The food here is so good! It is all very authentic too and takes me back to Nepal instantly. I love the momos and the sauce they are served with is delicious. The thukpa is also very good. They can get busy but it is always worth the wait!
An assorted variety of momos offered for a very pocket friendly price. All meals are very fulfilling and taste very much like the authentic nepalese/Indianish cuisine. The portion size is enough for a very satisfying meal. So highly recommended. Also, a free tip, if your spice tolerance is low, do not pick a dish that involved chilli. Haha
My first time trying Nepalese food. Surprisingly, I enjoyed their food very much. Love their momos which known as dumplings. Definitely, it tasted different from dumpling that I had in Chinese restaurant but it has similarities. I had chicken chowmian as well which was enjoyable except chicken was a little dry.
I will be back for other kinds of momos!
Was introduced by a colleague of mine and I'm not disappointed. The Momo is addictive and delicious especially with the sauce that comes with it. I would definitely come back, Thank you.
Craving Nepalese noodle so I decide to come to this place around 3 pm. The place is so busy at this time. Shocking because I though it gonna be quite since the lunchtime over. But, anyways, all worth it. The food is so good. Will come back and try their momo 😋
Been here a lot of times - mostly for the consistently Yummy Momo's!!
The chicken soup that you get with the Momo's is out of this world and can be a perfect healing potion when you're feeling a bit down under..
I don't come here for proper meals but in between meals - momo cravings.. nicely tucked away place in Melbourne CBD.. off Bourke St.. opposite Target..
The dumplings (momo) here are thick skinned and so hearty. Tucked away in a food court, the restaurant it self looked quite run down... but the line of people queuing for their order to be taken was what kept my curiosity. I ordered the spicy momo in which was quite cheap and came with 8 or more large size dumplings covered in a delicious spicy tomato sauce. Addictive!
My go to place to satisfied my Momo cravings. Hidden in Tivoli arcade is a cute little nepalese restaurant that serves a range of momo's from vegetarian, chicken and beef. It is a great spot to grab a quick and cheap lunch at $11 for 10 Dumplings and a side of soup.
Service with a smile all round...
As for the food, the chow mein was tasty. Not as smoky as other restaurants but I would definitely still go back for it any time. It was fairly priced at just $11 as well.
As for the chicken pan fried momos, the filling wasn’t the best. I’ve had better ones in the city, but I’m hoping it was just a bad batch by the chef and when I return, it improves!
One of the best things about Melbourne has to be the endless list of cuisines on offer. This was my first time having Nepalese food and it didn't disappoint, with our favourites here being the beef and chicken momos!

The serve the best chicken momos !
The place is tiny and inside tivoli arcade in a corner but it is maintained well in terms of hygiene.
Love the wai wai and chicken momos .
Little Bit Of Everything
+3.5
Was in a mood to eat some authentic Momo’s that’s how I ended up here for lunch. Never ended up ordering momos as I saw the Lamb Choila, a dish that I ate a friends place in Sydney. Amazing flavours with lots of garlic just loved it. On the down side the meat was a little tough and dry. Perfect for lunches as they are super quick with their service.
It's always comforting consuming momos especially during winter. It's a nice break from the endless consumption of Chinese dumplings on offer. What I love are the various spices used in each filling as well as the accompaniments (especially the chilli). Not the most glamorous locality but delivers hearty meals.
Gave up on this place after a few mediocre experiences, but the craving for something spicy (and proximity to the mall where I was shopping) brought me back again. I got the Choila Aloo Set and the quality of the Lamb Choila has improved greatly! The meat was tender, spicy and full of flavour, my only suggestion for them would be to go easy on the garlic. The taste of Dum Aloo was much better too. I had a very satisfying lunch!
Big fan of their momos! Delish decadent delightful dumplings. Every mouthful packed with the flavours. Mixed with the condiments, momos becomes great-mos! For $9, value for money. Only drawback is its 15min wait before those momos are served.
I went here for lunch today. Luckily I wasn't in a hurry because I was told it was a 20 minute wait for my fried pork momos. I wouldn't recommend this place for people on their lunch breaks. After 20 mins my fried pork momos came out with dhal and chili sauce, they were nice when they were mixed together. I enjoyed the flavor of the momos it's slightly different from a Chinese dumpling maybe it has cumin in it. If I get momos from here I'd get them steamed instead of fried because they were really oily. The staff were friendly enough, no time to be really friendly because they're busy.
Hidden away amongst the many shops and little Bourke Street arcade districts (this time it's further in from the Starbucks shop) is this little Nepalese gem.
Momo are basically dumplings Nepalese style and the pan fried pork ones were worth the wait (expect about 10mins?). Comes with a side of chilli and what closely resembles dal and a bowl of chicken soup. I've also had the chicken chow mien before and that's also worth a try.
Nice cheap eat and a change to the otherwise better known Chinese dumplings.
The wai wai sadeko and chilli pork momos are amazing! The wai wai was abit too sour though.. The service is quite slow though, it takes 30 minutes for the spicy pork momo to be served! But it is definitely my favourite momo place in Melbourne!
Simply excellent. Authentic, clean, delicious. If you have had Nepalese, or food from the hills of Darjeeling this is the place. Try the choilas.
- great service
- good food
- made fresh just for.
I ordered chicken dumplings, it was made fresh because I can't actually taste the onions and other spices.
Their spicy tea is really nice, warm, and refreshing.
My favourite place to have momos! Always fresh and juicy and piping hot. Can't go wrong with an aloo choila set either. Have been reccomending this place to all of my friends.
We really enjoy spicy food so the hot and spicy lamb choila and the momos in chilli sauce were delightful! The food here really tasty and very good value!
Momo's has brought something new to my palate - the lamb choila set. The puffed rice that comes with it has some crunchy beans in the mix and the lamb itself is juicy and deliciously spiced. I did try the Momo's but it was the lamb choila that left it's lasting impression on me, and my hidden gem find for the work. FYI the Momo's you can also buy frozen to take home.
Mouth watering and succulent chicken momos. The best and the money worth momos you can ever find. The chowmien just tickles the taste buds. Spicy and delicious. Found the place 3 months ago and have already visited it more than 15 times..travelling all the way from the south east surburb. The service is prompt and the food is fresh made. Not a great ambiance, but who cares when you have heaven on your plate.
SO hard to find authentic Nepalese in Melbourne and I'm glad I found it at Momo Station. I love this little joint and it's honest, fuss-free food. Try the wai wai sadeko and the lamb choila set! Amazing. I regularly eat here! :)
Every Time I go there, I order chicken mo:mo. My favourite meal and only one place where I can get mo:mo like how I want to is momo station. Amazing foods.
Friendly vibe. Friendly people here serving up humble food thus no hipster wankers and better atmosphere. Some of it isn't that amazing but the dumplings are good and it is all reasonably priced. Worth checking out, it is a bit hard to find in an arcade, but note it closes at 6.30 pm.
Great find. Sumbled upon this place by accident a couple of weeks ago, really good decent food and at a great price. Worth the venture to the back of the arcade to try out.
Came here on a groupon and so glad I did, because I would never have thought to look for food in tivoli arcade! Beautiful dumplings!
Amaaaaazing momos and more!!!. Brilliant momos and chweeeelllllaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! reminds me of nepal!!!!
Momo Mo mo more. Resembling a small stall along side the roads in Nepal and Darjeeling area, the chicken momos are as good. Nepalese street food done quick and tasty. The lamb choyla is also another one to share if you're keen on spicy food.
Absolutely loved it! Been there twice now and dare I say there wil be a heap more visits. Tried the chicken and pork momos which blew me away! I've also tried the lamb choila which was spicy but didn't stop me from devouring it. So tasty!
Best chicken dumplings in Melbourne. After 20+ visits to Momo Station, the chicken dumplings (momo's) are consistent - and fantastic. The chai tea is also very good, made from the staff's secret recipe, not from a pre-mixd satchet.
Watch out, the dumplings from Momo will spoil for dumplings from other establishments...
Best Momo in town... If u are a serious dumpling fan.. U can't miss out the taste of authentic Nepalese momo
Hidden in a corner of the Tivoli Arcade in Bourke Street, Momo Station serves different types of Nepalese dumplings. I find them a nice change from the usual Chinese style dumplings. My other like is the noodle soup.

I like these Momos. Momo Station is a rather nondescript, basic food outlet operation, populated with many Nepalese student types. Seems to be a charming family operation with the basic self service cutlery and sauces. Wishing to try the momos I was recommended that the chicken ones were good. They came out on a tray with chicken broth, coriander and chilli sauce. The momos were delicious parcels of dumpling goodness with a minute amount of broth inside. Chicken flavour was excellent as were the dipping sauces -- though next time I will try the more serious looking red sauces on display. Washed down with a can of Coke all for $9.50 a great feed before pints with the boys. Definitely recommend this for dumpling aficionados the fine family style can't be beat -- will be back to try the beef, pork and veg variations of momos.
The Chicken Momo ($8 for 10 pieces) seems to be THE thing to order here, and yes, they do look a lot like Xiao Long Bao. However as soon as you put them in your mouth, you realise that they couldn’t be more different. Unlike its yum-cha twin, these small parcels are designed to be stodgy and filling, with a much more strongly flavoured mince. Despite that, these dumplings still manage to retain some delicacy to them, through the careful flavouring of the filling, and the thinness of the wrapper. Dipped in house-made chutney, and between sips of a delicate chicken broth, they disappeared quickly down the hatch.
One of the best street style chowmein I've had in a long time. The panipuri was good too and the vegetarian momos were soft and well-cooked. The stuffing could have been a bit spicy.
Been on a bit of a momo hunt lately and this place takes the crown imo !
Deliciously spiced just right. I devoured these! I can’t wait to go back for more.
They do provide a tangy tomato sauce on the side but I thought the momos tasted great by itself . Although the momos are are made can leave the top of them a bit chewier than the body which I didn’t mind but (thankfully)my gf did…more for me! We also ordered the veg noodles . This was on the spicer side with a rather smokey flavour which I also enjoyed.
"Original" Momo Place in Melbourne. Been going there for years and absolutely love the food there. Noticed that they have recently moved to new location. New location but same delightful, homely taste.
Enjoyed the steamed veg momos yesterday. The sauces were very tasty and a good compliement to the momos. Not too spicy or sweet, just perfect.
My 14 month's old daughter enjoys your Chicken MOMO , can you believe it !!!! !
I am a very happy customer and love live love your Chicken MOMO, please always maintain the quality like you do.
