    I have only eaten sushi and momos here so that's what I'm reviewing. Sushi is OKAY. Put together kind of sloppy, shows that the chef isn't very experienced. It's also very overpriced for the quality that you get. Chicken momo was delicious! The hot sauce doesn't have much flavor but the inside was juicy, flavorful and packed with Tibetan spices.

    Service is friendly although there is a language barrier the lady is very nice and tries to answer all questions. It's a laid-back casual atmosphere. It's dimly lit but you dint feel blind. The food is clean, simple and tasty. The momos take a long time to come out but it's worth the wait. The beef momos were juicy and the meat was nice. The momo itself was a good consistency not being too thick or chewy. The Szechuan noodles were spicy even ordered mild but it was a spice that tingles your tongue. I really enjoyed them. The chicken in the noodles could be better. It was crispy and didn't feel meaty more like a chewy shell. The soup was soothing. I like that it wasn't salty and it was comforting. The meat in it could have been more tender. I wish they added more vegetables to it like carrots. It only came with bok choy. The steamed broccoli is nice. It is pricey but steamed well abd they give a lot. The food is filling and tasty. I like mixing the soy sauce and the hot sauce in the squirt bottle together. Mera's Tip: more momos

    Tuna avocado salad - the winner!

    Dropped into Tibetan Japanese after my usual sushi spot was closed for renovations -- and honestly, I might have just found another new favorite spot. Jackson Heights NEVER disappoints, and this place fits right into the vibe: cozy, unpretentious, no fuss, warm, and quietly confident in what it does. The name alone piqued my curiosity, and the menu backs it up. I was looking for sushi and they have a healthy list of solid Japanese options, along with Tibetan dishes that I am unfamiliar with besides momos but now definitely interested in trying more of. Enjoyed: * Sushi pizza --a tuna and avocado seared sashimi, with a spring mix & mango salad. * Spicy tuna and salmon avocado rolls * Tonkatsu platter -- what looked like 3 & a half crispy, & flavorful cutlets, with a side cup of steamed white rice. * Sha Bhakleb --Tibetan deep-fried beef/chicken patties-- think empanadas, and yeah, I'd come back just for these. * Tonkatsu bento box -- typical bento: tonkatsu serving, steamed white rice, 4-piece California roll, deep fried Tibetan spring roll & deep fried veggie dumplings. Service was spot-on. Staff was warm, attentive, and made a point to double-check dietary restrictions, which I really appreciated. A full glass liter bottle of chilled water --loved it. The food hit the table inside of 15 minutes, and every dish was perfect. Fresh, flavorful, and clearly made well, with care. No gimmicks, solid food with great energy. Whoever is doing the deep fry is a master at it. Master. This is a laid-back spot full heart with no-nonsense, no-disappointment on delivery. Worth being on anyone's list of haunts in Jackson Heights.

    We visited here during the 12th annual momo crawl to try their mom's of course. Stations were set up outside so we did not go into the establishment nor look at a menu. We tried a beef and a veggie Momo.both were very good and served with a slaw which was light, refreshing, and palette cleansing. I would come back again.

    Pork chilly

    3.5 stars Wanted to try Tibetan food and the Japanese menu was good for the others in the group. Would be helpful if there were descriptions for all the menu items bec I had to google some of them. Seems like most dishes I wanted to try were spicy but we asked to be made mild or no spice. Anyway, chili on the table. Cheley khatsa - tender tongue slices, sauteed with bell peppers and onions. Pork chilly - sauteed sliced pork pieces with similar veggies as tongue dish. Opted for dry as recommended which was good, instead of with sauce. Tasty with mild spice. Mango lasse at $3.50 is good esp when eating spicy food. Dinner bento box and tonkatsu entree are big servings and are worth the price. White laphing is rice jelly-like with chickpeas and chili toppings, in a watery liquid. Waitstaff said it was a soup but a bit spicy for me so just ate the pieces. Didn't expect Phing sha to be a soup (so not as described on menu). Beef is a little chewy, with potatoes, spinach, mushrooms and bean thread noodle. Mild broth. Similar to a filipino soup dish called Nilaga which I already make it at home. Ramen noodle soup was bland. Beef was chewy as well. Steamed beef Momos are good with the chili sauce. Service is great. Very casual eatery. A little bit dark in the indoor dining area. Has 2 outdoor areas but not when it's cold or rainy.

    Vegetable momos
    Michelle C.

    Found this little spot in Jackson heights in the mix of all the million places to eat in the area. I ordered their vegetable momos, sushi pizza, and yellowtail sushi rolls. The momos were delicious, they had spinach and cheese inside. The sushi pizza was super tasty, it had spicy salmon, jalapeños, spicy Mayo, rice and seaweed. The yellow tail rolls were a little plain but still tasty. The place is not aesthetically the best but the food makes up for it.

    Chilly chicken momos

    We came here to try Tibetan Momo's not japanese food. We had steam chicken Momos they were ok good flavor, the sizzling momos was much better than steamed it is nice and spicy sauce, and spicy chilly chicken it was OK, later found out that the dry chilly chicken is much better.

    Dragon roll & Naruto roll
    Fateha A.

    3rd time here, got the salmon poke bowl last night. The servings were too big for us. It was pretty spicy too. The pork contains rice, salmon, cucumber, carrot, mushroom, seaweed salad. Besides the spicy was, it was pretty decent. The time I can before that, we got sushi rolls which were decent as well, don't remember which type since it's been a yr. My friend also got dumplings. The food took awhile to serve which the server informed it'd take.

    Sizzling momo
    Alina H.

    This has been on my radar for a while and on a rainy cold night it seemed like the perfect choice for sizzling momo and authentic Tibetan soup. The menu had a good variety of both Tibetan and Japanese food, but we only had food off the Tibetan menu. Everything was served steaming hot and fresh. We ordered the spicy fried rice, sizzling momo (chicken), and the Then Thug soup. The soup was most definitely a star for me, but the momo had my partner's heart. We also ordered the butter tea was which was different for us both and although not a personal favorite I could tell it was popular among patrons.

    I Ordered takeout from there on New Year's Eve . I ordered a whole bunch of stuff on the menu from both the Japanese side and the Tibetan side .to begin, I think it would be a great idea to number each item on the menu so non Tibetans can actually order in ease without spelling out every letter of the Tibetan dish... it was kinda annoying and time consuming going back and forth confirming whether I got the right order or not . Also asking the lady asked me to pay over the phone even tho i told her that I am picking up and demanded that I give her my credit card number over the phone . I had to run inside to swipe my card risking getting a parking ticket because I was parked on a hydrant. All because she wouldn't put in the order if i don't pay first . I asked the lady how long and she said 30-40 mins ... I thought to myself that's awefully long for a pickup order but ok . I went in after 20 mins just to see if the food is ready and there it is. My food was waiting there for who knows how long ...they could have called me to let me know the food is ready so the food doesn't get cold. Now I got the food and drove off . Thank goodness I didn't get a ticket parking at a hydrant . About 3 blocks away , I got a phone call from the restaurant saying I left a bag of food at the restaurant... I said what do you mean I LEFT my food there. u never gave it to me .. now I am super annoyed since I was already extremely hungry and everyone is waiting for me to come home with food aside from no parking avail to Even go and get the food . The server was apologetic and came out to drop off the food. Now the food part. I ordered the sushi sashimi combo deluxe. The first thing I notice is how thin they cut the fish . I paid 49.99 for it and i am pretty much getting half of what I am supposed to get. One of the shrimp sushi is missing a piece of the shrimp ...I also got this card then thug. It's basically flat noodle soup with beef. Not sure I will ever go back after this experiment.

    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.
