    We were the only customer in this restaurant on a rainy cold Sunday for lunch. The service was great. I had read through the reviews and knew what I wanted to try before going to the restaurant. For three people, we got the - cheesy chicken soup, a side of ting mo, chili ribs, and an order of beef momos. The Bhutanese chicken cheesy soup $11 was spicy and so so good. The flavor was reminiscent of cheesy broccoli soup with lots of boneless thigh meat and green chili's. The ting mo ($2) were sliced and was very much like Chinese steamed buns. Fluffy and fought and great for dipping into the cheesy soup. The ribs $11 were made to be mild and it was fine for everyone. The ginger, scallion, garlic was great to go with the ting mo. The momos $9 are like soup dumplings but with thicker skin. It was fine but I liked the other two a bit more as they were more unique. Total was $34 and we were stuffed. Oh they also gave us a complimentary order of stirred fried garlicky bokchoy and broccoli! Delicious! I can foresee myself craving some of that cheesy chicken soup in the future.

    Tibetan Cabbage Salad
    Corinna W.

    I've never had HImalayan/Tibetan/Bhutanese food before and Wasabi Point was a great start! Ordered beef momos, Tibetan cabbage salad, house salad, thukpa with veggies, and sha datse, with a mango lassi, of course. The mango lassi and both salads were delicious and made a good starter. I felt like the ratio of dough to beef in the momos were too much so I wasn't a fan of those, but the Thukpa (basically thick noodles and veggies in soup with choice of meat/veggie) was yummy and the sha datse (chicken with peppers in a light cheese broth) blew me away. I want to eat datse every day, soooo good! It wasn't spicy for me at all so I added some hot sauce, but it was great without too. The broth was flavorful and tasted slightly similar to broccoli cheese soup, but for sure less thick and fattening. A few days later I ordered from their lunch menu and got the phing sha (clear noodle with beef and spinach), chicken and veggie, and veggie spring rolls with a choice of ting-mos. The phing sha and chicken/veggie dish were ok, but the spring rolls were good, made up of potatoes, carrot, and beansprouts. The tingmos were light and fluffy, like bread should be. Summary: Order the datse. Best thing ever!

    Great place to have breakfast. The service is awesome and Mr. Dawa is friendly owner. I am coming back for second time . Thank you !

    Totally serendipitous moment - walked in here because all the other restaurants were busy on Mother's Day. What a pleasant suprise - I never knew Himalayan/Tibetan cuisine was AWESOME! Everything has a perfect blend of spicy and savory and they offer a Japanese-style menu for those not inclined to try this wonderful taste of Asia. Why not just go to a Japanese restaurant? We ordered beef ribs, mixed veggies, dried chicken (trust me, it's GOOD) and beef datse and they all were great! And they have ICED BARLEY TEA. Oh yeah. A must try if you visit Elmhurst.

    This restaurant is serving worst food ever, the cook is really careless, owner also didn't know what the customers complain about,,busy in counting money, they really doesn't care about the customers, I recommend every body to think before visit this restaurant,, check out pictures of food they served...

    The receipt doesn't say Beef Momo. It actually says nothing about food!

    I ordered beef momo (to go) via phone call. When I went to pick it up he told me $9.98. So I handed over my card and he charged me $12! When I questioned he says it's ok! I felt scammed. Haven't tasted the food yet but already disappointed.

    Beef Chilly $11 - 5/5 stars. Sooo delicious. We got tingmo on the side as well
    Namdol T.

    I came here twice and both times were great experiences. The food is delicious and service is on point as well. I enjoyed the beef chilly the most! Momos were pretty juicy as well but momo skin/dough was a little too thick.

    Mango lassi: love it! Taste like mango yogurt drink. Don't get it if you don't like a little sourness to it

    Don't let the name fool you! Although it says "Wasabi point", it does not mean they are a Japanese restaurant. My boyfriend tried to order sushi but they were always out during their first year of business. My boyfriend was not happy, he wanted sushi. When ever we pass by he would say how bad this place and how the name is stupid because it doesn't make sense when there's no sushi. He then took notice that on their menu there was TIBETAN food, fascinated with their "spicy beef", he ordered it. May I say it was the best spicy beef dish we ever had!, the flavor were just dancing in our mouth. thick cuts of beef with peppers. also try the chicken appetizer, it is amazingly good! so perhaps this saying can go for restaurant as well " Never judge a book by its covers". Good food,nice friendly service. So whats the tip? DO NOT order Japanese food and then go on writing stupid reviews... Instead give their traditional Tibetan food a try, ask for whats good, you won't be disappointed. PROS: Good food, good service, nice cozy atmosphere. Price just right CONS: The name pf the restaurant will confuse the crap out of people....

    spare ribs
    Katherine C.

    Ordered what the other Yelpers recommended and the food did not disappoint! :) Spare ribs (appetizer): I thought they would be American-style (not sure why) but it's more like the spare ribs you get at a Chinese place. Spicy but not too spicy (I almost wish they were more spicy). No matter, they were tasty! Sha datse: You normally don't see cheese in Asian soups so this was interesting and, again, tasty. I liked the little kick the peppers gave the soup. I gave the leftovers to my lil and she liked it as well! Mango lassi: Freaking addictive... I joked with the bf that we should add some soju in it and get him crunk. Ting mo: They reminded me of montaus (Cantonese for this kind of plain steamed bread), which I like. The bf, not so much. I just used it to dip into the sauce that the spare ribs had. Really glad this meal worked out because it was bit of a bolder move for us. The total was about $27 without tip. So, yes, a good bill for a stuffed, happy couple. We took all the leftovers home!

    I've never had Tibetan food before but this place seemed very authentic. The Japanese food seemed a bit random so we stuck with the Tibetan menu. For appetizers, we ordered the Beef Momos which were pretty much beef dumplings, and a chicken soup. The beef dumplings weren't anything crazy but not bad. The chicken soup tasted like egg drop soup. For entrees we ordered the chow mein noodles and mutton curry. The chow mein noodles weren't anything special, just lo mein but the mutton curry was very delicious and full of flavor. It was hands down the best dish that we ordered. I think we would definitely come back to try some of the other dishes. There were things that other tables ordered that looked very delicious. It was a little difficult communicating with our server, especially when we were asking for recommendations.

    Ema Datsi (cheese broth with beef and peppers)
    Sherry B.

    My boyfriend and I ordered Ting-mo (steamed bun) that we dipped into the cheese broth because it was a bit dry. These were so-so. I really enjoyed the Ema Datsi (thick cheese broth with beef and peppers) with rice. We also ordered: -- Beef momos (which are similar to beef soup dumplings) -- Chicken with potato (shoe string fries with chicken and pepper) -- Spare ribs (a bit spicy, but still good) This is the first time I've tried Tibetan food. I would definitely come back for the ema datsi! Food was good. Service was excellent.

    Ema Datsi! Doesn't look appealing, but trust me, get it!

I asked if it was still available and my man hooked me up by popping 2 thick slices of whole grain bread into the toaster and started to hand carve a big hunk of pastrami. I thought I was getting about half of what he pulled out, but he proceeded to pile it all on the bread after squirting on a slew of grainy deli mustard. He apologized for running out of pickles, but all I could think was "Take my money and gimme my sammich!" Even as I cradled the closed plastic container, the smell of hot pastrami permeated my whole bus ride home and I couldn't wait to dig into that salty, peppery crusted, fall apart tender meat sandwich. I'm sure the other people on the bus were jealous. Next time I might even try out some of the other rice & noodle dishes, but that smoky pastrami smell still lingers on in my mind.

Instead, I was served a cheeseburger with french fries, which was completely different from what I ordered. When I brought this to the staff's attention, the response was dismissive and argumentative, rather than focused on resolving the issue. Rather than escalate the situation, I chose to leave. Although I had already paid, I did not feel comfortable staying or continuing the conversation. This was especially disappointing because I have been a loyal customer for years, long before the new ownership. I used to visit frequently, and even now, I go out of my way, often 40 minutes, to come here when I am in Queens dropping off my kids. As someone who does not eat cheeseburgers, receiving that order was both frustrating and avoidable with basic attention to detail. I truly hope the new management takes steps to improve both service and communication moving forward. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I will not be returning. This is coming from a person that has been coming to this place for years. It's sad.

Still a good deal, but no longer the best bang for your buck any more. Probably why I don't visit as often nowadays. With that said, the quality is similar. Food is served on steamed trays, so you pick your choices over rice. Most of the flavors are still quite amazing, though some food lose their crispiness or a bit lukewarm sitting there. Regardless, always a good. On the negative side, the lady server is literally counting how many little shrimps are in my dish from one of my choices. It felt very odd when she took a shrimp off my plate and put it back into the tray. I asked if I could get a couple more calamari pieces and she said that she would have to remove more shrimp to do so. This was not how they use to operate, but I guess times are tough. On the other hand, I was given a lot more of the string beans with chicken liver, which makes sense since it's a cheaper protein. Btw, the fish is yummy, but you only get about 3-4 pieces. Therefore, I think you should order that item separately and not on rice if you want a decent portion. Bottom line, Khao Kang is no longer where I will go for a delicious cheap meal on regular basis. However, it is still a wonderful quick sit down or grab-n-go spot for some of the most authentic tasting Thai food in NYC for a reasonable price.

We happened to be here on Wednesday at lunch hours, so we were able to take advantage of the Lunch Special. Two dishes with soup for $24.95. That's is a steal and they didn't skim on the portion. We also added few more dishes. Pig Stomach & Pickled Mustard Green Soup I know it sounds kind of gross but there are a ton of nutrients in animal intestines. The soup was a light broth with a lot of flavors. I enjoyed it more than I expected. Three Cup Chicken This is a popular Taiwanese dish serving chicken braised in a savory aromatic sauce, and Thai basil added for flavor. It's has a sticky, glazed finish. The meat is tender, tasty and went well with a nice bowl of white rice. Sauteed A Vegetable You always need to order a stir-fry vegetable to break up the greasy food. This dish is simple and hit the spot. Clams in Black Bean Sauce A classic seafood dish. Clam was fresh and a good size. It wasn't the best I had but good enough. Stinky Tofu If you know, you know! The Taiwanese version is a little different than the Hong Kong version. It's not as good as I remembered it but I'm happy to be able to taste this again. The tofu was very crispy. Minced Pork Rice It's a must order at any Taiwanese restaurant. The mixed of savory meat with pickled vegetables is addicting. Friendly service. Our tea cup was filled often.
