| - As a fan of Tibetan/Himalayan food, I really enjoyed my first visit to Norling a few months ago, so I took my friend there last night. I will admit that this second visit was not as good as the first, but I still enjoyed most of the food. The service was a little lacking, one water glass was not clean and it was sometimes hard to get the server's attention, but it had gotten very busy by then. The decor was very nice, a little fancier than other Tibetan places I have been to in Parkdale.
We had deep-fried beef momos, Phing-sha beef stew and chicken Thenthuk. The crispy momos were very good, especially with a little chili sauce. The stew was also very good; it had potatoes, vermicelli noodles and fungus (a black mushroom which my friend was very hesitant about, but at least tasted) with a bowl of rice on the side. The thenthuk was okay, it was basically a light chicken noodle broth, but nothing special. We finished with fried banana with ice cream, which was very sweet and tasty, and I had a cup of Tibetan butter tea as I always do. They also have a lot of Hakka dishes on the menu.
Overall the food was quite good, and only totalled about $35 for 2 people, and I was able to take home a little stew and a few momos. I would definitely recommend and return to try other dishes.
