About LHASA LIANG FEN

Lhasa Liang Fen is a cozy hidden spot in Elmhurst that serves traditional Tibetan dishes. The small restaurant is clean and decorated with ethnic touches, creating a warm atmosphere. The staff is friendly and helpful, making sure dietary needs for vegan customers are met. The butter tea is rich, and the liangfen is cool and spicy with a perfect kick, served with a tasty chili sauce that adds just the right spicy flavor. The vegetarian liangfen, a jelly-like cold dish, is a must-try, especially when topped with beef or extra chili oil. The momos, both meat and veggie, are flavorful and have a good chew, with the beef momos coming with a spicy chili sauce that complements them well. The stir fried tongue is a standout dish—tender, flavorful, and melting in the mouth with a slightly charred taste that makes it very enjoyable. The special liang fen with Wai Wai noodles features uncooked crumbled instant ramen wrapped in a noodle-like pancake, offering a chewy texture that some may find spicy. The Tibetan sausage, or gyuma, has a grainy, crumbly texture and a mild flavor, served in a chili-infused sauce that brightens the palate. The restaurant’s casual and simple environment features a TV playing music videos and commercials, adding to its charm. Service is friendly and accommodating, even allowing restroom use without an order. Despite some minor inconveniences, the quality and variety of food make this restaurant a worthwhile visit, especially for those interested in authentic Tibetan flavors like momos, liangfen, and gyuma. The affordable prices and large portions make it a great spot for casual dining with friends or family.
