Mr.Tenzin Momos, Sushi & More

At Mr.Tenzin Momos, Sushi & More, we bring a unique fusion of Himalayan and Japanese flavors to the heart of Aarau. Located on Tellistrasse, our restaurant has become a beloved spot for locals craving authentic momos alongside fresh, carefully prepared sushi. With a 3.9-star rating from over 550 reviews, we’ve built a reputation for delivering bold tastes and hearty portions at a fair price point of 20–30 CHF per person. Whether you're dining in, picking up, or ordering delivery, our kitchen is always busy steaming, frying, and rolling to order.

What makes our menu special is the marriage of two distinct culinary traditions. Our momos—those delicate dumplings filled with spiced meat or vegetables—are inspired by the streets of Tibet and Nepal. Meanwhile, our sushi bar honors the precision and simplicity of Japanese cuisine. Every dish is made from scratch using fresh ingredients, and we take pride in offering a dining experience that feels both adventurous and comforting. From the first bite of a crispy fried momo to the last piece of a salmon roll, you’ll taste the care we put into every plate.

Our Menu & Signature Dishes

The menu at Mr.Tenzin is designed to take you on a journey. Start with our famous steamed or fried momos—choose from fillings like chicken, beef, or cheese, all wrapped in thin, handmade dough and served with house-made dipping sauces. Our Peking duck momos are a standout, blending Chinese aromatics with the classic dumpling format. On the sushi side, we offer a rotating selection of nigiri, sashimi, and maki rolls. The fresh salmon and tuna are customer favorites, and we also prepare creative fusion rolls that borrow hints of spice from the Himalayas. Don't miss our combination platters, which let you sample both momos and sushi in one satisfying meal.

Momos: Steamed, Fried & More

Our momos are the heart of the restaurant. We make the dough daily and fill each one by hand. The steaming process keeps them tender and juicy, while our fried version adds a delightful crunch. The cheese momo, in particular, has earned a loyal following for its gooey, savory center.

Our sushi bar is stocked with high-quality fish and seasoned rice prepared in the traditional style. We focus on clean flavors and beautiful presentation. Try our signature rolls or request a custom platter for a special occasion.
