    It's a nice, small restaurant with really good Nepalese food. The food does take a bit for it to be ready, but the wait is worth it. Their momo (dumplings) is very filling no matter what you choose.

    Friendly staff and portions are big! The interior is super cute as well I liked the Thai soup momos the best, but my friends and I also split the regular momos and the tandoori momos, and everything was delicious! Not the best momos I've ever had but still a really solid option! Mango lassi was amazing too!

    The momos here are amazing! You just cannot go wrong. From what I've tried so far, the fried momos, tandoori, and sizzler are delicious! The Chaat was pretty good, too. You can also buy them frozen so you can make them at home whenever you want. So dope! The restaurant is so simple yet so cute. It's cozy and the wall decor is funny and artsy. I've come twice already and will be back for more.

    Steamed momo with Kathmandu sauce; chicken fried rice
    Nancy A.

    I was in Jackson Heights yesterday and wanted to get some Momos and saw that Momo Crave is very popular. Went there and saw lots of different momo platters. Decided to go with the main dish of steamed chicken momos. Comes in 10 for $10.99. Also got chicken fried rice for $9.99. Had to wait a while for the food to get ready and decided to use the bathroom in the meantime. The bathroom surprisingly fit my baby stroller even though it was so narrow! I did not need to open the bathroom door or leave my baby unattended outside the bathroom! Anyways, the restaurant was not that crowded on a Saturday afternoon so there were enough seats for me to sit and wait. After some time, I decided to dine in despite the fact that my food was supposed to be takeout. The staff did not complain so I enjoyed my momos and fried rice with my daughter. The momos looked really good and big! Very different than Chinese dumplings that I always get. These momos are round! Also the stuffing tastes different and has some ingredient that stood out in my mouth! The Kathmandu sauce added some flavor although I like to enjoy the momos without any sauce so you can taste it raw without any added flavors. The sauce tasted kind of like subtle peanut sauce. However, the momos were really good! I chowed them down really fast! The fried rice was pretty good too. Lots of peas and carrots apart from the chicken. Chicken was so tender that I can slice the long pieces into bits with my spoon. That's how tender they are. You don't even need a sharp knife! Rice was basmati rice and very long grain! Thin and long rice! My favorite! Very seasoned and flavorful! Will be heading back next time to get more of their other momo flavors!

    I came to Momo Crave excited to finally try jhol momos for the first time. The dish came out very picturesque: a bowl of steamed dumplings swimming in a vibrant, creamy-looking sauce. Flavor-wise, the jhol was tangy, sesame-heavy, and had a nutty richness vaguely reminiscent of Fujianese ban mian 拌面 - which, admittedly, isn't my favorite. If you're a fan of those earthy, peanut-y, slightly sharp flavors, you might really enjoy it. For me personally, it just wasn't quite my thing. That said, the momos themselves were well made - soft, juicy, and super comforting. The meal took about 15-20 minutes to arrive. The vibe of the place was casual and chill, and the staff were kind. I'm definitely not writing this place off & will be back to try their chili momos next time.

    Absolutely fire Firstly, their menu options are so tempting - good luck picking out what you want. I ordered Chaat momos and my friend got Chili momos. I added one Mango lassi. The Chaat momos were really really good. Perfect blend of spice, hot and cold combination and flavor. The mango lassi was refreshing as well. My friend liked the Chili momos a lot as well. It wasn't very spicy - but still very unique and good. Absolutely recommend.

    Jackson Heights is the capital of momos, the Tibetan dumplings. Momo Crave is on the fringe of it, just 2-3 blocks away, on the other side of BQE. The exterior is very unassuming, but it does have a nicely made signage. The interior is pleasant, with small tables along the perimeter, leaving the center of the space unobstructed. Good feng-shui I might say. Walls are decorated with random framed posters and art, some are rather whimsical. The bathroom sign says "Pee Pee Room". Yes, someone has a sense of humor indeed. This being a fusion restaurant, the menu is fun and interesting; but simple and not overwhelming at the same time because it specializes on momos. And all of them are very affordably priced, come with 8 pieces. You really can't go wrong with any. You order and pay at the counter first, and they bring the dishes to your table. Here were our orders (PS. the menu prices are cash prices. The prices reference below are credit card prices): Chilli Momo $12.47. The momos are in their traditional dumpling form, fried I believe, and coated with chilli sauce. Sauce wasn't very spicy, a bit tangy and felt a bit heavy. Good. Tandoori Momo $12.47. Round momos on skewers. This is a nice fun take on momos. Also good. Thai Soup Momo $11.99. Momos are shaped like the Chinese soup dumplings and served over Thai curry soup. This was my favorite. The fragrance of lemongrass accentuated the dish, and the light curry provided the abundance of moist for every bite. There is no question that we will be back to try the rest of their many other takes on momos.

    I had this spot bookmarked for so long. There were so many different types of momos and all of them sounds so convincing that it was hard to pick. We settled for the fried momo and Thai soup momo. We ordered at the counter when entering and they bring it to the table. The fried momo had a nice light crispy texture. However, the momo were so salty. The sauce also didn't do very much. The Thai soup momo were delicious. I really like the lemongrass in the soup. The only downside was the momo got stuck to the paper bowl. I usually suck up the juicy goodness, but couldn't with this one, but I enjoyed the broken pieces like noodles. The shop is really bright and carefree. It is self serve and I really like that, no pressure at all. The bathroom sign and shop sign on the shop adds a nice simple and humorous touch. I will come back to try again, since it is different and who can say no to momo.

    Got momos delivered . Very good and tasty. Loved. Meat filled with nice toppings. Not spicy.

    Back to say the tandoori momo is absolutely insane - don't think, just order. Beef was fantastic. Chaat momo and momo eith jhol also hold up! Got them both with chicken.

    A long pending review for this place! I had visited Momo Crave while visiting New York last Christmas break. And may I say, my friends and I were obsessed with this place. So much so that sometimes, the agenda of the day was to catch a bus, and 2 subway just to eat momo here :) Starting with the place.. its decent, not too small or big (from NY standard). The ambience is tasteful (few artwork on the wall) and the place is clean. We usually found seating immediately. The staff was courteous and the service was damn fast, Between the four of us, we would devour the incoming momo plates within minutes. Absolutely loved the tandoori chicken momo!! Its too good :) The others were also ok, tried: chilli chicken, veggie momo In my 10 day NYC trip, I went to Momo Crave thrice, and would go back whenever I am visiting!

    Chaat momo and Chilli Momo
    Toyosi O.

    The food was delicious and came out in a timely fashion. This was my first time having Nepali dumplings and I am obsessed - especially with the chili momo! The night that we came, they were playing an amazing playlist which created a nice, calm vibe. Would definitely come again!

    Thai Soup Momo
    Fateha A.

    We got: 1) 3/5 "Sandeko Momo- $10.99 with spicy tangy sauce - tomato, onion & soybeans". The soybeans are crunchy. This is fried, so the shell is slightly crispy, but it gets soggy fast. It was good, but it def wuda been better if it was more warm. It was slightly cold. 2) 3/5 "Chaat Momo-$10.99 dipped in Yogurt - onion, tomato, tamarind, green chutney" This definitely has a desi flavor, but I found the yogurt a bit bland otherwise. My friend loved it tho. 3) 3/5 Thai soup momo isn't on the online menu, so it must be a new dish. I liked the broth, it was pretty spicy. My friend said the broth was too salty tho. The momo is decent. 4) 3/5 Mango lasso is good. It's sour, thick & filling. 1 of us didn't like it cuz it's sour, the others did.

    Ask the Community - Momo Crave

    Are there vegetarian momos?

    All the momos (to my surprise) can be made veg! So the entire menu is vegetarian friendly! Not all items are vegan friendly, they do use eggs in some elements. Make sure to ask accordingly if you adhere to vegan. Otherwise, vegetarian is fine!

    Do they use Halal meat?

    I have verbally confirmed with the owner that all meat is Zabihah halal. While they don't post it on a sign, the verbal confirmation was reassuring! Also, they don't serve any pork or alcohol products.

The kitchen here doesn't shy away from traditional flavors--the food is unapologetically spicy and savory, avoiding the "overly sweet" profile that many Thai spots fall into. Here's the breakdown of what we tried: Tom Yum Goong: This was the star of the show. It had a sharp, clean heat and a perfect citrus punch without that syrupy finish you often find elsewhere. Crispy Pork Belly: Exactly what you want it to be. The skin was incredibly crunchy, and the meat remained tender, seasoned perfectly to highlight the savory pork flavor. Fried Fish: Deep-fried to perfection with a light, crispy exterior. The sauce paired chili and fish sauce with fresh mango. Crab Fried Rice: Generous with the crab meat and wonderfully "wok-hei" (charred) and salty. It wasn't bogged down by sweet soy sauce, allowing the delicate crab to shine. The only real sweetness of the night came from the Mango Sticky Rice, which was the perfect, cooling end to a very spicy meal. The mango was ripe and the coconut milk was rich, providing the only sugary reprieve of the evening. Service was so nice. The hostess and sever were so nice and friendly. The severer felt like a Thai uncle, he made jokes, gave us napkins, joked with my child. It felt so familial. If you want authentic, spicy Thai food that prioritizes salt, spice, and acid over sweetness, this is your spot.

Kam Rai Thai has a very cozy and warm atmosphere with fake flowers decor everywhere. Street parking can be hard at times and involve circling around a few times. Food menu can be accessed by QR code and paper menu for drinks. The first time I visited Kam Rai Thai, I shared the papaya salad with my friend and had the Pad woon sen with shrimp. The papaya salad with green papaya, string bean, tomato and roasted peanut with spicy lime juice was refreshing and light. The Pad woon sen has sauteed glass noodle, egg, onion, scallion, cabbage, celery, carrot, tomato and sesame oil. The second time I visited, I had the Pad see ew with beef. The Pad see ew has sauteed wide noodles with Chinese broccoli, black soy sauce, and egg. Both dishes were very flavorful, delicious, delectable, and appetizing. The dishes were very filling and there was a good proportion of noodles and protein. I've had the Rainfall in Loei and Fang Martini Time, both are really good drinks and not overly strong. We shared the mango sticky rice for dessert and it was good. The mango was very fresh and the sticky rice with coconut milk was sweet, but not overly. My friends ordered the Kopi De Trang, Spicy Maesai Plum, Rainfall in Loei, Thai ice tea lychee, pad see ew with chicken, pad kee mao beef (non spicy), and khao soi gai confit. I ordered a pad kee mao beef with a spice level of 2 to go. It is a great option to have a spicy and non spicy option for pad kee mao. Everyone enjoyed their food. Staff are very friendly and the food come out very quickly after ordering. There is a 5% discount if you pay with cash and a 2.95% surcharge for credit cards. Kam Rai Thai serves authentic Thai food and I can't wait to come back. It is a great place for friends to catch up.

Maybe not cozy but you're not really going to linger here. Service is good but a little hectic. Friendly staff but they get a pass as they dish out noodles, apps, drinks and more. You're spoiled for choice here but everything is pretty good so I'll call out the extraordinary items. The fish broths are amazing, sweet in the seafood way with a deep richness of flavor. The black fish slices (poorly translated from Chinese, sorry) were satisfying. Boneless and tender. It's a small cost to upgrade from regular fish (I believe it's grass carp) but it's worth it though unfortunately I can't help much in terms of naming the upgrade in English. Their popcorn chicken is well executed, with light crunchy batter and well-seasoned meat. Their fruit drinks are nice too, including the pomelo grape and the peach. Ask for less sugar if that's your thing. Portions are ridiculous but admittedly we over ordered on purpose. Also, it's a common move to ask for the free noodle refill before getting your leftovers to go though we did not partake in the excess here. The bowls are already never-ending buckets of goodies. We did take our leftover broth though. No shame. In fact I'd be more ashamed if we wasted the soup.

The restaurant is a few blocks from the main street of Steinway so it'll take a bit of searching. Going inside, the area is rather abstract.

Service was lukewarm, I got my order in but the two workers inside weren't too receptive and the menu itself is kinda barebones with most of their food being a bit more than I would like to pay for so I just settled on one order of Singapore Mei Fun. After waiting 10 minutes for my food to arrive, the Singapore noodles which are usually spicy were kinda salty but it was nothing a bit of duck sauce wouldn't fix.

The dandan noodles my friend ordered were maybe my favorite, they were the perfect level of spicy and so flavorful without being overwhelming. I'd go back just for my own plate of those.
