Great little restaurant serving momos near Yorkville. The momos were freshly steamed and very reasonably priced (8 momos for around $12-13). I tried the steamed vegetarian momo with butter chicken sauce, which was creamy and not spicy at all, adding a nice richness to the dish. There are different types of sauces available: - Butter Chicken: A creamy, mild sauce with no spice, perfect for those who enjoy a rich flavor without heat. - Jhol: A traditional Nepali sauce with tomatoes, sesame seeds, and spices. It brings a savory depth to the momos. - Chat: A tangy sauce with a touch of sweetness and spice, inspired by Indian street food. It has a zesty flavor with a hint of tamarind. - Chili: A bold, spicy sauce with a slight sweetness, made from fresh chilies, for an extra kick. - Kurkure: A crispy coating option for the momos, giving them a crunchy, savory layer. Not a sauce, but adds a satisfying texture when double-fried or coated in a batter. The restaurant space is small, with seating for around 10 people only.
I wanted to come here for a long time, as I heard about their Parkdale location's good reputation. However, the food was a bit disappointing, unfortunately. We ordered steamed beef momos, but the skin was torn, and the filling was dry. :( The flavor was good though, hitting a nice balance of meaty punch and spiciness! Just wanted them juicier.
I ordered some Chilli Chicken and Butter Chicken Steamed momos to go, which were so flavourful and slathered in delicious sauces. At around $13 for a set of 8 momos, these are definitely worth it. I'm excited to try more flavours and the fried version of the momos!
I tried different flavours but the butter chicken has always been my favourite! Make sure to eat it with the chilli sauce.
The MoMo House did momos right. They have a wide variety of options, with the butter paneer momos being the tastiest (in my opinion). Think masala mixed with dim sum. The steamed veggie dumplings are also great, just a bit more plain. I appreciated the mix to balance out the heavier butter momos. The mango lassi was the perfect way to round out the spiciness and heat of the restaurant. Couldn't give this 5 stars because of the inconvenience of the location. There aren't many tables, it was super hot, and no water unless you buy bottles. This felt more like a takeout spot, but simple changes could have made it a bit more friendly. Still, I would recommend the food to anyone looking for a quick and yummy into to momos!
Butter chicken! Ilove their butterchicken dumplings. It is such a nice comfort food, well seasoned and fresh every time i order. Price is fair for the portions they give you.
Conveniently located right outside of Bay station, this hole in a wall location is great for a quick eat. My partner and I were craving momos randomly and went here. I really like the chili sauce they poured over the momos The fluorescent orange sauce complemented the momos very well and we devoured the dumplings within minutes as soon as it came. It was hot but delicious! You can't really go wrong with momos!
Stopped in for lunch here. You walk down a skinny store to the back counter to order. There are tables along the left side. I liked that it was a small menu as that meant, to me, that they specialize, and I'm a big momo fan. There were a few versions available, the steamed ones are what I ordered; they had fried and you could choose from 4 styles (beef, pork, vegetarian and another I don't remember). I picked the pork steamed momos and picked dine in on the payment screen. They delivered the hot momos in a pretty copper hammered bowl. They were good, but were missing the bit of broth I enjoy inside the dumpling. Not nearly what I'm used to, from the momo shops in little Nepal on the west side of the city. More expensive, but they are downtown. But definitely worth a try and way more convenient for me today. As to atmosphere, it's pretty basic. The tables were clean and had a cute little plant on top. Every few minutes the rumble of the subway could be heard (maybe felt). There's a table at the front window. The window on the right side overlooked an indoor hall and a pharmacy.
I really wanted to like this location. I have met the owner at the Parkdale location and he is so kind. However, the service and the way they structure this location is bad. Firstly, there is no water unless you purchase bottled water. Service is no where to be seen. You order first (and be prepared you will be tipping first). Then you realize the lack of service you'll get. They will give your food and that's it. You even have to put away your dishes. As for the momo's I was hoping I could mix and match. You use to be able to do this in the Parkdale location. However, not here. Therefore, if you are eating alone you'll only be able to try 1 flavour. Prices have gone up since I last visit the Parkdale location during the pandemic. I really hope they change up the way they serve. Provide jug of water for your customers. Provide a smile to them and offer to mix and match so your customers are able to try different kinds of delicious momos.
Good MoMo's in the neighbourhood, service is nice & friendly & the prices are reasonable. The butter chicken flavour is the one I usually get.
***UPDATE!! ORIGINAL REVIEW IS BELOW*** SO THE OWNER OF THE BUSINESS REACHED OUT TO LET ME KNOW THAT THEIR MOMOS ARE HANDMADE AND THE SHELLS ARE THICKER! THIS I DID NOT KNOW! BUT DEFINITELY WOULD POP BY TO TRY THE REST OF THEIR MENU! THANK YOU MOMO HOUSE TEAM! ******************* we were so stoked to check this place out, but left pretty disappointed. dont think we like the actual taste of the asian fusion dumplings. great concept but the taste was off for our pallet. worth the try, but steer away from the beef ones. too dry, gritty and got chewy veins in it. we each tried 1 bite (not dumpling, just a bite) and left the rest untouched. we got the beef jhol, chicken dumplings with butter chicken sauce, and the fried pork dumplings. The wrapper/shells were very thick and chewy. Though its nice that you can pick which type of dumpling you want and they can cook it and dress it up to the sauces you choose! service was great and friendly.
I tried the MoMo House in Parkdale a few years ago, so was happy to discover this location downtown. It's right next to Bay Station and perfect for a quick bite. We went with steamed MoMo - one beef, one pork, one chilli momo and one with butter chicken sauce. The MoMos here came hot and delicious. What really impressed me at this location were the sauces. Momos I've ordered along the Queen West strip are sometimes a little dry, with not much sauce on offer. These, in contrast, were swimming in it and the chilli sauce had a great spicy kick and a decent handful of red and green bell pepper chunks and onions. The interior is simple and comfortable, the service was efficient and friendly, and the price point was perfect for a generous and filling portion!
Partner brought back two orders of momos and they made the perfect quick dinner for two. One was the butter chicken momo and the other was the kurkure momo. The butter chicken momo looks to be pan fried and then doused in a creamy butter chicken sauce. The momos take on a lovely golden color and the skin of the momos are not too thick. Great filling to wrapper ratio. The seasoning of the momo is good but not overly salty. Soft, pillowy, creamy bites of deliciousness. The kurkure momos are deep fried and on the opposite side of the texture spectrum from the butter chicken momos. They are crispy and crunchy on outside, the skin is slightly chewy and the filling is soft and fragrant. My first bite squirted out juices from the momo, so be careful! Both are great momos, just depending on what you are seeking!

Deliciousssssss momo spot. I recommend ordering the butter chicken momos. Fast service, kind of barren but fine atmosphere. read more
A bit of a hole in the wall in Yorkville. The dumplings were flavourful and juicy. You get to choose your choice of protein filling. We went with the pork and beef fillings for steamed regular and steamed chilli sauce. We did not expect the bell peppers and there was definitely a sweetness to the sauce. Having tried other momo spots, this is not the best or the worst. Nice spot for a quick and easy meal. Just be warned, there aren't that many seats! read more

I was in Toronto staying at UoT for a week and this was my go to east takeout spot. Relatively cheap for a very filling meal. One order of momos is definitely enough for one person, only order more if you have multiple people or want lots of leftovers. I tried the butter momo with chicken and with vegetarian. The different fillings dictate different types of dumpling shapes. I thought the vegetarian filling was definitely the best. Full of flavor! The chicken filling had a thicker dumpling dough which was still good but I preferred the thinner dough for the vegetarian. The butter momos come in a nice sauce and aren't spicy (but you can ask for chili sauce on the side to add to your liking). The only thing was that on several different occasions when I ordered the same thing I received varying amounts of sauce, most of the time is was good but twice there was barely any sauce at all which was disappointing. So the consistency was a bit off for me but otherwise good. The interior is very small and really only good for a single or two people max groups. There is no water available besides paid bottled water which was disappointing. But the service was prompt and friendly. If you order online for pickup the dumplings are ready super fast, like consistently 5 minute wait time which was really nice. read more

I randomly went in and it was delicious and now my standards for momos. I really want some right now read more
I walked by this place a couple times and had to try... the logo was so cute! My family wanted to try as we'd never tried Tibetan cuisine before. It is such a cute little restaurant and quite busy with people eating inside and takeout deliverers going in and out. We ordered the chili chicken, butter chicken, and Tsel momos, so 24 in total for 4 of us. We definitely should have ordered another 8 as they were so good! My favourite was the chili chicken but they were all really good! The sauce provided is a flavourful addition. If I'm ever in Yorkville again I'd pick up a pack of 8 to-go! read more
Full disclosure - I rarely meet a dumpling that I don't like. That said - I have added a dumpling place to my regular list. I have dined in (I think just after they opened this locations) and had take out, tried the beef, pork, chicken and spicy momo's. The spice is a little too intense for me - but my partner enjoys it. The menu seems to be expanding so I will defintiely be back to keep sampling the new additions. read more

Yum! I got the chicken jhol momos for the first time and they were banging. They taste similar to dumplings and they also come with chilli oil for those who want a spicier taste. The portions are also big enough for one person. I will definitely be coming back to dine in! I got these though takeout on Ritual and it was an easy pickup near their opening time. read more
This is my first Tibetan restaurant I've been to in Toronto and it was really tasty! You might be asking what a Momo is. A Momo is a type of East and South Asian steamed filled dumpling...my fave! We definitely ate a feast and you've got to make sure you try a few of them on your next visit. Some of the delicious items that I got to try were: Butter Chicken Momo , Chat Momo, Jhol Momo, Chilli Momo, Kurkure Fried Momo, The customer service is amazing - they gave me a free coffee on the house because they're just super nice people! This is one of the best spots in Yorkville...each item is full of rich flavour, the quality of the ingredients used are very high and the value is outstanding for the price! You have to visit The MoMo House ASAP - you won't regret it. read more

Savory and delicious momos! We tried the fried beef chili momo, which was sweet, saucey and flavourful. We also enjoyed the fried butter chicken momo, which you can't go wrong with - light yet satisfying. We went during the mid-afternoon and service was quick and friendly. There were a few tables to dine-in for small groups. And prices are up and that's everywhere, but we can blame inflation. Will come by again for the juicy yummy momos read more

No fomo for momo's for me! So happy that they've opened a new location in Yorkville! I work in Parkdale and always frequent their OG Momo House location and it's amazing to see this fantastic restaurant branching out. I highly recommend pretty much any of their momo's - my favourite has got to be the fried butter chicken momo's with chicken as the protein. But also their chilli momo with beef and the kurkure momo (which is lightly battered and oh so crunchy) is heavenly! I love that you can customize the amount, the filling, as well as whether you want it steamed or fried. The possibilities are truly endless! Don't forget to pick up a refreshing mango lassi and a tingmo (aka the best, softest and largest steamed bun ever) to wipe up all the delicious sauces while you're eating! Thanks to the amazing staff/management for always being so friendly and positive! read more

It was our first experience with the Tibetan food at MoMo House Yorkville location. We ordered Chilli Momo Fried Chicken and Momo steamed beef. The chilli fried chicken came in its own sauce. The sauce was the winner in this dish. It combined the sweet flavor with a hint of spice. The balance between these two was excellent. Both dishes came with small chilli dipping sauce on a side. If you love spicy the dipping sauce is the way to go. read more

Great momo spot in the downtown core. We ordered the chili chicken and Joel momos. The ratio of dumpling to meat/filling was really good in comparison to other momo spots that I've tried. It came with a tangy hot sauce as well. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Not bad momos. Chili sauce was a little too sweet, almost like sriracha in a way. Cute patio though with three tables. read more
