A short introduction

A dumpling house that never learned to cut corners

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.

Why guests come back

Six things we refuse to change

Folded, never machined

Every wrapper is rolled and pleated by hand at the pass. It is slower, and it is the entire point.

Market runs, not warehouses

Produce arrives four mornings a week. If the chard doesn't look right, it doesn't go on the plate.

Heat you can dial in

Mild through blistering. Tell your server where you sit and the kitchen will meet you there.

A table with room for everyone

High chairs, big-group tables, and a menu with real vegetarian and gluten-free choices.

Twelve-minute pickup

Order online and your bag is tied and waiting. No app to download, no account to make.

Trained in Kathmandu

Our momo team learned the fold in Boudha and Thamel before they ever worked a US kitchen.

What guests say

Four point nine, and we are not relaxing

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.
