Listen. This place is so delicious that my mouth is watering just writing this. Momo Factory is the kind of place you either want to order ahead or come right before the dinner rush. Come hungry and prepared to eat a lot of food because you'll want to try multiple things in their menu. Their menu is extensive but they have an overview of the sauces up on their wall. We came here for a snack before a comedy show and the teams were full. Granted they only have three tables, but there was a constant stream of folks picking up take out orders as well. We same weren't super hungry so we got one order of the chicken dumplings with the orange sauce. It was soooo good. Like I'm actually mad that I couldn't eat more while here. The flavor was perfection and the added sauce was just enough so that it didn't over power the dumplings. If you're in the area, I highly recommend this spot! read more

Momo Factory - Chicken Jhol Momo - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This place is heaven on earth! Love their chicken tikka masala and their veggie samosas! Ordered delivery, and although it took longer than expected, it still showed up piping hot! Highly recommend checking this place out when you get your next craving for tasty Indian cuisine! read more

This is our second time going there. To be honest I liked it a lot more the first time. This time we took it to go so we can watch the Boys and eat. My boyfriend got the dumplings and said I quote "They are hard to eat, dry and feel unhealthy". I didn't try them because I don't eat meat but he usually likes everything so... I got the veggie samosa and it was good. It tasted like Ghareeb just the price is not as cheap. I also tried the fish curry. Honestly, not my favorite. The flavor was bland, the fish was too fatty. It was just not enjoyable. Overall, we probably won't be going there again. Or if we do we will get other items from the menu. read more

Can't say too much other than we got the butter chicken masala to go and it was delicious! We ordered through the app and I was little confused about spice levels (it said "add hot sauce" and it was a couple dollars extra) so that would be my only complaint. I wanted it a bit spicier and didn't know how to do that on the app! read more

Wow. So much flavor in each bite and budget friendly. It has a local feel to it. I ordered the steamed chicken jhol momo & it came with 8-10 momo's. The sauce put it was in was delicious & unique. The chicken samosa was my favorite in samosa in the city. It has an authentic taste & really enjoyed it. It's rare to find a place that sells chicken samosas so big win here. I would definitely recommend for people to check it out if they're in the area. read more

Momo Factory - Steamed Jhol Momo & Chicken Samosa - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

If I could give a restaurant six stars, this place would be it. I've never had Nepalese food but wow, I am just astounded by how good this place was. I never knew that curry and dumplings went well together but this is what I will be craving from now on. I am also not the biggest fan of chickpea dishes but the one I had just blew my mind away. Everything in the picture is just packed with flavor and I wish we were able to order more. Next time I go to North Chicago, I will definitely be visiting here because this place seriously needs more recognition. A huge thank you to the cooks and servers, I will definitely be spreading the word to my friends and family! read more

Momo Factory - Curry dumplings and chickpea - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Fantastic Momo's!!! All dishes were great, but the dumplings just blew me away. Also enjoyed the fried noodles!

Love this place. Very tasty dumpling aka momos. Server was friendly and helpful. I forget the name of the flavor we got but the server recommended it and said it's their best one. Man was it good! I will keep coming back. read more

Wow wow wow wowww. Dang this place is so good. Every single curry is exceptional, and the samosa chaat is on another planet it's so delicious. Such a gem in the neighborhood. read more

The chicken saag is delicious, medium spicy, creamy with tender chicken (generous with the chicken too). The entrees come with basmati rice but and I'd recommend a bread with the entrees otherwise it's a lot of curry which needs something to go with it Online pick up or delivery through their site, and there's tables for eat in. The staff is friendly in this no frills spot that's conveniently located read more

Amazing food. Highly recommend the lamb Momo, either butter or chili fried style. The fried lentil appetizer is also always solid.

Food was good Service was good Ambiance was good Would come here more often if it was just closer to me. Good portion with good pricing. Got some to go as well! read more

There food is Soooooo good. I crave their chicken tikka momos. My sister lived in Nepal for 3 years and she said their food is outstanding and very authentic . read more

Wow...all I can say is wow! Momo Factory is probably my new neighborhood favorite. Ordered for pickup, and the employees were great! Super accommodating. The crown jewel here though is the food. We ordered the butter chicken masala, aalu gobi, factory pork, vegetable samosa, and mango lassi. All of this food definitely over stuffed the 3 of us! The butter chicken is super creamy and amazing. The pork is very tender and also in a great sauce. The aalu gobi (potatoes and cauliflower) were also super filling and a great balance to the heavier pork and chicken. The restaurant gave us lots of sauces, too. We also ordered garlic naan which was alright. The mango lassi was the perfect drink to keep the meal refreshing. Finally, we also got one samosa which is super super massive but also great. I literally can't say enough good things about my experience here. Can't wait to come back!! I really want to try the momos next time. read more

Get the lo mein! I actually loved it more than the momos- the momos were delicious too. But the lo mein was to die for! Mango lassi is the perfect complement to the momos too read more

Oh my goodness, this place is *so* good! If we lived in Chicago I might want to eat here everyday or at least once a week. So so good! We had the butter chicken momos and the matter paneer. These were so good, it's hard to think of ordering anything else, though I'm betting it's all good. read more

COVID - Open, have indoor seating, although I saw people mainly doing takeouts, staff wears masks. Food- At first glance, menu can be a little intimidating for someone new to Nepalese cuisine. However, once you ask & read up a little.. it's really refreshing to see a restaurant doing more than just adding momo's (dumplings) on the menu and calling it Nepalese. Having said that.. I got the basic momo's.. lol. Anyways, it was delicious.. prolly one of the best momo's I've had outside of Himachal. India. They were bigger than the one's you get at Chiya chai cafe in Logan. 10 pieces come to an average $10 depending on which style you order and that's decent, they're also filling and the chicken stuffing was flavorful. The side dipping sauce was delicious too and not too spicy. I also tried the Jhol momo's.. which was basically the same basic Momo but with a special sauce. Honestly, I liked mine better and the sauce could've had more flavor. It also came with an additional chilli sauce dip which was extremely spicy but then I don't really enjoy spicy food (if you do, then you might have a different opinion). Additionally, you can pick the stuffing of your choice and they do have vegetarian option. - The only downfall for me was that you can't mix if you want half vegetarian and half chicken/pork momo's. It'll be cool if they can allow you to do it custom. However, not the biggest issue. Overall, great momo's, prices are economical, staff was courteous and I'll definitely be back to eat more. read more

Delicious yet different! I took a risk and tried Momo Factory because I had a coupon to use through Door Dash. Delivery was speedy and arrived on time, everything was packaged properly as well. On to the food... The vegetable samosa was superb! Very flavorful filling and the outside 'crust' was perfectly strong yet flaky and fabulous. The samosa was not oily at all - delightful. Highly recommend. I also had the batuk - the flavor was delicious but oooof they were dry as can be! The texture and spice was superb but they were far too dense/dry. I loved them but can't do that again. I did the pork (dojar) bowl - Omg so tasty! The steamed momo - filling was so yummy but the dumpling shell wasn't my fav. The rice was flavored perfectly and delightful, salad was a nice touch, and the stewed meat was divine. Give this place a try! read more

Ordered carry out, liked the options for Indo Chinese food on the menu. Ordered the chicken chilly garlic noodles, egg and chicken chow mein, both had authentic flavor but barely any chicken. The peppery chicken chilly and the chicken 65 were good. Would have liked to have the chilli vinegar on the side but it wasn't included. Overall I think the restaurant is interesting but with a bit of room to improve the dishes for customers read more

Its a tiny hole in the wall kind-a place, but their food packs a flavor punch. Curry momos are fantastic - and they have sometime for all flavor profiles. The wild and spicy curry is a favorite, along with Chicken tikka momos. The chow mein noodles are delicious and hits the right spot. read more

Butter Momo was good, not as flavorful as I hoped but still worth trying. The chicken tikka was great, has more of a sweet flavor than usual tikka, but it compliments the spice wonderfully. Certainly would get the chicken tikka again. read more

Such an interesting mix of food and seasonings!! So many cuisines to pick from! I opted for the Chicken chow mein, delicious. Noodles were a tad bit drier than expected but still good!! read more

Great casual place - not intimate/cozy enough for a date/night out but I would say a fantastic place to get takeout if you want a night in! My friends and I tried the Jhol Chicken Momo, the Veg Biryani, and the Butter Chicken curry. All were good, I would say the standout dish for me was the veg biryani, which came as a surprise because I had read that the Jhol Chicken Momo was the best. The veg dish had so much flavor and the potatoes/cauliflower were soft and full of flavor. I gave it three stars because whilst great food none of it was a complete knock out of the park, but definitely would get this place again - as takeout. read more

The momos here are soft & swimming in some truly delicious sauces. The butter, tikka, and chili are some of my faves. The seating can get sparse at busy times, but I always seem to find a seat. The staff is super helpful and always ready w a recc. read more

This was my first time trying Nepalese food, and it was really good! It felt like a combination of Chinese and Indian food, with the dumplings (had a bit of soup inside) and the curry meat. Was definitely carb-heavy, but the food was not overly salty, and I appreciated the vegetables they gave :P would recommend. read more

Momo Factory - Dojar(Pork) Bowl - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Went twice, and really glad this place opened up! You are greeted with amazing aroma and friendly smiles when you go in. It's small but cosy. Has a nice curry essence flowing through the space. It's has a catering style food line if you order a bowl, where you see and pick your foods. You can also order just momo where they would bring it up to you. This place do accept apple pay, what a bless lol i hate bringing my wallet around. Here is to the food: The pork is amazing, it's cooked with tomatoes and has a slight tomato flavor to it. Not overpowering tho. It's also really tender and juicy. Whether it be in the momo form or as an entree in a bowl, highly recommend. I've tried their chicken and pork momo: Chicken is a little dry but pork remains really juicy Samosa flavor is good, shell is not as buttery and flaky as I thought it would be, it's more of a doughy shell than a layered shell Their choila pork momo tastes great! It comes with the choila(garlic spice sauce) on top and some green onions, onions, cilantro, and spinach on top. While it look like garnish but the herbs really help cut through the flavor and give you a reset of freshness from the rich garlicky flavor. One thing I'm kind of bummed out about is the shape of a momo is kind of a signature, while the new gyoza shape still taste good, it takes away from the experience, especially when the whole place is filled with the bao looking momo photos. I was confused for a second when i got my order lol hope they bring back the original shape. read more

Momo Factory - Bowl with pork, veggies, momo and a samosa - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I was super excited about the opening of this place, ever since I fell in love with the momos at Chiya Chai. I expected melt in your mouth, moist and flavorful momos, but what I got was....fine, albeit pretty inexpensive. I ordered 8 veggie momos, and I just wasn't impressed. It's super close to where I live, so I expected to add 8 momos to my regular take out rotation, but honestly, I just didn't like them - even though I think they were only $6.50 - and almost enough for an entire meal. I don't know if it was the spices they used, that seem to be very different from other Nepalese places I've been, or what, but I think I'd personally ever really go back in a pinch.... read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Chicago! Try the chickpea dishes and the chicken masala.

My partner and I stopped in for dinner last night and were greeted by the employees celebrating Diwali! Everyone was super friendly and they gave us free traditional desserts, which were delicious. For dinner, I had the chicken tikka momo, which is chicken tikka masala in dumpling form served with rice. It was absolutely heavenly and as someone who loves chicken tikka, a totally unique way of eating it! I'll be back here very soon. read more

Momo Factory - Inside - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Lots of delicious options! Everything we had here was very tasty. Definitely would be down to come back and try some more. Every Momo I tried was delicious. My favorite was the lamb one. The biryani was on point as well. Looking to try everything someday! The folks working there were nice as well. There is seating inside, but it's limited. They don't have free water but you can buy bottled water (in addition to an assortment of other drinks). Definitely bring your own water if you are getting some of the spicier options -- the spice sneaks up on you. The food took a while to come out, so keep that in mind, or don't come hungry! read more

Device incredulity slow, first time diners, we were asked if it was our first time. We asked for mild but beware their mild is so spicy, my mouth is still on fire. Couldn't eat my food through the tears and runny nose. This place should come with a warning. read more

I really enjoyed the steamed chicken and butter toasted pork momo. Both dumplings have a really depth of flavor and are perfectly seasoned. They are cooked to order so they come out fresh and piping hot. The portion size was great; they were filling and I was able to save some of my 2 orders for later. The momo come with two sauces, a yellow mild sauce packed with even more flavor and a pretty spicy red sauce. The order also includes a basic salad of lettuce, pickle, and jalapeno. They offer a large variety of beverages to accompany your meal (Jumex, Sanpellegrino, smoothies, water, soda). The con of this experience a was the dinning area needed to be cleaned up. Sitting by the window there was a lot of dead little flying bugs on the window sill. I also had a small live bug run across the table/ledge I was eating at. I would certainly go back, but probably do take out. read more

Probably the best place you never heard. The interior looks like a vape shop and cell phone store hooked up. But the food.... It's beyond good and so different than any Thai or Indian fusion place you've ever tried. I rarely give restaurant reviews or recommendations to friends, but I can't stop talking about Momo Factory. My friends get annoyed at me for talking about it all the time until they try it and start telling their friends too. TRY IT! read more
