Taste of Himalaya
7.8
A calm, neighborhood Himalayan room where the best orders lean brothy and dumpling-forward, with a few vegetable sides to round it out. It’s a comfortable sit-down option when you want warming bowls and straightforward execution over a big night-out production.

Beef thenthuk, Chicken momos, Stir-fried bok choy
