Delicious! Friendly wait staff. Loved the curry, not like any curry I’ve had, more turmeric and less cumin I’d guess. Food seemed very fresh. Nice music. Will be back for sure!

Really enjoyed our meal last night, and what a wonderful concept for a restaurant — Tibet, Japan and India. Where else can you enjoy sake with a Tibetan curry? A highlight was definitely the appetizers — stuffed Japaleno and the mushroom cake. Divine! (To the reviewer who didn’t enjoy his experience, Tibetan curries are quite different from Indian curries) Issues: our curry beef was a little chewy, the restaurant had cold air running through it despite being cold outside, and the music was a very strange distracting mix. Overall, I would definitely go again for the wonderful Japanese-​inspired fusion foods.

A treat to enjoy such wonderful tasting Tibetan food. The Momo’s for appetizers are very good. Ask for extra sauce, as it is tasty as can be.
The sushi was very good, and the fried chili tofu was a riot for the tastebuds.
It is a wonderful opportunity to try new foods and flavors.
As the owners about their foundation as well. — They are doing good work in other ways besides making available such good tasting food.

Good food made by great people. The service was a little awkward, but I think that will improve over time considering it’s a new restaurant. The appetizers are tasty and the sushi chef is very talented. The dishes are pretty large, so it is easy to order too much food, but it will all taste good.

This place has the best momo’s in the world!!! Try EVERYTHING!!! Tibet, Japanese and Indian in one house and the best staff! Plenty of parking and easy to find. Personal favorites are Chili Tofu… Tibetan chow mien… Pakora and the Aloo Gobi. Everything is FRESH and no buffet or all you can eat. If you want some real food made authentically then this is the place!

I had a truly alarming experience here at lunch last week. First time to go there. DON’T ORDER THE TIBETAN/​INDIAN DISHES! The «tibetan» (or «indian») dishes are so far from a typical curry/​dal that they really can’t be called indian. The Aloo Gobi was stewed in chicken broth (ick!) kind of like a soup; the ‘chicken curry” actually defies description. I did like the gingery salad dressing! My lunch companion summed it up neatly: «the worst meal I think I have ever had».

I have been to the amazing restaurant 6 times since they just opened a few months ago. The Indian, Tibetan and Japanese food is excellent. This is authentic Indian and the fact that they get most of their produce locally, fresh from our farmers market makes it super fresh. I have had the chow mein, both beef and chicken, the momos, the chili beef, the chili chicken, a few different sushi rolls, the fried rice with chicken and the gobi aloo. All perfect. They have a really good, fairly priced wine list. I dont drink beer, but this offering is also quite extensive.

The Lemon Tree Roll was delicious and unique, my husband said that the broccoli beef was one of the best he had, my kids loved their meals, and we all liked the seaweed salad. It is a really nice family owned business that is a welcome addition to the neighborhood.

Have eaten here a few times since they recently opened. Tried a variety of foods. They offer Tibetan, Japanese & Indian food. Love this combination. We have tried a little bit from all the categories. Parking is easy. Staff is friendly and attentive. Spoke with the sushi chef and requested his recommendations for sashimi. The garlic vegetables were great. Spicy Edamame is very tasty. Seaweed salad was good. Had the tuna and yellowtail sashimi. Tibetan momos were delicious. We had a crispy honey chicken dish. Don’t recall exactly what it was called. Wife said it was so good it could become addicting.
