Very plumped and piping hot momos - 8 pieces for $9. We got the chicken and it was very tasty, highly recommend pouring some hot sauce and yogurt sauce for the perfect balance of a savory and spicy. You have to try the Laphing rolls (forgot to picture). These are cold and refreshing noodles made from mung bean (I think?) soaked in this spicy and umami sauce which certainly has a nice bite of heat at the end. It wrapped some sort of tofu and our group agreed that this was a favorite.

I thoroughly enjoyed Mom's momos, opting for the delicious chicken ones complemented by a flavorful sauce. The hot sauce added a nice kick. While I wished for outdoor seating, being a food truck limits that. Amidst various momo trucks at the intersection in queens, I'm happy I chose Mom's. I sampled the steamed chicken momos, finding them tasty even later in the day when I brought it home. The chicken was filling and hit the spot. If you love spice and flavor, it might lean toward the milder side so you could ask more extra hot sauce. If you don't have cash, no worries since they also take Venmo.

Good momos but not excellent. When you order, the sweet lady pan fries them to add a tinge of char and to heat them. What I feel they lack is scallions and the flavorful ingredients other competitors retain. Phayul restaurant and amdo truck are better. Just my honest opinion.

My go to momo spot in Jackson's Heights. They are open late so that's dope. They also take venmo if you don't have cash on you!! The dumplings were chunky, filled with chicken (it's halal!), and comes with sauce. The chili sauce is SPICY. But anywho, they have the best momos in Queens!! I want to try other things on the menu like there spring rolls.

Absolutely LOVE this food truck! Their momos are always fresh, taste amazing and they hit the spot after a long night out in the city. My favorite is their fried beef momos. Tip: get an extra white sauce cos it's never enough (at least for me anyway), and be careful with the red sauce!

So many momo trucks in this intersection, definitely not mad I went with Mom's! Tried the fried and steamed chicken, both very tasty even a couple days later using my air fryer. Glad I got the chicken, it reminded me of more of a pork/chicken blend, thought it was comforting and easy to eat. If you're a fan of spice and flavor, you might find it bland. Pay with Venmo, very easy

First time trying momos and I loved them! It's a perfect cross between a regular dumpling and a soup dumpling. Loved that they are pretty big in size and stuffed with meat. No stinginess here! Warning: the hot sauce is pretty spicy but the yogurt sauce helps to balance that out and add a nice freshness. We got the chicken momos since they were out of beef. I am not usually a fan of chicken dumplings, so I was pretty apprehensive about trying it, but they were surprisingly super juicy and almost tasted like pork. Can't wait to try the beef next time!

I ordered the steamed chicken momos from this food truck after being recommended by my cousin. Having not tried momos prior, I was excited get my hands on their classic menu item. First of all, the flavor was so different (in a good way!) compared to other dumpling-type foods I've had. Each of the momos were fairly large and overall the price point was affordable. I did question, however, how fresh the food was given its texture and presentation (slightly slimier than steamed dumplings I've had in the past and a couple momos were ripped). That being said, I am glad to have tried them. Flavor: the combination of the creamy white sauce with the spicy red was perfectly balanced and definitely elevated the flavors of the momos. If you can handle spicy foods, I highly recommend just drizzling both sauces over the plate.
