Monks Momo — Restaurant in Austin

Me and a friend showed up from out of town to Austin for an event, and found Monk's Momo opened at 6. We showed up to the truck lot, where maybe 6 trucks were parked and the only one opened already was Monks, so points for punctuality on the owner's part! we had one of each momo, and they were all incredibly flavorful and fresh, especially the chilli momo! I was extra impressed by the texture of the fried ones. The owner was very friendly and humble. At about $10 per plate of dumplings, the portions were very reasonable, though not large. Me and my friend shared 3 plates and were quite satisfied. If we stop in Austin's downtown again, we are sure...

Best momos I’ve had outside Asia. The beef steamed momos are the best. This guy is always busy and it usually takes somewhere between 20-40 minutes to get your order when that happens so be prepared to wait. Order plenty in to-go boxes and then walk over to half step next door and grab yourself a ginger Paloma. This is really the perfect combination. If you don’t eat beef and prefer chicken then try the fried chicken momos. This may be a Nepali food truck but it takes me back to the markets of New Delhi every time I go there.

The guy seriously takes a lot of time so order plenty the first round - I would recommend one plate per...

This spot is seriously so amazing. The food was so well spiced and flavorful. We put in our order and the woman who took it was so sweet and friendly. When we got the food everyone in my group was taken back because the food was so good. It’s comforting, warm and flavorful. I suggest trying everything on the menu. We got the Jhol momo and the chili momo. The chili momo was the perfect amount of spice that didn’t burn your mouth for too long. Everything was so well balanced. We loved the food so much we put in a second order. I definitely recommend coming here if you’re visiting Austin. I’ll be coming back here the next time...
