California MoMo Kitchen

Great food and friendly staff! We really enjoyed momos and skewers. Chicken was tender with decent portion size. Momos were so good that this is the first time I've had such delicious Momos. This has become our go to Nepali restaurant now... Highly recommend if you're in South Bay near Sunnyvale/Santa Clara.

I highly recommend this spot for their jhol momo. The momo are satisfyingly large, and they're generous with the extra sauce (hot ones). The lamb skewers with rice dish was also impressive, featuring large pieces of lamb and a substantial amount of rice. The green chutney that comes with skewers is also very good.

OMG. Don't walk to this place. Run!! This place is the real deal. I wanted some momo so stopped by. Ordered the small chicken momo, and thinking that wouldn't be enough I ordered a chicken skewer with rice. The momo came and was fantastic. Bigger than I thought so I stopped at three. Then the skewer came and I was expecting one small skewer and a little rice. To my surprise it must have been two large skewers and a large mound of excellent rice. And broccoli, brussel sprouts and peppers!! The flavor of everything was amazing! They also brought a large bowl of a spectacular sauce. All the spices and flavors were simply amazing!! I come to Santa Clara for work from the east coast and can guarantee I'll be back here every time I'm in town. I can't recommend highly enough! Nice low key location. Excellent service. And very friendly people. You can't go wrong here.

Great find - love their goat curry, the soupy momos (jhol?), mustang potatoes and waiwai chaat. Highly recommended.

A simple place for chile chicken, momos, chicken lollipop and fried eggplant. All were tasty and great texture. Serving size generous. Service was friendly.

Went here for lunch. The friendly host helped us find a table. The restaurant has a nice ambiance and is spacious. We ordered the veg and chicken (kothey) momos along with the mustang aloo. Everything was very flavorful. The momos frankly didnt need any sauce with it. Also the green covering of the veg momo actually had spinach instead of green food color that some of the other places use. Mustang aloo was also tasty. Spicy, kinda crunchy on the outside and soft inside. Will be back here for more.

The ambiance at this restaurant is serene with soothing Nepali music in the background. They even take music requests and offer an open mic! I found the open mic to be a very memorable experience and enjoyable with friends. The seating options are plentiful, and the outdoor area was perfect for me and my little pet Bella. Despite the high foot traffic, the servers remain friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. I love it here because of their considerate menu. I love how they have incorporated gluten free options, vegetarian options and even halal options on their menu! Recently we utilized their catering service over the weekend, and they exceeded our expectations. The food arrived on time, beautifully presented, and clearly labeled. As some of our guests were vegetarian, it was very important for us to have clear information. Over all and most importantly the food was the star of the show, everything was absolutely delicious.

Delicious momos! Veggie chili momos were very flavorful. Chicken momos were good too! Chowmein had a great flavor. The place is spacious and ample seating. Decor is minimal and shows Nepali cultural influences. They also got karaoke spot. Service was good as well. Portions are good a bit expensive though.

We came to SanFrancisco from New York for few days. I googled Nepalese restaurants and found this restaurant. We went there for dinner. All foods we ordered were so delicious. The server was very nice and friendly. Per his recommendation, we also tried their new recipe Crispy Momo. That was also so good. So, this is the best restaurant among the restaurants we went in SanFrancisco area from few days. I highly recommend this restaurant for delicious foods.

We’ve had Momos at quite a few places in the Bay Area, and I have to say they have the best Momo‘s hands-down. Size, quality, and quantity are top notch. The fried rice and chow mein is also really good. Additionally, we’ve tried some of the Indian dishes like paneer tikka masala, and it’s our favorite.

Absolutely loved this place! The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked especially the momos, which were juicy and full of authentic taste. The staff were super friendly and made us feel welcome right away. The restaurant was clean and had a cozy, relaxing atmosphere. You can really tell they care about quality and customer satisfaction. Definitely one of the best spots in California for authentic Nepalese and Himalayan food. Highly recommend trying the chicken and veggie momos they’re incredible!

Best local restaurant! The momos are always fresh, tasty, and full of flavor and we love the beef momos and chicken skewers with extra veggies. We’ve been ordering from here since they opened and have never been disappointed. I bring all my friends here, and everyone agrees the food is really great. Highly recommend!

Really amazing food with generous portions at affordable prices. + Momo was great. We especially enjoyed the pan seared or steamed style + All the skewers were good, but I like the lamb the most + Goat curry was awesome. Full of flavor and the goat was very skillfully prepared

We had a fantastic time! The food was so good, we had the momo sample plate, the curry with potatoes and basmati rice, the lamb and chicken skewers with saffron rice and enjoyed everything including the staff/ family that runs the restaurant that made us feel so welcomed. Looking forward to the next time.

I had the best momos in Bay Area at this hidden gem! They have amazing options for both veg and non-veg lovers - the veg momos were flavorful and the chicken momos were tender and juicy! The staff was super friendly and welcoming. The floor, table and restroom cleanliness was good too . Can't wait to come back and try more of their delicious dishes.

My husband and I recently visited this Nepali restaurant, and overall, we had a really good experience. We ordered the chicken Jhol Momos and the combo skewer platter that came with both chicken and lamb, served with a side of rice. The food arrived fresh and well presented. The chicken Jhol Momos were absolutely delicious — rich, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. They were easily the highlight of the meal for me. The skewer platter, however, was a bit of a mixed experience. The chicken skewers were juicy and flavorful, but the lamb was unfortunately very tough and hard to chew, so both my husband and I ended up leaving it. Our friends ordered the veggie Jhol Momos and the Nepali Thali, and they really enjoyed their dishes. The restaurant serves halal food, which is definitely a plus. The ambiance was lively and welcoming, and it seemed quite popular since most tables were full. Portion sizes were generous, and the prices felt reasonable for the amount of food served. Overall, it’s a great place to try if you’re craving authentic Nepali flavors. I’d happily return for the chicken dishes, especially the Jhol Momos, but I’d skip the lamb next time.

We recently visited California Momo Kitchen and had a wonderful Himalayan food experience. We tried their steamed chicken and lamb momos, and both were absolutely exceptional. They were properly stuffed, incredibly juicy, and packed with flavor--easily the highlight of our meal. We also ordered the chicken kothe momos. They were decent, but compared to the steamed momos, they were just okay. The chicken chow mein was very delicious--well-cooked noodles with lots of fresh veggies and chicken . Great flavor and generous portions. Another standout dish was the Chicken Helambu Aloo, a traditional Himalayan curry that was rich, comforting, and full of authentic flavors. The service was very good--the staff patiently answered all our questions and happily accommodated our needs, which made the experience even better. The ambience is casual and fun, perfect for a relaxed meal. Overall, California Momo Kitchen is a great spot for Himalayan cuisine, especially if you love juicy, flavorful momos. Definitely worth a visit!

Good experience eating here! We really liked the veg chowmein and paneer momos. Veg Thukpa was a little bland and veg momos were okay-ish. The staff was friendly and the place was spacious to eat!

Great tasting Nepal momos and momo sauce. We had the paneer momo. I liked their veg fried rice with paneer additions. The veg chowmein was a little too tangy. Service was quick and they have a lot of vegetarian options.

You must try the Momos. They tasted good with the orange sauce. I ordered Chicken Chowmein and Chicken Fried Rice as well. I felt the vegetables were a bit undercooked, and there was less soy sauce in these dishes. Overall, the food was average, but this place has a good ambiance. It was nice and quiet. Service was also good.
