Momo & Asian Kitchen · NY · VA · TX
Fourteen pleats, a filling seasoned the way it has been done in Kathmandu for generations, and a bamboo steamer that never gets a day off. Pull up a chair.
A short introduction
Target Momo House began with one steamer, one recipe and a stubborn conviction that a momo folded by hand tastes different from one pressed by a machine. Nine years later we run three kitchens across the United States and we still fold every single one by hand, every single morning.
Our menu runs from Himalayan classics to the wok dishes we grew up eating after school. Everything is cooked to order, the chili is adjustable, and nobody at this table has ever been rushed through a meal.

What guests say
The jhol momo is the reason I moved my standing Friday dinner here. That broth has ruined every other dumpling for me.
Took the whole family, including two picky kids and my father-in-law who doesn't like anything. Four clean plates. I don't know how they did it.
Ordered pickup at 6:40, walked in at 6:52, bag was tied and waiting on the shelf with my name on it. Still steaming at home.
