Thukpa exceeded every expectation

I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Thukpa made with real commitment to dried yak cheese and technique. The simply seasoned and clean result was more complex and satisfying than anything I'd had before.

dal bhat power for 24 hours is a trekking mantra reflecting how central the dish is to Nepali daily life. The a Sherpa kitchen in the mountains was exactly right for this kind of eating. butter tea was offered as the natural choice and it elevated everything. When a dish you thought you knew surprises you completely, that's worth celebrating. Five stars without hesitation.
