One of the only places with reasonable prices amongst the inflated market of San Pedro. This is located in the other segment of San Pedro with all the other asian restaurants. I went on a Saturday around 2PM and the wait time in total was about 10min before I received my food, which is a pretty good time considering the amount of people and wait times for other places. I ordered a Chicken Tikka Masala curry and the portion size was a little small compared to what I was used to, but I guess when dining at SPS everything is inflated due to the walkability and convenience. Although it was a little small, it packed a full dish of flavor and was really well seasoned. My wife and I shared one and it filled 3/10 of our bellies each. Although this is a chain throughout the bay area, it never hurts to try it first time here, simply due to how expensive it can get ordering at other food stalls. Don't forget to utilize ParkSJ for the free parking in the garage next door.
Awesome Nepali/ Indo Chinese food inside San Pedro Market Square. Located in the spacious Market Hall. The staff are friendly. Loved the Chicken Momo Chili and Egg Fried Rice.
My sister-in-law ordered some Chicken Momos - plump, juicy, and flavorful. They are still just as good as I remembered! One of these times, I'll have to try and get some different things to try.
My gooooddd!!!! This is so good!! The sauces were also very tasty, the gentleman helping me was so sweet and gifted me extra sauce and naan bread and boy oh boy was I blown away at how tasty everything was including the samosa! You know when you go home because you're craving moms cooking? This is exactly how warm my meal felt, hit all the spots of my soul! I'll definitely try other dishes when I come back
Urban Momo is in San Pedro square in the food court. There are tables indoors and outdoors but is shared with other businesses. Ordering occurs at the counter. There are menus available so you can order at counter. Service was friendly. They give a number and you'll get buzzed when ready to pick up. We appreciated the to go package of our delicious items. Both had very good spice and flavor. I really liked the noodles of the chow mien. Definitely a delicious option in the food court.
Located in San Pedro Square, this place is so yummy! They have a large variety of options to choose from, varying from noodles to their famous momos. This day we got the chicken steamed momos and the garlic tikka fries. Their steamed momos come in orders of 6 but they are big pieces, so this comfortably fed 2 people. The only thing I wished for was more sauce for the fries. Best chance for parking is the Market and San Pedro garage. Service was so friendly and helpful, and the food was prepared quickly. We came on a Saturday for lunch and were still able to find seating fairly easily. Definitely a top spot in the food hall!
My partner got the chicken momos to share and they are delightfully steamed and delicious to the taste buds!
Their spicy noodles are so delicious here! Located at San Pedro square, parking can be tricky but these noodles are worth it! Service was quick and employee was friendly. Lots of places to sit and eat inside .
This is my boyfriend's favorite place to stop by for food during Fanime. He had it 3 times a row one year because the prices are pretty reasonable. His go-to is the chicken tikka masala because it tastes sooo good especially when you add a naan ($4 each). I jump around in the menu but everything I've had tasted amazing. You order at the counter and they give you a buzzer so that you can have a seat while waiting for the food. The food hall is pretty big so there's always a table available.
I have ordered previously from this restaurant. This time we are at San Pedro Square. The food was excellent. A nice kick of spice as well. I wish the chicken momo had a little less turmeric. Earlier I ordered the gobhi Manchurian for a lunch party and it was very good as well. My favorite go to place for Nepali food in San Jose.
Stopped by here during Fanime! It's located in the San Pedro Square Market. Since it's a food court, it WILL get quite busy during peak hours on the weekends, especially if there's a holiday or an event going on (aka Fanime lol). There's seating inside (limited) and some seating outside too. Just grab a table and send your people out to order food. Most businesses here will either text you or have a buzzer notify you when your food is ready. For our dinner, we got the: 1) Chicken Momos: -These are Nepali dumplings served with their traditional dipping sauce, achaar. This is apparently a South Asian pickle sauce. It does have a slight sourness to it, from the fact that it's pickled and it gives a refreshing flavor to the food. -The dumplings are nice and juicy with moist meat inside. Exterior was not too delicate and not too thick or dry either. Can't go wrong with some solid dumplings. 2) Paneer Tikka Masala: -These are grilled cheese cubes served in their red, creamy sauce. -This has a slight sweetness and spiciness to it. -I feel like you can go wrong with any form of cheese dish. What is this if not another form of mozzarella stick? Though not as gooey, it's still pretty good. -Probably my favorite of the 3 that we ordered. 3) Szechuan Mixed Fried Rice: -This comes with chicken, scrambled eggs, veggies, spicy sichuan peppers, and garlic. -Very flavorful rice that packs a punch and lingering heat. Actually decently spicy. -Good amount of protein mixed into the fried rice. I think my only qualm with it (and I'm not sure if it's supposed to be like this), but the fried rice texture was a bit soggy and gooey. Not bad, but became a bit heavy to eat (probably due to the oiliness). Decently unique and flavorful food in DT SJ within walking distance of the convention center!

Got their chicken chili, which came with rice. It was tasty, fresh, and a reasonable portion for $14. I was hoping to try the biryani, but they only had the bone-in version, so I passed. However, I tried some of my friend's biryani, and it was really tasty! The restaurant is located in a food court, so we sat in the common area to eat. There were quite a few fruit flies around the seating area. It wasn't the restaurant's fault, but I wanted to mention it for anyone planning to sit and eat there. Overall, the food was fresh and flavorful, and I'd definitely come back to try more of their dishes. read more

Tired of ridiculous San Pedro Square prices for pizza, burgers or mexican? Try Himalayan instead. The steamed vegetarian paneer momos (6 per order) are a decent, healthier alternative that won't break the bank. Pro tip: You get two sauces (mild and hot), definitely taste-test the spicy one before pouring it, unless you want your momos swimming in the heat! read more

Nepalese food is always a nice solid option to satisfy the soul. I was about to order some normal momos then I saw that this place had deep fried momos. Never had a deep fried version, so I knew that I needed to try it. So I ordered this and the mango lassi. The mango lassi. Total everything was about 20 dollars, not the cheapest. The mango lassi was nice and tart but it was pretty small size. The momos took a long time to come out, I am going to give the benefit of the doubt because I believe they were making it with the best quality in mind. The momos finally came out with their two sauces. There were six deep fried chicken momos and as I took a bite the juices came out, a good indicator. It was nice hot, crunchy and juicy. Dip it with their sauces for extra spice and flavors. The only thing is the price I believe for 6 momos it is about 14 to 15 bucks pretty steep but always worth a try. read more

SERVICE - located inside San Pedro Square Market - parking garages or street parking nearby - plenty of indoor and outdoor seating - order at counter and then take buzzer if eating in or doing takeout - food takes about 15 minutes to prepare - ambiance good for casual meal - restrooms inside and outside market MENU - wide selection of Nepali momos, noodles, and fried rice - vegan and gluten free options marked - average price ($15 per entree) FOOD - vegan momo chili (8/10): six fried vegetable filled momos coated in sweet and spicy chili sauce with bell peppers and onions. This dish tastes like a cross between Gobi Manchurian and momos. The sauce is sticky and spicy with just the right hint of sweetness. I liked how the momo skins were still crispy and did not get soggy with the sauce. WOULD I GO BACK? Yes! These momos were some of the better ones that I have had read more

Absolutely satisfied with Urban Momo and their offerings. I am also a bit skeptical when it comes to spice levels at any restaurant because they have to appease to the common tolerance but my main take away from Urban Momo is that they use their spices authentically and generously. I love it to pack some heat and my selection definitely did. Plenty of dishes to choose from, with healthy serving portions. I ordered thru a delivery service and the packaging were nicely contained and serve as a serving dish as well (no dishes were washed that night). Can't wait to explore the menu more. read more
Always a good choice when in San Jose. Momos here with the achar are really good. The chicken cowmein ( I order spicy) is super good and nicely made spicy to order with some extra Thai chilies. The ambience at San Pedro Square is always fun especially when they have live music. At time it does take a little longer than most food spots here, but the momo does have to be cooked for the right amount of time so it can be just right. read more
A hidden gem at San Pedro Square! Not sure how I never tried this place before out of all the numerous times I've been here. But finally got down to it, and boy it was worth it! FOOD: ---------- I would describe the food as a combination between Chinese and Indian influences, flavor wise. First of all, had to try the *Chicken Momos* for which they are famous. And rightly so! Deliciously stuffed with a solid ratio of meat to veggie, and filled with delightful herbs and spices. Really supple and tasty. Their *Chicken Chow Mein* reminds me of Singapore style chow mein. Great taste, good meat/veggie to noodle ratio, and super filling, which is great when you have hungry hungry people with you. We were recommended the *Chicken Tikka Masala* which I thought might be a standard version, but this one really punched my mouth with superb flavor. The portion was very generous and I couldn't stop stuffing myself with this dish. SERVICE/AMBIANCE: ----------------------------- Service was great and they gave excellent recommendations. Ambiance is pretty vibrant on the back side of the market without being too rowdy. This is the calmer side of San Pedro Square so you won't be disturbed by (too many) drunken interruptions. TIP: You can always order to go, so that you can pack up the leftovers even after you eat here. DATE TIP: Definitely a great place to order and share lots of tasty morsels. That to-go box will come in handy so you and your date don't overstuff yourself! read more

I had lunch from here delivered to my office twice, and both times it was pretty good. Plenty of well labelled vegan options- I had the fried vegan momos and veggie chowmein (office lunch menu was limited). The momo filling was really good but I think they probably would've been better steamed rather than fried. Wasn't a huge fan of either of the dipping sauces they came with either. Veggie chowmein was tasty as well but could've used more veggies. Would love to come in person and taste the rest of the menu! read more
I ordered spicy chicken wings and crazy spicy fries. My order was ready in 5 minutes. I got my food and gave it to my partner while I went to the restroom. He opened it and it was chicken chow mein and momo. He took pics for me... Good thing he waited for me to come back bc it wasn't my order. I brought it back after closing the momo container but left the chow mein opened. They took the chow mein and left the momo in the bag and they gave the order to the correct people. I thought it was gross. I told them the food was touched when I handed it to them but they were so busy I don't think they heard or cared lol. Anyways.. the employee told me the order will be ready in 10 min. She didn't give me a buzzer so I had to wait there. It took way longer than 10 min lol. Also a lot of people were visibly frustrated as the wait was long. They were really busy. After waiting a while, they called my name and kindly offered a sprite. I was craving for wings and fries and def ordered the wrong things here. I would not get them again. They were both below mid. They were both not spicy either lol, just covered in red and chili which upset my stomach. I wish I kept the chow mein and momo loll I def want to give it a second try and come back for their momo and biryani. They looked rly good. read more

Takeout order: 5/10 Chicken Tikka Masala $13.50 - The sauce is pretty watered down and was lacking seasoning and creaminess. Chicken was ok. Portion is very small. Overall below average dish that a lot of other Indian places can make way better so I would not recommend. read more

Hi, could you kindly list which dishes contain nuts and/or seafood? Thanks
Are these momos gluten free?
The Momos themselves are not listed as Gluten Free, however most of the curries, tandoori meats, and rice dishes are. The menu includes a "GF" symbol to indicate which items are Gluten Free.
Which menu options are gluten free?
The menu includes a green "GF" symbol to indicate which items are Gluten Free. Most of the curries, biryani, and some meat entrees stand out.
Where are you guys located exactly? I entered the public market entrance n saw nearby places like crepes and more but I couldn't find your spot. Looked for it more than half hour. Tried to call but no one picked up.
They are located in the back. Go through the courtyard, all the way to the rear building. They are located next to the pho place and a few stalls from treat bot.
