I'm shocked how I've never been here before. I believe this place has been around for years, which is even more shocking since I've never been here. The place has plenty of tables to dine in at, and from the looks of it, no reservations need to be made. There's definitely no frills here. However, there's great service. The restaurant serves an array or food here. I, of course, tried something different off the menu that I normally wouldn't order. I got the beef momos, which, with sauces it tasted good. There's a lot of liquid inside, so be careful. I got the chicken Then-Thuk, which is a traditional Tibetan flat hand pulled noodle soup. This was a really inexpensive meal, and for the amount that you got, I was very impressed. I will be back!

Vegetable Momo

We were the only customer in this restaurant on a rainy cold Sunday for lunch. The service was great. I had read through the reviews and knew what I wanted to try before going to the restaurant. For three people, we got the - cheesy chicken soup, a side of ting mo, chili ribs, and an order of beef momos. The Bhutanese chicken cheesy soup $11 was spicy and so so good. The flavor was reminiscent of cheesy broccoli soup with lots of boneless thigh meat and green chili's. The ting mo ($2) were sliced and was very much like Chinese steamed buns. Fluffy and fought and great for dipping into the cheesy soup. The ribs $11 were made to be mild and it was fine for everyone. The ginger, scallion, garlic was great to go with the ting mo. The momos $9 are like soup dumplings but with thicker skin. It was fine but I liked the other two a bit more as they were more unique. Total was $34 and we were stuffed. Oh they also gave us a complimentary order of stirred fried garlicky bokchoy and broccoli! Delicious! I can foresee myself craving some of that cheesy chicken soup in the future.

Tibetan Cabbage Salad
Corinna W.

I've never had HImalayan/Tibetan/Bhutanese food before and Wasabi Point was a great start! Ordered beef momos, Tibetan cabbage salad, house salad, thukpa with veggies, and sha datse, with a mango lassi, of course. The mango lassi and both salads were delicious and made a good starter. I felt like the ratio of dough to beef in the momos were too much so I wasn't a fan of those, but the Thukpa (basically thick noodles and veggies in soup with choice of meat/veggie) was yummy and the sha datse (chicken with peppers in a light cheese broth) blew me away. I want to eat datse every day, soooo good! It wasn't spicy for me at all so I added some hot sauce, but it was great without too. The broth was flavorful and tasted slightly similar to broccoli cheese soup, but for sure less thick and fattening. A few days later I ordered from their lunch menu and got the phing sha (clear noodle with beef and spinach), chicken and veggie, and veggie spring rolls with a choice of ting-mos. The phing sha and chicken/veggie dish were ok, but the spring rolls were good, made up of potatoes, carrot, and beansprouts. The tingmos were light and fluffy, like bread should be. Summary: Order the datse. Best thing ever!

Totally serendipitous moment - walked in here because all the other restaurants were busy on Mother's Day. What a pleasant suprise - I never knew Himalayan/Tibetan cuisine was AWESOME! Everything has a perfect blend of spicy and savory and they offer a Japanese-style menu for those not inclined to try this wonderful taste of Asia. Why not just go to a Japanese restaurant? We ordered beef ribs, mixed veggies, dried chicken (trust me, it's GOOD) and beef datse and they all were great! And they have ICED BARLEY TEA. Oh yeah. A must try if you visit Elmhurst.

Great place to have breakfast. The service is awesome and Mr. Dawa is friendly owner. I am coming back for second time . Thank you !

Mango lassi: love it! Taste like mango yogurt drink. Don't get it if you don't like a little sourness to it

Don't let the name fool you! Although it says "Wasabi point", it does not mean they are a Japanese restaurant. My boyfriend tried to order sushi but they were always out during their first year of business. My boyfriend was not happy, he wanted sushi. When ever we pass by he would say how bad this place and how the name is stupid because it doesn't make sense when there's no sushi. He then took notice that on their menu there was TIBETAN food, fascinated with their "spicy beef", he ordered it. May I say it was the best spicy beef dish we ever had!, the flavor were just dancing in our mouth. thick cuts of beef with peppers. also try the chicken appetizer, it is amazingly good! so perhaps this saying can go for restaurant as well " Never judge a book by its covers". Good food,nice friendly service. So whats the tip? DO NOT order Japanese food and then go on writing stupid reviews... Instead give their traditional Tibetan food a try, ask for whats good, you won't be disappointed. PROS: Good food, good service, nice cozy atmosphere. Price just right CONS: The name pf the restaurant will confuse the crap out of people....

Peaceful 1.

This restaurant is serving worst food ever, the cook is really careless, owner also didn't know what the customers complain about,,busy in counting money, they really doesn't care about the customers, I recommend every body to think before visit this restaurant,, check out pictures of food they served...

The receipt doesn't say Beef Momo. It actually says nothing about food!

I ordered beef momo (to go) via phone call. When I went to pick it up he told me $9.98. So I handed over my card and he charged me $12! When I questioned he says it's ok! I felt scammed. Haven't tasted the food yet but already disappointed.

spare ribs
Katherine C.

Ordered what the other Yelpers recommended and the food did not disappoint! :) Spare ribs (appetizer): I thought they would be American-style (not sure why) but it's more like the spare ribs you get at a Chinese place. Spicy but not too spicy (I almost wish they were more spicy). No matter, they were tasty! Sha datse: You normally don't see cheese in Asian soups so this was interesting and, again, tasty. I liked the little kick the peppers gave the soup. I gave the leftovers to my lil and she liked it as well! Mango lassi: Freaking addictive... I joked with the bf that we should add some soju in it and get him crunk. Ting mo: They reminded me of montaus (Cantonese for this kind of plain steamed bread), which I like. The bf, not so much. I just used it to dip into the sauce that the spare ribs had. Really glad this meal worked out because it was bit of a bolder move for us. The total was about $27 without tip. So, yes, a good bill for a stuffed, happy couple. We took all the leftovers home!

Beef Chilly $11 - 5/5 stars. Sooo delicious. We got tingmo on the side as well
Namdol T.

I came here twice and both times were great experiences. The food is delicious and service is on point as well. I enjoyed the beef chilly the most! Momos were pretty juicy as well but momo skin/dough was a little too thick.

Ema Datsi (cheese broth with beef and peppers)
Sherry B.

My boyfriend and I ordered Ting-mo (steamed bun) that we dipped into the cheese broth because it was a bit dry. These were so-so. I really enjoyed the Ema Datsi (thick cheese broth with beef and peppers) with rice. We also ordered: -- Beef momos (which are similar to beef soup dumplings) -- Chicken with potato (shoe string fries with chicken and pepper) -- Spare ribs (a bit spicy, but still good) This is the first time I've tried Tibetan food. I would definitely come back for the ema datsi! Food was good. Service was excellent.

Ema Datsi! Doesn't look appealing, but trust me, get it!

Came back to this place after almost a year because I was really craving their Chong Ching. The…read morefood quality has really gone downhill, and the place felt almost empty, there were only two tables occupied, including us. We ordered shak trak, gyuma, shogo katsa, and Chong Ching. Honestly, it was pretty disappointing. The potatoes were sour and didn't taste fresh. The shak trak had a weird taste and was partly cold, like it had just been reheated. The gyuma was okay, but nothing special. The Chong Ching was also disappointing, and the portion size seemed smaller than before. The customer service wasn't great either, no one checked on us during the meal, and our water wasn't refilled unless we asked. Overall, the experience just didn't live up to how it used to be.

My friend & I ordered the Dan Dan noodles, Chong Qing chili chicken, spicy fish fillet with tofu, & tingmo. Dan Dan noodles- definitely pass on this, I am not sure why my friend got it to be honest. It lacked flavor. Chong Qing chili chicken- this, however, was absolutely fantastic. Do you know that it is a dry dish so it doesn't need noodles/rice/bread with it. Spicy fish fillet with tofu- this was also really good and they gave a very generous amount, especially for the price. Tingmo- I definitely understand the hype with this item as it is quite unique. Do note that it does need dipping sauce so if you get a curry/soup (like the spicy fish fillet with tofu), dip it in that, and it is quite delectable. However, I feel that the texture of it changes quickly, so eat it while it's fresh and hot. All in all, Nangma is a very spacious restaurant with some solid food & great service. I'd come back!

I ordered the nasi bungkus with fried chicken. This dish comes wrapped in a banana leaf and then wax paper and it's exciting to be able to unwrap it when it arrives at the table. It has a complex heat, tempered with bitterness but is not overly spicy. The fried chicken was incredibly tender- when I attempted to separate the drumstick from the thigh, the bones just pulled right out. The meat is also deeply seasoned throughout. A really fantastic piece of fried chicken. There is ample sauce to season the soft, fluffy rice and the green beans provided a welcome vegetal bite. I loved the hidden hard boiled egg buried in there. I also got a very interesting dessert, Ice doger. It has a base of pink shaved ice and coconut milk and is topped with avocado, black glutenous rice, basil seeds, coconut and cubed white bread. The flavor combination was unique and fascinating. The creamyness of the avocado lends itself perfectly to a dessert, and the grassy vegetal after taste adds complexity. The herbal, sour notes from the basil seeds and the richness of the coconut complement the sweet base, seasoned with condensed milk and the cubes of white bread soak up all the liquid as the ice melts. I loved this dessert. My food took quite a long time to come, but the service was very friendly and helpful and my water was refilled often. The restaurant seemed to be filled with regulars who knew each other and the environment felt warm and homey. Very pleased with my experience and already planning my next trip.

Look out Katz's! I was looking for it up on the menu board, but all I saw was pastrami baos & pastrami rice box. I asked if it was still available and my man hooked me up by popping 2 thick slices of whole grain bread into the toaster and started to hand carve a big hunk of pastrami. I thought I was getting about half of what he pulled out, but he proceeded to pile it all on the bread after squirting on a slew of grainy deli mustard. He apologized for running out of pickles, but all I could think was "Take my money and gimme my sammich!" Even as I cradled the closed plastic container, the smell of hot pastrami permeated my whole bus ride home and I couldn't wait to dig into that salty, peppery crusted, fall apart tender meat sandwich. I'm sure the other people on the bus were jealous. Next time I might even try out some of the other rice & noodle dishes, but that smoky pastrami smell still lingers on in my mind.

I've come here with groups of people with large appetites, and also people with small appetites, so I feel like I have a good comparison of the AYCE and the à la carte value by now. If AYCE deals are lucrative to you, the most important piece of information to know is that they have a strict policy on charging for leftovers. I have seen this firsthand, and it ends up not being worth it when you're charged an extra ~$20 just for nibbling on that last roll because you got too excited and overordered. Sometimes, à la carte is enough since their signature rolls are fairly heavy and their portions are generous. Nothing standoutish about the sushi or the food in general. It's just a nice, trendy spot since it's the only place you can get sushi within about a mile, since its surroundings are mostly noodles and rice. The service can be rushed at times since it's such a popular place, but they do a great job of getting orders right, especially with big groups doing AYCE.
