“Perfect for vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores this family friendly restaurant has something for everyone”
Momo Factory is a late-night dumpling spot that fills a craving but not much more.

“Really good option for a hearty meal.”
Really good option for a hearty meal! I got the samosa and butter curry masala momos with paneer. The samosa was so filling and the momos were also very good with a generous portion. It’s a little pricey but I’d say it’s worth it!

Grabbed takeout last night, perfect for the weather, the chili noodles were generous portions & were delicious. Really enjoyed the Jhol momos (vegetarian), hoping to try the another variation on an evening where we dine in.

“I had an amazing experience at Momo Factory in Chicago.”
I had an amazing experience at Momo Factory in Chicago! The food was absolutely delicious — the jhol momo was flavorful and perfectly spiced, and the garlic chicken chowmein was packed with taste and cooked to perfection. The service was excellent from the moment we walked in. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the whole dining experience even better. If you’re craving authentic and tasty Nepali food with a great atmosphere, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommend!

“These were the best momos I've ever had.”
These were the best momos I've ever had! The staff was welcoming and the food came out quick and piping hot. We ordered veggie chilly and chicken jhol momos, and the veggie garlic chili chow mein. It was all delicious. Previous reviews said they didn't have cutlery/plates for dine-in, but they must have changed this, because we had a nice setting as you can see in the photo.

“If you are looking for authentic momos this is your place.”
If you are looking for authentic momos this is your place! It is so fairly priced and the momos are flavorful and delicious! I love that you can also get non traditional combos like momos in butter curry. Very fun. This place is definitely better for take out since my biggest complaint is the wasteful use of plastics. Even if you eat in house they give you disposable plates, cuts and cutlery. I was really hoping that places were more environmentally conscious. Also not much of a vibe inside. But the food is worth the trip!

The CHOILA was the best 🥟4.6⭐500/ save & share with a dumpling lover! Momo Factory Lakeview: 📍 3202 N Broadway Street, Chicago IL 60657 (4.6 ⭐ 502) River North: 📍 860 N Orleans St, Chicago, IL 60610 (4.8⭐65) I've been meaning to try this spot for a long time ✔️ Friends nearby recommended it many times ✔️ Open since 2019 ✔️ Chef with 20+ years experience ✔️ Super packed inside ✔️ 6 momo options with veg, lamb, paneer (cottage cheese), pork, chicken, fish ✔️ Different types: steamed, fried, Choila, Butter Curry, What we got 🥟 Steamed Momo - pork 🥟Choila - lamb 🥟Butter curry - chicken Each dish comes with 10 momos‼️ Pro tip: get the steamed ones as the skin doesn't soak up all the sauce and makes them soggy. I'd ask for ANY of the sauces on the side, even the Choila or butter Curry 🥟 Doordash @doordash 🥡$0 delivery fee with first $7+ order on eligible orders through the link in my bio! 🥡Terms apply 🥡I also have Dash Pass through @chase #doordash_partner #momo #nepalesefood #dumplings #chicago #lakeview #lakevieweast #chicagofood #asianfood #dumpling #尼泊爾 #餃子 #餃 #momos #buttercurry #butterchicken #nepal #nepalfood #芝加哥 #芝加哥美食 best momo in Chicago best nepalese food Chicago best dumplings curry #choila #lambdumplings #steameddumplings #streetfopd #chicagostreetfood #chicagoasianfood

10 tasty momos for a good price! I loved the achaar sauce but the hot sauce was stunning. All I wanted tonight was momo, so I am happy the momo factory came in clutch! 🔥

“Nepalese deliciousness.”
Nepalese deliciousness! If you’re unfamiliar with Nepalese it’s sort of a combo of Indian and Thai dishes but with a unique spice palate. Perfect for vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores this family friendly restaurant has something for everyone. The dining area is no frills but they’re not necessary as the food is packed with flavor. So many fun choices from momos (little dumplings filled with your choice of spiced veggies and/or various meats), rice dishes, noodles, curries, and lots of Nepalese street food specials. I couldn’t decide so I went with the vegan combo bowl: Four umami-packed dumplings with a tangy tomato dipping sauce, a mildly spiced veggie curry, rice (or noodles, but the noodles contained egg) and a small salad. I wish I wasn’t so stuffed because there were so many other times I wanted to try like the lassies (regular and vegan), samosas, chat, etc). Prices are extremely reasonable! I’ll definitely return.
