Momo Hub in Santa Clara

LOVED the vegetable and paneer momos! Owner makes everything from scratch and was working, unassisted, when we came. Food was delicious and fresh. Only didn’t give 5 stars for dining area lack luster and food took a while since he was the only one working. However, I would still say it was worth the wait and intend on returning based on the quality. Plenty of vegetarian options too 😸 the banana leaf bowels were also a nice echo friendly touch. Would recommend.

If youre looking for a nice late-night spot to grab a meal, I would definitely recommend. However, there are a few places that I feel the Momo Hub could improve on.We ordered the Vegetable Manchurian, Vegetable Momo, Chicken Chowmein, and Rasgula. To start, the Vegetable Manchurian was pretty good, it was plenty flavorful and had a good portion size. There was a little bit less gravy than we expected, but thats why this actually ended up being an excellent appetizer. Moving on, the Vegetable Momo was good, not too spicy and we enjoyed it. Now, the Chicken Chowmein was where we found a few issues. The noodles and veggies were tasty, but we all found the chicken to be inedible-it was rubbery and overcooked. Id recommend getting the veggie counterpart of the noodles instead. Id also have to mention that the dishes were on the spicier side. We had ordered non-spice for most of them, but they ended up being considerably spicy. I felt that they could have toned the spice down a notch, but they were still good. As for the service, it was great. The server was kind, and checked on us to make sure our meal was enjoyable. The restaurant itself is pretty plain-looking, given that it is in a strip mall, but the inside is decent. There are some areas where you can see they put some effort into making look nice, and some not so much, but it is clean and provides ample seating.Overall, I would recommend this restaurant! It does have its ups and downs, but it was a great Indo-Chinese place if youre ever in the area.

Disappointed by this visit. I ordered veg chilli momo. It was way more salty. Service has degraded, food taste changes every time. Hope they can be consistent with the good taste they once used to have.

I had jhol momo, chowmein and thukkpa. All of them were amazing. They have different sauces. Definitely recommend their foods, you will love it. Less stars because Restaurant is not very clean and atmosphere is not much welcoming. So I preferred to takeout.Update on atmosphere: they have cleaned and rearranged restaurant and now much better to dine in.

TLDR: good food, nice crew, and terrible service. Id give 4 stars if the place was clean but almost everywhere you touch in this place is dirty. Tables and chairs were not cleaned. Our foods came with delay and at different times! So it is not a good place to go if the group is not sharing the food. Sauce pans were empty and were not refilled. Momos are fresh and delicious. I tried both chilli and regular chicken momos and they were both awesome (tbh chicken momos were hotter than chilli momo). Chatpatey was bad. It was literally uncooked 25c noodles going directly from the pack to the dish! I will not go back here anytime soon.

Tried spicy chicken sausage, sadheko momo, chicken chilly and kheer momo. I gotta say that all the food tasted super authentic and amazing. My best was kheer momo, I had never tried it before and just loved it the first time. So, I recommend not to miss it.

Amazing food. We tried chicken momo, chaat momo, chicken Chilli, sausage and kheer momo and all of them were just wow. We were welcomed with free soup which was fabulous in this dec weather. Sausage in nepalese style is to die for. Brought back all childhood memories of Nepal. Also amazing invention of kheer Momo. Hats off to the chief, he created a new player in the momo game 😀

Based on our experience, it’s a 3.5/5!!!This place somehow gave me of Nepali typical Nepali restaurant vibes at first but didn’t really convinced me to go back!!Too many hype on social media, the problem is people tend to expect more than what they offer. I guess that happened to us as well. Expected way more than what we were offered.Okay let’s talk about the food; we tried sausage that comes with the house Nepali style sauce. That was pretty good.Momos; steamed/fried/C-momo, as a Nepali I know a lot about the taste of Nepali momos but momo at this place still lacks something. I mean I have had much better momos in other places in Bay Area. But for a non Nepali people this is not bad at all.Panipuri: it was pretty good.Chana Chapate: it was looking interesting or more like unique but the taste wasn’t that good.Interior decoration is not bad and the things they put up on their walls are great. Loved their sense of putting Nepali and American flags, money and Buddha’s paintings. Great choices. But felt like those things are not put together by a professional interior designer/decorator. Could have been placed much better. The overall interior space is pretty small. Oh but we were informed that they have a different hall on the adjacent building/room.They have a small Carom board in the dinning area; very engaging for the customer. But I felt like the space they have in their isn’t really enough for the games. It would be great if they had a small play room or somehow, even a separation from dining area.Service was great; seemed like one guy was cooking and serving and another to help prep things. Friendly! No separate server and chefs etc. It felt great to support family owned businesses.The bathroom: Oh myan! The washing basin was so dirty, did not really want to use it. It might be because we reached there around 11:30PM and probably they will clean at the end of the shift at 1 AM but yeah, we didn’t expect a dirty bathroom. It seemed like it hasn’t been cleaned for a couple of days. I took a picture but don’t want to put up here.

I went to check this place out during its grand opening. It was buzzing and very lively. We managed to find a table relatively quickly, the service was very good. The owner came over introduced himself to everybody. We found the service very quick and polite. We ordered momo, sausage, panipuri. It was very delicious, prepared in authentic Nepali tradition. There was a good variety of choices for the sauce to go along with momos. We enjoyed both spicy and mild flavors. I highly recommend this place if you want to experience authentic Nepali cuisine.

Vegetarian Wai Wai Momos were the best I had in bay area. Will be coming back to try other dishes.
