Spicy Tibet

The food is non tradition– Tibet /​Asian — down to earth. Just a few tables… Food is fresh … A rated and the food noves

Amazing! The food is spectacular! Packed with people. I had to wait when I got there. It looked busy! (So I went in the summer… could you tell?) I wish I could tell you what I was eating. My friend and I walked in and ordered pretty much half the menu. The menu is great by the way. It has photographs and names of things which helps, since I’m not that familiar with Tibetan food (even though it is tasty!) We did order different things including noodles and rice. The level of spice is real… it gets spicy. I got all the momos (beef, pork, C). It was a great experience. One drawback but not worth a star was that I didn’t see any air conditioning, so get ready to sweat.

Oh-​em-​gee! This place has some legit Tibetan food. The feels is real too! The tibetan tea is SALTY! very unexpected. Tastes like a savory broth. I liked it, but was pretty shocked when I had my first sip. It felt weird drinking it like tea but when it actually tasted like broth. I think its made of salty butter. Also, do not ask them for sugar to add in your tea. I think they get offended when you do that. Oops. The taste got better as you drink it. The chilly-​momo was amazing! Also got shogo-​sip-​sip! Pretty good. Would visit again for C-​momo though!

It was okay
Didn’t really love it
Love the fact that they have C MOmos, but they put ketchup, it’s more sweeter than spicy
I would still recommend Lhasa Fast food for great Tibetan food

I LOVE LOVE Love it here. I loved it so much I went twice in one week. Laid back, good service, and the food was mega great. It’s nothing more than a fast food joint and I’m fairly new when it comes to Tibetan food but it’s been by far the best tasting out of the four places I’ve tried between sunnyside and Jackson heights.

Amazing food here. I went for the first time tonight and was blown away by the flavors in this small, no frills place. Highly recommend. Service can be a little slow and place could be a little cleaner but the food makes up for it. Highly recommend for this particular cuisine.

I have tried lots of dumpling places around the town but nobody beats Spicy Tibet.
Chilly Chicken and chicken pan fried noodles are so
is small for dining in but for good and tasty meal, I don’t mind waiting at all
If you love Tibatan or Nepalese food this is the place !!
A+++++

Not going here anymore. Not only we waited for our turn then they gave the table to their friends. When I asked they said too bad. Wow !!!

So tasty. I always get the chili pork with a steamed bun (try it instead of rice!!!). Satisfying portions, and the flavor and spice is so good. I am obsessed with fatty pork slices and they are quite generous with the meat-​to-​vegetable ratio in this dish. I’ve also gotten sliced spicy potatos, those are exactly what they sound like, and the portion is massive with that one too… I’m Sichuan-​Chinese so I’m constantly craving these spices and flavors, and this place always hits the spot for me. I also recommend the laphing as an appetizer if you’re into spicy food.
I tried my first cup of butter tea here too in the winter. Definitely an interesting beverage, think of it almost like a salty, savory soup (it’s NOT a soup, but I think the concept of a hot beverage not being sweet is a little foreign to the palette).
Lately I see that they’ve been making mango lassi. I got one last night and it was delicious!
Open reasonably late, right by the subway so I can grab takeout on the way home from work, and I love that they take credit card, huge plus in Queens where tons of great restaurants only accept cash.

Whenever I see this restaurant it is pretty full which is a good sign. As other reviewers have mentioned the sizzling momos are to die for. The skin is a perfect thickness (thicker than Chinese dumplings) with well seasoned meat and covered in a bright, spicy red sauce that is practically as good as the momos themselves. I tasted spicy, savory and tangy. I also had a beef noodle soup dish. I was sadly less impressed. The soup and meat just lacked seasoning.

My favorite Tibetan restaurant so far love their c momo, chicken chili and laphing that’s my regular order.

Bland food, terrible service. Waitress was hard to track down to ask a question. Food took forever to come… never coming back. Waste of money.

Wow, I’m so happy to have discovered this place for myself. When you’re in the mood for a delicious and filling bowl of soup on a cold day, this is your place!
I had the Mo Fung (I think that’s what it was called) and it was a bowl of soup with beef momo dumplings and some vegetables. It was a large bowl of soup (too much for me to finish) and it was DELICIOUS!!!
I also had a side order of the bread, which is the special tibetan (?) bread that you can only find at tibetan restaurants.
Worth the trip from Brooklyn, Manhattan or wherever!
Also, it’s a fine and good place to go by yourself.

Spicy Tibet is tiny and new and within the bustle of the 74 St Station on Roosevelt Avenue. It has a very basic décor and layout, but the service is really friendly and quick and the food is terrific — on a par or a step above Jackson Heights’s other Himalayan/​Nepalese spots. The veggie momos are complemented by a spicier, more flavorful red sauce than what I’m used to (and I love it). Another vegetarian highlight is the Manchurian curry dish. We stuffed ourselves silly here, and there were also a good number of stunned, happy diners in the room. I think this spot is going to be here a while.

This family owned place was recommened to me by a lovely Tibetan lady that works at Lotus Nails down the street. She even called her daughter to make sure she got the name right for me and recommended dishes. All this even though she knew that I was in town for a few days and wouldn’t be back for a while if ever. That’s NYC hospitality. It’s the real deal.
We ordered beef sukuti, C momos (in the chili sauce), beef noodle soup and goat thali. Total before well-​deserved 20% tip was $ 33. The food was amazing, made to order and full of flavor. My MN native husband was equally depressed that he was flying back to bland food country the next morning.
The service was perfect: honest when I asked if I ordered too much and unobtrusive. Our water cups were never empty but we didn’t feel suffocated. None of that fake, hyper, «hi my name is Tiffany/​Amber/​Bill Bob/​blah blah, how are you? oh really? Wow! By the way, here’s my upsell schtick. Buy these crappy specials.»
These amazing mom and pop places are rare. I wish them lots of success and I hope they are still around when I visit and finally move back.

Not the best Tibetan in this area but still very good. I had beef chili here and found it quite tasty. The meat was not soft but well seasoned. Hope to try their noodles next time.

This place was recommended to me by my uncle. When i came to know the owners are the same as the one across the street i wasn’t really expecting much as i never liked the food there in Friend’s corner. But I must say the food here is much better. I have tried almost everything from their menu be it laphing, dhopa khatsa, beef chilli, pork chilli, sha bhagle etc but the «MUST TRY» here is the ALOO DUM, when I say must try is because I am a meat lover but they have the best aloo dum, a delicacy that reminds me of my hometown and my mom & of course try it with the timog or any bread. I am bit disappointed on the noodle soup dishes, cause everytime I ordered one I didn’t find it as good as their other dishes and to my surprise there was hair in my thukpa the other day. But this is not gonna stop me from going there. I guess I should stop ordering the noodle dishes!!! Or if they would take this review to consideration and make some changes than this place definitely deserve a 5 stars.

The name does not disappoint. I encountered a barrage of complex and unpredictable spices here, starting with the la phing (mung bean jelly) and continuing with the pork chilly. I opted for bread instead of rice and got one more chance at spicyness with the orange-​colored sauce. I’m not sure what it’s supposed to go with so I added a little to everything. There’s another bottle of a yellow item that looks like mustard but isn’t (it was a bit sweet but I have no idea what is.)

The owners of Friends Corner Café, which is another Tibetan restaurant across the street, just opened up a second branch, a space that was previous occupied by a run of the mill pizzeria. While the menu includes all the Tibetan ‘must haves’, such as momos and noodle soups, I am also surprised by dishes arching towards Indian-​Chinese spices, (such as Manchurian) and American palate (what’s chop suey doing on the menu??) Though when I was there, I was glad to find the spartan dining room mainly populated by Tibetans, though when the news break out, I’m sure other ethnic groups would be embracing this restaurant, too.
For a special Tibetan treat, I would suggest the Sha Bhaklev, traditional Tibetan beef or chicken patties that I saw on almost every table. The golden fried disks are definitely meant to be shared, as more than one or two would suppressed an appetite for other goods. With the imminent polar vortex, fresh noodle soup (thug) would be a rewarding meal to layer one’s inner organs. Vegetarians are also attended too with various mixed vegetables and tofu dishes cooked in a blend of Himalayan spices. As for a choice of carb (if you’re not going low-​carb), choose the tingmo (steamed bun) over the rice since you could get rice anywhere else.
As it’s a new joint, service was friendly and prompt. Buttered tea is almost ‘self-​served’, but it’s such a heavy and dense beverage (I would compare to eggnog, so it’s perfect for the holiday season now), one mug is sufficient.
It’s a small space, but because of it, when it’s a full house, it’s a convivial atmosphere. What’s a better way to escape from the bitter wintry wind off Roosevelt Avenue and fill up one’s stomach with warming, home cooked meal in realtime? Best of all, you’re supporting a small local business, kind of sticking a middle finger towards all the greedy real estates that are swallowing up valuable properties and spitting out local businesses.
