Best Momo’s in the Bay Area hands down!!! It’s our gang’s go to “eat & hang out” place! The guys are also super nice! Their Chowmein is also awesome and the milk tea is also good!!
We were visiting San Jose and came to have some warm lunch on a Sunday afternoon. The place was a pleasant surprise with affordable prices and a selection of fresh, warm, and healthy food cooked right at the place. For example, they had not fried/fat rice and dumplings (momos) options. The place was not crowded, but customers were coming and going.
We ended up ordering vegetarian rice and momos, paid around 19 usd for everything. The place has tables next to it, we were eating there, but people were mostly taking away.
Overall, the food was tasty, sufficient portions, the service - fast and polite. I have only one suggestion to the food: I would love to have sour cream to my dumplings :)
One negative observation is the amount of plastic and waste that the order generated: we got all the food wrapped in foil and placed in paper containers, we got plastic forks and spoons, we got several sauces in plastic cups, everything was wrapped in a plastic bag. I wish there was an alternative to all this plastic, which we did not really need because we were eating right at the place.
Overall I can recommend this place, it is a very good budget alternative to the expensive restaurants on the Santana street.
