The new version of Da-Pow, a well-loved dumpling place, invites you with a warm and fun vibe. The place, which relocated to Mid Baneshwor not so long ago, has retained its original comics theme while incorporating modern aesthetics in its decor.
Those who had been to the restaurant’s first location at Gairidhara would have noted its fresh look, good lighting and comfortable furnishing. The latest addition to the furniture—and a welcome one—are the lazy susans. Now, when you visit Da-Pow with a group, you can help yourself with the food items on the rotating table.
In the food department, Da-Pow continues to serve its toothsome specials. Da Bao dumplings served with the signature chutney dip of churpi, tomato and chili oil remain the customers’ favorite. If you are visiting for the first time, we recommend you to start with corn dogs before moving on to a heavier dish like Da Bao. Alternatively, you could try Open Bao, a taco-like dish with smoky pork belly wrapped with steamed dough, instead of Da Bao. Boiled dumplings cooked in a chicken broth, which comes with two pieces of Ting momos on the side, are also highly recommended.
The only thing missing at the new place is the comic book collection itself.
But the establishment owner assures us that the comics will soon be available. For now, the customers will have to make do with the pages and strips framed on the restaurant walls while they wait for their food.
