Mom's Momo

This was my first time trying Tibetan food at Mom’s Momo, and while it was interesting, I wasn’t crazy about it. I ordered the beef fried momos and yellow laphing. The momos had a nice crispy exterior and decent flavor, but the filling felt inconsistent—some bites were just the dumpling wrapper without much meat inside. The yellow laphing was unique. I didn’t realize it’s meant to be served cold, so I reheated it, but it still tasted good. It came with a dipping sauce that numbed the spice (probably from Sichuan peppercorns), which helped tone down the heat. Without the sauce, it was pretty spicy. Overall, the food was okay, but nothing blew me away. It was a decent introduction to Tibetan cuisine, but I’m not sure I’d rush back.

I’ve been to NYC many times, but these Momos were some of the best things I’ve ever eaten in the city. The dipping sauce that comes with it is extraordinary. Very reasonably priced. Highly recommend taking a trip out to Queens to try these.

My husband and I are loyal to Mom’s Momos. Of all the momos we’ve tried in the area, Mom’s beef fried momo are perfectly pan fried and juicy on the inside.

Amazing steamed momos. I’ll have to try the fried next time, but the steamed were seasoned and cooked perfectly. The lahping was great too, but the momos were a better choice. Extremely quick service and very kind people. Highly recommend it!

A momo is basically a soup dumpling thats fried. This food truck has momos in steam ovens so it takes very little time to get your food. Anyone who has gone to a restaurant and ordered soup dumplings know that you will often get them after you are almost done with your main course. The dumplings came out quick, it was juicy and delicious. And good bargain. You will find many other momo places in Jackson Heights. Maybe some are better but if you don’t want to risk it, this is a dependable place to get good dumplings at a good value.
