Yes, it's in a gas station. No, it's not what you'd typically expect. But this establishment defies all stereotypes. It's a testament to the fact that true culinary excellence and outstanding hospitality can be found in the most unexpected places. And the price? Absolutely fair for the quality, quantity, and overall wonderful experience you receive.

We made an hour-long drive, and let me tell you, we would do it again in a heartbeat. If you're looking for truly exceptional dumplings, a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and a dining experience that will leave a lasting smile on your face, then look no further. I cannot recommend this place...

There's a certain magic to a plate of momo. These delicate dumplings, originating from Nepal have found the way into hearts (and stomachs) for good reason. My experience with this Nepali momo was a testament to their enduring appeal. The dough was Perfectly thin, yet sturdy enough to hold the flavorful filling without bursting. The texture was delightful, a subtle chewiness that complemented the soft interior. The filling, in my case, was a classic chicken momo. It was a symphony of savory notes: minced chicken, fragrant ginger, a hint of garlic, and perhaps a whisper of cilantro. The balance was impeccable. No single ingredient overpowered the others, creating a harmonious and utterly satisfying bite. The achar I sampled was a vibrant, tangy tomato-based chutney. It had a pleasant kick, a gentle warmth that lingered on the palate, perfectly cutting through the richness of the momo. The combination of the warm, savory dumplings and the bright, spicy achar was simply divine. What truly elevated the experience was the feeling of warmth and comfort. Momo is more than just food; it's a culinary hug. Each bite felt like a connection to a rich cultural heritage, a testament to the simple pleasures of life. Whether you're a seasoned momo enthusiast or a curious newcomer, I highly recommend seeking out a plate of these delightful dumplings. Overall: Dough: Excellent, thin and chewy. Filling: Flavorful, moist, and well-balanced. Achar: Tangy, spicy, and perfectly complementary. Experience: Warm, comforting, and highly satisfying. Verdict: A must-try for...

I’ve been coming for these gas station momos for years now. The owner is such a down to earth guy.

You’re going to get some of the most authentic momos in NOVA here. It’s true when they say the hole in the wall places are the true gems, and honestly after the recent renovations I wouldn’t even really call it a hole in the wall.

I’m a HUGE chili chicken momo fan, I’ve driven 2.5 hours to Harrisburg just to try momos. So trust me when I say I’ve tried just about every chicken chili momo spot in the nova area (Alexandria’s Royal Nepal, Momo spot inside Lotte, Tandoori Fairfax, list goes on). This place consistently delivers 9/10 times. The reason why this is one of my go to spots is because their chili chicken momos are authentic and unique. Usually C momo is made with ketchup and chili sauce (from the bottle) sautéed in peppers and onions. However, this spot seems to make their C momo sauce from scratch with a blend of spices that outshines all the other momo spots that in my experience do the usual chili ketchup bottle blend.

He also offers gluten free momo and other specialities. I only come here for the C momo so that’s the only review I can offer.

If you are a buldak noodle fan, pani puri with extra mirchi, you need mirchi powder on your potato chips and are constantly craving the spiciest food then there C momo will hit the spot for you.

I always ask for my C momo to be extra spicy. They always deliver.

Happy to see the owner get the recognition...
