Zhego NYC — Restaurant in New York

Just come here.

You know you've never had Bhutanese food before. You know you don't even know where Bhutan is. So stop pretending to consider, get on that 7 train, and come here. The trek only seems daunting because you don't know how hard actual Bhutan is to get to (seriously, look it up...it's mission impossible).

Get everything. If you can't, get these:

Ema Datsi: The national dish of Bhutan. Crunchy peppers breaded in cheese. How can you not?

Cheese Momo: Dumplings got a glow up, and now they come with dairy. Yes, please.

Sikam Paa: If you like thinly sliced pork belly and daikon soaked in delicious chili sauces, you've found your dish here.

Shakam Shukam Datsi: Like eating chunky beef jerky stir-fried in the best white chili sauce ever. What's white chili, precious? Come here and find out.

Goep Paa: I assume that if you've come this far for this cuisine, beef tripe is not going to daunt you. Good. You've leveled up to this dish and can enjoy the most kiu kiu (chewy-tender) tripe this side of dim sum.

Jangbuli: Maybe the one miss, for me. Stir-fried hand-pulled noodles in various seasonings. Great texture, not enough flavor. Bland, compared to its companions.

Oh yeah, they serve butter tea here--so if you've ever wondered what yak milk tastes like hot (it keeps me up most nights), you can enjoy a cup here for $3.

Small indoor seating, but now that it's warm times, they have several tables outside for parties of 2-4 that can be rearranged for...

This is a Bhutanese restaurant… But if you’re familiar with Tibetan, and or Nepalese cuisine… this restaurant, and its food items will be familiar… I always like to have the hot butter drink or butter tea…. Here it was a little too salty for me… But I think it’s because of the butter or maybe the milk… I understand that it’s very expensive to use yak milk… So the substitute would be generally any milk… But I don’t know if that had an impact with the taste… I love the condiment azay… it can be very spicy similar to Mexican tomatillo. On the menu there are several creamy sauces try them they’re so good… And of course the national dish Emadasi (spelling?). I love any dish that contains buckwheat noodles… And here they have it with egg and onions… And peppercorn… They have preserved beef and pork stirfried… They have green beans and red chili with tomato… And they have many sweet items… My favorite is the Doma poni (spelling?). It’s betel nut. The prices are very competitive… The dishes are between $7 ti $17 . The place is small… And I think there’s maybe one or two servers so be patient… But remember good things come to...

A must try hole in the wall with delicious and authentic Bhutanese food! Everything was very flavorful and pleasantly spicy. We enjoyed the ema dasi (green chilies with cheese, a national dish), sikam shukam datsi (air dried pork cooked in white chili, cheese, tomato, onion scallion), phaksa bayzum (tender pork belly stir fried with tomato, garlic, chili powder, red chili), norsha paa (beef stir fry with potato, ginger, tomato, onion), the beef momo (8 come in a serving, with two sauces to dip in), and the butter tea. All dinner options come with red rice, and some cheesy soup. There is a large vegetarian menu and many delicious options for everyone. These are some of the best momos I’ve had in Queens, and I could eat an entire bowl of the momos, sikam shukam datsi or phaksa bayzum and lick the plate. I can not decide what my favorite thing was, everything was so yummy. The prices were VERY reasonable like 8 momos for 10, and most...
