Great hole in the wall location. The pork in the pork belly stir-fry is some of the most tender pork I have tried in Madison. The level of spice is reasonable. Do note that the dish does not come with rice, but can be ordered on the side. The chicken momo is juicy and pairs well with the sauce they provide for you. Be sure to give it some time to sit because it's hot and fresh. read more

I tried the pork belly with chili stir fry and a side of rice. It was great! The place was busy and all tables were occupied so I ordered food to go. I was too hungry and didn't get to take pictures. Words do not do justice, so you'll have to come try the food! The place is small, so if you are hungry, plan ahead before peak time. read more

This is one of the most standout places I tried in Madison WI. We ordered their Chowmein, a noodle based soup with meat,cabbage,carrots,shredded potato dish, Momo and garlic Buc Choy. Boy! everything was delicious, gourmet, noodles were hand made with perfect texture and flavor. Became a great fan of their shredded potatoes and garlic Buc Choy. The waitress/owner was incredibly attentive and would take care of you with such warmth and hospitality. We went half an hour before closed and people were still rushing in, and could tell it was a local favorite. This place deserves accolades for nailing Tibetian food and setting up a quite high standards. read more

All the great reviews are spot on. The flavor, portion size and quality is amazing. The service is personal and quick. Really a hidden gem in a strip mall. Worth the trip read more

It took quite a while to get my food but it's a small mom and pop place and they work hard. The food is super affordable and unfortunately I was alone and this limited to tasting more than one dish. I was given a cup of chicken broth for waiting which was sweet. If you are expecting standard Chinese restaurant tasting, it is not. At least with the dish I ordered, Stir Fried Beef (had noodles and veggies) and the rice, though white, tasted like it had been cooked in some kind of broth. Rice is extra. Seemed like there was a lot of paprika? Which is unusual but I've never had Tibetan cuisine. read more

I ordered a couple of vegan entrees. I enjoyed the eggplant stir fry (5 stars), but the Bok Choy stir fry was not even 1 cup of food and contained some type of plastic nail (1 star). Hence, 3 star rating. read more

Was at Vitense and decided to find food in the area. I've never heard of Tibet kitchen before but we decided to go after reading good reviews. Small restaurant with a good amount of seating. We ordered the the chicken momos, Shaptak beef, and the Thenthuk Stir Fry. Very flavorful food! Really enjoyed the beef and stir fry dishes. It was my first time trying these and I was very impressed! The momos were decent as well. Food does take a while to come out with how busy it was but it's definitely worth the wait. read more

Very tasty food, the owner is super nice if you like Tibetan food and want to eat in a diner setting would recommend

Hole in the wall strip mall place. Front is boarded up with plywood. Some booths inside. Saw this place written up and was in the area so I decided to try it for lunch. I got a friendly welcome. I had the Thenthuk stir fry with chicken and the accompanying small bowl of soup as that seems to be the classic order. The soup was nice, light and minty flavored. The stir fry was not my favorite thing, it had wide noodles, not favorite vegetables and some tiny pieces of chicken. I'm sure they do a good job with that dish for what it is, but it isn't something I'd order again. I had a glass of water and it tasted strange and kind of funky. This place is just not my jam. read more

We were in the area and very hungry, and I saw this on the map and was curious since I don't know too much about Tibetan food. We got the salt butter tea because my friend said that's a common thing to drink tea with salt and butter in the mountains and it tastes what it sounds like lol. Personally not for me / I prefer their sweeter tea, but it might depend on your palate. I liked their noodle soup dishes and would probably recommend those - we got a vegetable stir fry because we wanted some vegetables but it was a bit too oily for me / felt like it negated the point of getting vegetables. I would have rather tried their momos lol. Their pork belly stir fry was solid but my friends said it was salty. The menus were gorgeous and the staff were really nice and seemed like an earnest, small business. Overall, worth a try if you're in the area even if it wasn't the best meal of my life. But still a good meal! read more

The thenthuk was excellento! Definitely recommend adding a bit of chili crisp oil to the soup though (it's on all the tables there) - it complements the peppercorn spice (already in the dish) well. read more

We finally made it to Tibet Kitchen. We only sampled a few dishes since we had just finished dinner, but everything was absolutely amazing! Thenthuk - Hand-pulled Tibetan flat noodles stir-fried with beef. Simply outstanding! Chive and Beef Momo - Juicy and bursting with flavor. A must-try! Chicken Momo - So succulent, it felt like a Xiao Long Bao. Wow! Tingmo - A steamed bun with a surprisingly delightful beer-like taste. So good! And let's not forget the staff--they were incredibly friendly and nice, making our experience even better! It's such a cozy little space. read more

This was my last meal before starting a camping trip and being restricted to cans of beans and the like for a couple of days, and it was an excellent decision. Very simple dish, but hearty, full of fresh vegetables, and flavorful in a way no camping food is. I ordered the thenthuk stir fry - wide rice noodles, veggies, and tofu. It was a big portion - enough to take half with me. There is a tingly, almost numbing spice to the dish that grows on you as it creeps up slowly throughout the meal. I added a bit of table chili oil, but didn't really need to. This was a pleasant surprise, as Tibetan food usually runs underspiced for my tastes. read more

This place is AMAZING. Really, really good food. I had the thenthuk stir fry with beef which is served with the side of soup. Quality flavours and tasted very fresh. Next time I need to have the momos! read more

Literally just cleared my table after eating takeout from here and came straight to Yelp to write this review. I got the spicy version of the mokthuk, and it was incredible! Very hearty and flavourful momos, the broth was very rich and savory, and the chili oil/sauce they add to make it spicy was excellent. The people working there were also extremely friendly when I went to pick it up. Will definitely come back here again when I'm coming through Madison next! read more

This place used to be Arod's Tex Mex before. Surprised to see a Tibetan place. I went for a lunch on a week day. I was the only customer. But I liked their food. Thenthuk was my favorite. It was flavorful soup with noodles and chicken/beef. Shaptak was a flavorful beef dish. Shaptak did not come with any sides. I wish it came with rice by default. I did not order any side either. As I was in a hurry, I just ate the beef without any sides. read more

Madison has a great selection of Himalayan food and this restaurant is one of them. Delicious momos and other local favorites. I stopped in here while shopping on that part of town for a snack, and the dumplings did not disappoint. Made fresh and served with a spicy sauce! Service was attentive, and the restaurant (although I did not dine in) was pleasant. read more

Food is excellent. Traveling from San Francisco, the mecca of food choices, this little Madison gem is a treasure. I almost don't want to give it a good review so that it can stay hidden. It's next to Woodman's grocery in a small strip mall off of Gammom. Very unassuming. Did a triple tick before seeing it. The foods is fresh and plenty. Lots of hot spicy chili sauces but you can adjust. I was sniffing and sweating in a good way. Not so overwhelming that I lost tastebuds. The chicken noodle soup I had reminded me a mix of Mexican chicken soup and American chicken dumplings and Chinese flavors all blended in a bowl. The Momo's are shandmade and packed with great flavors. The salt butter tea (my first) was quite an adventure. I liked it. The Tibetan bread?! What can I say, I have breakfast! My eyes were larger than my stomach! It is quite a taste journey. It's family owned. It's bright, clean and comfortable. You know the owners take pride in their place and food! I'm looking forward to returning and trying more dishes. read more

Great hole in the wall place for more "traditional" Chinese food. We all enjoyed our meals.

Wow delicious food here! Had the beef momos, the thenthuk stir fry but the baby bok choy stole the show. Small, family owned. Place was packed! read more

Great food and service. I'm no expert on Tibetan cuisine, but the soups were made with fresh ingredients, they came out hot, and the portions were more than generous. It's family owned and operated. They took time to talk to us about our meal and solicited feedback. Strongly recommend. read more

Our meal was so delicious! Thenthuk Stir Fry and Eggplant Stir Fry -- highly recommend both dishes. The food was freshly prepared so quickly. read more

7 wide booths and a central counter fills this pleasantly colorful spot. Staff was gracious and helpful and food was delicious. I began with the plain lassi and my husband had the sweet milk tea. The lassi was vanilla flavored and sweeter than I expected. Our orders came with a small bowl of soup, which was clear and mild. I could drink that all day long. Baby bok choy stirfry had a garlic sauce on it that was savory and pungent. Husband ordered the Chicken Momo, mild and served with spicy sauce. ThanThuk Noodles were served with crisp vegetables and looked hand cut. Will definitely come back. read more

Got the vegetarian momos which were delicious and came with a very tasty spicy dipping sauce. Also got stir fried eggplant which is hands down some of the best I've ever had. It was garlicky and savory and you could taste some light char on the eggplant. The service was wonderful too. read more

We just finished our delicious meal at Tibet Kitchen! The Chicken Momo was juicy and the beef thenthuk stir fry was flavorful. Served with cups of broth. Very attentive server and clean restaurant. Highly recommend! read more

Hole in the wall with fantastic food! Locally owned. 100% would visit again and recommend.

Amazing food!! We had the vegan momo, thenthuk stir fry, and ngoethuk. We will definitely order again.

Wow, fantastic. Dropped in for a late lunch. Had the spicy dumpling soup, the traditional steamed bun and salt butter tea. Combination of the soup and roll was perfect, wishing I had gotten more rolls. Soup was warming and hearty. Tea was fun, reminiscent of scalded milk and butter for enriched dough. Prices were very reasonable and service was great. read more

What an amazing hidden gem in Madison!! Delicious Tibetan food run by two local Tibetan families. Highly recommend the hand pulled noodles and hand made momo. Food comes out very fast. There are some similarities to northern Chinese cuisine and it made me think of my grandmother's cooking. Will definitely be back!! read more

Ordered tofu veggy dumplings at Taste of Madison. Dumplings weren't done, gooey and soft & tasteless. Inside veggies & tofu was pretty good, but would have been better with a good sauce. When I asked for sauce, all they offered was a super hot sauce, which my palate cannot handle. I ate one and then took the remaining 2 dumplings home and crisped them up in a fry pan and put my own sweet & sour sauce on them and they were better. Wouldn't go here again with so many other Asian dumpling choices in Madison. read more

The food is SO FRESH. They are very kind, respectable, and caring. The interior of the restaurant is very well taken care of and thoughtful. I will be back ‍ read more

We stopped here to check it out after seeing it took the place of Arod's Texmex (which we never cared for). I had the pork belly stir fry and my partner had the veggie Thenthuk soup. Both had EXCELLENT flavor, came in surprisingly generous portions, and were clearly fresh. I also highly recommend getting a tingmo steamed bun for soaking up the yummy sauces and broths. We'll definitely be returning! read more

So fresh and unique! The server was very friendly and excited to see us there. We went for lunch and everything was amazing. We had the Chicken Moma, Chicken Ngoethuk, and Chicken Thenthuk Stir Fry. I like spicy food and asked for medium spice not to overdo it. I'll go for the spicy next time. If you're dining in, the food took a little long, assuming because everything is made to order (you can hear it cooking up in the kitchen), so maybe give yourself a little extra time. It's also a very clean place so good to see that too. We'll be back whether for dining in or take out. Check it out - you won't be disappointed! read more

Excellent food and service. Highly recommended. Clean with friendly service. I had the dumplings with spicy broth. Muckthat. Very tasty and my companions all enjoyed their entree's. read more

My friend and I ordered takeout last night from Tibet Kitchen. We ordered Chive and Beef Mommo, Thenthuk, and Shoko Phingsha. We enjoyed all of it - it all tasted very fresh and flavorful.

Order the chicken dumplings and the Shoko Phingsha. The Shoko Phingsha was amazing. Delectable and fresh.

Loved it. Food is great and service is nice. This is my go to spot now when I'm in town
