Mount Everest Momo Café

I loved Momo Dumplings.  From the first time I tried them as an indie vendor at a little table at the Boise Urban Market back in October of 2011 until the day their Meridian restaurant closed in November 2014, they were a consistent favorite for me.  I mourned the loss of that restaurant like I've mourned few others around here.  Hell, I'm still mourning it.  What they were doing was truly unique for the Boise area...at least at first.  In 2013, another momo joint called Mount Everest Momo Café opened on Broadway in Boise.  I didn't try it, though.  I was very loyal to the Momo Dumplings folks.  I knew them to be good people, I loved their food, and I sung their praises constantly on my Facebook page and this blog.  When they closed up shop, I started thinking about that other place.  It would be a while before I was up for it, but I knew that I would have to go try them out sooner or later.  So it sucked when a fire gutted a chunk of the strip mall they were located in just a couple of weeks later.  It took them six months to rebuild and reopen, and by then my momo cravings were fierce enough that I was truly open to trying them from a new place.  SPOILER ALERT: this is a rough one, but try to stick it out.  There are a couple of surprises along the way.
