My 4 star review of Little Tibet is entirely based on the amazing food. Don't let the lack of ambiance or crappy service turn you away.
Unfortunately, it seems like the service gets worse every time I go to Little Tibet. The servers never seem to  know anything about the food they're serving. To me, there's really no excuse to not know what "Tibetan spices" are when you work in a Tibetan restaurant. The servers also never seem quite sure of how service is supposed to go. Last time I went for dinner, our server brought out the appetizer soup after our entrees arrived, then brought us the check before we were finished eating. Nothing like being rushed out of a restaurant several hours before they close...
That said, the food is 100% worth the subpar service. For that alone, Little Tibet is the first place I eat when I'm back in Bloomington. For me, the mo mos (dumplings) are the obviously choice--and they're relatively hard to find outside of Bloomington. I usually go with the chura mo mos, which are filled with swiss cheese and onions. With the sauces on the side to add a little extra heat, you really can't go wrong with these. Entrees come with a soup and salad that are also delicious (although the lentil soup always needs a bit more salt). Their ginger dressing is definitely a highlight.
If you're perusing 4th Street for some delicious, unique food, Little Tibet is definitely worth a try!
Eight years ago I found myself in Bloomington for a short period of time. I drove past this place and always wanted to stop in since Nepalese isn't a cuisine that has been readily available in places I've lived. I finally had my chance!
We were in Bloomington for a night game and decided to stop by for an early dinner. It was a little before 5 o'clock when they opened. One of the servers appeared and offered to let us sit at a table on the patio while we waited for the restaurant to open for dinner service. It was so nice and peaceful we decided to just stay put.
One of the house wines is a choice that I am fond of so we quickly ordered a bottle and samosas to begin our meal. The wine needed to chill a couple more minutes but our server was certain to tell us and kept our water filled. The samosas were different than I am used to, but not in an unpleasant way. The filling was fairly typical, but the dough was puffier than usual. There was also a different sauce than Indian restaurants would typically pair with the dish.
My husband and I both ordered different kinds of mo mos for our entrees. He had one filled with meat while I went with one of the vegetarian dishes. We also both opted to have the mo mos pan fried. Mo mos are dumplings and there is a great variety of kinds available here. There are other Nepelese, Thai and Indian entrees available as well.
Our server continued to shine throughout the entire experience. I hope that we will have the opportunity to go back again some day.
Anyetsang's and Tibetan food have a problem: It's in many ways very similar to Chinese food. This comment will upset a lot of people, but it is what it is. Chinese civilization is one of the dominant and ancient civilizations in that part of the world and its influences are many, profound, and inescapable (strong influences on Japanese culture ala food, dress, Kanji, strong influences on Korean culture and writing, etc.).
When a Tibetan restaurant charges more money for dishes with smaller portions than comparable Chinese restaurants and when many of those dishes have very similar Chinese analogs, one has to question the value proposition. Are there even enough Tibetan dishes to fill the menu? If so, why do they also have Thai and Indian dishes on there? Why would I go to a Tibetan restaurant for Thai and Indian dishes?
We had the Sha-Dre, Temo Sha Tsel, and Phing-Sha. The first two look *exactly* like each other to the point where the server had to pre-emptively point it out to us. The dishes were all ok but, besides the higher prices than at comparable Chinese restaurants, how are they different than very common Chinese stir-fry dishes? I still can't answer that, and that's a problem for Anyetsang. If I served these dishes in a Chinese take-out restaurant and charged half Anyetsang's price for it, would anyone notice?
Good, bad, or indifferent, Chinese food in America is like the Honda Accord of ethnic foods. If you are going to charge about 2x the price of the Accord and the drivers can't tell the difference between your car and the Honda Accord, you are either going to go out of business or remain a very niche player for hipsters who like Accords but don't want to be seeing driving them. That's what Anyetsang's seems to me - Chinese food for hipsters around IU.
I've had one decent experience here and one lackluster. I'm documenting the latter in the hopes the owners read and pay attention to this.
My BF and I went for lunch recently and were only one of a few tables initially. The place steadily filled up and the service suffered because there was only one waitperson. In her defense, she was polite and did whatever she could to accommodate us, but she was tasked with dealing with about 12 tables on her own and having to explain away several things beyond her control:
1. They were out of an appetizer we ordered and we were told that despite it still being on the menu it had been discontinued.
2. My BF's Thai iced tea arrived sans cream and we were told "the manager ran out to get some."
3. My Pad Thai was so salty it was inedible.
The server was gracious and apologetic, the Pad Thai was removed from the bill, the cream showed up just before we left, etc. Still, I hate to see an overwhelmed server trying to do her best when the management obviously couldn't care less and the quality of the food is subpar. We tipped her well, but will likely not return to this restaurant.
THANK YOU YELP!! You came through again! Â My husband and I were in town for Hoosier Hysteria as well as celebrating our 15 year anniversary, and after moving to IN 4 months ago, I could not WAIT to get my taste buds excited again.
This place was absolutely incredible...so much so, my husband couldn't stop talking about it for 3 days after. Â #1 must: samosas! Â I've had samosas at several different types of restaurants as well as in Tanzania when I was there; these samosas are nothing like the others I've tried which are always good but these ones are melt-in-your-mouth amazing! They're shaped in a ball and are incredibly flaky on the outside with piping hot potato filling. Â The samosas are served with a special dipping sauce which just may have knocked my rating up a couple of notches, holy cow! Â Do me a favor and just get them!
My other favorite which I was pleasantly surprised by was the lentil soup. It's by far the best lentil soup I've ever had, and lucky for you, a bowl of soup comes with ever meal!! (along with a small salad)
My husband's main entree was the chicken mo-mo's (dumplings) and I ordered the tofu curry upon recommendation of many reviewers. Â I would go into detail, but my review would be waaaayyyy too long. Â Let's just say each meal was pure perfection and the curry really hit the spot on a cool autumn evening.
Needless to say we were so incredibly happy with our choice of eateries along 4th. Â I cannot WAIT to go back again!
The food here is very good, with a large range of choices on the menu.  The staff  is friendly and they do have great curry.  They are a bit on the expensive side, so save your pennies if you want a really good meal from them.  The only complaint I have is that they are a bit crammed when they get busy and due to size the place can get pretty loud.  Overall though it is a good ethnic restaurant.  I would recommend it to most people.
Review Source:As Yelp reviewers encouraged, I tried the yellow curry (with chicken), and I ordered pad thai with tofu. It was a Thai kind of night... Both entrees were good, and I really enjoyed the curry (thanks, yelpers!). Â I ordered spice level 3 for the curry, and wish I had ordered a level up. The pad thai I ordered a level 2, and it was almost perfect. Next time I might ask to have the tofu extra crispy as it seemed like it needed to be cooked or browned a little longer. Like all the things I've had in Bloomington so far, however, is the flavors are, well, subdued, toned down, and really just need to be kicked up another notch. That's why I gave this place 4 instead of 5 stars. I had the food delivered (super fast, told an hour but arrived in 30 minutes, maybe less), so I can't say anything about the service. The restaurant also offered a "back to school" special, so I got two entrees, two salads, two soups, and two drinks for less than $30. Not bad at all!
Since they make Indian as well as Tibetan food, I'm sure I'll have Anyetsang's at least a couple more times to experience the other cuisines.
UPDATE: I tend to use Yelp for recommendations, so here's mine: try the yellow curry with tofu. It's magically smooth and simply outstanding (I get level 4 heat). The samosas are fantastic and totally worth the price. I also really enjoy the tom kha soup with chicken or tofu, spice level 3 or so. It's thicker than I'm used to, so I actually water it down for a consistency that I like, but it still tastes quite perfect. I only wish that the lemongrass pieces were taken out for easier eating, but no big deal.
Delicious little restaurant with great tasting Tibetan, Thai and Indian cuisine.
I highly recommend the Yellow Curry (try it with tofu!), Tom Ka Soup, all of the Mo Mos  (I'm partial to the Shogo Mo Mo), and their Mango Lassi.
As are most of the restaurants in this area, Anyetsang's is a converted house. It's makes for a cozy, enjoyable atmosphere.
Lunch is definitely the better deal as far as prices are concerned.
Yum. What a gem.
All dinner entrees come with a soup and a salad. Â The salad dressing was definitely the highlight there. Â I got the tsel mo mo, vegetarian steamed dumplings, which were very good. Â Even better was the salsa like sauce they serve them with. Â There is soy sauce as well. Â Why only three stars? Â Well, staff has brought us the wrong food twice when I've been there. Â But, more importantly (and this is so spoiled American to say), the almost total lack of heating in the house in the winter is just brutal. Â I've sat in several different areas of the restaurant. Â One time, I had a vent under my chair blowing cold air up at me the whole time. Â Another time I could literally feel the cold wind blowing in along the walls. Â The bathroom was also seriously hole in the wall. Â These things are minor but they have definitely kept me from returning during the winter.
Review Source:My first time eating Tibetan food was amazing. Â I will definitely go back.
I didn't go too adventurous on my first trip. Â Lentil soup, salad, thai egg rolls, mo mo (beef dumplings), and sha sha mo mo (chicken dumplings).
Very tasty and comforting. Â A great local place to eat to get away from the typical chain places.
My ALL-TIME favorite IU restaurant! Â EVerything I have tried there is absolutely delicious, especially the lentil soup, Sha Balay, yellow curry, and Cho Cho with shrimp. Â If you are getting something spicy (or even if you aren't), try a Thai Iced Tea...it will help mellow out the spiciness!
The owner is extremely nice...we went for my sister's graduation and he gave her a traditional Tibetan scarf for good luck! Â Great decor, great service.
No AC but it is worth it!
A friend and I tried out Little Tibet on a whim, and unfortunately, I wasn't particularly impressed. Â On the plus side, the server was very friendly and knowledgeable, and he offered some helpful recommendations. Â On the debit side, the food took a while to come out, even though the place was less than half full, and when it finally did, it lacked flavor. Â The soup served beforehand is somewhat boring, and our satay chicken appetizer could have used much more seasoning. Â I had never really tried Tibetan food before, so for my entree, I opted for Mo Mo, the traditional dumpling dish. Â These tasted slightly more exciting, but I still feel as though they were ultimately a vehicle for the dipping sauces. Â My friend ordered one of the curries and seemed to really enjoy it; perhaps one would have better luck ordering from the Thai portion of the menu.
Review Source:Little Tibet is fantastic and consistently on point. This review isn't based on a single visit, rather upon the visits I've made over the past six six years to Anyetsang's Little Tibet.
When you enter the restaurant you're instructed to sit anywhere you'd like, and if you choose to sit outside (either on the porch or in the beautiful garden) just let them know that you'll be outside and they promptly will bring out menus, water, and place settings.
I'm the type of person who genuinely prefers to drink water with a meal over any other type of beverage, so I always just drink water, although I've tried their iced tea and it's delicious.
I have never been disappointed by anything on their menu. Normally I start with an order of samosas to share and an order of yellow curry with chicken for dinner. All of their curry entrees are on a scale of one to five for spiciness, I tend to get a three or four for the yellow curry and it suits my tastes just fine. Entrees are served with lentil soup and a green salad with a soy based dressing to start and jasmine rice alongside the entree.
In the past I've ordered some of the other dishes, such as the sha balay and the Momo dishes, however I am such a fan of their yellow curry that it's difficult for me to order anything else.
This is one of my favorite places to eat in Bloomington, I absolutely love Anyetsang's Little Tibet.
The service was 5 stars. Â Our waiter was very accommodating; we had a 9:00 PM dinner and were the last ones in the restaurant but were not rushed at all. I ordered the Tibetan tea wanting to get the full experience of the restaurant, but my waiter warned me it was an "acquired taste" and let me try it beforehand. Â Good thing, because I didn't like it but he quickly recommended the chai tea and it was phenomenal, one of the best drinks I've ever had.
The food was solid. Â I'd say that 2 is the perfect spice level so that you can still taste the flavor and not just heat. Â The Cho Cho (stir fried noodles) with shrimp was good. Â I also tried the dumplings which were good as well.
If you are going for lunch, definitely get the salad over the soup. Â The soup is fine (for anyone who likes lentil soup), but the homemade dressing that comes with the salad is delicious (it makes up for the small salad).
I without a doubt recommend coming here and will be back myself in the near future.
We went here for dinner and had the Tsel Mo Mo (vegetarian dumplings), the Cho Cho (noodle stir fry), and the Sha Balay (pan-fried crispy cakes). Every entree came with lentil soup and a small salad. Both the Sha Balay and the Mo Mo came with a soy dipping sauce and a spicy dipping sauce. In general, all of our entrees were tasty but not outstanding. On the plus side, the service was very friendly.
Spice level ranges from 1-5 and we were told that 3 is for someone who likes spicy food. My husband ordered the Cho Cho at spice level 2 and it was too hot for him (I was surprised at how spicy it was and I'm someone who loves very spicy food).
We had the rum pie for dessert and it a rum-flavored (I really couldn't taste the rum) cream pie with a chocolate topping.
We had a tough time choosing between the exotic offerings on 4th street and settled on Mandalay but they don't serve wine so we took our second choice, Little Tibet. Â
It is not a fancy place and sports lots of posters of the Dali Lama and other Tibetan wonders.  Kind of kitchey  but pleasant.  I'd like to see cloth napkins at dinner.
We had the Thai egg rolls. Â They were were filled with pork and vegetables and came with a tangy sauce. Â They were deep fried and crispy and delicious.
Dinner comes with a light yellow lentil soup. Â It was a bit dull but salt helped. Â The salad was also a bit dull but the fresh basil and dressing helped.
Next we shared the Cho-Cho with beef and hotness 2. Â It was served with crispy vegetables (ask for extra tomatoes). Â The 2 was spicy enough for us neophytes but we could not handle a 3! Â The Temo-Sha Tsel came with a large serving of Jasmine rice and we had chicken. Â TONS OF GARLIC - My husband said I have to sleep in the car. Â The sauce was tasty and the 1 hotness was just right. Â
The bill came to $46 and included two glasses of wine and two cans of soda.
Our server Cole really made the evening. Â He was knowledgeable and gave us some great tips on visiting Bloomington as a tourist. Â
The wine by the glass was limited but adequate. Â There are no desserts but there is a nice Italian place across the street and tons of bars a block up on Kirkwood.
Give Little Tibet a try.
After spending most of my life completely underwhelmed by anything that has to do with Thai/Tibetan food, after reading a review in one of my favorite blogs, I decided to try Anyetsang's--and I'm rather pleased that I did.
Firstly, though I've tried a few things, what I keep coming back for is the curry. The red curry, to be precise, with chicken, at spice level 2. Â I love that--I've had it with the tofu too, which is good, but tofu is always a little too soft for me, so generally I stick to the chicken. It's good and creamy and you can taste the different flavors that normally come with curries. For an appetizer, I adore the chicken satay, and the peanut sauce that comes with that is delicious. Â Now, everyone's always talking about the momos and I don't know if I'm just crazy or not but...I've never been impressed. Â I think it's because the dough is a bit too thick for me, and the filling too little for the amount of dough. But again, that's a personal preference thing--they were well made and if you like thick dough with stuff in the middle than they're for you. Â Whatever meal you get (in the evening; I've honestly never done lunch) comes with a soup and a salad. I don't like lentil soup, so the soup isn't my thing, but the salad has some of the best dressing I've tasted. I've had the mango lassies too--delicious and just the perfect sweetness!
Now, the thing I love most about Anyetsang's food is not only is it tasty, but you can always make 2-3 meals out of it (unless you're starving and inhale it all, of course.) And on top of being able to make 2-3 meals out of it, which many eateries can account for, it honestly heats up extremely well. The vegetables don't get soggy in a nasty way -- they maintain themselves so that you actually want to eat them. The rice is delicious after two days, and the curry sauce (is it called that? who cares!) is delightfully mingled.
Now, it's a 4th street restaurant which means it, like most of them, is a house. Inside is a bit crowded, but nothing overly bad. It's never been overwhelmingly busy when I've been there. Â I've never had a bad waiter/waitress when I've been there. Everyone's been nice and helpful. One time when I ordered carryout using Btownmenus, the cook came out of the back to tell me that I could save a good two dollars by calling them directly instead -- which was super nice to know! And really, if anyone gives me those hints, then I'll like them.
They deliver too, so if you're craving Anyetsang's and don't want to drive/ride the bus to the store (or if it's a Friday/Saturday and you really just don't want to deal with the masses of people who will be hovering down there as they inevitably seem to), you can order and have them bring it to you. The food always ends up showing up perfectly temperatured and sorted. I've never had a problem with it.
Over all, I highly suggest it!
Big fan of this little outfit on 4th street. Sadly, no longer a resident of Bloomington, but I'll say try the MoMo (not a modern art cute-ism, but dumplings) and the gorgeous yellow curry with shrimp. Lunch portions well priced and the right size. The fact that this restaurant is in a house only makes it cozier. Sitting in the garden when the weather is nice is an added bonus.
Review Source:I've only been once, so I'll keep this short. Solid 4 for food, 2.5 for service.
We started with the samosas which were FANtastic. Delicious dipping sauce too. I had momos (meat dumplings) which were tasty, but at $12 for 8 of them I thought pretty steep. My friend had yellow curry with shrimp. At dinner, your meal comes with a teeny tiny salad (with very good dressing) and a small bowl of what I believe was yellow lentil soup (tasty, even on a hot day). I wanted to get the lunch portion because I can't eat all that food but the server said no. The iced chai and sweet lassi we drank were tasty. Thankful for the ice in the lassi on this hot night!
This restaurant is in an old house. Cozy interior and neat decor...but if you don't like to sit on top of your fellow diners and feel like you're in their conversation you may be uncomfortable here. It was 95+F the night we went, and the a/c was working hard but not hard enough.
The server never smiled and was extremely standoffish. "Are you ready to order?" we weren't. She walked away. "Are you ready now?" we were. She wrote the order down and walked away. When the food came, she actually handed my plate to me, instead of placing it on the table. What? (In case you're wondering, at this point, if this was a cultural thing, this was an American college student who was waiting on us.) She tried to take away my plate while I was still eating without asking me first. The restaurant was likely almost 80 degrees inside (whatever...makes me feel like I'm having an adventure) but we had to beg for refills on our water. We actually watched our server bring it to other tables and skip us. Now I'm wondering if there was some sort of "history" with my friend (who teaches) and the server (maybe he gave her a bad grade...or?)...it would explain A LOT.
I'd definitely go back again for the food, but if that server ended up taking care of me I think I'd have to fake an "emergency" and head to one of the other MANY restaurants in the area.
When I moved to Bloomington, I was told Snow Lion was THE place to go for Tibetan food. That is simply not true. Little Tibet quickly became one of my favorites and I never get sick of it.
Not only that, Â but interestingly enough it has some of the best Thai food in town, also.
The curries are delicious. Decent level of spice -- could be spicier, in my opinion, but I can take a lot. My boyfriend's kind of a spice-wuss and he thinks it's fine. EDIT: My boyfriend would like for it to be known that he is NOT a spice-wuss.
I usually get the soups because they're always good and come with rice and usually can get me through a couple of meals. The mo-mos are definitely their specialty, and the staff is nice about splitting up a plate if you just can't decide between two different kinds.
Also - BEST SAMOSAS I HAVE EVER HAD. They're really unusual - not as thick and greasy as the samosas I've gotten from Indian restaurants. Be sure to try them.
Only potential issue is that very few dishes here are strictly vegetarian -- many incorporate fish sauce.
I brought my mom here -- who is notoriously picky about food and because of whose antics I have had to hide my face in shame from many a local restaurant until the proprietors forgot what I looked like -- and even she loved it!
Overall, I love love love Little Tibet and highly recommend it for an affordable, unique place to eat.
I was driving through Bloomington and told by the clerk at Landlocked Records (great store!) to check this Tibetan place out. I really liked it. I had the Mo-Mo's (liked the vegetables ones better than the beef ones) which were like pot-stickers but with a different/better flavor. I especially liked the yellow curry. I'm a wuss with spices so mine was 2/5 and it still had ample kick. Great flavor over jasmine rice. I would gladly go back to this place.
Review Source:Get the yellow curry! Just. do. it.
Tastiest curry I've ever had in my life, and I've had many a curry. I tried the buttery Tibetan tea by recommendation, but me and everyone else at the table who tried it didn't really like it. It literally tasted like hot, watery butter- just not my thing. I'd recommend their chai instead.
Every time someone visits from out of town, this is where I take them. And I tell them all one thing: Get the yellow curry!
This restaurant was good. Â In my opinion, nothing really bad... but nothing out of this world wonderful either. Â It was average. Â Of the items we ordered on the menu... it was split down the middle as to which ones we felt were good... which ones we felt were lacking... and there was not consistency with the positive or negative reviews. Â The service was great... very friendly and attentive. Â Read my full review and see pictures here:
<a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thetravellingtastebuds.com%2F2010%2F10%2F05%2Flittle-tibet%2F&s=b30525dc3272784229daf780105e292a612022ed307b51aed05331c1f40d528d" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.thetravelling…</a>
this restaurant is one of the only things i miss about bloomington. sometimes i will get this bleary-eyed achey feeling when i'm hungry and realize my heart is crying out for momos. Â
i also love their indian-style curries and the tibetan tea, which has a buttery salty flavor as opposed to sweet. a lunch of aloo gobi + some tibetan tea = perfect combination of sweet and salty.
there's also a nice little stone patio with a waterfall and some plants and stuff, which is pleasant for outdoor dinners. this is a great restaurant for date nights and family visits. don't listen to anyone who says the snow lion is the better tibetan restaurant in this town: NOT TRUE!!!
Ok so my boyfriend LOVES their food, especially their dumplings I think. Â I only went once or twice, nothing struck me as amazing, like he lovesss it! Â I thought it was a cute place with decent food, but would rather go to Siam house... there just wasn't the flavor I wanted in the dishes my friend and I got... oh well maybe I should give it a second chance...
Review Source:I had the Lentil soup, samosa, red curry chicken, jasmine tea. Â I love this place. Â It's definitely a hole in the wall and not all that attractive, but it still provides a unique setting. Â The lentil soup and the red curry chicken were excellent. Â There are a lot of regulars here, mostly of the non-mainstream culture type. Â Good service.
Review Source:Went here while visiting old friends. While I had heard Snow Lion was THE place to go, my hostess for the weekend insisted we go to Little Tibet. I was fine either way, I just wanted to try Nepalese food for the first time.
I have to say I was pretty impressed. EVERYTHING was tasty. The only thing I didn't care for was the lentil soup, but I am not a huge fan of lentil soup so no loss there. The Mo Mos are great, we tried the meat and cheese ones and loved both. The fried patty mo mos (can't remember the name) were also good. In addition I enjoyed the yellow curry (great spice level) and the broccoli fried rice. The two boys with us, 11 and 12, also enjoyed the food (though they ate the mo mo filling and left the wrapper).
I literally devoured everything put in front of me, and it was just as delicious the next day. Little Tibet will definitely remain a MUST GO when I visit B-Town.
Fabulous! This was only my first time, but the mo mo was great! Years ago, I had Tibetan friends make mo mo at home and Little Tibet's was just like those. A portion sized to fill, plus a simple and good lentil soup and salad to start. A friend had the veggie mo mo and loved it as well. I would definately return.
Review Source:Little Tibet is AWESOME! I wish I had a plate full of their yellow curry in front of me right now!
But really, I do highly recommend Little Tibet. It's one of my favorite restaurants in Bloomington... and thats saying a lot.
Whenever I visit Bloomington Little Tibet is one of the places that I always try to eat at. It definitely makes my list of must eats in Bloomington.
Little Tibet, you are delicious. Â Best MO-MO around and your samosas weren't half bad! No, really, they're freaking awesome.
Eat here, please. Â The decor is authentic, the server was sweet, and it's reasonably priced. Â
Yet another place I wish I would have enjoyed more as a student.
I'll see you next time I'm in town, no doubt.
The hardest part of reviewing and rating highly ethnic food is trying to stay unbiased with your own biases and paradigms and to go with the flow with the new food. Â
Most of the employees are from Tibet except for a couple of servers. Â The busboy just arrived from Tibet and commented that this chef (the matriarch) cooks just like his mom did back home. Â So I asked what he likes to eat at home and after a few minutes of investigative culinary questioning this is what I had......
Green salad: Â Standard green salad with slivers of carrots and a slice of cucumber. Â An interesting sesame/soy/vinegar based dressing. Â Tasty dressing. Â 3 stars.
Curry soup: Â Thin curry yellowish soup. Â Bits of vegetables in the soup. Â Interesting soup...3.5 stars
Kham Amdo Thukpa:  I was told this is homestyle Tibetan beef stew.  This is not like a Western, thick beef stew but more like a beef soup.  The noodles are short  and thick...sorta like a cross between a wide egg noodle and gnocchi.  The beef is thinly sliced and boiled in the soup.  Diced green onions are in the soup and hot red pepper flakes accompany the stew.  Overall a dish on the light side....very tasty.  4 stars
MoMo: Â This is the Tibetan comfort food and served in the home. Â Much like pancaked/flattened pot stickers...the taste and texture is very similar. Â Two dipping sauces were included....a soy based and a hot red pepper based ones. Â The outer dough was thicker and tougher than most pot sticker skins. Â Â The beef was finely ground and had a mildly seasoned (garlic/onion) taste to it. Â Overall a very enjoyable dish...4 stars.
Tibetan food to me was both  novel but yet familar.  Their cuisine reflects a lot upon their culture....the food is basic but with enough variation to be interesting. Â
Overall this is 4 star cuisine.
I've been here a few times, and prefer to go at lunch time where the majority of the entrees are $6.50. I usually get the red curry which is always tasty. Â Little Tibet has a nice outdoor area and the service was very good.
However, they need to make a few updates. Our outdoor table was bowed in the middle so everything kept sliding around, which was annoying for us and the waitress. Also they serve everything on these old plastic plates, so the food takes on that gross 'old plastic' taste and smell.
Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
I ate a phenomenal yellow curry with tofu that was probably the best I've ever had. My partner complained a little about the cost ($10+ per entree), but with food this good, I feel it's a deal. You can personalize the spiciness of your dish on a scale of 1 to 5 (1 being the most mild) - the level 3 was the perfect amount of spice for me.
Cozy, comfy atmosphere. Friendly and efficient service. Bodacious curries  and noodles. I don't think there is anything else to say but yum - a thousand times yum!
*Great* curries and the best, homemade chai you've ever had! I could eat there everyday! I recommend the green curry w/steamed tofu...
Every meal comes with lentil soup and a small salad w/great, ginger salad dressing. Great samosas, too!
It's set in a little, old house on the 4th St. 'restaurant row', just off the main Kirkwood drag, close enough to be accessible, but off the beaten path just enough to feel like you've found your own little secret treasure... and the owners are really Tibetan, and are there everyday.
(one caveat, it's a small place, not good for large parties...)
