    Excellent momos when eaten fresh… not so great if they have been sitting a while or for takeaway as the tops harden. Deliciously spiced just right. I devoured these! I can’t wait to go back for more. They do provide a tangy tomato sauce on the side but I thought the momos tasted great by itself . the way the momos are are made can leave the top of them a bit chewier than the body which I didn’t mind but (thankfully)my gf did…more for me! We also ordered the veg noodles . This was on the spicer side with a rather smokey flavour which I also enjoyed.

    Momo Station has been a favorite dining spot for my family since 2010 and it never fails to deliver a warm and inviting experience. The staff's exceptional friendliness always makes us feel incredibly welcome. Over the years, the momos, chowmein, and choila have consistently been outstanding, and they remain my family’s top choices. I highly recommend Momo Station for anyone looking for delicious Nepalese cuisine served with a side of genuine hospitality.

    Excellent. Has been my Go-to place for Milo’s over the past 12 years. Great to see that they have a better location now from their old Tivoli arcade; where they started off from. Always yummy food and non pretentious.. compared to a few new ones around the corner. Thanks

    Great tasting with momos which were full of flavour and nicely pan fried. The curry chicken was also very tasty and generous in portion size! Highly recommend :)

    I understand that people working there don't have a cooking background. It was like foreign students cooking at home style food also the environment looks very very poor. I ordered fried noodles with chicken, I understand that the chichen was already chopped long time ago and left in trays, it wasn't properly stir fried also it was dry like overcooked, not tender at all. I believe that for that very poor service, $13 for stir fry noodles is a theft!

    i came back to momo station after few years just to eat "choila" because previously the taste was very good. but this time the taste was not that good. i was very disappointed. the taste wasn't great, it was nothing like "Choila". The kitchen team should think about how to give authentic taste to the customer.

    Delicious. First time trying the 10-piece steamed pork which seems alright for a light lunch. Will return to try more options!

    We struggled initially to find this place, its inside the building. Chicken momos were great while chomwin was a little dry Overall ok experience

  • 1/5 Stefany R. 8 months ago on Google • 47 reviews
    This small container cost $13. It is supposed to be the main dish. The menu says it comes with salad (green salad) and the salad is just a couple of raw onions (attached pic). The food is too fried, oily, and hard to eat, even I do not know which part of the chicken is this, looks like the bad part of the chicken. Never again in this place.

    One of the best street style chowmein I've had in a long time. The panipuri was good too and the vegetarian momos were soft and well-cooked. The stuffing could have been a bit spicy.

    Chicken momo is the best compare with others nepalese restaurant, i also love their broth which is coming with steam momo

  • 4/5 SJ G. 6 months ago on Google • 10 reviews
    Wow. First time trying Nepalese food and now I feel silly it's taken me this long. Flavours I've never experienced before we were just walking past and stopped for lunch. I will be back for dinner one night. The atmosphere is comfortable and the staff are very friendly with good advice for the newcomer. How come this place isn't busier?...secret good spot until everyone else catches on...

    highly recommended hidden gem for nepalese food! well-priced, generous portions, friendly staff, and clean environment. the pan-fried momos were especially yummy.

  • 4/5 Viraj G. 11 months ago on Google • 8 reviews
    Good place to try out good Nepalese food. I had jhol momo and rice wine. Sorry forgot the name of the wine but it was really good and reminded me of "LUMDI" Indian rice wine which is made in manali. But a good place, situated in the center of the city.

    Politeness and communication is not good, whoever staying at counter. Which make us disappoint even your food is good. we feel we just wasting our money. One suggestion for your team if your customer speaking Nepali language then you should respond on Nepali language, that doesn’t mean other people couldn’t speak English.

    Really good momos. Must try for all momo lovers. Please staff and good service. I loved the soup that came with the dish. Will come back again.

    Very tasty food and good service we really like it! We ordered thalii, noodles, soup momo everything is awesome . Good quantity of food also. Thank you.

    Took my boss who is a Malaysian guy, he wasnt sure about the nepalese food and flavors about this place. He has tried it somewhere before and had a bad experience. But I was sure enough that this place will surprise him, he loved everything we had ordered along with the Sherpas Lager. Their Veg chowmein is my fav, it has that distinct smoky flavor that makes me go there all the time. Keep up the good work.

    The food at the same table ordered same dish for three people comes out all three different times. The wait time is Extremely long. Food is alright but very poor service. It’s like you watch your friends eat while you wait for the food that you ordered together. I have had multiple experience that they forgot the order that I paid for after waiting like 30 minutes. Staff don’t seem to care about it. Not very happy with the service.

  • 3/5 Mahesh S. 7 months ago on Google
    We dined in. The place was hard to find. Food was good. We ordered steam chicken momo, chicken chowmin and chilly fried chicken momo. I liked chowmin a lot but my friend liked momo more. Chilly fried chicken momo was not fried enough. But mostly we found that the menu and price shown in Google is different now. Overall good food for good money but please update the menu in Google.

    Dull experience. First, missed out an item from dish, no apologies when mentioned about the missing item. Later got the actual ordered item but guess what it came with plastic in it. Good thing that server offered replacement for the dish which i denied but no apologies were offered on that. I asked for refund glad they did refunded but still nothing for acknowledgment of mistake. Sad to see the face. Thanks for such welcoming hospitality 😅

  • 4/5 Adithya K. 6 months ago on Google
    I would rate it 4.5, Nepalese cuisine but close to Indian and this would be the best Indian chat food I have had in a while. And it doesn't cost 10 times higher than what it should be.

  • 1/5 Hinata S. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the worst restaurants i have ever been in and not even stretching. Choila was tasteless so was every food like momo. One of the worst jhol momo i have ever had in my life. Pani puri alu was literally one spoon serving for one plate and every food lacked salt. Momo was not cooked properly the meat tasted weird. First Nepalese restaurant i went in Melbourne and was so disappointed. Compared to sydney even 0 star is too much for them

  • 5/5 q q. 1 year ago on Google
    Oh my god. Stop. This is sooooo goood. 11/10. I tried panipuri and chicken steam Momo for the first time.AMAZING. Panipuri: crispy flavorful addicted I can’t stop eating. Momo: soft juicy well-cooked I love the tomato sauce

  • 5/5 Sayyam S. 1 year ago on Google
    Authentic Nepalese Momos! Being an indian i miss the Nepalese momos thats one of everyone’s favourite street food in North India. I have had them at many different restaurants in Melbourne but they have the best in town served with chicken bone broth and chutneys. I tried their PaniPuri and Chow Mein were 10/10 will definitely visit again. Ps- forgot to click a picture of Momos as they were too mouth watering and can’t resist to eat em.

  • 5/5 trishal s. 1 year ago on Google
    I tried their momos and yes, there were what I was craving for. Soft, properly cooked and the sauce 😋 perfectly made.

  • 5/5 Jasmine G. 1 year ago on Google
    My favourite go to for Nepali food, I recommend the Buffalo ChowMein and Pani Puri. It’s cheap and good quality and friendly staff.
