Delicious Momo in New Jersey… no frills, nothing fancy about it… just really great dumplings made fresh-to-order!
I’ve been craving Momo but have always been discouraged to dish big money at a place in NYC, the city that “has it all.” I was very surprised I had never stepped foot in this place that holds one of the many culinary treasures of South Asia.
To be quite honest, this is the first time I’ve ever had Momo! I’ve been wanting to try out Momo since I saw it’s similarity to other dumplings I already eat, such as Soup Dumplings (小籠包.) I’m happy this was my first!
Probably one of the best decorated storefronts within the food court of South Asian delights, Momo Kingg’s inviting design and unblocked view of the action of making these wonderful dumplings that make me want to return in the case of a craving for dumplings.

I would definitely visit them again for their...
Read more10/3 Monday night, ordered 4-5 dishes for dine in. We were told it would be about 20-25 mins. We didn't get our food for over an hour. One dish the momos, were cold on the inside, another dish we asked for vegetarian and were given chicken. Another couple who also dined in had momos that were also frozen on the inside.
Because of the wait, poor service, and subpar food we asked the workers for a $5 discount off our bill. At first they agreed, but when they charged us, we got charged the full amount. When asked why, they reversed course and said we can't give you a discount. They effectively lied to us.
To the owner: hire more staff, they're clearly overworked and can't fill orders in a timely manner. Also advise employees on proper customer service and how to handle...
