MOMO FACTORY (Lake View) — Restaurant in Lake View Township

Momo Factory is an absolute gem and has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants in America.

The food here is nothing short of spectacular. The momos are a standout, bursting with flavors that dance on your palate. Each bite is a delightful journey, with perfectly balanced spices and a tender, juicy filling. It’s clear that a lot of care and expertise goes into crafting these little pockets of joy.

The chicken biryani is another highlight. It’s a symphony of aromatic spices, tender chicken, and perfectly cooked rice. The flavors are rich and layered, making every mouthful a pleasure. It’s one of those dishes that you keep thinking about long after your meal is over.

What truly sets Momo Factory apart is the consistency in quality. Every dish is prepared with the same level of attention and passion, ensuring that each visit is as memorable as the last. The staff are friendly and attentive, always ready to offer recommendations or accommodate special requests.

I’d rate this Nepalese restaurant 3 stars. While it’s a nice spot to try, it has some drawbacks. The listed price range of $10–$20 is misleading—it’s definitely closer to $30 per person. For a place that looks more casual, it feels a bit overpriced, especially for lunch.

That said, the food does shine in parts. The dumplings (momos) were absolutely divine! We tried both the pork and chicken steamed varieties, and they were fantastic—flavorful, tender, and definitely recommended. The wild spicy lamb was good as well. Surprisingly, the butter chicken masala stood out the most, but not for the right reasons—it was unexpectedly sweet. I’ve tried butter chicken at many places, and this was my first time experiencing a sweet version. Perhaps it’s a Nepalese twist, but it wasn’t quite what I was expecting.

One other thing to note: water isn’t provided, so we had to purchase bottled water, which added to the cost.

All in all, it’s worth checking out once, but there are plenty of other places I’d explore...

I’ve been here on a number of occasions. It is a place serving flavourful nepalese food of great quality and affordable. A quick lunch - take a combo bowl of chicken curry and momos for 11$. It has plenty of meat ( I have removed the momos from the top of one of the pictures so that you can see there is half bowl of just meat). The jhol chicken are some dumplings in gravy, very tasty, the gravy is mild and not heavy. The momos are full of meat and always freshly cooked. The bok choy lamb is also delicious, not spicy and comes in a big bowl with gravy and a separate bowl of rice. Today I tried the lamb bowl and it is wow. The curry from the combo bows seemed different from the bok choy one and I like it even more. I chose noodles instead of rice and could definitely see that they were freshly cooked and unlike intant ramen noodles these were chewy and deliciously cooked...
