Great open-air kitchen to watch the stir frying and momo making. Don't know what to get? Say you want the "Ambassador" or point to the sticker - $10 will get you the chef's picks of the day.

Absolutely incredible lunch here! So so cheap and truly delicious, I was licking my plate. A little hard to find, but worth the trek out to Queens

Eating at the 2nd floor Phayul reminded me of sitting in elevated cafes overlooking mountains... except this time I was overlooking the 7 train. The potato momos are the best here.

Chili cucumber salad is a refreshing start; potato shogo momos are a must; tsak sha la kor hot is a hearty oxtail soup rife with sichuan peppercorns.

Beef Momo dumplings, Sliced Pork (pork belly!) with green pepper instead of the fried one... will definitely be others!

Some great gluten free alternatives! The shredded potato is an excellent example. One of the best healthy food options in this area!

This place is super tiny - 20 seats - but it's really clean and the food is excellent, not to mention seriously inexpensive. The entrance is actually on 35th Road.

"Our favorite soup at this Himalayan gem, a beef and egg noodle bowl has a powerful sweet richness like that of marrow or butter. "

The beef momo dumplings had an off putting flavor imo and the pork dish was very fatty. I may have just ordered poorly?
