River Cafe 415 River Street, Santa Cruz, CA 95060

"Just discovered this place under the new ownership when we stopped by Patagonia. The new owners are so nice and the food is delish. We got the chicken dumplings (momos) and lentil soup, both were excellent. Prices are super reasonable. Can’t wait to go back and try everything else on the menu! Love places like this where you’re in and out. Such a great find!"

"Very cute shop! You can tell that the owner puts a lot of care into preparing the food. I got the chicken momos, which I would definitely get again. They're steamed dumplings served with a tasty, somewhat spicy dipping sauce. The portion size was perfect for me - it doesn't leave you feeling heavy afterwards. Next time I plan to try the "dry noodles"."

"Love this informal little place. The food is really good with interesting choices. Love the MoMos. Salad was excellent. Super fresh. Great dressing. The patio is outstanding. Beautiful trees. But the people who run the place are just delightful. My new favorite."

"We randomly found this cute restaurant. We ordered the yogurt and the dry noodles with tofu. The noodles were delicious. The owner was so nice. Highly recommend!"

"If I could give 10 stars I would! I cannot describe how good this place is and this was such an accidental discovery. This is an unassuming Tibetan restaurant which makes incredibly delicious momos and coffee amongst other things! The owner was genuinely kind hearted to give us more amounts of food and beverages than we had paid for. Plus the sitting area makes the food even more worth it eating there. Can't recommend highly enough."
