    Butter Momo (chicken)
    Jane M.

    Fabulous nepalese momo place in Tacoma. I stopped by for a quick evening snack and ordered their butter momos (chicken) - literally chicken momos drenched in butter chicken gravy (10/10 flavors) and the chilli momos (chicken) - fabulous. Both the momos were fresh and steamed to perfection and seasoned very well and the sauces complimented the momos very well. The next time I want to try their chowmein and basic steamed/fried momos. The lady taking the orders was super sweet and order was freshly made and ready in about 10mins. Highly recommend to satisfy your nepalese momo cravings when in the area. See you soon!

    Sweet Lassi

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Front: chili momo, back: sweet lassi, butter momo
    Christina F.

    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.

I definitely shouldn't have thought jajangmyeon as my first option but I was also super hungry and it was the cheapest thing on the menu, while I was also thinking it wouldn't take that long. Plus they were open early which was great as we were in the area around 10am! When we arrived, there was a older gentleman who greeted us then looked like he was prepping for the day. He can speak Korean and English just fine too. Once we were ready, we placed an order of jajangmyeon and egg rolls and he brought us out banchan. I did ask for more daikon but he seemed to have forgotten or maybe left as his daughter was there delivering food, tea and taking orders. She was a lot more attentive, she would check in on customers and was very friendly! Also it turns out that my boyfriend's friend who he has known since high school was that female employee, so for those saying the owners have changed, they have not. There is plenty of seating at this food court as well as other options from sushi, Korean food and and this spot that serves Korean-Chinese food. The lighting here is a bit dark but it is light enough to take different photos. It's not too cold nor hot either. You can also leave your plates, utensils and trash on the table and someone will come get it. The jajangmyeon was really good, I was surprised as I feel like there aren't too many places that have good jajangmyeon in Lakewood but I can say it is way better than the other places that serve in the area. I usually don't scoop up the sauce but it was actually really good. They offer kimchi, onion and daikon for their side dishes which I think is perfectly fine. They do offer refills and when I asked for more daikon, the kind female employee even gave me extra vinegar. My boyfriend said the egg roll was pretty good too. We look forward to coming back!

And don't skip the individually wrapped Peach Mango Pie--it's crispy, sweet, and the perfect way to end the meal. This Jollibee is located inside Tacoma Mall, kitty-corner from Nordstrom Rack, with plenty of convenient parking. It can get very busy, so expect about a 10-15 minute wait to place your order and another 10-15 minutes for your food during peak times. The place was clean and organized. The cashier who took our order was polite, patient, and friendly despite the busy dinner rush, making the ordering experience pleasant. On this visit, we ordered the 10-piece Chickenjoy bucket with two sides, gravy, and three Peach Mango Pies. As always, the chicken was juicy and tender with a lightly seasoned, crispy golden crust. Dip each piece in the savory gravy for the full Jollibee experience. It's truly finger-licking good! Despite the wait, the food is well worth it.

The standout was the adobo rice: flavorful, well-seasoned, and genuinely the star of the meal. The chicken strips were solid--crispy and tasty in the same way good fried chicken is from most places. The special sauce was a real win, too: an almost umami Sriracha mayo that elevated everything. I also received a peach mango pie that looked a lot like those McDonald's handheld pies, though I didn't try it this time. One small off note: while I was there, a child from the group ordering behind me climbed onto the ordering/pickup counter with dirty shoes and all. Neither the parent nor the employee seemed bothered by it, but it's the surface where food is handed over, so it felt a bit off-putting. Overall, though, the food and service made for a positive visit. The adobo rice alone is enough to bring me back.
