Came here as I was in a mood for something clean. The location is small and sits next to a Subway. There were four tables that sit two and some counter seating. People waiting for their carryout took up the counter seats. No fret, their orders would be ready before mine. This proved true as a bowl of dumpling soup came my way as I took a seat. Momos are something I thoroughly enjoy and was excited for the raving Yelp reviews. In actuality, it was cooked well but the dough was a bit too thick. I also found the soup a bit oily and missing flavor. The amount of veggies was a good balance to the 8 momos. I'm not sure if I'll be back, but the regular momo sampler sounds intriguing. I also wonder if the momos for soup are made thicker to sustain its construction in hot broth. read more

Tibet Kitchen - Beef momo soup - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

MOMOS !!! The absolute best you can get! Totally authentic magically pockets of deliciousness.. The veggie momos are my favorite, not just typical cabbage filling. My meat eating friends say the beef momos are the way to go if you are wanting a meat option. I like that they are now offering hoisen sauce in addition to the hot sauce. I also think the Dali soup ( lentil) is great. I always add a bit of soy sauce to it to be saltier. The chai is nice and spicy. The employees are sweet. They make a variety of noodle soups that are very good as well. Expect thick, homemade style noodles with a bit of chew in a light broth. The prices are too low for the quality of food in my opinion, they could charge more. I would pay more, but I am very grateful that it is such a good value and we order here all the time and make the hour round trip drive. It takes a solid 15-20 minutes to cook the momo's because they are steamed to order. I would count on 20-30 if they are busy at all. It may not look busy but I think most of their orders are take out because it is a very very small place. In the summer they have a great little outside patio tucked around the building and we eat there. read more

Highlight of the meal - beef momos. Chicken was pretty good too and veggie was a bit boring. The beef dish featured atop the menu was seriously salty, so much so I contemplated sending it back. read more

Had 2 indian dishes and really wasn't impressed. Quality was low IMO compared to other Indian restaurants. Cost is lower than average but portions were also smaller. read more

Food was just ok nothing special I didn't finish my meal and I was hungry when I showed up.

Came here for lunch on a Friday. There is limited parking in front but it was easy to find a spot near by. The tea was wonderful and everything tasted fresh and we took momos home which were always a must try! read more

Tibet Kitchen - 3 Entree Plate Lunch Special - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

This place has the best momos in town and the noodles soups sit right on your stomach on a cold day. Beef chili (shaptak) was so good too. I come for this food often now and it never disappoints. read more

I live in Denver and will drive to Boulder JUST for Tibet Kitchen's momo. The food and people are worth the drive! I think the longer wait times for food to be ready comes from the fact that everything comes fresh. It is a hole in the wall restaurant but should be your TOP choice if you are in the mood for momo. read more

Yummy!!! Love this place! Love the great MoMo's! Always very Courteous, and accommodating. thank you for being clean and ready to adapt during Co Vid. read more

The food wasn't good at all... The chicken chilli was blend.. Not spicy at all and no salt.. The service was not good the host was rude and full of attitude. The place was OK but the outside sitting was by dumpster. The momos weren't good at all. Wouldn't go and recommend. read more

Best food ever! I crave it everyday. Everyone who works there is very friendly, and the food is ready very quickly

Good little restaurant. It has parking for six vehicles. Credit cards are accepted. You order and pay at the cashier and then they bring the food to you when it is ready. When you are finished there is a basin to put your dishes, cups and silverware in. The vegetable Momo (Tibetan dumplings) was good, the chick pea dish better and the mushroom dish (Tsel Shamu) the best (chock full of a variety of vegetables- not just mushrooms and delicious). They have good brown rice and the portion size of it and the entrees is generous. The Dali (lentil soup) was nothing special. The lunch special is a good deal. It's available weekdays 11:00 to 2:30. It comes with rice or noodles and cost $4.95 for 1 entree, $5.95 for 2 entrees or $6.95 for 3 entrees. read more

What are MOMOS!?!? I didn't know either but I gave it a try and let's just say I've been blessed by doing so. It's like the best dumpling you've EVER had. My wife had the veggie and I had the beef. Both were great and complimented well w/ their spicy sauce. We will definitely be back! read more

Tibet Kitchen - Momo w/ spicy sauce - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

WOW great Momo's! We got an order for take-out yesterday and it was delicious! We spent a year living in an area of china which had a lot of Tibetan people and these were exactly like the one's we used to eat there. It was fun to be able to share a taste of a culture we love with our children here in the states, years later. We will definitely be going back to dine-in next time and can't wait to try some of the dishes on their menu. we had the pulled noodle soup as well and it was tasty, a great treat for a beautiful fall day. read more

If I could give this place zero star, I would have done that. We were passing through Boulder and decided to pick up food from this restaurant. We picked up dumplings, noodles and chicken curry. When we got home, the curry looked weird because it had bubbles in it. We thought it might be because the container was closed while it's still hot. We should have known better than to eat it. It tasted funky and sour. We were very very sick the next day. Terribly sick. My husband and I ate the curry and my kids didn't. They were queasy but not as sick as we were. You don't sell old food or food that has gone bad. You just don't. It's irresponsible, greedy and inconsiderate if your food makes others sick. Throw it away or have proper storage to keep food safe. I almost landed in the ER. We are very very sure that it was the curry which made us sick because the leftovers smelled rotten the next day. We will go back to Boulder but never eat here again. read more

Don't miss the killer Momos (Tibetan dumpling) and that gorgeous bright spicy sauce! (Pro tip, beef momos are juicy, so treat it like a soup dumpling or get messy!) This humble and affordable outlet serves a variety delicious Tibetan cuisine and outstanding chai. Parking is tight. Close to downtown and both universities. Sitting on the patio with a nice chai and yummy food is a fave springtime activity. Call to verify hours just because of the times we are living in read more

Love their buffet, and a welcome sight since pandemic and coronaphobia. Each dish better than the previous one. Kheer is possible as an appetizer, which I celebrate ‼‼‼ read more

Stopped in for dinner while visiting CU Boulder and skiing and wanted to try Tibetan food. I had never tried Tibetan food before, so I didn't really know what to expect. The food was good and hit the spot. We ended up getting what seemed like comfort type food, plus some dumplings. The chai tea was excellent and the service was very friendly. It's definitely a hole-in-the-wall type of place, but the food is pretty good. I would like to try more of the menu when I'm back in Boulder to learn more about Tibetan food. read more

The vegan gluten free food is among the best food Ive ever had! It is medicine for the soul. read more

Tibet kitchen is probably my favorite spot in Boulder. I believe the best food in this town is Asian. The food here is kinda in the middle of Indian and Chinese, if I can say so myself, yet sets it's self apart from the two in the most perfect manner. The chicken dinner special is my go-to and comes on a pretty metal platter with a side(chickpeas or potatoes) and delicious thin bread. I have tried other meals and they all are scrumptious, especially dishes with mushrooms! The owner is super friendly and always present. This is where I will take my friends from out of town because it is wayyyyy more affordable than any Indian, Thai or nice Chinese food. Also odds are they never had Himalayan cuisine! read more

I'm always looking for something different and I happened upon this spot. It's really small with only 4 tiny tables in the back but I was there for the food. They are known for their momos, which are dumplings so if a place is known for something then you should probably go with that option. What I didn't expect is what I got. Yes, I got the dumplings but these were on another level. I've been searching for amazing dumplings since I was in China 5 years ago. My conclusion - these are the best I've had in the US. Just absolutely the best from the outside in. I've been to many "authentic" places and I'm not saying they weren't, I'm just saying no one has made them on this level in my experience. Specially, I LOVED the chicken momos. My wife preferred the beef and we were both indifferent to the veggie. So very happy we found this spot! read more

It is pretty good Tibetan restaurant. They also include some Indian cuisines as well and everything is worth it.

My son took .h family to Tibet Kitchen for lunch today. He is vegetarian and we are otherwise a blend. TK had something for everyone. The food was fresh, great ingredients, and the flavors blended nicely. Mostly comprised of slow cooked stews, some reminiscent of Indian cuisine, others more vegitable dishes akin to chinese lighter sauces. I appreciated the addition of cinnamon and other spices to the tomato sauces. It was a healthy comfort food experience. I was pleased with the portions and the value, but was surprised and delighted by the complementary Chai tea offered (or in cluded) with every meal. It was delicious. A special touch and a special place to kick of an afternoon of enjoying the pedestrian sights of Boulder. I will indeed return. read more

An absolute classic, I have tried everything in the menu and it never disappoints. The Shaptak is very spicy so be prepared, but the momos are to die for. The chai is free if you dine in (at least it was when I last went). read more

This is my favorite place for take out in Boulder. Very unassuming small restaurant with a friendly staff. I have tried virtually all of the dishes; everything is delicious with favorites being the Phing Sha with beef (sautéed mushrooms and beef), the Ngo Tsel Tofu (bok choy with tofu), beef momo (dumplings), and fried noodles with chicken. The one slight disappointment is the chicken momo as it is a bit dry. Added bonus, the menu price is very affordable-- targeted for the college student budget. read more

Even better than the first few times we dined here, Tibet Kitchen shines! Today I was planning to go to the big main Boulder Whole Foods on Pearl to shop a bit and get lunch. So I pulled into a space in their new improved parking lot, and got a phone call. While speaking to an old friend on the phone about our past "bad boy" relationships, I watched the people walking in and out of Whole Foods. I'm used to the crowd that frequents Whole Foods...I just realized I wasn't in the right frame of mind to mix and mingle with the facade-oriented high-falutin' Boulder Whole Foods crowd. So, to make a long story short, I finished my call and left the WF parking lot, heading randomly westward. Just thinking I wanted to eat something healthful and nourishing for lunch, then shop later. And then, poof, I remembered Tibet Kitchen. We'd been there a few times, months ago, when this Arapahoe location opened. I haven't been to their restaurant on the Hill ever. Lunch at Tibet Kitchen is exquisite. It's like eating art. Like if you could eat the most beautiful painting you've ever seen, it's what that level of beauty would taste like. Just totally exquisite. At lunch you can choose 2 or 3 entrees plus the noodles or rice, for a ridiculously low price. I ordered a dish that had bok choy and tofu in it, among other ingredients, and a perfect sauce. I also got the chicken curry (amazing) and the noodles, which were laced with lovely little snippets of vegetables. It was a yummy lunch. Chai was excellent as always. And the sweet people who work there, they check to see how you like your food (it's an order-at-the-counter place) and you can tell they really care! So sweet and kind. read more

Thank you, yelp, for helping me discover this place! I had never tried Tibetan food and me being the foodie that I am...decided to try this place based on the great reviews. Thenthuk & Momo's. Even though you probably can't pronounce these correctly on the first time, they are definitely worth trying. The Thenthuk is just "light" enough to eat and has fresh made pasta aka hand made cut up noodles along with a bunch of veggies and some meat. Definitely worth the 9.50 that you pay for these and you don't leave feeling overly full or gross...just wholly satisfied. The Momo's are delicious, and the sampler comes with 3 beef, 2 chicken, and 3 veggies for about 7.99. Worth trying, full of flavor and ingredients...and it has thick skin. If you're a fan of dumplings with thick skin, this is the way to go. Even though I'm only around a few days a week, I'll be sure to add this to my weekly rotation of meals. Friendly waitstaff and great chai tea! read more

The flavor of the food was great. The guy behind the counter was helpful. All in all it was super tasty and had a fair price too. We got the soup with homemade noodles, momo's and a potato dish. I highly recommend! read more

One of my favorite spots for take-out in Boulder. Huge portions are served at Tibet Kitchen. The staff is very friendly & they're open until 10pm. Momos & fried rice are best here, but avoid the chicken curry if you're not into bone-on chicken. The Dahl (lentil soup) here is one of my favorites as well. The sign's not lit at night, but this restaurant is worth finding. Don't come for an elegant sit-down dinner, but an amazing experience regardless. read more

This place is a boulder staple. The food is so comforting and the vibe of the restaurant is welcoming and low-key. All of the employees are so kind. The food is always great, my favorite is the Dali Soup and the lunch and dinner specials are always good. read more

Weird...I could've sworn I've been to this restaurant before...oh that's right, I have! It's called Panda Express. I had the lunch special - two items and a side dish. Everything was super bland and all tasted the same...MSG anyone? I'm giving it 2 stars instead of 1 because they did have some more authentic looking items on the menu, that were probably a better choice than the lunch special. However, I will not be going back to try them. read more

The momos were delicious!!! I ordered the chicken momo. For ~$7 you get 8 huge momos which are just round dumplings and it's so filling. The dough is a bit thick though but the spicy sauce it comes with is on point. If you like spicy food, you will prob die for the sauce. 5 stars for the food itself. The chai is too sweet though but I appreciate that it's free. The reason I am taking off 2 stars is because the restaurant is pretty ghetto. You order in the front and there are some bar seating in the front but most of the tables are in the back. The tables weren't very clean. The bathroom was so weird and I pretty much only washed my hand and left. What was the worst was that there were so many flies zooming around while I was trying to enjoy my meal. The owners are nice though as they came back to check on us and even gave us extra spicy sauce. If the place got renovated, it would well deserve at least 4 stars. Maybe next time I'll just get to go. read more

This is a tiny restaurant. Very tiny. But what it lacks in space, it more than makes up in the authenticity and flavor of the food it serves. The momos were delicious. And when you try any of their entrees, skip the rice and have them with the traditional bread - ting-mo. Loved this place.... will be back for more! read more

If you're looking for exceptional Tibetan food, this is it. We ordered Momos and Shaptak and were not disappointed. Rich, spicy, and flavorful. Come for the food, not the ambiance. It's order at the counter and seat yourself here. Basic, but super friendly. You won't find better cooking at four times the price. read more

Had a great dinner at this cozy place with our friends. Ordered momos which were yummy! Great prices too! We got the chickpeas and spinach and tofu. Our friends ordered couple of non veg curry dishes. Totally recommend this place to anyone. Only thing, there was a single fly that day inside bothering us as we ate - so took a star off :) read more

My husband and I visited Tibet Kitchen on a Sunday afternoon, for a late lunch/early dinner. The restaurant was empty inside but it was hot so we decided to sit outside to get some fresh air. The outside patio was packed, with what seemed like restaurant staff which was strange. We took the only available place to sit and waited for our food. The woman who brought us our food was generous enough to bring out the napkins and extra sauces, which was nice since it's mostly a self-serve type place. The momo sampler was delicious. I would say the beef was the best. We also had the veggie noodles which was solid but needed some siracha. Overall very affordable for the portion size and decent taste but I won't be driving up from Denver just for Tibet Kitchen. read more

Stopped by here on a cross country trip, apparently Boulder has a pretty sizable tibetan population? Ordered some beef momos for dinner, with complementary chai tea that was extremely refreshing! Momos came out about 15 min later, which was noted on the menu and made to order. Extremely plump and juicy, excellent all around! Will stop by again if I ever have the chance read more
