ཕ་ཡུལ་ means homeland
It’s the word a Tibetan says for the place they’re from — home. Find the unmarked door between the shops on 37th Road, climb a steep staircase, and at the top there’s a warm room where the food tastes like it.
For the Tibetan and Himalayan families of Jackson Heights, Phayul was never a hidden gem to discover — it’s the kitchen table, one floor up. Everyone else is just welcome to climb the stairs too.
The food we cook for each other
Tibetan homestyle cooking with a love of Sichuan-pepper heat — dumplings, cold noodles, brothy soups, and stir-fries. This is a handful; the full menu runs long.

Laphing
Cold, slippery, hand-cut mung-bean noodles under a fierce garlic–chili sauce. The diaspora’s summer craving and the plate people come back for — order it the first time and you’ll understand.
Everything under $10
The food is exceptional, everything costs less than $10 — you could eat here every night for months and not get bored.The Infatuation
You climbed the stairs. Welcome home.
Under a carved gilt ceiling and warm lamplight, the tables peer down on the shopping throngs below. Full Himalayan bar — mojito, Himalayan margarita — and a room that has always belonged to the neighborhood.
