Jackson Heights Momo Guide

Momo is a type of filled dumpling, usually steamed, that’s popular in Tibetan and Nepali cuisine.

(PS. The plural of momo is still momo… I’m getting ripped to shreds over saying “momos” on IG😅)

The best place for momo in NYC? Jackson Heights! Home of the “Little Himalayas”! There are momo spots around every corner, but here are three spots that should be at the top of your list.

📍Amdo Kitchen

📌A small food truck dishing out some of the best beef and chicken momo in the area!

🤫Pro Tip: go wild with the red and white sauces! (Easy on the red if you don’t love the heat)

📍Om Wok

❗️The beef momo are LOADED with flavor and the dough is perfectly thin. There is so much juice in them that it’s almost like eating soup dumplings. PLUS Om Wok was the winner of the 2022 Jackson Heights Momo Crawl!

📌This spot has loads of options ranging from Thai to Indian to Tibetan cuisine

📍Momo Crave

📌While most momo spots in Jackson Heights are “no-frills”, Momo Crave is cute and trendy with a nice ambiance. They dish up inventive, fusion flavor like tandoori momo and even taco momo!

💰The ambiance comes with a price—expect to pay a few dollars more than Om Wok and Amdo Kitchen

📍Lhasa Fast Food

📌If you are looking for authentic Tibetan cuisine, don’t miss Lhasa Fast Food! There are all types of dishes as well as stellar chicken momo.

📍Nepali Bhanchha Ghar

📌The goat jhol momo will change your life. It’s spicey and aromatic with a delightful gaminess and richness. Truly 10/10
