Our story
It started with one small steamer and a recipe from home.
In 2013 our family opened a twelve-seat counter with a single bamboo steamer, a borrowed wok and a momo recipe carried from a kitchen in Pokhara. We could not afford a sign, so people found us by the smell of the achar.
Thirteen years later the steamers are bigger and there are three dining rooms, but almost nothing else has changed. We still make every wrapper by hand. We still simmer the jhol broth for four hours. And we still believe a plate of momos should feel like someone cooked for you, not at you.

Why guests keep coming back
Good food is simple. Doing it right every day is the hard part.
We are not trying to reinvent the momo. We are trying to make the best one you have had this year, and then make it exactly the same way tomorrow.

Loved by Our Neighbors
Rated 4.8 out of 5 across more than 2,400 demo reviews.
“I have eaten a lot of dumplings in this city and the jhol momos at Food House are in a league of their own. That broth is worth the trip alone. We now come every other Friday.”
Marissa Whitfield
“Took my parents here for their anniversary and the team could not have been kinder. Food came out fast, hot and beautifully plated. The sesame honey chicken disappeared in minutes.”
Daniel Ortega
“Finally a place where the vegetarian menu is not an afterthought. The paneer momos and the crispy cauliflower are genuinely excellent, not just “good for veggie.””
