“On a Quest for Good Momos (most underrated type of dumpling) in DC”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

I had the juiciest, most flavorful dumplings from a food truck named Himalayan Soul Foods at the Asia Fiesta food festival in DC last weekend. These dumplings are called momos and they are eaten in Nepal and Tibet. One distinctive feature of these momos is that they have a tasty tomato sauce to go along with them. I can’t believe it was the first time I’ve heard of them. I was wondering if anyone knows of any restaurants that serve momos in DC/ VA? I’m a fan!”

Ed. Note: Stand by for Momo DC coming to Dupont. In the meantime where are some current great spots?
