The Everest Momo

Fantastic locally run spot with a concise and tasty menu. This was my second time getting lunch here, you'll see the Chicken Chili with Chow Mein pictured here with some of their spicy sauces and a masala tea. Everyone was really courteous and my food was ready pretty quickly, visit them sometime soon!

On a Thursday at noon, I passed by The Everest Momo, and I had to stop. I grew up eating chow mein in Calcutta, India and momos in Jackson Heights, New York. I wanted to see if this food would take me back. The menu is simple and easy to digest. The lunch rush was just beginning. There were six people ahead of me. I was in line for less than five minutes. I was greeted by a friendly staff member behind the counter. Placing an order of the chicken combo took less than a minute. He even brought out my tea, prior to the food being ready, so that I could enjoy it hot while waiting. Five minutes later my food was ready. The chicken momos were flavourful without any sauces. I expected the chicken chow mein to be spicy—only because street food in India tends to be very spicy. The chicken chow mein was delicious. The ingredients were fresh. It was not oily at all. The food definitely took me back. I will be recommending this place to my friends.

Recently opened here and resembles a brick and mortar food truck more than a restaurant. With almost no seating its a place to order food to go and it's served like that. While they have several dishes, i tried the namesake Momos. They were served in a cardboard takeout container quickly. A variety of three sauces is available ny the pick up window: a hot sauce which is a Sriracha derivative, ketchup, and a tan one that i thought would be peanut based but was not. I've had better momos. The other dishes looked decent so I'll have to try them on a furure visit.

Edit: When this place originally opened, the chicken chili was good. Then they changed the recipe and it was okay. Now that they’ve reopened, the chicken chili is the best it’s ever been. Please don’t change it :) I absolutely love this place. I regularly get the chicken momo and masala tea. The staff are super friendly every time I go in. I'm always taking new people to share my love of momos.

Yes! Finally an indo-chinese restaurant in the neighborhood! I ordered the momos which are Chinese steamed dumplings spiced with garlic and ginger. The momos had a nicely cooked, thin wrapper and the veggies were well cooked. I also ordered the noodles, which were not oily at all, unlike other info-Chinese places I’ve been to; I wish they were spicier but there was chili sauce to accompany the noodles. Oh, and my favorite was the momo chutney. I will definitely be returning to this place in the future :)
