Family Run Tibetan Fare
Small restaurant run by a Tibetan family. They serve a half vegetarian menu. Most entrees are under $10. They have Momo (dumplings), and hearty vegetarian soups, which are really more like stews. They also have bocha, the traditional salted butter tea.
Between 30th and 31st, next to the library.

Very nice food and people. It is small but has a warm feeling. I went there many times and the food was always good quality!!
A small, sparsely decorated restaurant always packed with eager customers. The last time I went there I had the vegetarian "hearty soup", which is a full meal, like a stew.My friend had the "bean thread nooodles." We both loved it and I cannot even begin to describe the incredible flavors. The soup has a light flavor, yet is a filling meal of vegetables, noodles, tofu, and broth... Get out and get some tibetan food
ARGH! They expanded their space and they taste terrible now! I can sense that nothing is handmade anymore. I've left my old review below, in the hopes that they will return.
I no longer order the Then Thook. The dumplings have become thin, and are obviously cut by a knife, not pulled off by hand. The broth has become flavorless, and some of the vegetables have decreased in quantity and quality. Too bad, but they're off my list of neighborhood eats.
OLD REVIEW, was given a 7---
I always get the vegetable then thook when I feel sick. It is the best comfort food. Also, get the steamed "ting mo" bread if possible. It is rolled bread, and good with the soup. The food comes out of the kitchen on the bland side. I recommend spicing it up with the chili oil and soy sauce on the tables.
For those familiar with Korean, then thook is like sujaebi, hand rolled dumplings (not filled, just dough blobs) in broth.
