World Famous Momo

Small family owned restaurant with maybe 4 tables available. Quick service and friendly staff. They answered my questions and even showed me some of the products they used to ensure no animal products. I ordered a veggie samosa and veggie Momo's. Flavor was amazing!! Definitely getting additional samosas next time. I also thought the Momo's had meat in them and after talking with the restaurant, they explained veggie Momo's have a soy protein that looks like meat, ensuring me that the veggie option is stored separately to be sure. I will be back!

Really good quality food, service, and price! There's a combo that gives you one of each, which is perfect.Best mango drink I've ever had, everyone enjoyed it.Feels definitely like a hole in the wall.

This is a little restaurant with about 15 or so seats at 3 tables. What they make are momos: steamed or fried dumplings with a chicken curry filling (they also do a veg version). As a first time visitor to the store, I got a complete tour of the menu, which is happily short and uncomplicated. The most help was getting all the food items explained very well. I got the combo, which included 5 momo (steamed), 1 meat-filled samosa, a bara, which is a fried bread make of lentils, spring onions, and spices. There were 2 dipping sauces available: harisa (hot hot hot!) and a sweet sesame sauce I don't recall the name of. When I ordered he asked which i wanted. I chose the harissa. When he brought my order, he brought the other sauce, too. And I was so glad he did!This little hole-in-the-wall place doesn't have much in the way of ambience, but it has charm, great food, and very friendly staff. I think most people get take away rather than dining in. I rather enjoyed sitting there, just enjoying the food and the heat from the sun through the windows and the spices. So happy I tried it. I will be a frequent visitor for sure!

The Steamed Chicken Momo were great. It's a cool little place that mostly does take out, I've never seen anyone eat inside, but you could be the first!

Three stars isn't a bad review in my book. It means a place is perfectly fine and worth visiting. With that out of the way, World Famous Momo is a small spot in South St. Paul serving a variety of Nepalese snacks.The menu is small and simple.Unfortunately, the vegetable momo is not vegan as the kindly owners mentioned the interior filling uses butter.But the samosa ($2.75 for one) is vegan by default and tasted pretty good. It was fresh and hand-made. My only small gripe is that they put raisins in it, which adds unwanted sweetness and the unwanted texture of raisins.The bara ($2 for one) is a a savory fried Nepalese lentil pancake and also vegan by default. I liked it a lot. This is the type of snack you want with a cold beer on a hot day.If World Famous Momo had a vegan momo, I'd be back all the time. As it stands, it's a nice spot off-the-beaten-track in a multicultural enclave of the Twin Cities.

My friends and I ended up in a part of town were very unfamiliar with in west St. Paul on a Sunday night. Most places were either closing wnd we wanted something quick to take to go. We were hungry and trying to narrow down where to eat and we drove past the sign that said world famous momo. I had eaten momos before and loved them and it didn't take much to convince the car full of hungry people to stop in. Most of the restaurants on the street looked like small hole in the wall type places. When we entered an older man greeted us and was very friendly. He walked us through the menu and I had the combo. It was a great deal got to try the bara, momos, a mango lassi, and a samosa. The sauces that came with were nice like a green minty sauce and the second maybe more of a tamarind. We were the only ones in and I think they were going to close shortly after we left. I enjoyed the momos and samosa had a little kick to it.The couple running the place was so sweet! So glad they were open before we resorted to fast food for dinner

Really excited to eat here.. well I mean try the food. The tables were incredibly dirty and I spent time cleaning the table I was at. I don't know when the last time they wiped their tables were. As the different stains were on the plastic table top and were incredibly difficult to removThis makes me a hit nervous about- if they wash their machines, blender, utensils etc. How clean is this place? I will let the health inspector figure that one out but even with the food, I probably would never eat here again even though this is my favorite type of food. The guy at the counter was really friendly. I personally liked the steamed chicken dumplings the most.

Was really scared to try out this place at first but.. it's super yummy!! Very different flavor! And when they say their sauce is spicy, ITS SPICY! But good of course. The owners here are super sweet and friendly! Definitely help support their business!

Dumplings are amazing. Samosa flavorful. Paratha with potato and pea filling (quesadilla like). Able to enjoy while on the road.

The food was amazing!! It was such a cute little place and the owners were very welcoming!! Anyone looking for something unique and delicious should try out this hidden gem!!
