Description

This tiny, weathered neighborhood joint is a tight squeeze, featuring just a handful of indoor tables and a sidewalk terrace. While the space is noisy and crowded, the kitchen turns out punchy specialties like Chili Dofu loaded with tomatoes and bell peppers and Nepalese-style tsel momos served with a super spicy chutney. Some standard noodle dishes can lean bland, but the draw lies in the busy, local atmosphere and quick-serving comfort plates.
