Pemako Kitchen, nestled at 2416 Lake Shore Blvd W in Etobicoke, is a delightful Tibetan restaurant that has quickly gained a reputation for its warm ambiance and authentic cuisine. Customers rave about the generous portion sizes and the captivating decor, featuring Tibetan art and portraits of the Dalai Lama, all contributing to a truly immersive dining experience. The standout dish, according to many, is the steamed chicken momos—juicy, flavorful, and consistently praised for their moist meat stuffing.

Beyond momos, the menu offers a unique glimpse into the Tshangla culture with dishes like beef tripe and pork with cheese—options that have impressed diners such as Sebastian Vasile, who notes their exquisite taste. Avery Yurchi’s first-time experience, enhanced by a complimentary dish for her birthday, showcases the welcoming nature of the staff. The friendly service and cozy environment make Pemako Kitchen a charming hidden gem that takes pride in its roots.

When I told them it was my first time trying Tibetan food and that it was my birthday, they gave us a dish for free!! Everything was so delicious and the portion sizes were huge. Would definitely eat here again

Incredible good experience. This is a small but cozy restaurant, very nicely decorated in Tibetan ways and with Dalai Lama portraits. The food is quite unique as it belongs to Tshangla culture from Pemako region of Tibet and Eastern Bhutan. Food is very different from neighboring India's. I had beef tripe, even better than tripe cooked by Italians and a food from Bhutan: pork with cheese. Highly recommended

The perfect steamed chicken momos will always be juicy right at the first bite and that’s exactly what Pemako Kitchen nails every single time! The meat stuffing is never dry and that’s a surprise to your taste buds! Which is also why they are the best place in town for momos. Unbelievably good! To top that try their hand pulled noodles – I am literally drooling typing this review. Go see for yourself! Trust this review you won’t regret it! You couldn’t ask for better food especially on a rainy evening!

enjoyed my solo date at this cute hidden gem in south Etobicoke. My experience was made better by the lovely service from the Tibetan staff- will be coming back to try other dishes on the menu

Delicious food, friendly staff, amazing experience!! We ordered the pork chili, steam momos, and the beef soup. Our favourite was the pork chili :D it had the perfect balance of crispiness and softness, it was so good!! not too spicy too :)) the amount of food we ordered was surprisingly cheap too! Will for sure come back again!

I got takeout at lunch. I ordered the beef thali. The person at the counter was pleasant. They had my order ready in about 15 minutes. Flavour was phenomenal. Price was reasonable for the amount of food I received. I’ll definitely be back! I highly recommend Pemako Kitchen.

I might be a little late to the game writing this review, but better late than never! I’ve never had Tibetan food quite like what I experienced at Pemakoe Kitchen. Every dish was full of flavor, made with care, and brought a sense of home and comfort that’s hard to find anywhere else. What truly sets this place apart isn’t just the incredible food—it’s the people. The warmth and hospitality of the staff made the entire experience even more special. You can feel the love they put into every plate and every interaction. Whether you're new to Tibetan cuisine or you’ve grown up with it, this place is an absolute gem. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic, soulful food served with heart.

OMG the beef patty dish (can't remember name) was incredibly delicious. Many other good momo dishes but the patty was the beat yet.
