I visited yesterday (Monday) and it wasn’t busy. I tried both the veg and chicken momos. The chicken momos were really delicious, especially with their hot sauce, while the veg momos were decent. The service was a bit slow, but overall, it was a good experience.

This restaurant is located in Kensington Market, so expect it to be busy on weekends. You can park in a Green P or another public parking lot. The washrooms are downstairs and quite small.

Vegetarian options: Most of the items in the menu are available as Veg options too.

Parking: Paid parking lot available nearby.

Wheelchair accessibility: Not accessible.

I had never tried momos before, but I highly recommend this place! From the design to the vibe, everything is great, and the sauces are delicious.

A recent favorite dining experience. Thoughtful, culturally enlightening, with a taste of 3 different Momo and butter tea.
I met the owner (and Mom), and her son and we had a chat which I thoroughly enjoyed.

The son shared some Tibetan food cultural traditions - like "preserving life" where historically there was a preference for butchering a (large) cow versus several (small) chickens - so you were more likely to see Momo made with large animals like Cow, Yak, etc versus chicken momo or others made with small animals. "Sanctity of life"!

The son and mum also shared how they preserve their culture here through events -  on Wednesday evenings, a tribute to the Dalai lama. Families and friends, and Tibetans who follow the Dalai lama's philosophies gather in community spaces to be together, dancing, singing, eating and more. They also shared a YouTube video - they have a little TV at the bar where I sat.

I learnt about their naming traditions too.

I enjoyed the cultural education as much, if not more than the food.  I liked the butter tea, a touch salty, with a bit of body. I enjoyed the Momo as well

Vegetarian options: I had a vegetarian momo

Food was good, both in quality & quantity. The steamed momos were very close to those that I have had amongst Tibetian families & eateries in Indian Himalayas. But, the icing on the cake was the Chicken Thupka that was better.

The food and drinks are really good and the staff are very kind. The front patio is accessible , but to get inside you have to use stairs. Nice but small outdoor front patio! I did not get a chance to check out the back. Thank you !

Came here with my cousin a couple of weeks ago. I never tried Tibetan food before so I was curious about what it was all about. Every dish I tried was fresh and flavourful. I especially liked the cajun chilli momos and find myself thinking about them from time to time. Service was friendly and the place has a chill vibe. Definitely gonna come back next time I'm in the area.

We ordered chicken momo and it was bland and dry.

Not the authentic tiberina momos.

Search for “momo corner” and go there. It was so bad I had to leave some.

I am not sure why the reviews are so good.

One of those places.

Not good or bad. Only went there based on the reviews and wanting to try out Tibetan food. Also not fond of the extra charge for using credit card.
