What an amazing experience! The restaurant has a warm and relaxing ambience, with slow, mellow native-inspired music that creates the perfect atmosphere to enjoy a meal. I paired my meal with a Nepal Ice Beer, which was refreshing and complemented the food perfectly. The highlight, without a doubt, was the Chicken Chilli. The balance of spice, salt, sweetness, and Chilli sauce was exceptional--every bite was perfectly seasoned. I've traveled across four continents--Asia, Europe, North America, and Australia--and I can honestly say this is one of the best Chicken Chilli dishes I've ever had. The flavor balance and execution were simply outstanding. Unfortunately, I had to rush to catch my flight, so I couldn't stay as long as I wanted. Even so, the meal left a lasting impression, and I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town. Highly recommended for anyone looking for incredible food, a relaxing atmosphere, and an unforgettable dining experience. read more

Came with a party of 6 on a Sunday night. It was some of us's first time trying Nepalese and Himalayan food so we didn't know what to expect. The staff were all very friendly, especially the person who took care of us. The chicken lollipop that she recommended were absolutely delicious - hot, juicy and perfectly seasoned. The other item that surprised us was the Prawn Helambu Aloo - it's not heavy at all, and if you like cilantro, you'll probably love it like I did! All the momos were delicious as well, I especially liked the ones that were deep fried. It was a great experience and I will for sure come back! 10/10 recommend! read more

Located by Lawrence and 101, parking js plentiful and easy to find. Ambiance is nice. Interior seating is abundant and good for parties of all sizes. I ordered the sampler momo and chicken curry to share between 2 people. Just enough food I might recommend getting an extra small portion of momos. Food was delicious. Flavor was awesome. Not overwhelming yet still packed with flavor. The filling was good and some quite juicy too. Tap to pay is accepted. Overall, California MoMo Kitchen has some delicious food. Service is ok too. Food did take a while but the ambiance was nice and peaceful while waiting. read more

Really liked: Jhol momos Liked: Noodles, fried rice, regular momos and chili momos Service was quick, waitress was helpful and patient. She recommended good options. Next time we will try the curry as well. Ambiance was pleasant. I liked the Himalayan paintings, washroom was clean. Overall I'd definitely go back for the jhol momos. read more

This place was ok. The tiki masala had very little meat which was a bummer. We also asked for extra spicy and there was no spice at all. The momo were ok but the spicy shrimp chowmein dish was really good and spicy in a good way. read more

We ordered a variety of dishes since it was our first time here, from their dumplings to Himalayan curry, tikka masala, veggie thali, soya chaad skewers and garlic naan. Have to say the highlights for me was their tikka masala (flavorful with nice creamy texture) as well as their garlic naan which is soft and fresh with burnt edges that gives off touch of smokiness to the taste. Love the soya chaad (vegetarian soy protein meat) skewers that comes with salad or the fragrant rice option. I chose the latter and the dipping sauce was the highlight. It's so refreshing, and zesty. Great ambiance with plenty parking spots. read more

Best flavors in town. I've always been so happy with the food and the service at this restaurant. The owner is so kind and friendly and the food is absolutely delicious. I cannot say enough great things about this place. Go try it for yourself. 6 stars if I could. read more

As a Nepalese, my favorite food from this restaurant is their chatpate & jhol momo (must try!). Normally, I order veg jhol momo & it's always yum. Jhol taste is similar to that of Nepal. Their chowmein is good too. Chai is how you'd normally expect. I also ordered Prawn Thukpa and it was 6/10. They have plenty of outdoor seating and you can take your dog (but not allowed inside)! The owners are easygoing, polite & friendly. You can always strike a good conversation. I take my dog often. We had a conversation once; they asked me about my dog & told me about theirs. They gave her water too. The servers are great and check on you often. Dining there is a good experience - both inside & outside. It's cozy. They turn on the heaters if you need it (when you sit outside). read more

It was my first time trying Nepal cuisine and I'm absolutely obsessed! We ordered the crispy paneer momos, veggie momos, buffalo momos, garlic naan, lamb skewers, and goat curry. The momos here are fantastic, the filling is so flavorful and the dough is the perfect consistency! I also loved the jhol sauce that you can order on the side. It's creamy and was the perfect sauce to dip the momos in. The garlic naan was buttery and the perfect side to the meal. The goat curry had so much flavor and the actual goat was so tender and cooked perfectly. The lamb skewers were also extremely tender and served with a nice refreshing salad! The service was kind and extremely friendly. She was patient and did a really great job explaining the menu. The inside of the restaurant is large and clean and they also have ample outdoor seating. I'll definitely be back! read more

We hit CA Momo's for lunch on a Wednesday afternoon and it wasnt too busy. We sat outdoor where its spacious and comfortable. The plaza there isnt too busy to there was plenty of parking. We had 3 of their Momo's, Chicken, vegi and paneer. We also had their Chatpate and chicken skewer plate. Overall everything was fresh and tasty but not overwhelming. read more

This was my first time at California Momo Kitchen and it was a great time. The waitress and the lady who brought out our food were so friendly! The restaurant is large with lots of indoor seating as well as outdoor seating and they're in a shopping center with lots of parking. The food overall is very good. I had the chicken kothey Momo, paneer kothey Momo and johl Momo, johl is usually my favorite type but at California Momo Kitchen I really enjoyed the paneer one, you could taste the veggies in it which added extra flavor. It was my first time trying chicken chilli and the mustang aloo, I enjoyed both but was really wowed with the aloo. The aloo was cooked perfectly, it was warm and crispy and the added seasoning on top were phenomenal. I expected the chicken chilli to be spicier but it wasn't, it was good but I think it fell short on overall flavor. read more

Located in a plaza with plenty of parking. Cozy interior with ample seating. We were a large group of 15+ and they were happy to accommodate with a reservation. Our table ordered a variety of menu items, and everyone seemed to enjoy their food. I tried the lamb momo kothey (pan seared) and chicken curry. The lamb momo was very flavorful and came with a portion of curry which added even more flavor. The pan seared part was good but it wasn't very crispy; I'd be curious to try their original form. The chicken curry was also very good and flavorful - would highly recommend. Unfortunately since everything is made fresh to order, this made it difficult with larger parties like ours to get food at similar times. Food was a bit slow to come out (took at least 30 mins) and the first person to get their food waited until their food got entirely cold before the last person got theirs. Perhaps it's not the best option for a large group dining in. read more

4.0: Chicken momos, kothey style. filling is very flavorful without being too salty. The wrapper is ok; a little too thin and soft. I prefer something thicker and stiffer, with more QQ. The Kothey pan frying improves it. 4.0: Garlic Naan bread; Great flavor. But a little too thin / soft. There is a 12.5% service charge, which the menu states replaces the tip. However, when you pay on the handheld POS, they don't remind you that the tip is already included; you need to remember to skip the tip. read more

Momo city This place is pretty close to where I live so figured I should give it a shot. Tucked away in the back of an unassuming plaza, this place actually has fantastic food. *Sampler Momo - My order of preference: Lamb, Chicken, Paneer, Veggie. All came out hot with plenty of juice. The skin is the perfect thickness and filling was tender. Loved the basil tomato sauce on the side. *Chicken Thali - Loved the variety and an incredible value. The chicken curry was tender and very heavily spiced. It came with a bean soup, assorted roasted veggies, fresh xuecai (loved this addition!), pickled veggies, and basmati rice *Garlic Naan - Always a hit for me. They do it right *Roti - Healthy option to soak up the meal. Nothing crazy, but I asked for some ghee on the side to dip in haha Service here is excellent. Prices super reasonable. Will be coming back read more

I was starving after work and craving Indian food--with a twist. I found this spot near my job in Sunnyvale and decided to give it a try. The menu features a mix of Indian and Nepali cuisine, with plenty of vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. The paneer momos were delicious! I also tried their samosas, veggie chow mein, and lacha paratha with tikka masala sauce. Everything was flavorful and well-prepared. The food was great, the customer service was excellent, and the place has a warm, family-friendly vibe. I'll definitely be back! read more

I had the vegetable chow mein delivered for a work lunch, it was really good. Very hefty portion, and pretty good ratio of noodles to vegetables, unlike some places that barely give any veggies. The menu has lots of vegetarian options but it's not very clear what items are vegan. I did find an allergen chart someone posted as a photo on Yelp and so I went off of that, although I couldn't find this chart anywhere on their website. read more

I love Nepali food so much, and California MoMo Kitchen always cures my cravings. I can never resist a good momo, and their steamed chicken momos are so juicy. We also got a veggie Nepali thali, the perfect sharing size for two people. The aloo gobi and daal were definitely the highlights of the thali, and the mustard green salad and carrot + daikon pickles were refreshing elements. The interior is quite big, and adorned with traditional masks. Definitely will be back to try their chicken or lamb thali. read more

Went here for lunch. The friendly host helped us find a table. The restaurant has a nice ambiance and is spacious. We ordered the veg and chicken (kothey) momos along with the mustang aloo. Everything was very flavorful. The momos frankly didnt need any sauce with it. Also the green covering of the veg momo actually had spinach instead of green food color that some of the other places use. Mustang aloo was also tasty. Spicy, kinda crunchy on the outside and soft inside. Will be back here for more. read more

We were very excited to have Nepali momos and this met and exceeded our expectations. We tried three styles of momos: Paneer jhol style (ie in a curry) Veggie kothey style (ie stemmed followed by pan fried) Chicken chili style (sauteed in a red chili sauce with bell peppers and onions) Apart from that, we also ordered the chicken kebab with a salad, chow mein, and samosa. Each dish was delicious. There wasn't a single thing that we didn't enjoy. Five stars for flavor and taste but also for the service. We reached almost at closing time but they served us with a smile and didn't rush us at all. It also matched their decor which is warm and inviting. Would hands down recommend this restaurant for food, service, and ambiance. read more

A little spicy and heavy to my taste. We got the potato fries, which had a lot of gravy. I expected it to be on the drier side. The momos, especially the jhol momos are amazing. They have a really good jhol gravy. The fried was also very good, but nothing stood out. The staff were very friendly and also helped us in ordering when we told our preferences. Overall, a nice place for a not so fancy meal. read more

Not too busy on a Sunday dinner. Service was fantastic - waitress was very kind and friendly. Food came quickly. We got the Himalayan chicken curry and the sampler momo. The chicken in the Himalayan chicken curry was cooked well, very tender and juicy. The curry itself was a bit too salty for my liking though. The sampler momo was alright. Our favorites were the lamb and chicken momos, but the paneer and veggie momos missed the mark for us. The momos leaned towards the dry and bland side. Overall had higher expectations for the food so not sure I'd return, but appreciate the great service here! read more

Service here is really friendly and fast. We got a bunch of things to try- the portions are generous and prices are good too. Veggie Pakora - came out fast and hot. Really good and flavorful. I want to try the eggplant pakora next! Garlic Naan- sooooo good. I could eat the whole order myself, super fresh, hot and lots of garlic. Chicken Momo- delicious bite, the sauces were mild in flavor so I recommend a drop of soy sauce and spicy sauce. I really liked the slightly thicker momo dough. Chicken Tikka Masala- the portion is huge! Super basic but delicious and they got it right- really creamy and flavorful. I would definitely get this order again. Parking is easy with a huge lot. Service is quick and friendly, and the restaurant has a ton of seating! read more

Former colleagues and I meet once a month to try different restaurants. We came to CMK, located in Fair Oaks Plaza, for the first time and we were very impressed. The food was excellent! We each ordered an item and shared family style: - Sampler Momo - 10 pieces with a mix of 2 Veggie, 2 Paneer, 3 Chicken, and 3 Lamb. - Combo Skewer - Chicken and Lamb served with basmati rice (or you can get salad) - Lamb Tika Masala with basmati rice - Chicken Tika Masala with basmati rice Service was excellent! The gentleman who took our order was very friendly and personable. He provided helpful suggestions since we were going to share the food. Erica, our server, was very attentive, checking on us often. She was gracious to share some Nepalese history. Thank you, Erica! I highly recommend California MoMo Kitchen! Support this family business. I will definitely be back again. read more

First time visiting, and everything was outstanding! Came slightly after lunchtime, and the restaurant was fairly empty. Music was pleasant and soft, so it did not take away from being able to have a conversation! Service was outstanding, and the woman who took care of us made sure we did not order way more food than needed for the table! Ordered jhol style vegetable momos, vegetable chow mein, and the paneer kebabs! Each dish came out one at a time, and the food took some time to come out, but it was all worth the wait! Everything was delicious and had the perfect amount of flavor and heat! Absolutely will be back again! read more

Is it a hidden spot?? Amazing vegetable chowmein - probably the best I've had in the Bay Area and surprisingly it didn't feel very oily and tasted much like Indian chowmein. Their paneer momo was also delicious, something to try. I think what stood out for me was their chowmein and gulab jamun, we ended up ordering 3 plates. This is a must try restaurant in South Bay especially for indo-chinese. read more

This place is a hidden gem. The staff are incredibly nice and the owner always comes out to ask how we enjoyed our meal. The place is family friendly, and lots of families eat here, so if you don't want to eat near children, this is not the right restaurant. We always order their vegetarian Momo's, chow mein, chicken tikka masala with rice, and lamb skewers with salad. Recently we've had to start ordering two plates of chicken tikka masala, because our four-year-old has been devouring an adult size portion all to himself. Be sure to order the lamb, medium-rare, so it is not overcooked. I am worried that this shopping center will close and that we will lose this amazing restaurant. Please patronize California Momo Kitchen before you miss the chance forever. read more

The food here is delicious and filled up my flavor palette really well that I wanted to eat more! At the time I went it was really mellow so we were met with quick service and a really good music playlist.

Delicious Food and Fantastic Service! Highly Recommended! California Momo Kitchen is a gem! I placed a delivery order for Veg Thukpa, 10 Veg Momos, and Veg Fried Rice. I called the restaurant to request a specific split--5 Veg Momos and 5 Paneer Momos--as I couldn't specify this on DoorDash. Even though my order was already in progress, the owner (I presume) was incredibly gracious and flexible. They handled my special request beautifully and ensured I was fully satisfied, demonstrating truly exceptional customer service. The food itself was just as wonderful. The momos were fresh and delicious, the Thukpa was perfectly soothing, and the Veg Fried Rice was great too. This warm meal hit the spot perfectly in the cold weather. Highly recommend this place for their amazing food and their willingness to take care of their customers! read more

We ordered take out as it was pretty busy when we came for lunch. We ordered the chicken tika masala, prawn chow mein and added paneer, and chicken momo. I like that you can choose the spice level on the chicken masala. For the chow mein the lowest level of spice was mild which was a little strange, but luckily the mild was not mild anyways. The chow mein was super flavorful. The chicken momo was not as flavorful, but the sauce it came with made up for the lack of flavor. The tika masala was my favorite as it was smooth and perfectly spiced. Would definitely come back to try more dishes and dine in store. read more

My friend and I dropped by this restaurant around 5pm on a Monday. We ordered the johl veggie momos and pan seared panner momos. The wateriness did say the veggie momos are better pan seared than with the johl but we were very curious to try it. She was right -- the veggie momos and johl combination was mediocre but separately they tasted great. The panner momos though were fantastic! My only negative comment would be more spice haha. Compared to the food trucks, the spice level here is very minimal. There was chili oil so it helped but I wish the momo itself had more spice. We also ordered the chapate wei wei which was so so good and just spicy enough :) I would highly recommend trying that! Price-wise, it was very reasonable; the overall bill was $36. I would definitely recommend California MoMo Kitchen! Its worth a visit. read more

Stopped by during late afternoon and we were seated immediately. The waitress was super nice and laidback. What we got: chicken Himalayan curry (5/5) -- we got this in mild because I am a spice wimp and it was not spicy at all (thank you)..the sauce was bursting with flavor and I love the chunkiness which added robustness. The chicken was succulent but they didn't give nearly enough meat for what was being charged prawn tikka masala (5/5) -- again, ordered in mild for my sake and this sauce was tomatoey and creamy. The shrimp were a little overcooked and I thought there needed to be more for what we were paying naan (4/5) -- my boyfriend said it is usually fluffier than this, but it was my first time having naan and I thought it was delicious dipping in the curries Although the meat was a bit skimpy for the dishes we ordered, flavors were perfect and I enjoyed the meal a lot. I would return to try their momo and other items! read more

I was craving momos and found this little hidden gem in the Sunnyvale area. They offer momos with different fillings (chicken, lamb, paneer, veggie). You can also get a sampler if you want to try them all. This time, I opted for lamb, and the filling was juicy. The sauce complemented the momos well. I also tried their chow mein and the chef's special Himalayan curry. Both portions were generous and very flavorful. I can't wait to return and try other dishes, especially their signature Tikka Masala. read more

I came here with a friend on a Monday evening and was really impressed by everything we had! There was no wait and there is plenty of parking in the plaza. We shared the sampler momos to start which was absolutely delicious. It came with 4 types of momos including chicken, lamb, veggie, and paneer, and the dipping sauce on the side added so much depth and flavor! My favorites were definitely the lamb and paneer ones :) Then, I got the Himalayan curry with chicken (boneless) which was also fantastic and came with quite a lot of food, enough for me to have for some leftovers the next day. Overall a great experience! read more
