Kathmandu
MoMoCha
has
always
been
a
delightful
addition
to
Seattle
in
food
truck
form,
so
seeing
their
“coming
soon”
sign
go
up
on
a
storefront
along
Terry
Avenue
North
a
handful
of
weeks
ago
made
me
absolutely
giddy.
Himalayan
dumplings
are
a
food
everybody
should
try
at
least
once,
especially
in
Seattle:
the
perfectly-spiced
meats
and
slightly
thick
(but
still
wonderfully
chewy)
dumpling
skins
are
perfect
for
lunch
or
dinner
on
a
chilly
fall
day
in
the
Emerald
City.
I
was
very
excited
to
make
it
for
their
grand
opening,
and
I
was
happy
to
see
a
healthy
crowd
of
people
showing
up
for
lunch
on
their
first
day.
They
managed
their
line
very
well,
with
orders
coming
out
quickly
and
hot,
which
speaks
to
their
food
truck
roots
and
is
a
good
sign
that
they
will
be
successful
here
in
South
Lake
Union
during
the
regular
lunch
rush.
The
entire
staff
was
very
friendly,
welcoming,
and
organized.
While
MoMoCha’s
Himalayan
dumplings
can
be
ordered
on
their
own,
along
with
a
wide
array
of
appetizers,
soups,
and
other
entrees,
their
lunch
combinations
really
shine:
eight
dumplings
(four
each
of
chicken
and
pork,
in
the
case
of
the
meat
combination)
and
two
veggie
pakora
(I
got
three!)
are
a
very
filling
meal,
or
a
great
size
to
split
with
a
friend
alongside
another
appetizer.
I
highly
recommend
getting
a
cup
of
their
masala
tea
as
well:
it
has
the
perfect
hint
of
sweetness,
a
touch
of
cream,
and
is
beautifully
spiced
without
any
notes
of
bitterness.
I
opted
for
a
to-go
order,
as
it
was
a
pleasantly
chill
day
and
I
was
looking
forward
to
eating
outside
in
the
(public!)
plaza
in
the
middle
of
the
same
block.
I
was
able
to
choose
from
their
various
complimentary
dipping
sauces
(mild,
medium,
and
hot:
I
chose
the
latter
two).
Both
sauces
were
excellent,
but
I
also
suggest
trying
the
dumplings
on
their
own,
especially
with
some
of
the
freshly-chopped
scallions
that
come
with
the
dumplings:
the
dumplings
are
expertly-spiced
and
very
juicy
and
hearty.
After
tasting
everything
on
its
own,
I
found
myself
only
using
a
small
amount
of
the
sauce
as
a
spicy
complement
for
the
warm
and
filling
meaty
dumplings.
The
pakora
are
delicious
and
nicely
sized,
and
are
a
very
well-balanced
blend
of
spices,
vegetables,
and
chickpea
flour,
both
moist
and
crisp
without
tasting
remotely
greasy.
I
definitely
highly
recommend
visiting,
and
I
look
forward
to
returning
soon
to
try
some
of
their
other
menu
items,
especially
the
handmade
turmeric
noodles
and
garlic
chili
lunch
combo.
I
hope
to
try
dining
in
at
some
point
when
the
grand
opening
rush
calms
down,
as
they
have
a
very
nice
(but
small)
seating
area
and
stunning
art
to
admire
throughout
the
restaurant.
They
also
have
a
small
takeout
window
facing
the
sidewalk,
which
didn’t
appear
to
be
in
use
during
their
grand
opening,
but
I
expect
it
will
be
a
very
nice
option
on
nice
days
or
when
picking
up
an
order:it
will
probably
also
help
reduce
foot
traffic
through
their
dining
area
in
the
future.
