Lhasa Fast Food

I love it here! Authentic, fresh & healthy Tibetan food!

Saw the Youtube Eater episode so I came and checked it out. It was okay.

I have to say one of the great things about living in NYC is the diversity of food and neighborhoods which you go to in order to find that food and partly the fun of finding a place.

Lhasa Fast Food is one of those that maybe on in NYC. Firstly, you have to trek to Jackson Heights and yes that is beyond the borders of Manhattan. In fact it is in Queens. I heard the audible gasp from the Manhattanites.

Secondly, for the first timer it is like Magellan’s expedition to the unknown world. The no-frills restaurant is found after following the paper arrow on the door directing you to head behind the mobile shop is like how he must have felt discovering the new world. Excitement, enthusiastic of getting there.

The menu is simple posted on the wall once you figure out what each items are. The service is friendly but don’t expect it to be fast. It is casual here. As the Tibetan Proverb, ‘At the bottom of patience is Heaven’ and that holds true here after ordering. Wait until it comes out as you are rewarded with a meal to savor.

The food is hearty, comforting and the momos are delicious. Enjoy it.
