Really warm and inviting staff and the food is amazing. Highly recommend the grilled fish. Wonderful seasoning and light and flaky on the inside with a great dipping sauce.

My Nepalese husband and I love this place. Amazing portions and the sukuti is better than what you can get in Thamel in Kathmandu. I will say that their cuisine is more authentic so if you’re looking for thin skinned dumplings instead of thicker plumper momos, you will be confused and disappointed. The veggie dishes (I did the thali which has multiple sides), was just so good. Well flavored and delicious. Can’t wait to come back and bring more friends and family

Chicken was raw from the inside and this happened 2nd time to me.
Even after notifying them, they don’t really seem to care about it too much and completely ignored it.
I like some of their other dishes, thats why I keep going back. But this is one aspect
where they can do better and take the responsibility of their mistake.

This place was one of my fav back in the days. I was out of town for two year and back to Bay now and went in for some Nepali momo… but my recent visit got me thinking what’s has gone wrong with this place…? Could it be new management, new owners, new chef? I dunno ♂️…
I visited this place on 11/16/2024 for lunch and we ordered Jhol momo, Myan! we could not finish our momo because it was so bad. The momo was so bland, felt slightly undercooked. The Jhol itself had so much masala and lots of turmeric flavor… not gonna lie, it was one of the worst Jhol I had in my life. I am sorry to say it but the chef needs to know.
Let’s talk about the service, no offense but the waitress turned her back towards the tables 80 percent of the time we were there… we were never asked how’s everything tasted or anything… do I wanna go back? Probably not.

While the novelty of having Tibetan dishes on menu is a definite plus, the taste unfortunately was very unsatisfying.
Chicken Sha Bhaley had a near-forgettable filling and a pastry dough oddly similar to a store-bought Jamaican beef patty. The Buffalo Thukpa broth was very gamey (almost musky) and underwhelmingly spiced — hard to finish.
Sad to say, but a first-time experience unlikely to lead to a second.

I ordered one veggie Momo and I think I had the worst Momo ever because the momo thickness was too much and inside it was lot of spinach , it seems like i was having spinach only , not so good

Arriving on a rainy weekday just before closing, my family revisited this establishment after many years, formerly a Thai restaurant owned by an elderly couple. We reminisced about our frequent visits until their retirement.
Upon arrival, the restaurant was moderately occupied, with most tables already dining and a few finishing up. It took about five minutes for us to be seated, and a bit longer for menus and water, which arrived for two instead of four, despite our party of two adults and two children.
Opting for Butter Chicken, Chicken Vindaloo, Beef Sha Bhaley, Chicken Jhol Momo, regular Naan, and Garlic Naan, we placed our order after a slight delay. Despite the lack of rush, service seemed preoccupied.
The dishes arrived after a 20-minute wait. The Beef Sha Bhaley stole the show with their juicy, flavorful profile and accompanying sauces. The Butter Chicken impressed with its seasoning and smoky taste, though the chicken was slightly dry and shredded. The Chicken Vindaloo boasted robust flavors and satisfying chunks of meat.
The Chicken Jhol Momo had decent flavor but erred on the salty side, although the accompanying sauce added depth. The Naan and Garlic Naan were passable, lacking in garlic flavor.
The dhal soup, while offering a good curry taste, lacked substance with minimal split peas and an overly watery consistency, deemed unappealing by the rest of the group.
Highlighting the Beef Sha Bhaley and Butter Chicken, I would recommend these dishes. However, the overall service left much to be desired, with lapses in attention evident, such as neglecting to provide plates for all members of our party.

Very nice place to sit and have tasty food. There was definitely wait time. But it was understandable. Looked like the restaurant was understaffed to cater to that many customers. The quality of food was good. Outdoor seating was very comfortable. Staff was very nice too. It would be good if you don’t allow smoking/vaping at the outdoor seating area.

Pretty amazing place with a nice atmosphere inside. The steamed momo with jhol was fantastic and juicy. They serve the jhol chilled with hot momo. The C-momo that I ordered was tasty as well a bit too spicy I should say. I wish they would have asked my preference on the spice level. I like my bell peppers and onion in good amount but there was very less of bell pepper I should say. Tastewise I can’t complain.The only thing I felt was the covering of the chicken momo that we ordered was very thick. If they could just take care of the covering of the momo I wouldn’t mind driving an hour and half to eat them.

Veg Momo : saag (spinach) Alu (potato)
Chicken Momo : uncooked meat
Momo achar : more of a sweet kind of achar which isn’t Nepali Momo achar
This was the worst Momo I have ever had in my whole life. As a Nepali I don’t recommend it in any way,no authenticity nothing!
I am not sure if it’s Tibetan taste however,if they keep Nepali in name, authenticity should be served!
Waste of money,time and taste bud!
Update: As soon as we got home, we end up puking!

It was sunny in the corner table so we moved to the other table. And we asked your server and she happily agreed! Seriously? You’re making this issue and playing this as a victim card? Lol!!!!
For the god sake : I don’t even know and I don’t really care you guys have cctv in which part of your restro cause it was never my intention and I am tourist in Bay Area why would I intent to give you one star?
I appreciate your server served us water it’s part of her job and I ain’t blaming her. That’s why we tip her.
My boyfriend finished his plate cause he always empty his plate. I tasted his veg Momo too, please check your footage again!
If you can’t see the cctv of my side, how can you say that I was enjoying my Momo happily? Seriously? It took me forever to finish my plate and my boyfriend was waiting for me to finish. Like my boyfriend, I always want to finish my plate but that was too much for me, out of control. So I left the 3 pieces of Momo!
We asked your server for the check and later we asked for the Apple Pay. However, she didn’t come back and I went to counter to remind her as it was causing difficulties on my stomach already and I couldn’t wait!
Please work on your service instead of complaining back your customer! I am tourist here and I am around exploring cuisines and I would never drag if anyone is doing something well!
Hahhahahah it so funny that you think it was all my plan? Lol!!!!
Could you give me one reason: why would I plan? Neither I have business here nor I live here
