Delicious. Food was excellent. We had the Thukpa, the yellow lentil soup, and chicken momo. Service was friendly. We hope they transition to reusable serving ware and take out containers soon because we would love to come back!

Food (1.5/2): After the 2nd time ordering from this place, I can say that their momos are great! Though the wrapping is a bit thick/doughy for my taste, the fillings were juicy and well-seasoned. Jhol momo sauce had a nice hint of spicy without being overwhelming and adds a layer of fresh, nutty flavor to each bite. On the other hand, the goat curry was quite a disappointment. The curry sauce was simple and decent. The meat was well-cooked. Nevertheless, our meat had a lot of bones--especially the smaller ones, which made eating it rather unpleasant. Service/wait-time/cleanliness (1.5/2): Last I went the service was great and cleanliness is well maintained. However, the wait-time was rather long when it was only my party that had orders (and not that many either. Price (0.5/1): Price is a mix. For the momos, they're basically a great deal--especially when compared to other restaurants that serve similar cuisines. However, for their other dishes, I think it is not well-priced, especially given the contents of the dish.

Found this spot which is Nepalese food establishment that looks to stay authentic! The dining area was super clean, well organized with utensils napkins etc all on the counter. They do have TVs but i think it's for promotions and music videos. Now on a fiery hot day i can tell you their AC wall unit is an ice box. The temps dropped with the rain today so it was freezing for us to dine in (I'm sure they would have adjusted the temp) but we didn't want to make them go out of their way. The owner and staff were super nice. It looked like the food was cooked to order and hand made. So be a bit patient, still it didn't take that long maybe 15min but felt longer cause we were cold. We got the Momo's of course and decided to try the pan fried version. I thought the pan fry could have lasted a tad longer to make the momo wrap a bit crispier to hold when eating haha but not a big deal. The pork filling tasted fresh, my preference would have been nice with a tad more seasoning in the pork mix. The sauces they give you, the dark red is a spicy sauce and the orange/yellow is a very TASTY sauce. I'm not certain what the sauce is but it went great with the momo! Take a bite, and get some that sauce inside for the next bite. Would order again in one of their other versions! We also got the chicken chili, pictures looked good. Now i was kind of expecting it to be similar to Thai Crispy chicken basil, but it was like a hybrid of that and general gau chicken. There was a nice hint of a spicy kick to it with the onions and peppers stirred in. The sauce was good overall. I believe they used all white meat chicken for that dish for those that prefer that. Myself, i like thigh meat for these type of dishes but again just a preference thing! Will be back when in the area! Thank you!

I have been itching to try momos and today, we decided to make the trip to Somerville to try! **There's plenty of meter parking outside on the street. The inside of Tasty Mo:Mo is super clean and they had the air conditioning blasting, which was great since it was an extremely hot week but it got unbearably cold while we were waiting for our food. We decided to try the Kothey (pan-fried) pork momo & chicken chili. Both dishes tasted fresh and it was a pleasant experience. This is more of a take out spot than a sit down dine in, I would say. The Kothey pork momo had good flavor and the dipping sauces they give, did not overpower the momos. The chicken chili reminded me of General Tso's chicken. It was yummy and had good flavor but not what I expected for the flavor profile. They used chicken breasts for this dish. It had a nice kick to it but not so spicy that it made my nose run haha. This was my first time trying Nepalese cuisine and I would come here again !

The pork fried momos were pretty flavorful and juicy. The thali was a bit expensive for what we received. Curry in the thali was really good, though. Service was friendly. I think Tasty Momo was good, but the competition is a little too strong in the area. There are actually a LOT of places to get momos around here. I still prefer Kantipur Cafe and Himalayan Kitchen.

Yummy dumplings momo in Somerville. Pan fried and steamed momo are v good, better than deep fried. Pork is more flavorful than beef. Nice juicy fillings with good amount of meat. Casual eatery with 6 tablespoons, a popular for take out.

Really love the portion size and the flavor here! Have picky eaters in the family but everyone loved the food. Vegetable Curry was delicious! So flavorful and so perfect with the rice. No complaints at all! Steamed Chicken Momos - really big and good. We got eight in the one order and they were all really large as well. Definitely very filling. Not a fan of the sauce on the side but the momos didn't really need them. Goat Curry - amazing! Mutton was very tender and so perfectly cooked! Meat pretty much fell off the bone. So good. Large amount of pieces too (and good ones. Not just bones) Chicken Curry - also very good! Lot lot lot of chicken, and lot of flavor. Not too expensive and worth the price!

I found this place on Yelp when I was staying at a relative's in Sommerville. This place was so good, we went back again for a second time during this 6 day visit!! The employees were friendly and welcoming, knowledgeable of their menu. We ordered: chili fries, steamed vegan Momo, Kothey Momo vegan, fried rice no egg Everything was delicious. I can't speak for "authenticity" since I'm not Himalayan but the momos here were honestly the best we've ever had in all our momo-eating days. The wrapper had just the right amount of bite to it and the filling was juicy and plump, stuffed full of veggies. The chili fries were only okay since they got a little soggy by the time we got home with our takeout but they were awesome when we dined in later that week. The Kothey Momo wasn't our favorite only because it took trying it for us to realize we want steamed momos to dip in the sauce ourselves. The fried rice was aromatic and full of flavor. We ordered no egg for me, the vegan, so know that that is an option if you are vegan and want fried noodles or fried rice. I'm definitely going to come here again when we return April 2024.

It was our last day in Boston and I am a huge momo (dumpling) fan and it made absolute sense to stop by this place! This is a small traditional nepalese family run momo restaurant. There is reasonable seating inside. We placed an order to go since we were getting late for our flight back to Seattle. We ordered their chilli chicken momos, pork jhol momos, chicken chowmein noodles and EVERYTHING was delicious inspite of having tasted it 8 hours after being freshly made in their kitchen. The flavors had depth and were authentic. Their spice levels are awesome too so folks be aware. The service was great and several folks (especially students) line up for togo orders here. If you pay cash you get a discount (this was way back in Oct 2022 though) All in all this will be a place I highly recommend for dumpling lovers in Boston and I will frequent it whenever I am here.
