Went shopping at Key Food a couple blocks away with my wife and her Aunt from Mexico. I was really hungry and figured we could introduce Tia to a style of food from another Latin American country. As soon as I opened Yelp, I saw that there was a Himalayan restaurant nearby. I've never tried that before, and I knew it was a great chance to freak out Tia. I'm so glad we came. I ordered Samosas, Beef Momo (steamed), and the wife got a Shrimp Pad Thai, which she liked. I really liked the Momo... it was so damned juicy I ate it like a soup dumpling, but with my hands. The only problems I have with this place... there was only one server for a busy night (though who would think it would be busy on a Monday???) and the Samosas were freaking SPICY. My Mexican Aunt even thought so. It was good, but they should put a chili next to it on the menu. Anyway, I will likely be back! read more

A small restaurant tucked away in Jackson Heights. I came here with 3 prefers for dinner. We ordered 2 types of momos, cold and spicy mung bean salad, a soup with tofu and hand pulled noodles, and shredded potatoes. All of the dishes were full of flavor. The staff were attentive and were on top things; they even shared what sauces paired well with the momos. Worth visiting if you're in the area. read more

I ordered take out today (for pick up). I am always ambivalent when I see pan-Asian menus and not a more specialized cuisine. Regardless, I ordered Chinese food and Tibetan food and as expected it was hit and miss. I arrived a bit early, and it was clear by the flag and photo that it was primarily a Tibetan restaurant. The hostess told me ten minutes (I walked out with my food 22 min later) after ordering 40 minutes before. One star off for being very late. Another star off for the inedible Chinese vegetables with brown sauce. I can usually make meh food work, but this horrible taste made me toss it. My wife liked the Chicken with Broccoli, and I concur. The chicken momos had very thick and puffy skin, which may appeal to some but my wife and I prefer thinner skin. However. the filling was tasty. In Jackson Heights there are many amazing Tibetan restaurants to order from and this is average. Order Tibetan elsewhere. You can get better Chinese food elsewhere. My Recommendation: I am trying to think of a reason to order from this restaurant and cannot. Perhaps you live around the corner and can find one or two dishes that work for you? Otherwise, skip it and you will never miss it. read more

We came here to try last year's momo champion during the 2024 12th annual momo crawl. These momos were larger than any of the others we had tried (24 places participated) and had a moist and flavorful meat filling. Definitely a top choice for momos. The restaurant is very small and intimate and I would love to return to try some other dishes. read more

Om Wok - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

What we ordered: 1: Shadhaklep, Shrimp Chili Garlic Fried Rice and Chicken Fried Rice 2: Shrimp Chili Garlic Fried Rice 3: Fried Beef Momo (8 pcs) 4: Chicken Fried Rice 5: Steamed Beef Momo (8 pcs) 6: Spicy French Fries Om Wok is highly recommended as one of the main restaurants to visit during the Momo Crawl. We decided to order their steamed and fried beef momos and they did not disappoint! Dumplings are HUGE, come in hungry! We stated off with the spicy french fries which were very crunchy and addicting. The Shadhaklep, which is a fried pie with beef filling was delicious. We also had the shrimp chili garlic fried rice and chicken fried rice and both dishes were super flavorful and filling. Overall...not only did this place have delicious food but it was also extremely affordable! We definitely recommend you giving it a try if you're ever in Jackson Heights, Queens! read more

Amazing Mo Mos. Loved them. Om Wok is always a "go to" for us. Nothing beats the value of this place.

This review is for the Jackson Height location. I took some of my friends who were visiting New York to try tibetian food. We went there on a saturday night and this place is small with both indoor and outdoor seatings. Everytime i went there, the foods were very salty, but this time it was good. I am south asian so i eat spicy food, but it was very spicy for me. We got beef momo and i felt like it got way too big, but juicy. Some aloo dum ( potatoes), pork chilly with tingmo, beef shyabhaley and C. Momo. Service was fast, but we ordered a lot of food, so had to take it to go. read more

When the Chinese restaurant across the street from Om Wok closed-down for summer vacation a couple of weeks ago, I started going to Om Wok for their reasonably priced luncheon specials. My favorite dish soon became the yellow curry shrimp that included a bowl of white rice and a glass of ice tea which came with a check for $12.44 plus a 20% tip of $2.50. Yesterday, I went to Om Wok and ordered the same dish for my lunch that I have been having for the past two weeks or so. When I asked for my tab, I was shocked to see a total of $23.76 on my check for the exact same meal I have been having there for some two weeks now and which is double what I have been paying for this luncheon special for the past two weeks. I was charged $15.99 for the Curried Shrimp, An additional charge of $3.00 was added for the bowl of rice that previously came with the shrimp curry and a charge of 3% was added to my tab for paying with a credit card. When I questioned my bill, the waitress become defensive and argumentative, justifying the new charge as a Thai dish that is not included in the $10.99 Lunch Specials that was a bald-faced lie.! Thai shrimp is the 16th item down on the list of $10.99 luncheon specials. The only thing different about it, was the arrangement of the words. Seeing that arguing with her was totally useless, I reluctantly passed my Amex Credit card to her to process but not before telling her that she had just lost a customer. and which fell on deaf ears. The final insult came when she handed me the credit slip for $23.76, along with a pen, asking me if I wanted to add a tip since it stated that no signature was required. Hello? Needless to say, I won't be going back there anytime soon and will be returning to the Chinese restaurant across the street just as soon they come back from vacation. read more

So this review is only for beef momos. And why? This place is winner of the infamous Momo Crawl, for a few years in a row! And after trying them, I can see why. I've tried versions from other restaurants and it's such a difference. Others can be dry, small, tough and chewy. Nothing worse than chewing on a Momo dumpling skin like it was gum. What is a Momo? A version of a dumpling from the Tibetan and Nepali cuisine. At Om Wok, the momos are huge pillowy bundles with juicy beef filling. Nice and flavorful. Watch out when you take a bite, the liquid from the filling may squirt out. I am saying this as juicy beef liquid, drips down my favorite shirt. A very small place with a couple of tables. Not much room to stand around. A very tight squeeze. A television is hung high on the wall, for your viewing pleasure. Super tiny place, so dining areas are also used for storage. Service is quick, friendly and efficient. Looking to try your first Momo? Come here! Start with the best first! read more

Pretty yummy comfort food in the heart of Jackson Heights. Went here w a few friends for lunch and it was a memorable experience. We got the momos of course and I wasn't expecting it to taste like a warm hug around my tongue. The fries had a kick to it as well as the rice. The seating itself is very limited however they provide take out as well. I will be coming back to try out what else they have to offer! read more

The food is very good and inexpensive. I had a veg thenthuk and potato cheese spinach momo. The momos were cooked to just the right chewiness with a creamy filling. The noodle soup was warm and slightly tart, with chewy noodles and vegetables. The chili oil provided at the table was a nice accompaniment. There is very limited seating so taking out might be for the best when it is busy. read more

I only ordered take out food for pick up from here once. We were craving momos and ended up getting the beef momos. One plate which included about 8 large momos was $10. I'm used to having the smaller momos so when I had Om Wok's momos I was shocked at the size. They're huge and one plate is definitely shareable among two. They do have soup in them which tasted great. Their red sauce definitely gives a kick so be weary how much you put on your momos. The momos we had were good but definitely large and can be messy to eat haha. read more

Om Wok - 8 Piece Momo - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

This place has previously won the Momo Crawl competition and I can understand why. Their Momos are juicy and huge! I had the beef momos and surprisingly it has soup inside which was so flavorful. You should use the spicy sauce provided on the side, definitely not for the weak on the spice but is so addicting. $10 is such a steal for such big momos. This is a small store with some seating, cute place would come back again Friendly and attentive service, and it seems like it's family run? read more

Om Wok was voted to have the best Momos in the 2022 Momo Crawl. We arrived here around 8pm on a Friday and the restaurant had one occupied table. We were seated right away and ordered the beef Momos and spicy tripe. It felt like a mom and pop shop as there was only one person working the registers and serving / hosting the restaurant. The beef Momos were much bigger and juicier than I anticipated. They taste amazing with the hot sauce provided. The spicy tripe was also an interesting yet addicting dish. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant. read more

This has been my go to spot since I moved to the area for work in Oct. The customer service and consistency can't be beat. This is my initial foray into Nepalese/Tibetan food and after a few visits I was asked whether I would like to try some of the home style items and I would have been an idiot NOT to give em a shot. My favs have been the spicy beef with the mixed veg. It's been my go to so much so that when I was in the hostess put's in my order while I get a seat and go wash up. Please so support this fantastic small business. read more

Came here after hearing that this place won the 2022, momo crawl and ordered a wide variety of things here. Ordered the chilli momos, chilli chicken (kai chi) along with the steamed beef momos. While the chilli momo and kai chi were decent they werent all that memorable, the stand out star of the show here is definitely the steamed beef momos! Had my fair share of momos but ive never had momos that were as juicey, umami filled and as rich as the ones ive had here. It reminded me of a weird hybrid of a momo with soup dumplings almost with how much juice was in it. This along with all the condiments to go along with the momos, i could see why they were the 2022 winners read more

Just ordered general tsao chicken and it was disgusting. It was squishy and slimy and fatty. The 'meat' didn't taste like chicken at all. It wet bt straight in the garbage and in on my wart to another restaurant to get the same order. The only good thing was there green broccoli but it went in the trash with the slimy squishy 'meat.' Mera's Tip: stick to the momos read more

The food is great, especially the momos and the thenthuk. But the SERVICE--eh. One of the staff, a young woman, is unreliable. Honestly, I feel bad for her because she seems so young. She abruptly asked us what we wanted to order and didn't realize she hadn't even given us menus. For payment, we left 2 credit cards with the check, assuming she'd know to split it. Instead, she chose to put it all on one card without even asking which card. When I pointed out that we wanted to split it, she groaned and looked frustrated. Why else would we put 2 cards down? The other waiter we've had, a different woman, is so much nicer and more attentive. read more

Finally got a chance to dine in past week. Ordered beef momo's and beef chowmein. Momo's were some of the best I've had. Akin to massive soup dumplings! a lot more flavorful and meatier. Beef chowmein as very flavorful, with smokiness from wok hue. Cozy little place where I'll go back again and again. Service was friendly, attentive and quick. Lastly- Kudos to the chef! read more

Om Wok - Beef Momo's and Beef Chowmein - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

Om Wok came highly recommended as one of the main restaurants I should visit during the Momo Crawl. In fact, I was eating momos at Nepali Bhanchha Ghar. A young woman sitting next to me said she had gone to 18 different restaurants during the Momo Crawl and although Nepali Bhanchha Ghar had won the competition 4 years in a row, she said Om Wok was her favorite. I didn't have much room left in my stomach, but I knew I had to try the beef momo at Om Wok. The restaurant is a bit difficult to find. It's not on Roosevelt Avenue as the address states but on 41st street. It's a small restaurant with very little inside seating. However they do have a few tables outdoor as well. The beef within the beef momo was one of the best I ever tasted. It was juicy and delicious. The wrapper was thin and not too chewy. Delicately made. I also ordered a Thai iced tea which was amazing. Definitely one of the best ones I've had in awhile. As my friend and I were enjoying our beef momos and Thai iced teas, there started to be a lot of commotion coming towards the restaurant. We were wondering what's going on? Out of 31 momo restaurants in Jackson Heights, Om Wok won the popular vote as the best one for 2022. It was memorable to be there as the staff was notified and given a Momo championship belt. So make sure you try these award winning momos! read more

Their food is so good. This weekend we ordered chicken w broccoli (a bit spicey, but yummy), chicken fried rice, shrimp with lobster sauce and their delicious beef Momo's! It was a delicious feast. Nice sized portions. We're always happy when we get food from Om Wok! read more

Yes. Just yes. Yasssss. Fast and kind service. Clean and small space. The Tibetan items we ordered brought me life. I love this spot. Spinach and potato momos all day. The c-momo were god damn good. Shredded potatoes were surprisingly tasty. Btw these items had KICK to them so be prepared, both burn-off-your-face spicy and tasty/flavorful. Super casual environment, but comfy too. read more

Previously I have it a couple of stars. They were so slow that it affected my review. Now it's up to 4 stars, if they can speed it up they get a 5. I love the Tibetan dishes the most. Laping is spicy delicious. Lollipop wings awesome. I just love momos, pretty good. I like it all. Sin my favorite is the beef Chilli. Is available in chicken and pork also. Spicy good. My favorite. If you like Indian. Butter chicken hits the spot. Wonton soup nice broth. As a matter of fact I'll bump it up to 5. Highly recommend. Family owned basic good fare from good people read more

Om Wok serves my favorite beef momo. The momos are huge and they are perfectly juicy. I also love getting them frozen to make at home. The store itself is small but has both good outdoor and indoor seating. Their spicy fries are also really good with delicious spices and crispy. read more

This restaurant is all over the place. I came out to Jackson Heights to check out my friends' new place and we went for lunner (dunch?) here. You get your choice of Thai, Chinese, Indian, or Tibetan food along with a mural on the wall that I at first questioned if it was a landscape of Mexico and then later thought about it and realized there are some form of temples that look like pyramids and mountains probably in like Nepal or Tibet. But I'm still weirdly getting this adobe Mexican village vibe. The place is pretty empty which makes it great for bringing in kids. The drinks - nothing too remarkable. You have cheap watered down beer and cheap flavorless table wine for $5. I think if they concentrated their focus on a cuisine the food could be better. I tried their spicy crinkle cut fries which are one of the random things that tasted the best. Their momos are also pretty decent - but only the beef. The potato are pretty horrible. It's like they tried to americanize something that should never be americanized. I think they were going for a thanksgiving take on a dumpling so it had celery and carrots finely diced into the mashed potato mixture and it tasted just gross. Stick to butter and chives, salt/pepper and you're good. My friend went the indian route and ordered chicken tikka masala. It wasn't spicy which was good for her but it didn't taste like indian food. It tasted like a thicker tomato soup. I ordered the shrimp pad thai. Shrimp were fine but the noodles tasted kind of weirdly sweet and I noticed the color was more orange than normal. I'm curious if they dumped sweet chili oil on top of it or even worse a duck or sweet and sour sauce and called it a day. But it's pretty hard to mess up pad thai I feel and this just didn't taste that good. I think because there are so many cuisines, its just suffering a little. Don't change the beef momo recipe though. Those are pretty great. Two thumbs up. read more

Dropped in to try their momo since they won the momo crawl. I think beef is probably the way to go here -- I ordered chicken momos and while they were tasty and juicy with the unique bite of celery, they didn't blow me away. Small space with a couple tables. read more

A local favorite of ours. Delicious food. We've tried many dishes and all have been great!

The rice was old and the chicken was soggy. After eating our stomachs felt ubcomfortable.

A great hole in the wall to get momos. We got the beef momos and a chicken dish with buns to dip in. We also got like a fried version of the momos- something similar to empanadas. You got to dip the momos in the spicy sauce. The food can be spicy but it was tasty. read more

Om Wok is not a regular Chinese take out restaurant. It is a fusion of a variety of Asian cultures: Chinese, Thai, Indian, and Nepali. My office decided to order Chinese take out and I tried their hot and sour soup and beef with broccoli. The beef with broccoli came with a mountain full of beef but the sauce could have been thicker. The proportion was large but the entree as a whole was dry. The hot and sour soup was too watery and the pieces of vegetables were tiny. I could taste the Nepalese flavors and spices but it was too strong to be in the soup. read more
