All I will say is that in my opinion, if shinwa has space you should head there. But who knows it's been a while since I have come here and perhaps it has improved signifcantly!

We had steamed chicken momo, beef hakka noodles and shrimp-chicken tom yum soup at Hakka Nation and loved each of the dishes. The portion was more than enough and the girl who served us was very polite and nice. Would love to visit again.

Their manchurian fish is my favourite in fact it’s the best fish in the world. You must try it to experience it yourself

I recently visited this restaurant, and it was a great experience. The momos were fresh, soft, and perfectly steamed, with flavorful fillings and a spicy chutney that made them even better. The soup was warm, comforting, and well-seasoned, making it a perfect match with the momos. The place was clean and cozy, and the service was quick and polite. Thank you so much Sanjit. Portions were satisfying, and the prices were reasonable for the quality. Overall, it’s a great spot for anyone who loves momos and hot soup, especially on a chilly day. I would definitely recommend it and would love to visit again.

Food was above average, but had an experience of kausher salt that did not mix in proportion for the fried rice I ordered. So it felt more salty at some points of the dish.
