Absolutely delicious. Hadn’t heard of the place before but decided to try, got fried rice, chow mein, dumplings and roti. Everything was so tasty, lovely fresh ingredients. Will definitely be back to enjoy their patio and beer on tap! Great service too, friendly and professional.
This is a hidden gem restaurant in this are. All the food that we order are good. It's a family restaurant so the food are like home cook too. I am so surprised that they have good dumplings. It is like the Chinese dumpling. If you don't like hot spicy like me, you should asking for very mild spicy. The price is very reasonable too. They are all nice and helpful.
Small pockets of happiness, Momos-steamed dumplings and hand-rolled noodles and housemade broth- Thukpa that chef Pema makes in her kitchen from scratch. So happy that I could get my Momo fix here and Pema is super nice.
We tried this place yesterday because some of our friend raved about the food here and they were absolutely right!! We tried the vegetarian steamed momos and the nepali chowmein noodles. We liked both the dishes but the noodles were next level delicious! I wasn’t feeling like I had enough of those :) They also had some pickles, sauce and chilli oil for purchasing. I bought a bottle of lavender lime pickle and it’s gooood!! The service was quick and the owners were really nice to talk to! Overall, we loved it.. it’s a perfect spot for a chilly, rainy day! If you are driving from Victoria, it’s a gorgeous drive :) Oh also, the hot tea and mango lassi were refreshing! They make it (as all other items) in house as well :) Definitely, this place is added to my favourites list and we will re-visit :)

On our way to Victoria, we stopped at momo ville, a hidden gem for authentic Nepali cuisine. Their juicy momo - simple, flavorful and reminiscent of traditional Tibetan-style dumplings- was an absolute delight. We also loved the chowmein and spicy choila, which perfectly complemented the meal. If you're craving genuine Nepali flavors, Momo Vile is a must- try!
I really enjoyed my order of chicken chow mein. It was delicious and had so much flavor! The portion size is great, a perfect balance of chicken and noodles. Friendly service as well. I will be back to try more items in the near future.
We were lucky enough to visit during their New Year celebrations, and it made the experience even more special! The owners treated us to some local snacks, setting the perfect tone for an authentic feast. We went all in with Nepali dishes, and it did not disappoint—especially the cold chicken dish, which turned out to be an unexpectedly delicious snack. The momos were packed with flavor, and the homemade noodles in fresh broth were simply top-notch. What really stood out was the warmth and genuine hospitality of the family running this place. You could feel the love in every bite. And that incredible aroma drifting onto the street? It made stepping inside irresistible!
