Great food! Family owned and operated... nice people!

I love potatoes, so this place is great. Imagine a kind of Chinese food crossed with an eastern european potato dish (not all dishes are potatoes... I just get those often). The chef is the owner and his daughters are the servers. Very quaint. Very friendly. Very caring... one day I took my girlfriend when she had lost her voice and the wife of the owner brought out a tibetan remedy concoction that actually worked!! Great place. They need more business... refer refer refer!!!
- Pros: The cute staff. The Sho Go Kha-Tsa and the dumplings.
- Cons: Sometimes the daughters don't seem to know the proper serving methodology

you can load up on soup, momos, and these super good vegetables that when mixed together with the spicy potatoes could quite possibly be the best. combination.
Very disappointing buffet

I took a friend to the lunch-time buffet at the House of Tibet so that she could sample several types of Tibetan food, with which she was unfamiliar. The restaurant was nearly empty (4 - 6 customers while we were there), but even so there was almost no choice of food at the buffet table - mainly spiced potatoes and dumplings. No one seemed to be checking on the dishes or actively replenishing them. The restaurant is very poor value when compared with several excellent Indian lunch-time buffets in the metropolitan area and, while I am keen to support our exiled Tibetan community, I shall not recommend it to my friends. Incidentally, my American Express card was not accepted, and anyone who thinks 1300 South is in or near Salt Lake's "theater district" does not know the city! (despite "Restaurant info" in left-hand sidebar).

This is a kind of restaurant I would bring an ex girl friend to. The staff could care less whether or not you are actually served. The food that is served I would not feed to my dog. We tried an array of dishes from the curries to the momo plates and found them flatly disappointing. The curry in particular was something akin to a Nepalese army ration, more similar to an old stew than a flavorful curry one would expect. Stay away unless you are a big fan of waiting and let down.
- Pros: interesting art and wall decorations
- Cons: disinterested service unsavory food
Lunch Buffet is AMAZING!!!

I've never been here anytime except the lunch hour. And I always get the buffet. It's simply AMAZING ! Spicy potatoes that are really spicy, GREAT dumplings, both vegie and meat, Love the rice, but the real draw is the sweet tea !!! Get more than one carfe and make sure to take the lid off when it arrives. It's as hot as liquid sun and feels just as good when you drink it. I can't get enough of it. Parking isn't a problem, and it's usually quiet enough that service is fantastic. The seating area is small, but not too crowded and best of all (if you're taking kids at least) is the display at the counter featuring all sorts of hand crafted items. Most proceeds from these items goes to help free Tibet. All in all a FANTASTIC place to go for lunch !!!
- Pros: Parking, Great Food, Steller Service
- Cons: Their hours are weird and difficult to manage unless you live downtown.

This is one of my favorite SLC restaurants! I often find myself craving thier vegetarian dumplings (Tse Momo's). Their lunch buffet is great, and Dinner is always satisfying. We always have leftovers and don't spend a lot to eat thier. Authentic and cute. It also very spicy. I love it!
- Pros: Location, Vegan/Vegetarian

This is a wonderful resturant. The food is unique, very tastey, and just overall fabulous. I go there quite often for the lunch buffet and for dinner. The food is cheap and they are vegan friendly.
- Pros: great food, very inexpensive
