The pan-fried veggie momos were great, the steamed ones were even better, BUT the curried seasonal veggies were the best! If I would have know how good they were going to be, I definitely would have ordered more! VERY vegan and vegetarian friendly, too. read more

Came here to eat on 07/14. Shows open but when we reached they seemed to be closed due to a private event. Came all the way from Canton. Never again read more

Their dumplings were the highlight of my smorgasbord lunch at Detroit Shipping Company. I also had the samosas, which were very good. I liked 2 out of 3 sauces (the green and the brown). Worth a visit, the line was short and I could see staff prepping dumplings in the open kitchen! Very cool. read more

Okay, but not really what I was expecting. I ordered a snack size (4 dumplings) of pork dumplings. You get to choose if you want them to be steamed, pan-fried, or deep-fried; I chose steamed to be a little healthier. You also get to choose if you want chicken, pork, or tofu, as well as your dipping sauce (I chose tomato chutney, although the mint chutney sounded intriguing as well). The dumplings were fine but nothing really special. I'm still giving them four stars because I think if I had gotten them pan-fried or maybe try a different meat it would have been better. It had some sort of curry in it which I was not expecting. That being said, I would still come back here and try a different combination of dumplings. read more

This place was a great find recently while pub crawling. Located in the Detroit Shipping Company complex, it's one of several little tasty eateries that coexist with a full bar for your drinking needs. The main dish on their quite compact menu is dumplings. There are several proteins, sauces, and cooking styles. Pick your combination, pay, get your buzzer, and they page you when it's ready. I selected pork pan fried with roasted soybean and sesame chutney. The sauce was a bit like an aioli, and the dumplings themselves were simply divine. Perfectly crisp on the outside of the dumpling, but soft underneath, the wonderful wontons concealed a very tasty and perfectly spicy and seasoned pork filling that went great with the sauce. I also sampled the mint cilantro chutney from a fellow diner's plate, and found it to be delicious as well. Although we only ordered the 4 piece snack on tbis trip, I could have easily made a full meal from this place. It was great food, and a quite decent price, and made to order! Definitely check this place out if you make your way to Detroit Shipping Company. read more

My first experience with nepalese food, so I could be a little off-base, but... Veggie dumpling stuffing is mediocre. The green chutney tastes storebought or a little worse. ‍ read more

Momo Cha - veggie pan-fried dumplings and green chutney - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Interesting food, and very tasty dumplings! I went for the steamed pork option, with the soybean and sesame chutney. I will say I've had dumplings with more of a tender wrap on them, but the pork was very tasty and the chutney was delicious. We also had the loaded Nepali fries, and they were interesting, but just ok. Would go back and maybe try the pan fried or deep fried, well maybe all of them! I love dumplings :) read more

Let me start by saying that this is the first Nepali restaurant in Detroit. Being a Nepali living in Detroit, this is a life changing experience for me. I met with the humble owners Chef Lama, who is Nepali and Louisa. The Momos are great, i mean just like in Nepal. I read a comment someone complaining that they were not round. In Nepal they come in all shape and sizes. Its a preference. The chicken curry also had a unique Nepali taste. You have to try it. read more

Dissapointed ..Personally I feel the flavor needs to b kicked up a few notches..esp in the veg momo..more ginger maybe. The wrapper was on point..and what is a momo place without an amazing momo chutney..sauces r a lil weak..wanted to really love this place. Taipei frozen potstickers r more flavorful..have had the opportunity to have momos in Tibet, Nepal n India..its the chutney n filling that makes the momo lipsmacking..maybe for our western palate its subdued..not happy posting this review. PS..did not try the hot sauce...maybe that's what I was missing! read more

Delicious dumplings in Detroit! I haven't tried or had many dumplings living in the Metro Detroit area. I feel there aren't many options for dumplings. REAL DUMPLINGS. When I saw this place on Instagram, I had to go try it and it HIT THE SPOT! The dumplings were so delicious. I loved getting all the varieties of what they had available. I order the deep fried, pan fried and the steamed. I let my boyfriend select the fillings to go in each because he is a dumpling fiend. They were all awesome. Also, the french fry chaat was SUPER delicious. It was something I have never had before and it was something I couldn't stop eating. They were surprising refreshing loaded fries. I would definitely order everything again! Enjoy! read more

I love this place! Very flavorful and delicious food. The pan fried pork momo were off the chain! I had a side of hot sauce and boy, they were extremely hot. Not many people would like that but I love extreme level of heat. Might even ask if they sell a bottle of it? We devoured all 10 in seconds, next time I will order 20 instead! I also order Makhani aka butter chicken. I've eaten tons of butter chicken and this is one of the best Makhani I ever tasted. Very unique, perfect amount of spice and sweetness. I love the cashew flavor. Big chunky chicken too, a bit on the dry side but very delicious nonetheless. Will definitely be going here again for more pork momos! read more

I ordered the French Fry Chaat and Steamed Pork Momos . French Fry Chaat was a very different take on loaded fries than I'm used to. I'm used to deep, rich, fatty flavors on top of the fries and this is the total opposite. Its a burst of freshness. It has a bright acidity to it and then the cilantro with the onions. It's very different. I didn't care for it too much but my fiancé loved it. He ate the entire thing. I'm a chili cheese fry kind of girl what can I say. The true winner are the dumplings aka Momos. I could eat a dozen easily. They're crimped so beautifully and they taste just as good. Can't wait to go back for those dumplings. read more

I'm a big fan of Desi food so I was really happy to find one of a few spots that served Nepalese food. The restaurant is located inside Detroit Shipping Co. I ordered the Pan Seared Chicken Momos with Cilantro Mint sauce, Chicken Kabob, and Chaat Fries. I have a good spice tolerance but their hot sauce definitely made me take a few sips of water so beware! read more

Honestly, I wanted to like this place a lot. I've been waiting for it for months and the anticipation was killing me. The dumplings did taste fresh, however it wasn't one of the best dumplings I've had or tasted. I ordered both the chicken and veggies dumplings with the red sauce which was okay. I also ordered the veggie platter meal which tasted better then the dumplings IMO. Will I come back? For sure, but I'm not sure if this would be my first stop if I did come back to DSC. I had a group of 6 with me and we all ordered something different and the consensus was the same....I would have given this place a 4 star but I think the anticipation and hype killed it for me. Still the best place for any type of dumplings is Jeff's Kitchen (I know I know, not the same dumplings but still....). read more

I want to give this review at least 3.5 stars because the cash register person was really nice, but I tried the pork dumplings and it as a little disappointed. It was recommended to me pan-fried but the crisp wasn't there, and the pork tasted old like it was left in the freezer for a while. The tomato chutney and mint cilantro sauces were recommended to me, which were the best part of the meal. The cilantro mint was refreshing, the tomato chutney was light. Together they taste better. Apparently the pork dumplings has more flavor than the chicken. Price was kind of pricey, imo: 8 for $9 I'll have to try the other items and update this post read more
