  By far one of my favorite places to eat. We drove for over an hour to go for my birthday, and it was well worth the time! Their lentil soup sounds basic, but it is inspiring. Their staff are always encouraging and give great recommendations.

  Yes, a new fav! 2nd time ordering from here and everything was flavorful. The lentil soup was hearty with levity and loved the bits of ginger at the bottom of the soup container. The Thenthuk broth cured something in my soul and noodles was the perfect amount of thickness and chewy softness. The beef is more lean than what I would like so I stick with the veggie Thenthuk. The Chili Momo sauce has a kick and builds the more you eat it. I prefer the meat dumplings over the veggies bc the thick dough does a good job soaking up the flavor. The texture of the eggplant in the Gha is more cooked than what I would like but the balance of savory and tangy garlic is wonderful. The steam buns go well dipped in the curry sauce of the Pingsha. Will order again.

  White yak is a Tibetan restaurant in roxborough, first of its kind in Philly! I really enjoyed the variety of Tibetan food here. We started with mung bean jelly (cold noodle dish) which is super refreshing, 5/5. Then my partner and I shared the combo Momo which includes 3 beef momos, 3 chicken momos and 3 vegetarian momos. The flavors were all different, letting customers to be able to try the vast world of Tibetan/nepalese dumplings. We also ordered thenthuk, hand pulled noodle soup, which is very warming and perfect to have on the rainy day we visited. We washed all of this down with a traditional butter tea, slightly savory with creaminess. The waiter was super friendly. We were able to chat about our individual experiences in Tibet. We would come back again!

  I used to live nearby and this was always my go-to for takeout. Sometimes when I needed just soup but other times when I had a bunch of friends over. Now I mostly dine in and they never skip a beat either way. The food is always fresh, warm and delicious. The service is great and the atmosphere lends itself to a comfortable experience.

  This is one of Philadelphia’s ELITE gems. BYO and phenomenal food. Every single shred of vegetable is hand washed by the owner and everything is made with the upmost care and love. The food is elite but the people who own and also run this place are even better. We wouldn’t be the same city without them and that’s not even up for debate. We eat here weeekly lol. HIGHLY recommend.
