I love momos but these are not the kind of momos I dream about. They
were plain and oily inside containing only tofu and cabbage. There was so much oil, most of them split open on their own or once touched.
The sauce was nice and had a good kick to it but it did a lot of heavy lifting. I had also asked for medium spicy and was expecting them to come covered in a nice creamy tomato sauce that Tibetan and Nepalese places usually do. This makes me want to make my own momos.
I had ordered the meal version of this but it seemed to be identical to the appetizer version. $16 for this might be fine if you’re sharing it as an app but it doesn’t work as a main. I went and got a soup somewhere else afterwards because this wasn’t filling enough.
I stared at a huge picture of the Dalai Lama the whole meal, which kind of annoyed me since he uses a doctor’s note as an excuse to eat meat. This is why all Lamas should be women, that would never happen.
If you’re in Vancouver, go to Gurkha Himalayan Kitchen in Davie village, their momos and vegan options are fantastic.
