The Momo King: Reviews & Ratings
My 2nd Visit: Ordered Butter Momo’s and COCO momos! Both are unique flavor and Amazing! ——- 1st Visit I recently visited this place and tried both the Chicken Chilli Momo and the Veg Chilli Momo — and I must say, they were absolutely fantastic! The momos were served hot and fresh, with just the right amount of spice and flavor. The outer layer was perfectly steamed and slightly crispy from the pan toss, while the fillings were juicy, well-seasoned, and incredibly satisfying. What impressed me even more was the speed of service — my order was ready in no time. The staff were not only efficient but also very friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. It’s clear they care about both quality and customer experience. The pricing is very reasonable, especially considering the generous portions and the quality of the food. You definitely get great value for your money here. This place is a must-try if you’re a momo lover or just looking for something flavorful and comforting. I’m already looking forward to my next visit — planning to try more items on their menu. Highly recommended!
Every time I eat here, I feel better about my life. The spices are magic. The dumplings are perfectly formed. You can get vegetable fried rice for ten bucks and get proper basmati rice with fresh vegetables and uplifting spices for your lunch.
Located inside the food court, this place offers authentic momos. The butter chicken Momos featured the classic buttery gravy of butter chicken dish and are not at all spicy while the chili chicken Momos are flavorful and on the spicier side.
Who knew there’s a hidden gem inside of a mall’s food court? I’ve been here a few times since they opened and I can say they have been consistent with their food quality. I truly enjoy their butter chicken momo and coco momo! I have been reluctant to try other momos just because I like these two a lot! I also recommend their mango lassi, tasty and refreshing! If you’ve never had momo, you should definitely check this place out!
How come this place is not packed?!! People, stop eating burgers and fries and try cuisines of the world! Momos are dumplings, it can be steamed or pan fried. We ordered a steamed veggie momo plate and a steamed non-veg momo plate. Both were delicious! Came with 2 types of sauces, one hot and the other a coconut sauce. The quantity of one plate that is 8 momos is filling for one person for lunch. Service was fast. I highly recommend Momo King and plan to come here whenever I'm at the mall.
My 1st time trying it, ordered thru door dash so dont know about the establishment. I ordered the chicken butter momo, pork momo whole, and Tasmania rice. The pork jhol momo was the winner, nice little kick, and momo are actually a good size portion. The butter chicken momo was good also but more sweet. Ima savory girl. So im glad I tried and I will visit the restaurant next time to get the full experience. Try it out im sure you will like it!!
It's a food court so I can't say much for the atmosphere The food shocked me! I did not expect such quality or freshness when I first tried it tucked between Sbarro's and a philly cheese steak joint. The dumplings were tender and luscious filled with veggies and bulgar. The butter sauce was silky smooth and just a touch spicy today I try the chili momo and though I came for coconut the young Nepalese girl who helped me suggested I do the chili version. Ok spicy! Simply beautiful deep red in color loaded with peppers, onion and tomatoes. Supremely good.
Fabulous nepalese momo place in Tacoma. I stopped by for a quick evening snack and ordered their butter momos (chicken) - literally chicken momos drenched in butter chicken gravy (10/10 flavors) and the chilli momos (chicken) - fabulous. Both the momos were fresh and steamed to perfection and seasoned very well and the sauces complimented the momos very well. The next time I want to try their chowmein and basic steamed/fried momos. The lady taking the orders was super sweet and order was freshly made and ready in about 10mins. Highly recommend to satisfy your nepalese momo cravings when in the area. See you soon!
