I am very sorry but this place is overrated. It's not a 4.5 star place not by any yardstick…read more I came here with so much of hope. But if you claim to be a Nepali restaurant how can you make Thupka so wrong. The broth was pretty dead. The momo were also very average. I am sure a restaurant doesn't have a 4.5+ rating by accident so my best guess is that food quality may have declined in recent years. On the contrary the service is really top notch. Well greeted and well care for. The problem is in the kitchen. Please review the cuisine. If there's a place which upholds high standard of Nepali food in Pacific Northwest - that is Indian-Nepali kitchen in Seattle area.

We ordered the Momo's, Eggplant Curry, and Lamb Curry. The Lamb Curry was the clear winner with…read moredeep, rich flavor. The Eggplant Curry was okay but not as strong. For the Momo's, I did not love the fried version and should have gone with steamed instead. The flavors overall felt very authentic and the place still has that mom and pop feel, which is nice. The space is a bit cramped and the chairs are not the most comfortable, so it is better for a casual meal or takeout rather than a long sit down dinner. Prices lean on the higher side, but that makes sense for a spot on Davie. Still worth a visit for the food and the authenticity.

No frills, but fantastic food…read more Momo are my new favorite kind of dumpling. If you don't have a favorite yet, try the sampler - I liked them all but my dining companions were sold on the sweet chili sauce ones. Honestly, even a tray of plain ones are scrumptious. Nepalese food is a cross between Indian and Chinese with some Eastern European thrown in for good measure. We got a few dishes and some naan, and it was worth every minute of waiting. The service is a little slow, but very friendly. We got Sherpa Chicken and a beef dish whose name fails me, but it's tasty enough that I'd get it again. We also got noodles with paneer and I'm a sucker for noodles, so probably not fair for me to comment, but they were so tasty. It feels a bit cafeteria-like, as it's in a brightly lit place in a strip mall, but don't let that fool you. Is it the MOST authentic, probably not. But it's cheap, the portions are huge and it's an overall pleasant experience. I would go back for momo alone.

The paneer noodles & chicken noodles are the best! Their momo platter is also a must try!read more

READ ITS INTERESTING REVIEW-:…read more I have been a loyal customer of this restaurant for over 4 years, and what happened today was completely unacceptable and extremely disappointing. One of the owners, Mr. Bishnu, knows me very well since I've been coming here regularly for years. A few months ago, when I tried to order a plate of noodles, I was told the wait time would be 40 minutes, so I cancelled the order. After about an hour, I called back thinking the wait might be shorter, but I was told it would now take 50 minutes. I still agreed to wait and picked up the order. At that time, I left a 1-star review because of the excessive wait time, but later I realized it might have been harsh and I deleted the review. However, what happened today completely changed my perception of this place. I went there to refer a friend for a job, because Mr. Bishnu himself had previously asked me to bring her. Instead of a normal conversation, he confronted me about that old review. During the conversation he said that if I "behave like this" I will not be welcomed at the restaurant anymore -- simply because I once left a review about slow service. The attitude was extremely egoistic and disrespectful. Even when I calmly tried to explain that this is not the way you treat a customer who has been supporting your business for years, his response was shocking. His exact words were essentially: "It's fine if you don't come. It won't make any difference to my restaurant. Even Mr Bishnu used a word " I don't care and F*ck about people" Imagine telling that to someone who has been coming here for 4 years, recommending the place to friends, and bringing new customers who also continued coming. This kind of arrogance toward loyal customers is unbelievable. A business should value feedback and long-time customers, not threaten them or dismiss them because of one honest review about service delays. After today's experience, I honestly feel disrespected and unwelcome, and I would strongly suggest other customers think twice before supporting a place where customer loyalty clearly means nothing. Mr Bishnu you lost a loyal customer to SPICE OF NEPAL & KATHMANDU BAR AND GRILLfor sure. If there are lot of other customers for you , there are lot of other restaurants around. YOU KEEP YOUR EGO, I WILL KEEP MY SELF RESPECT

Platter momos: I recommend this if it's your first time here because you get to try a variety of momos. We opted with the meat momo platter and it came with: chicken momos, prawn momos and goat momos. My fave was the chicken momo so next time I'll order a plate of this. Chicken Chokta: the chicken thighs were juicy and so flavourful, I loved the Indian spices. Lemon mojito: such a refreshing drink and paired well with the spicy dishes. When we left the owner thanked us for coming. It's always nice to feel appreciated as a customer, we will definitely be back.

We were able to find parking across from the restaurant on Gore St at the reasonable rate of $2.00 per hour. There was only 1 other table occupied during the duration of our visit. It was a table for 6. The room was nicely decorated and there is very good spacing between tables. We had a table overlooking Gore St. The service is truly exceptional. There was only the waitress and cook working when we were there. Our waitress was very good at explaining all the options to us and making recommendations. There is a very small wine list and they serve cocktails as well. We ordered a bottle of pinot grigio and our waitress poured the first glass of wine and brought an ice bucket out to chill the bottle. We shared an appetizer of yak momo. They were delicious. They are shaped like a large Chinese har gow (shrimp dumpling). They came with a nice sauce for dipping. It was nice and spicy but not too hot. For entrees I had Druk entrée - dried pork belly. It was wonderful. The pork belly was nice and crisp. It came with vegetables and wonderful bread rolls. The rolls were so good. They tasted homemade. My husband had pork tomahawk glazed with a caramel butter and topped with mango compote. It was so tender and good. The food here is really unique and different. We saw the chef come out of the kitchen and we talked to him. He offered us a complimentary glass of rice wine. When we left my husband left before I did because he was concerned that time might run out on our parking meter. When I came out of the washroom I was walking down the stairs very slowly because I had an injury to my foot. The waitress came to the top of the stairs, noticed how slowly I was navigating the stairs and came down and assisted me. This was a wonderful evening. We had a lovely dining venue, exceptional service and food and reasonable prices. I would like to explore more of the menu.

Let me begin by saying the food here is absolutely excellent. We happened to be in town they had a…read moretasting menu of several Nepalese classics, and it was delicious. I would say the flavor profile fell around the spicy, hearty, and rich category. Some of the highlights included the yak momos, a spicy rice roll appetizer with crushed ramen noodles, and toasted sesame brittle. There was also this flaky pastry with powdered sugar that was pretty tasty as well. Service came with hopeful promises of the food taking only 10-15 minutes. Besides our small party, there was also a work party of about 20. Huge group, honestly, and we were pleasantly surprised by the time estimate. However, upon waiting an hour for our food, we decided to take our food to go. The staff were accommodating in that they helped us bag everything in 15 minutes as previously promised, but this was after an hour waiting as people in the work party were served multiple courses. I would definitely recommend coming here when they aren't hosting any functions, so perhaps call ahead to ensure you're not stuck waiting like us.
