Really liked the momo. We had the pork(steamed) and vegetable (fried). Spend the $1.95 and get the supinmandu, goes great with momos. The mothuk had a subtle yet delicious flavor. You can add hoisin, soy or sriracha sauce to enhance the flavor. Will definitely be going back to try other dishes.

This place is one of the most underrated. If you are brown get the spicy Thukpa Neuma. Tastes just like the Indo-Chinese noodles! The best!

This is a great place to go for lunch with friends. When the four of us go, we normally get 2-3 plates of dumplings and one noodle dish to share. Excellent service, too!

The restaurant was a nice place: fun atmosphere,beautiful furniture, really kind and helpful staff. The menu has more variety than I was expecting, with sections for both Tibetan and Chinese dishes. Personally, I got some fried Tibetan chicken dumplings and my date got steamed ones. The food is very meat heavy and a little low on spices, but it comes with a hot (read HOT) chili dipping sauce. Honestly it wasn't my favorite place in the world. I'm not likely to go back, but that's just because the food wasn't for me. It's a great little place and if it's your type of flavor, you'll absolutely love it. Hell, id recommended going just to try it out if you're unsure. We were in and out pretty quick, and it's fairly average priced for a sit down restaurant in Amherst.

Amazing food and great ambiance! Their food is also vegetarian (and likely vegan) friendly. There’s so many dishes on the menu I want to try so I will definitely be going back!

The food is amazing! It was so flavorful and just well cooked in general! Really love the place and will definitely be coming back. My favorite dish was the Shogkok Momo, it reminded me of something that my mom makes and it really made me feel at home and happy. It's like a friend dumpling with potatoes in it. Definitely give it a try if you're looking for some comfort food. The Spicy chicken was also really amazing with rice!

Just went on a date here with my boyfriend. I can’t believe we hadn’t tried it sooner! We loved it. We had no idea what to order because neither of us have had Tibetan food before, but our waitress was so sweet and patient and helped us find something we both would like. We ordered one of the teas and for our entrees we got momos, a soup, and the steamed bread. Everything went so well together and the bread was perfect with the soup! I can’t wait to come back and try more combinations. Great place for a nice date night. Totally recommend! 💜

I placed an order of some potato appetizer and I asked the waitress if there were any onions. The waitress responded and said that there were indeed green onions but that they could make them without the green onions. I said great! The potatoes came out with onions and the waitress realized too when she placed them on the table. I immediately asked if I could have the dish remade without onions and she said yes. She took the dish away. A few minutes later, after talking to some boss lady in the back (within earshot no less), she comes back and tries to convince me that I should pay for two orders of potatoes. I say absolutely not of course. She isn't convinced, so I say I will have nothing then. Hilariously bad experience. I would not trust food coming out of that kitchen knowing how cheap they are.

I don't know if it was the time that I visited the restaurant or if it's this is case every time... Service was ridiculously slow - 1 server waiting 8 tables, no one to help out. I liked the momo! I got the vegetable momos, which were really good, and it seemed like a popular joint, among not just school goers but also families. Would have loved to order more, hopefully sometime in the future.

I had such a great time here! I came on a Friday and the waitress there was really nice. I’m a broke student so I only got tea and an appetizer but the waitress was really sweet and understanding about it! I’m going again this weekend and definitely recommend it to everyone else.

The food is outstanding! The service was also very polite. The momo are really fresh and flavorful, and the soups are really delicious. I would also recommend the bread! Be warned, though, as the portions are quite large and the food is somewhat heavy in garlic, chives, and green onion.

Took my mom as she has never had Tibetan style food. Dishes were fresh and with depth of flavor that had us coming away feeling satisfied and healthy. Momos are amazing, spices perfect and fried rice arguably best we have ever had. Cozy clean environment with beautiful tables and excellent service. Yum and will return!!!

The shabhaley, the momos... so many of the dishes are delicious! Get the lamb filling! The beef tongue appetizer is fabulous, as is the zeebhu lhusha (a lamb stir-fry with cumin). Try the tinga bread...a spongy, fluffy wonder that is delicious dipped into whatever you order!Really reasonable prices, and helpful staff. I dream of these dumplings...

The wait staff is very kind and helpful, but feels inattentive at times. The food is very good and unique. Definitely order the Tibetan dishes (as opposed to the generic Chinese dishes which are also available). Be aware that almost all of the Tibetan dishes are spicy to some degree.My favorite dishes:1. ORGANIC LAMB SHA BHALEY2. ZEEBHU LHUSHA3. NYAM ZUMB KATSA
