Simple spot for great Momo's on King west. Pan fried paneer Momo with sauce was really good. Jhol Momo was also really good. The waitress was super nice and offered free chai for my husband and me which was so nice. There was a homeless woman who was seated close to us but didn't bother us. I guess they didn't want to turn her away anticipating issues. Shows that they're kind but could deter some customers. Next time I'll probably do a take out because the food is good and priced very reasonable. Ambiance is simple.

This is my favourite momo place and I get a takeout atleast 3-4 times a week from here. Once you eat momos from here you can’t eat it anywhere else because all other places will taste bleh The taste is phenomenal. Also try their chilly chicken momo which is not clear in the menu it says C-momo it is sublime. My goto order is beef steamed momos they’re soooo good once you bite into it, it releases the brothy soup which is heavenly. You cannot go wrong with AMA ko Momo every person I’ve introduced this to went gaga over it

AMA KO MOMO is a hidden gem that serves delicious Momo’s in town. The cozy ambiance, friendly staff, and a simple menu make it a must-visit. Whether you opt for their classic steamed Momo’s or the chilli tossed, each bite is a flavourful delight. Highly recommended for all Momo’s lovers!

These are the freshest momos I've had! They also come with a sesame and roasted tomato sauce, pickled radish, and delicious hot sauce, which each balance each other out and compliment the momos so well. The chow mein has the best roasted chickpeas and the fresh cilantro brightened it up. Wouldn't be surprised if this spot got a Michelin recommendation eventually. Highly recommend, new fave spot for momos in parkdale!

Ive been eating regularly at Ama Ko Momo for the last 6 months and its great. Ive tried almost everything on their menu. My go-to is pan fried pork but they have lots of solid options. MOMO: Id say the beef and pork are the best. The chicken is decent, while the paneer isnt personally my cup of tea, but it might be for a vegetarian. Steamed momo: good if you want something lighter. Pan fried momo: quite nice! I enjoy that its not completely deep fried like nearby momo places up on Queen. This gives a deeper flavour without tasting heavy or oily. Jhol momo: if youre in the mood for a soup momo, its quite good. The jhol sauce is flavourful and they give you plenty. Recently I tried the C Momo (chili momo) and was pleasantly surprised. It was a great blend of spices with bell peppers and sauteed onions, giving a robust well-rounded taste. I honestly thought it would just be spicy momo, but this was a surprising hit. Most importantly, everything is prepared fresh. While I like a lot of the other momo places in the area, many of them just pull out a styrofoam container from a few feet away and hand it to you (meaning it was prepared a while ago) and you can often tell based on the texture. But at Ama Ko Momo, I can tell it is steamed or pan fried to order. SIDES: I really like their pickled radish. It has a nice flavour without being too spicy. The hot sauce is nice but a bit too strong for my liking. Meanwhile, the brown sauce (I dont know the name, oops) is creamy and delicious. Its definitely my fave. SERVICE: The service is great. There is a rotation of 3 ladies who work there and theyre all quite hospitable. Ive never had an issue. When you call ahead, they give an accurate estimate based on how busy they are. Sometimes its a longer estimate (like 20+ min) but I appreciate that it is accurate, so I know when to leave to pick it up.

Always fresh, delicious, and affordable! Staff are very friendly and kind. The hot sauce is fantastic (it s actually hot) and the addition of new menu items like chow mein and chili pork/chicken is great to see. My only request is that you add lamb/mutton momos to the menu! :)

Nice, newish little momo place that opened up on King Street away from the main Little Tibet strip on Queen West in Parkdale. Small menu but quality items. Momos have an amazing dough, soft yet firm and a different shape than what Im used to but fantastic taste. Service is excellent and friendly, and the decor is cute. My favorite new momo place, and the prices are very reasonable. Vegetarian options: Not a ton of veggie options, their veggie momos have paneer and not a vegetable filling.

Im a fan. Truth be told Im not an expert on Tibetan or Nepalese cuisine so I dont really know if the food here is good relative to the other Tibetan/Nepalese restaurants in the area. I just know I like it. Based on my limited experience with Tibetan and Nepalese cuisine heres the difference: Nepalese momos use a thinner dough and often contain more South Asian influenced ingredients like paneer and will use chutney based brown sauces. Tibetan momos use thicker dough and use ingredients more well known in Chinese cuisine such as white pepper and chili oil. Because we live in Toronto, we got plenty of both types of momos so if you want something a bit different from the more Logas Corner, try this restaurant. Underrated dish is the chili chicken for me. Perfect amount of sauciness without being overwhelmingly spicy. Owners are generous with their food. Ive yet to have ordered a drink here but everytime I visit I end up getting a free drink - usually chai but Ive gotten a free pop on more than one occasion. Vegetarian options: Paneer momo and veggie momos.

Tried the jhol momo and it was amazing! The filling was juicy and delicious, even the outside was soft.

Im so glad this Nepalese restaurant opened up at King and Dufferin! The service was excellent and the server was incredibly sweet, and even offered me free masala chai while I waited for my takeout. I tried both the steamed beef and paneer momos, which were delicious and substantial -- especially the paneer momos! Both came with free hot sauce, sesame sauce, and pickled daikon. Although I ordered takeout, the restaurant was very clean and bright and I enjoyed the Nepalese music videos. I paid in cash, which was tax free. Highly recommended addition to the neighbourhood! Welcome to Parkdale! Vegetarian options: Paneer Momos

I dropped in because this new place just opened up, and I sampled their beef momo. It wasnt anything remarkable, found the filling a bit bland. On the bright side, they offer a cash discount.
