    Sweet Lassi
    Pearl L.

    We went here a little after they opened and once more recently, but I have to admit that the quality and taste went down since we first tried them. First, it didn't take too long to receive our order when we first ordered compared to when we ordered recently, despite them not being busy or having another other orders ahead of us. The temperature and taste definitely was lacking as if it was just frozen and maybe heated up? It's disappointing to see that they have declined after some time, as some businesses do. I do want to try their chow mein at some point and their prices are pretty decent for mall food. However, there are better options in the mall and Tacoma for just a little bit more for delicious, better portioned food. The menu is interesting and I remember they had a fun ad playing in the background when we first visited but it seems they stopped doing that as well. Overall, I do hope things improve for them if they want to stick around.

    Butter Momo (dumpling) has a mild curry flavor that we dipped our fries in. So good
    Edith S.

    I don't know what Nepalese food is supposed to taste like but this was pretty good. Learned from the sweet server that momo means dumplings. I had to try a bit of everything so I ordered al Sweet Lassi which is a yogurt drink, a Chicken Frankie Roll , side of fries, and butter pork momo. The sweet lassi was recommended by the cashier. I could taste the yogurt but it was pretty good. The Frankie roll was pretty good too. I was able to share the second roll with my sister. It was chicken, carrots and a lightly sweet sauce. We enjoyed really enjoyed this. The butter momo, i was told the pork tastes best and so we ordered the pork. The momo comes with 10 pieces. We started eating the dumplings after we ate our rolls so as not to burn our mouth. Because every dumpling was covered in sauce, I wasn't able to tell if the dumpling by itself was good. However, the sauce is very mild spice and flavored with a little bit of curry. The sauce was so good that we used it to dip the fries in. Momo King is located in the Tacoma mall food court so there really isn't an atmosphere other than food court. We went on a weekday and so it was less crowded it still loud. All-in-all the food was pretty good and I would definitely come back.

    CoCoMomo

    This is one of those places I eat at and forget to check in or update because once the food comes I just eat. The service here is always very good and the food excellent. The menu has expanded and now has some very tasty options but I am currently stuck in the CoCoMo Chicken rut. If you have kids I recommend the Cheese MoMo. You can get your MoMo with or without sauce. Or they have a very tasty soup. All items are made by hand on site. Service: Great Cleanliness: Very Good Beverages: Coke Products

    Chicken and rice noodles
    AP C.

    This is my second experience at Momo King, and I liked it just as much! I came back for the chicken lollipops but they were out, so I tried the chicken and rice noodles. The chicken was so good and the veg was an interesting contrast. It was a bit spicy for me, but the flavor was so good I couldn't stop eating it! Thank goodness I ordered the delicious lassi to counter the spiciness! It will take them a little longer than the other mall places to get your food, but that doesn't mean it takes a long time, and it's worth the wait.

    I was in the area and decided to try the momos since they caught my eye. The sauces had a good flavor, but the momos themselves were quite chewy and only tasted okay. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to leave a lasting impression. I'm not sure I'd return, but perhaps it was just bad timing.

    I've been pretty curious about this place for the past couple of years lol. So I finally gave it a shot. I had ordered the butter chicken dumplings and these were amazing. The price of what you get for the portions on this was pretty worth it. The customer service was great, and I guess overall the vibe I mean it is inside the mall so you can have that option of eating inside the food court or just getting an order to go.

    Mango lassi
    Hart P.

    In the Tacoma Mall food court, Momo King is good for a quick bite. Napalese dumplings, steamed or in a sauce, are tasty. You can add your own amount of hot sauce to make them spicy or mild. As a splurge, I ordered the mango lassi. Thicker than juice but less than a smoothie, lassi is a tasty drink and goes well with the dumplings. The cashier was friendly but a food court will never be a favorite eating location.

    Update: I used to love this place but after reading through all the food inspection reports and violations, I will no longer eat there

    Chicken wrap, Chowmein with chicken and spicy momo
    Wennie H.

    2.5 stars. Ordered the chicken wrap, spicy pork momo and the chowmein. I actually ordered the vegetable chowmein but got rung up for chicken. Unfortunately the chicken in the wrap and noodles was super chewy and tough. The wrap had a sweet taste, like too much personally, felt like a sweet and sour sauce but I liked the egg in it. The noodles had cumin and were pretty good except for the chicken. The dumplings were ok- too saucy and also felt like a sweet and sour sauce.

    If you love butter chicken, the dumplings are a must try for you! It is heavy on the spices, super creamy, abundantly flavorful and absolutely amazing. It is a delicious dish and I highly recommend trying it. This gem is located in the Tacoma Mall and I was quite shocked because I think this place could thrive having their own place. I was eager to try it and enjoyed my plate in the mall food court. Definitely a dish I would recommend splitting with someone or you can expect to take half home. I ate all of it and it was delicious, I have no regrets, but I was definitely full for the rest of the day. They are filled to the max and I probably should have paced myself but again, they're really good! It's creamier than the creamiest pasta you've ever had and a lot more satisfying. A perfect comfort food.

    Delicious, flavourful, and fresh dumplings! Nepali cuisine and momos aren't super common here, so I was super excited to try The Momo King! The food exceeded my expectations! The meat inside was well-seasoned, and the sauces were full of flavour. The lassi was good too, tasted as I expected. We followed the staff's recommendation and got the chili momo and butter momo. If you're good with spice, the chili momo is a good amount of spice (not too hot, but definitely a noticeable kick). The butter momos were my favourite. The butter curry sauce was so flavourful, our party ended up eating all the extra curry sauce too. Overall decent portion size for the price. Would definitely grab momos here again! Hoping to try the plain momo or cheese momo next time.

    A king of a gem in the Tacoma mall. The line was super long, and there were many loyal customers waiting for juicy, meaty, and delicious dumplings. I am impressed with customer service, portions of the dumplings (filled with meat of choice no skimping, and the handmade aesthetics of it. I love that they weren't served in a styrofoam carry out box, and yes it's important that it be noted. We ordered both chicken and pork dumplings. I made sure to dip them in sauce versus doing the pour over sauce. My husband's favorite was their spicy sauce. Definitely will get these more often because my preschooler is such a fan!

    I don't know why Steve and I haven't been to Annapurna Cafe until recently. We have walked by the…read morerestaurant plenty of times when out and about in Capitol Hill and it always smelled great when we strolled by. Well better late than never I guess as we finally made it here and simply loved the food! I got my favorite when it comes to Indian cuisine which was the Chicken Vindaloo. It was wonderful! Steve liked his dish as well (though I can't quite remember what it is)! We got some Garlic Naan to go along with our meal. It was huge! But we chowed it down and loved every moment of it! From the bar which I think is called the Yeti Bar we got some Saffron infused cocktails. The one I picked was the Madras. It wad very good and this type of vodka added a great, unique dimension to the cocktail. We loved it! We to finish off this great meal we got some dessert with some deep fried goodness along with some cream. Yes, we had a fantastic meal here and really went all out by trying everything. Steve and I can't wait to come back and doing it all over again.

    This was a DoorDash order, but wow I've never had Indian food from a restaurant taste so off…read more Chicken tikka masala, no tikka masala flavor and asked for 2* spice out of 3* and it was bland.

Not sure how this place has 4* with over thousand reviews with this quality of food we just received and had to eat.

The owners check on diners and are happy to explain dishes. The walls are adorned with beautiful fabric tapestries and the interior has a cozy feel. Most of the dishes they make are inherently gluten-free and they are thoughtful about labeling.

We ordered hummus, garlic naan, fish masala and special kebabs without lamb which was accommodated per our request. The food even the side veggies were really good, we all liked everything. I like this place for good quality fresh ingredients that I don't feel overstuffed. It's probably because the food is easy to digest? This doesn't happen with other Mediterranean and Indian food. I'd like to come back when they start lunch buffet again.
