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!

Pork Chili
Dixya G.

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.

Breakfast set

Really good breakfast and very reasonable prices as well. Customer service was good and it was not busy when I was there so didn't have to wait for long!

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.

Momo
Nikki C.

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!

8 Piece Momo
Sejla A.

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.

Beef Momos
Lasana S.

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!

This is a nice little hidden hole in the wall restaurant just off Roosevelt Blvd. Only enough seating for maybe 12 people and two tables outdoors. Food is delicious and at a great value. There's a reason why they won the Momo Crawl award twice. Will definitely come by again.

Beef momo
Wendy L.

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?

dry with no sauce/gravy
Quanese M.

stick to what you know..i dont recommend getting noodles or chinese takeout here. go across the street or you'll be disappointed. i only recommend the MOMOS, LOLLIPOP CHICKEN and other tibetan dishes. nothing else

Boiled Beef Momos & spicy tripe
Jennifer M.

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.

8 Piece Momo, Kai Chi, c momo
Roger H.

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

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.

Anyone tried both locations, the one near 74 street and the other on northern boulevard? Would like to know if both locations are just as good

The one in Northern Boulevard is much better than the one near the 74th Street.

Butter chicken 1000/10 garlic naan 10/10 lychee drink 20/10 very flavorful Chili Garlic Fried Shrimp 1000/10 Dani Puri 9/10 mango mojito 10/10. Overall everything was 100/10 I will definitely come back and is open minded to try more food off the menu. Dominic was absolutely amazing 1000/10, I believe he knew it was my first time he was very patient with my girlfriend and myself. With an amazing smile and was just happy to help. He helped me pronounce the food items I couldn't get correct. Overall he gave me choices and options that were great that I really enjoyed. I don't remember the bartender names but he was great as well. His drinks were perfectly blended I felt like I was on vacation on a beach having them. But when I come back I definitely want to choose them! Ambiance was LUXURIOUS. Very clean, utensils were very clean as if it the a grand opening. I love the aesthetics and the color coordination and to the plates and silverware. Overall I recommend anyone especially if it's your first time. The people hear are amazing food is even better. 100/10 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Unfortunately, this was not a great experience... However, I'm going to touch base on both the good…read moreand the bad, although at this point I do NOT plan to return here. Pros: seated quickly, ambiance was lovely, appetizers came out quickly, the Lasuni Gobi was delicious. CONS: My husband and I waited 40+ minutes for our main dishes (dal + rice and the Paneer Tikka dish) to arrive....... And we watched the people who were seated AFTER us receive their MEAT dishes before we got our ours and we most definitely ordered first. We asked our server MORE THAN ONCE what was taking so long and we got the same answer each time "I've told the kitchen to hurry, it'll be out soon" To make matters worse, the person who brought us our dishes (maybe the chef? Maybe the manager?) brought them without the naan that we ordered. When I asked, "where's our naan?" He had the audacity to rudely say "it'll be out in a few minutes", as if we hadn't already been waiting 40+ minutes for vegetarian food that I could've whipped up myself in 20 minutes. His attitude towards us was so unacceptable considering the circumstances. We have absolutely no idea what happened or why it took so long for our simple dishes to arrive. It's especially perplexing considering that the people who came in AFTER us got their meat dishes first. The server apologized and decided to bring us some kulfi (ice cream) to try to make up for it, but we try to avoid eating sugar so that was useless. I felt bad for the server because it wasn't his fault that our food took a ridiculous amount of time to make it to our table, and it's not cool that a manager never stepped in to try to reconcile. As someone who waited tables for 8+ years, I was shocked at the lack of support this server received from his management team. The dal and paneer tikka dishes were average tasting at best (and overpriced), making another trip here completely unfathomable, most especially considering how we were treated. Note to management: do better. Support your staff and step in to reconcile with unhappy guests if this happens again.

Today I dropped by and had their lunch special which included a small side and an entree. I chose the vegetable samosa and the Kerala vegetable curry. The samosa had a nice flakey crust with a flavorful and substantial amount of filling. The kerala curry is coconut milk based with really great heat. The vegetables were firm and soft. And it was the great balance. Truly top notch curry for a lunch special. I was absolutely full, happy, and satisfied by the time my lunch break was over. Will certainly come back if im in the area.

We kicked things off with the lamb spring rolls, which aren't something you see on every Indian menu. They came out crisp, well-seasoned, and paired with a cool cucumber raita that balanced the spice nicely. Not life-changing, but definitely a fun and solid opener. For my main, I leaned into a random lamb craving and ordered the lamb vindaloo--and this is where Seva really delivered. Deep, rich flavor with a satisfying level of heat that doesn't hold back but also doesn't overwhelm. The lamb itself was tender and clearly given the time it deserved. This dish alone would bring me back. Service was attentive without hovering, and the pacing of the meal felt just right--no awkward gaps, no rushing.

The place has undergone quite a few changes, as well as physically moving, over the past three decades. It now sits in a more modern, smaller space. We met friends there for dinner. We started with the samosas, which were thick and filled with potatoes and peas and so satisfying, especially with a dabble of tamarind sauce. For our main meal we had the Goad Kadai, which was excellent, along with the Chicken Lajawab, the Chicken Korma, the Chicken Biryani, and the Paneer Kadai, all of which were proclaimed "very good." Service here is always excellent. From the minute you sit down, when we were given Indian crackers and dips, throughout the meal. You don't even have to ask for containers for the leftovers. They are brought to you as soon as the servers notice you are done eating and there is food leftover. Dinner for four with five entrees, a beer, an appetizer, tax, and tip was around $152.

Cocktails of Mai Tai and Margheritas were being drunk with joy. I only liked the mango lassi which was served in a tall fluted glass and was refreshing. All the curries had the same flavor which my friends realized that the cuisine here was pseudo authentic. We skipped dessert as we had brought chocolates to share. Sharon, the lovely server who has been here for ten years was patient and pleasant.

The food types are similar but offer different spice/flavor profiles. They have a large section of noodles, soup, and rice. A veggie section with various combos of cauliflower, potatoes, onion, bamboo, blackened peas, mustard greens, and spices. Some of the Indian dishes: paneer butter masala, palak paneer, chicken tikka masala. Some of the appetizers include crispy tofu, fried soybeans, a Nepali snack platter with marinated meat, goat, beef tripe, sliced beef tongue, fried jerky, duck. They also have a momo section. We had their famous chicken lollipops (essentially fried chicken) and it was crispy and spicy (in a good way). We also had sadeko (marinated or tossed) bacon, which was rich and tender. I had one of their Nepali cocktails, which was pleasantly spicy (the chatpata aam, made with tequila, spicy chatpatey syrup, and mango puree). Service was attentive. Inside is cozy, lots of dark wood and colorful flags. They also often have entertainment in the evening, so I would love to return to hear some live music while trying more Nepali cuisine.

I ordered the Shogo Ngopa and decided to go with tingmo instead of the white rice. Trying something new! Also ordered a mango lassie. Food came out fresh, warm and delicious. The tingmo reminded me to a steamed bun with out the filling but with layers. Everything was good. Everyone was friendly and kept our water glasses filled. At 9pm there was live music which was a nice treat. They even sang happy birthday to our friend. Nice place and will definitely try again!
