is my go to spot when I am in the neighborhood. Everything I have had is so good. There is both comfort and uniqueness in the food that I have honestly not found anywhere else.
Favorite dishes. The 19 Chili Dofu is incredible. I ordered it on a whim once and I am not even a big tomato or bell pepper person, which are the two main ingredients, but it is so delicious. I am literally hungry thinking about it as I write this. I also love the Thang and the momos.
It is walk in only and often has a line. It can get a little noisy, and the bathroom is down a very steep staircase. Even with that, it is absolutely worth it.

I had a a very lovely, satisfying solo meal here tonight. I ordered the gyathuk ngopa and the house made Darjeeling chai tea. It was a perfect portion (for me) and I ate every last pea. I’ve noticed the crossovers in noodles from Xian Foods, Uyghur food in Brighton Beach, and even Italian pasta in Himalayan food — celery, basil, garlic, cabbage, chili sauce, peas, and cumin? In the same vein, It’s unlike anything.
The quality of this restaurant is what you can only find in parts of Queens…and the price is right for lower Manhattan. The family who run the show are kind and care about their food. Stop by! And order the Shapta plate too

We got the chili chicken, the lamb curry, chai, paratha and mango lassi. Good portions for the price. Everything was delicious and seasoned well. Tasted like home cooking. Entrees came with rice, as real Asian food should. Staff was very chill and attentive but also didn’t come over a million times during dinner which I personally appreciate.

It’s a hike in the way. But I’ve been eating here for over 10 years. It is my favorite comfort food in all of New York. Just 10/10 never misses.

I tried the veg thukpa and it tasted great. I have an indian tastebud so I had to add some hot sauce (they give it on the side by default), but it was quite flavorful even without it. I wish they added less noodles though. Service was great. Place is a little cramped.
Note that they charge extra for credit card payments. Would recommend cash
You wouldn’t think much of this place from how small and run down it is. We went by on a Saturday night and it was packed. Quick turn around, got seated in 15-20min.
Chili Chicken and Chili Bofu were best items we ordered. The Chai Tea Latte was also amazing.
Would definitely go again. Quick and easy service. Super affordable for the area!

Their dishes impress. The restaurant stays tidy. Nothing disappoints. Worth experiencing. This restaurant maintains high standards throughout. The workers are both pleasant and well-informed. Each bite delivers unexpected pleasure. The spot is ideally situated and the team treated us well from arrival to departure.
