This is my second experience at Momo King, and I liked it just as much! I came back for the chicken lollipops but they were out, so I tried the chicken and rice noodles. The chicken was so good and the veg was an interesting contrast. It was a bit spicy for me, but the flavor was so good I couldn't stop eating it! Thank goodness I ordered the delicious lassi to counter the spiciness! It will take them a little longer than the other mall places to get your food, but that doesn't mean it takes a long time, and it's worth the wait.

The vegetable momo was delightful, familiar as an Indian dish with its sweet creamy but savory flavors but the addition of their dumplings along with a side of rice made the experience wholesome and new, also considering the staff was very friendly. The Mango lassi was the perfect finish to balance it all. Thank you Momo King!

I have been wanting to try this for quite a while and I wasn't entirely disappointed the biggest drawback was having to go to the mall food court. I did get the fried chili momos and I loved them nice little dumplings with spiced meat in a fiery sauce. I really want to go back and try the butter momos and if I have to uber them I will lol. The service was good I mean the lady at the counter was nice, it's a food court. So don't go for the ambience go for the food it's a great take out and if they had a stand alone sit down I would go in a minute and try a few dishes.

Delicious, flavourful, and fresh dumplings! Nepali cuisine and momos aren't super common here, so I was super excited to try The Momo King! The food exceeded my expectations! The meat inside was well-seasoned, and the sauces were full of flavour. The lassi was good too, tasted as I expected. We followed the staff's recommendation and got the chili momo and butter momo. If you're good with spice, the chili momo is a good amount of spice (not too hot, but definitely a noticeable kick). The butter momos were my favourite. The butter curry sauce was so flavourful, our party ended up eating all the extra curry sauce too. Overall decent portion size for the price. Would definitely grab momos here again! Hoping to try the plain momo or cheese momo next time.

I tried to eat more spicy stuff, that being said I am still not the strongest with it so if you like spicy ignore my review of that. I was at the mall and they offered a free sample, I tried the coco momo and it was a tad spicy. I wasn't in the mood to get food, but it intrigued me to come back. When I was back at the mall I wanted to try it so this time I got the butter momo. It is soooo good. I felt for the price it is a decent and filling amount of food. Also kinda of a fun unique option in the mall. The people working are super nice and give good recommendations as well. I would definitely go back if I am in the area!

I've been pretty curious about this place for the past couple of years lol. So I finally gave it a shot. I had ordered the butter chicken dumplings and these were amazing. The price of what you get for the portions on this was pretty worth it. The customer service was great, and I guess overall the vibe I mean it is inside the mall so you can have that option of eating inside the food court or just getting an order to go.
