    Chicken
    Nikki C.

    My go to momo spot in Jackson's Heights. They are open late so that's dope. They also take venmo if you don't have cash on you!! The dumplings were chunky, filled with chicken (it's halal!), and comes with sauce. The chili sauce is SPICY. But anywho, they have the best momos in Queens!! I want to try other things on the menu like there spring rolls.

    I thoroughly enjoyed Mom's momos, opting for the delicious chicken ones complemented by a flavorful sauce. The hot sauce added a nice kick. While I wished for outdoor seating, being a food truck limits that. Amidst various momo trucks at the intersection in queens, I'm happy I chose Mom's. I sampled the steamed chicken momos, finding them tasty even later in the day when I brought it home. The chicken was filling and hit the spot. If you love spice and flavor, it might lean toward the milder side so you could ask more extra hot sauce. If you don't have cash, no worries since they also take Venmo.

    Good momos but not excellent. When you order, the sweet lady pan fries them to add a tinge of char and to heat them. What I feel they lack is scallions and the flavorful ingredients other competitors retain. Phayul restaurant and amdo truck are better. Just my honest opinion.

    I ordered the steamed chicken momos from this food truck after being recommended by my cousin. Having not tried momos prior, I was excited get my hands on their classic menu item. First of all, the flavor was so different (in a good way!) compared to other dumpling-type foods I've had. Each of the momos were fairly large and overall the price point was affordable. I did question, however, how fresh the food was given its texture and presentation (slightly slimier than steamed dumplings I've had in the past and a couple momos were ripped). That being said, I am glad to have tried them. Flavor: the combination of the creamy white sauce with the spicy red was perfectly balanced and definitely elevated the flavors of the momos. If you can handle spicy foods, I highly recommend just drizzling both sauces over the plate.

    We ordered some momos when we saw their truck during some type of street festival near Central Park. We ordered steamed chicken momos and weren't disappointed. The staff wasn't the friendliest but they were trying to get through the line. I would have liked some explanation on the sauces that were provided. They also told me they don't have Mountain Dew, even though their menu showed a picture of one. Overall, the food doesn't lie and we really enjoyed trying the momos. They weren't steaming hot once we found a spot in the park but thats not their fault since we had to walk a few blocks. I definitely recommended finding this food truck and giving Tibetan momos a shot!

    This was my first time trying momo's, it was late night after 2 am and not many options, we had the beef momo & chicken momo. They just ok, the floor around the truck was dirty with trash thrown on the floor. Don't think I would go back here.

    Combo momos and pork buns

    The food truck was outside the Fifth Hammer Brewery. We ordered the combo option - which is your choice of momos and then a spring roll. The beef momo was nothing to write home about. The pork buns were hoisin sauce forward and not juicy.

    Steamed beef momos $5

    What you need to know: - Found their truck near the 74th Street - Roosevelt subway station in Jackson Heights, where are a handful of momo trucks. - Food was made to order and was fair fast. - Very friendly guy, service with a smile! - Closed on Sundays. - Prices are comparable to the other trucks. What we ordered: - Chicken momos (pan fried), price $6 - This was a clear winner! Pan fried cost $1 extra but is definitely worth the money. Pan fried to perfection and provides a nice contrast of crunch to the momos. The chicken meat was also juicy, but didn't have too much flavor. - Beef momos (steamed) $5 - The momos were juicy, but the meat itself was dry and bland. I also would have enjoyed it a tad more if there were more herbs or something contrasting the meat like onions, it tasted like a ball of meat. The steamed beef was definitely dry compared to the pan fried chicken momos.

    I was very pleased with the selection this food truck offers. I really enjoyed the momos and will definitely go back again!

    Momos!!!

    Another stop on my first Jackson Heights food tour. This Nepalese spot offers Nepali foot,…read moreBhutanese food, Tibetan food, and Indian food. The food types are similar but offer different spice/flavor profiles. They have a large section of noodles, soup, and rice. A veggie section with various combos of cauliflower, potatoes, onion, bamboo, blackened peas, mustard greens, and spices. Some of the Indian dishes: paneer butter masala, palak paneer, chicken tikka masala. Some of the appetizers include crispy tofu, fried soybeans, a Nepali snack platter with marinated meat, goat, beef tripe, sliced beef tongue, fried jerky, duck. They also have a momo section. We had their famous chicken lollipops (essentially fried chicken) and it was crispy and spicy (in a good way). We also had sadeko (marinated or tossed) bacon, which was rich and tender. I had one of their Nepali cocktails, which was pleasantly spicy (the chatpata aam, made with tequila, spicy chatpatey syrup, and mango puree). Service was attentive. Inside is cozy, lots of dark wood and colorful flags. They also often have entertainment in the evening, so I would love to return to hear some live music while trying more Nepali cuisine.

    A bit overrated and overshadowed by the nice ambiance…read more I may be biased since I've been to Nepal twice and my palate consisted of dal bhat every single day I was there (momos were a luxury on the trek)--which in no way makes me an expert, but the taste and portions were pretty consistently similar among most places. The first time that I came here was about 3 years ago with a few friends and we liked the food - the beef tongue was different and super memorable and the jhol momos were just swimming in flavorful curry. Made me want to come back again. Fast-forward three years later, I feel like things have changed significantly. Or maybe I didn't catch them at their best, but I came with another group of friends and I just felt overall disappointed with the food, as did my friends who were excited to try Himalayan food for the first time. I had the goat dhat bhat and the small amount of meat served in aesthetically pleasing bowls to mask the portion was disappointing--and this was not a lunch special or anything. I mainly got a big bone and realistically got about 2-3 small bites of actual meat, while there was an overwhelming amount of rice and veggies. The momos also tasted like they were pre-made and heated or steamed up again because the dough was definitely a little rough. Overall, this experience was a meh for me. I think it is a social staple for many Nepalese and Tibetans in the area, and just for that.

    I've walked past this place a few times and was intrigued so I decided to give it a try…read more It has a beautiful, well decorated interior and was kept warm and cozy on a snowy day. They provide complimentary popcorn, which is well seasoned and rich with ghee. I was seated in a chair that was very low to the ground. While outfitted with comfy cushions, I was not sure what the proper was to sit on this chair was and I was too embarrassed to ask. My best guess is that it's meant to be a criss cross applesauce type situation, but I had on wet snow boots and didn't particularly want to do that. This isn't a complaint, but just something to consider for anyone with mobility concerns who might be considering visiting. There are some normal style chairs in the front of the restaurant that I'm sure I would have been switched to had I requested as such. Anyway, onto the food. I ordered the "Lahana Ko Faarzi Bhoj" which arrived on a large round platter with a variety of different dishes. I am very new to this type of food, and most of it was completely unfamiliar to me, which was very exciting. The grain at the center of this platter is "chiura," a rice product which has been pounded flat and dried. It has a light and crunchy texture, and pairs well with the thinner, wet curries it was served with as it really soaks up the liquid and expands in size. I've never had this before and it was very interesting to try. The platter comes with two bowls of warm curry, one with black eyed peas and maybe some potato and the other was darker with meat which I preferred. Both were rich and deep in flavor, but the darker one (pictured on the right) was so savory and well balanced- definitely my favorite part of the meal. They both have some heat to them, the kind that builds at the back of the palette throughout the meal, but none of this food was excessively spicy. The main plate has a ring of various cold dishes around the edge, all of which were unfamiliar to me so I can't necessarily identify them. My favorites were the pieces of well seasoned dark meat chicken and the deep fried egg in the center, but it also included some pickled elements, some ground meat and a small skewer, which I found to be quite tough. I really enjoyed trying new, interesting food in such a beautiful space. The servers were kind and there are many other items on the menu that I'm interested to try. I feel lucky to have this place nearby.

    Have been wanting to try Faarzi for a while. The location used to be a longstanding Irish pub…read morecalled Grandstand, where a good friend of mine and I used to frequent for the yummiest buffalo wings and shepherd's pie. It was sad to see Grandstand close, but I was elated to see a Nepalese and Himalayan restaurant open in its place since I'm a big fan of the flavors that the cuisine offers. Met up with a friend on a Sunday night. She was already excited by the aesthetics of the exterior of Faarzi and was snapping away. When we opened the door, we were surprised by how pretty the interior was. It was filled with lush, vibrant colors and fun decor that was a tasteful mix of contemporary and rustic, which provided a nice, high-end vibe. It felt authentically Tibetan with a contemporary touch to it. We 'd it! It is the prettiest Nepalese restaurant that I've been to in Queens! Once we sat down, a complimentary basket of popcorn arrived. To my surprise, it was DELICIOUS! It was buttery and just savory enough -- not as crisp as popcorn that's just been popped, but so good that it was addictive! What a nice TREAT!! I couldn't stop reaching for it and according to the sign outdoors, the popcorn has unlimited refills! Now, for the food! We ordered 4 dishes to share: - Bhatti Ko Faarzi Masala Chowmein: Wow, just wow!! The masala spice brought this chow mein to another level! Every mouthful of noodle was al dente and had a balanced bite of a perfect amount of masala spice, ginger, savoriness, and a mild kick of heat. It's on the oilier side, but so flavorful that I kept scooping for more! Can't wait to revisit Faarzi and eat more of this! - Boudhha Ko Faarzi Gheu Momo: We ordered the chicken option. The size of the momos was slightly smaller than the momos I've had before, but they were bursting with flavor! Each bite tasted of cumin, cilantro, garlic, and spices that are very familiar in Nepalese food combined with the fragrant Szechuan peppercorn. The lovely tingling mala flavor from the peppercorns was delicate, but delightful! The momos were delicious, each morsel of meat was wrapped in a thin, chewy skin, which gave it a nice bite even though the chicken filling was on the drier side -- the tomato-based sauce that came with it compensated for it. The sauce was so good, it could literally be eaten with anything. The menu mentioned that 2 sauces would accompany the momos, but only one sauce was paired with them. When we asked, we were informed that the other sauce was the chili crisp hot sauce that I had received earlier when I requested for chili sauce. The momos were definitely a flavor bomb with the tomato-based sauce!. Every bite was heavenly! - Piro Nauni Wings: The wings came, and we couldn't stop ooo'ing about the visual presentation of the dish. There were 2 wings and 2 small drumsticks with a shiny glaze, they were hung on a little contraption that looked similar to how roast meats are hung by the window in Chinese restaurants. It was very cute! The wings were smoky, juicy, slightly sticky and sweet with a good amount of spice that tasted of tandoori. It would be even more fantastic if the skin were crispy. Give the crunchy puffed rice plated on the bottom of the wings a try! It is toasty, crunchy, and delicious and adds a layer of flavor to whatever you decide to add it to. Just delicious! - Jadiyaa Lal Mohan: A juicy, moist, sugary, alcoholic dessert that is not only unique, but fun! There are 4 donut-hole-sized balls of soft, fluffy cake, similar to cake pops, that are soaked in a sugar syrup. Stuck into each cake ball is a shot of whisky in a plastic tube, which you can squeeze to infuse the whisky into the cake however much you like. Since the whisky is quite strong and the shot is generous considering the size of the cake, if you do not like whisky, you may want to try the version without it though it is the whisky that gives the cake flavor. The cake would be much more interesting if it had more of the flavors that Jadiyaa are loved for or maybe if the sugar syrup paired with it was flavored with the spices used to make Jadiyaa. Far a more subdued whisky flavor, give the whisky shot just a pinch and enjoy! We had a great time at Faarzi -- great food, great vibe, good portions, and there was live music towards the end of our meal! Not to mention, we thoroughly enjoyed the Mukhwas style mix of spices and candy bits that were served at the end of the meal! i Can't wait to return to Faarzi to try the Pani Puri, which looked delicious and beautiful!
