Ate there on opening day; had chicken mono, veggie mono, and a mango lassi. The food was great, came out fast and was delicious. They gave us a free cup of chai too. Very happy to have them in the neighborhood.

Momo is really good, jhol is not. No newari flavor in either.

We had a great time there with friends. There was no tent but the weather was nice and the heat lamps did the job. The staff seemed friendly, courteous and plenty of smiles at the counter. 5/5 so far. Food is where we had to try really really hard to appreciate the business all the way. We found more of a generic Nepali/Indian restaurant flavor that is available at any location we can find around the Bay Area. There was no flavors that would speak itself as a newari dish. Being newars ourselves from different parts of Nepal, our group had high hopes to finally find a place to claim as our new joint but seems the search is still on. 2/5 is being generous. The quality is there for a food truck but flavors not quite. Momo was good but jhol brought it down. We will stopby again as the business is new so we wish you the best of luck and hope to see you improve.

Newari Kitchen delivers on its name with fast service, friendly staff, and legit flavors. I absolutely love their khuwa Yomari. The outdoor seating is a nice touch, and the covered space is just as inviting. If you're after authentic Newari food, this place is the real deal.

I've have followed Anup before his Food Truck business came about and learned how to make C momos…read morefrom his Youtube videos after returning from Nepal. It's taken me a minute to get here and was pleasantly suprised. It's essentials a lot with some parking ample space to sit and eat and there is another food stall as well as the Momo food truck, which only serves momo. If you want to try other Nepali dishes go over to the food stand his brother runs. I ordered my C- Chicken Momo, which is made fresh because they give you a little vibrating tag which lets you know when it is ready. I also got some buff (as in water buffalo) skewura (skewers) I had my pupster with me, so it's a dog friend place cuz it's outdoor seating, so I took it home. Oh my the c- momos was so good (they ask you spice level) I took mine to Nepali medium, the buff skewurs were so good and served on puffed rice with slices of cumber and a hot sauce. I definitely will be back, because they have a Newari dish called Barra, which I will be getting. The Nepali people are very nice as well. So if you have spent time in Nepal and missing the food, try this place.

Located next to the Peppermint Tree Plaza, MOMOlicious offers authentic Nepali bites in casual fashion. I appreciated the menu explaining what a mo mo is, the type of fillings offered, and different mo mo menu options. We ordered the Ultimate Jhol Mo:mo (steamed momo) served in a classic soup made from sesame seeds, tomato, cilantro, and soybean. We chose chicken. We also ordered the Nepali Chowmein with chicken as well. Loved the unique flavors, the textures, and exploration of this culinary cuisine. The owner came over and chatted with us about the menu and future of the space. Earlier in the day they brought mini ponies for the kiddos to ride! Very much looking forward to bringing our friends back here as the weather is getting better for corn hole and outdoor entertainment. Also looking forward to exploring more of the menu, meats, and other mo mo options (maybe the crispy version next time) and mango lassi. You can really feel the love made in the food here and excitement for what's to come ~ congratulations on your new opening in EC!

Conveniently located next to the hotsy totsy this taco truck has won awards and they deserved even more flowers. You know its good when you see every age, every ethnicity, make the line and order their favorite. The ambience it's pretty welcoming as you can see the nice ladies helping those that have questions and also welcome back regular customers. They accept cash and card. Also, the red salsa it's so good I usually buy some to go! Run don't walk.

I was surprised there was no line as my friend mentioned there can be a line and the price of the taco. I ordered 3 tacos- carne asada, carnitas and language from the lady. She asked if I wanted everything on it so I said yes. She also asked if I was paying cash or card. Guess it would cost more with card. Tacos came out fast on a paper plate. The lady asked if I wanted salsa, I said yes. She gave me what I think is a salsa verde. I had taken the tacos to go eat at home. I noticed that the tacos came with a lemon instead of a lime. The tacos all had onions, parsley and maybe some salsa on top. The radishes were dry. The lengua seemed to have the most flavor than the other two. The carnitas had a couple dry pieces of meat but with some added salsa it was better. The carne asada was fine, could have a little more flavor. This taco truck will not break your wallet.

I happened upon this place when me and my significant other visited The Plug Tattoo. We've seen the…read moreLoaded Chickn food truck before, usually coupled with long lines of people waiting to place an order, I naturally assumed the food must be worth the wait. On Friday we decided to give it a try. Honestly we both were hoping to order the Chicken Fried Rice but unfortunately they were completely sold out. So we opted for the Cajun Chicken tenders and fries as well as the Mango Habanero chicken wings and fries. It took about 25 minutes for our order to be completed. We were extremely pressed for time so we literally grabbed our food and left. In hindsight the time was extremely reasonable as that's how long it takes for your food to be prepared. In other words our food was made to order and not previously prepared. Let me just say the Mango Habanero wings were delicious! They were generously sauced with the right about of crispness. I found them to be flavorful and abundant. My order came with about 10 wings, fries and sauce. The sauces did not come with a lid, I was t too thrilled about that. As for the tenders, they were large, well seasoned with a dry rub, crispy and juicy. It's two days later and I am STILL thinking about my food which is a great sign. If you're in a rush, it will take a while for your food to be prepared and because the food is excellent know you will have to stand in quite a line. I would highly recommend if you enjoy chicken as there are several options to choose from. I most definitely will be returning!

Additionally, it's right in front of a noisy tire repair shop, so plan to take this food to go. With that said, the food was great! The chicken was juicy and flavorful, and they have plenty of sauce options. The fries were pretty basic, but nothing too special. My biggest complaint was the speed of the service. It took about 20+ minutes for our order to be ready, and we were the only customers the whole time we were there. The chicken was fresh, but it was far too hot to eat and I actually found that it tasted much better after sitting out for 20-30 minutes. Not sure how they can improve this, but that's how I felt.

The owner's traditional approach to greeting and serving guests is a highlight, creating a welcoming and culturally rich environment. Meals are served in a timely manner, which is much appreciated for family gatherings. The Khashi ko Bhutton Set and Khashi ko Sukuti Set are standout dishes. The Buff Jhol Momo also offers a pleasant and decent flavor profile. While the initial service is excellent, the overall experience could be further elevated by improving the attentiveness to table maintenance. More prompt clearing of empty plates once guests have finished their meal would enhance the comfort of the dining space. A wonderful destination for those seeking genuine Nepali flavors and a friendly atmosphere.

Small and clean, nestled in the corner of the El Cerrito Shopping Center off San Pablo, you'll find Zomsa. We stopped in early on a Friday night and over the course of our meal, several families and a few date night couples came through. We didn't go with an appetizer this time, rather ordered our mains right away to make kiddo bedtime: Butter Chicken, Palak Paneer, Cheese Naan, Garlic Naan, Mango Lassi for the kiddo, and beers for the parents. FYI, I noticed Zomsa now serves hard alcohol for those wanting a little extra kick! We've also ordered momos here before and the chowmein. Everything is extremely solid, fresh, flavorful, and just overall, comforting. To note, several veggie/vegan options here, shrimp dishes, and also for meat eaters: chicken, pork, buffalo, goat, beef, lamb. Service is typically always quick and efficient, and you can tell there is a lot of heart and soul in their cooking. A few seating options outside. The menu seems to be expanding since our last visit, so that's exciting to see. Pricing is fair and parking available in the shopping center.
