Momofuku Noodle Bar

Momofuku Noodle Bar will always hold a special place in my heart as one of the first restaurants I’ve really gone to. It is because of this place that I’ve been addicted to David Chang’s rapid expansion of restaurants.
In the times that I’ve come here, my go to orders are always either the pork shank ramen; A deliciously spicy broth with pork and thicker ramen noodles; or the Momofuku Ramen, A well balanced ramen with a smoky and delicious broth. I do love the fact that the Momofuku Ramen is served with a poached egg instead of the hard boiled one. Poaching the egg lends a deeper richness to the delicious broth.
As for appetizers the first time I came here, I had the Momofuku pork belly buns which, IMO revitalized the neighborhood’s foray into steamed bun dishes. The bun, a classic Chinese steamed bun with the pork belly in between offers a delicate balance in flavors. The fat of the pork blending with the slight sweetness of the bun is not something to be missed. Most recently I had the brisket buns. The brisket was delicious, even rivaling the famous delis down the street.
Once again, as the first Momofuku restaurant, the Noodle Bar will always be a go to option for my random (frequent) ramen cravings.

Wow this place is super overrated and overpriced. The space is so cramped and nowhere to put your things other than the floor or your lap. My friend and I came right after work on a Thursday so we did not have to wait long to be seated.
We both ordered a Momofuku Ramen and Pork Buns. The pork buns are not on the menu but they’ll make it for you if you ask. The ramen was very disappointing… the noodles were hard and the broth was bland and oily. There was a decent amount of toppings but that was the only highlight of the ramen bowl. I can’t believe I paid close to $ 20 with tax and tip for this bowl of ramen. The two most important attributes I look for in ramen is flavorful broth and chewy noodles; Momofuku Noodle Bar failed me in both categories. The only reason why I did not give this place 2-​stars is because of the pork bun — it was perfection.
The wait staff also did not particularly look happy so it made the atmosphere a little awkward.
Overall disappointing experience. There are far better ramen options in Queens for far less $.

A bit overrated, really. I’ve been here three times and it’s usually because a friend begs me to take them. My usual is the Momofuku Ramen, which is pretty standard. There is nothing really flashy about it other than a poached egg rather than a hard-​boiled one. The pork belly is super tender despite the mediocrity and arguably the best part of the dish. For the price and serving size though, it really isn’t worth it. As my friend put it, you’re going to get a normal, human-​appropriate portion, but not $ 17 worth (I also noticed a price increase since the last time I was there approximately six months ago).
As for the buns, I can only speak of the pork and brisket. I’m kind of disappointed that they don’t have the pork anymore as it’s my favorite. Was it also worth the price? No, but it did make me want another. The brisket was alright, a bit tough to chew but decent. Same issue with pricing, but I wasn’t crying for another after finishing. This is definitely one of those places you visit to say you’ve been there. Other than that, there is way better ramen elsewhere.

Had a decent bowl of ramen here. We came here mid-​week around 6pm and were seated within a few minutes. It is a very crowded place and not just because there were a lot of people. The layout of the space is rather uncomfortable. There are several rows of communal tables with wooden stools and a bar along one side of the restaurant. They sure pack in the seats at the communal tables. There was nowhere to hang my coat, so I kept it on while eating and trying to keep my arms tucked in, so as not to bump into the people next to me. Needless to say, it was also tough getting into and out of our seats too. Though it was clean and I liked the simple wood theme of the place.
Space issues aside, we each got the Momofuku Ramen. As for me, I ordered it because I always feel compelled to order a restaurant’s namesake, but also because the other options didn’t sound that appealing to me.
Momofuku Ramen ($ 17) — pork belly, pork shoulder, poached egg:
I always start by tasting a little of the broth on its own. The broth is savory, but not rich. The noodles are more like an al dente egg noodle than the buckwheat variety. The pork belly & shoulder were fatty and delicious. The fattiness of the pork belly kind of melts in your mouth. But I could definitely use more of each, especially for such an expensive bowl of ramen.
The star of the bowl was the perfectly poached egg. Some people might prefer a more substantially cooked soft-​boiled egg. But I appreciate how smooth and silky the egg turned out. Whenever I poach eggs, it doesn’t come out looking so perfectly spherical. But I think his process is more of a slow-​cooked soft-​boiled egg to achieve that perfectly round shape and silky texture.
We also got a slushie drink with some sort of alcohol in it for about $ 6. It was peach-​flavored, I think. It was good, but very tiny. I needed about 4 of them to go with my meal.
Service was pretty good. Actually I’m impressed that the waiters carry around bowls of hot soup in small spaces.
Food is not bad. The ramen was quite good, though not the best I’ve ever had. Apparently they take reservations on their website. I’m not sure if that is specifically for the Fried Chicken meal, which seems awfully expensive and includes a ridiculously rigorous reservation protocol for about 4 servings of chicken.
Overall, I give it a 7.5÷10.

Ramen — it’s all the rage. I’m usually not a fan, but when I heard this place has a perpetual wait AND that they had recently added a vegetarian option, I figured why not give it a go!
1 hr wait as soon as they opened. My OG Unilocal friend Peter Y. put our names on the list while we enjoyed some happy hour drinks at Keybar down the street.
An hour later we got a text that our table was ready — the line was out the door so we had to squirm through the masses. Inside, the air was full of spice it was like breathing in pepper spray! It took a good few minutes to stop coughing. Ahem.
Unfortunately there were no veg appetizers available at that particular time. But they did have beer so there’s that. *thumbs up*
Now onto the ramen! So usually when a restaurant comes up with a vegetarian version of their signature dish, it’s a lamer, dulled down version with no flavor. That was absolutely not the case here. The Hozon ramen’s chick pea broth was so flavorful it was actually overwhelming. I love salt, and it was actually a touch too salty even for me. The noodles themselves were a good texture, and I loved the addition of the fried chick peas which remained crispy throughout the meal.
Despite the line out the door, the service was quick and efficient. Décor is modern and minimalist — long community tables serve the small restaurant well.
Would I go back? If I lived in the city, yeah. But considering I’m a Jersey girl that doesn’t get over there much, I probably will not return. But would I recommend this place? Heck yes — the food is worth the wait!

Nothing gets Asians more riled up than David Chang’s restaurants. Not politics, sports, nor family, but Momofuku’s offerings illicit an opinion from every end of the spectrum. This usually means the highs aren’t that high and the lows aren’t that low. A 3.5 rating sounds about right.
The Momofuku Ramen is good but not spectacular. The famous pork buns are tasty, but there are better out there. However, many receipes are inventive and inspiring. If Momofuku Noodle Bar had shorter waits, I would probably visit more often.

I’m a big Ramen fan and really loved all the desserts at Milk Bar, so figured Noodle Bar was a must try while in NYC. I’m not too picky when it comes to ramen but I have to say this is pretty up there on my list of favorites. I got the spicy miso chicken ramen which included an egg and spinach. I’m usually a bigger fan of getting pork based ramen but it was nice to try something new for a change. The flavors were good and most importantly, the noodles were really authentic and cooked to the perfect tenderness. My friends also got an order of the shrimp buns, which were so much tastier than I expected they’d be. I almost wish I had gotten an order for myself.
Beware that the chef doesn’t really allow substitutions, so you have to order everything as it appears on the menu. Overall it was a delicious meal, but I’d like to see how it compares to some of the other top rated ramen joints in NYC.

I’ve been going with a bunch of friends to the other momofuku large party orders, bo ssam and duck /​ribeye.
This was kind of not too impressive, The fried chicken was crispy and flavorful, but the white meat got dry really fast if left sitting. The sauce with the chicken was good for the traditional. Hossein, Jalapenos soy, and scallion and ginger. The thick skin wrap was kind of not useful in this wing style combo unless we cut the meat into thin slices then add the sauce to the wrap, and maybe a few veggies. Everyone just ate it separately and one by one. The spicy had a nice kick of flavor, nothing too hot. Overall it wasn’t bad but it wasn’t like crazy for the price. The other locations have had better platter overall, in presentation, and quantity.
This location is also very cramped and people kept bumping into us, while we had a reservation we got sandwich between two tight tables, making people and servers coming in and out a bit annoying.

I really woudn’t have come here if not for clients, for some reason they wanted to take my boss and us here for happy hour, the space is way to tight for any party larger than 3, we actually got seated by 6 o’clock, typically you would wait for at least half an hour.
We ordered shrimp, shiitake and sausage buns, they were mediocre. The spicy mayo was just ok, the combination was nothing new to me. We tried all of their ramen, I remember having the cold noodle before and it wasn’t bad, so I gave it another try, but everything came out so salty, throughout the meal all I heard was how salty everything was, I kind of lost my appetite after awhile.
The space is tiny, I understand that it’s an interesting business model, people in the Village come and go, it makes an interesting scene because of the glass doors, but in the middle of my meal I had to get up to let someone out and waited for another table to get seated. How ridiculous. The servers came to ask how everything was, but all they cared was whether we finished or not, she kept touching my bowl asking if I was done. I took only a few bites that made me want to give them back the bowl and table since I didn’t feel welcomed.
I won’t go back.

I’ve had better ramen in DC. But this is a decent joint. No room for coat or bag. Super crowded and more expensive than the best ramen in DC

I’m a fan of the Momofuku Milk Bar but when it comes to their ramen game, I’m not quite convinced I should be paying $ 17 a bowl.
I came here a little over two years ago in late 2013 and again in early 2016. Impressions remained the same. Not worth the $$$. This time around, I tried the Momofuku Ramen (unfortunately I don’t remember which ramen I had last time) and the chicken meatball bun.
The chicken meatball bun was pretty good. I remember I had the shrimp bun the first time and remembering that to be good too. But I rather give my money to Ippudo for their buns. Ippudo takes the cake with their pork belly. #drool
Now, the ramen. The noodles seemed to be a bit harder than I like from the other ramen shops. The broth is decent but nothing special and certainly not worth the $ 17 price tag (good ramen is all about the broth peeps!) The pork belly did melt in my mouth, which was probably the only thing really likeable about the dish. Other than that, eh. Wouldn’t find myself here if I was choosing the restaurant.
Service was fine. No complaints.

The momofuku ramen was okayyy. Not terrible but also not the best ramen I’ve ever had. The one good thing was that the ramen and pork buns came out decently hot. We waited an hour and a half for our seats on a sat night, which actually still beat waiting 2.5 hrs to get a seat at ippudo. But honestly, I would have rather waited for ippudo.
The spicy lychee was so yummy! It makes an awesome apéritif when mixed with sake.

Even on a Tuesday night, the lines are long by my consideration (say a dozen groups at the entrance) and the place was packed. But it wasn’t that bad of a wait at all because I think the hostess does an excellence job where when a group a patron leaves, people waiting get seated quickly. Wait time was about 30 – 40 minutes. Depending on number You are
The place is like a mid-​sized wooden cafeteria with communal dining at bench table packed right next to others dining. It’s busy.
The Spicy Momofuko Ramen came out in a pretty big bowl, nicely hot. The soup base is good, flavorful yet not overly so. The Ramen is done well, has a bit of firmness yet goes well with soup base and what accompanies in the bowl. If I had to really give a sincere honest opinion I would say though all in all a good bowl of Ramen, it’s overpriced at $ 17 for something so basic.
I guess it’s for the experience of being packed in and name sake.
Gets my stamp of Over-​priced but not necessarily my stamp of Over-​hyped.

It seems like David Chang’s Asian fusion empire is growing by the day, but this is where it all started — Momofuku Noodle Bar. Like everyone else, I’ve heard great tales about Momofuku’s ramen, buns, and the famed ssam sauce; as a SoCal resident, this is the first time I’ve had a chance to sample the menu myself.
I arrived 5 minutes before doors opened for dinner at 5:30pm on a Tuesday night. The line was already snaking down the sidewalk and when doors opened right on the dot, a steady trickle poured inside and the small restaurant was filled almost instantly, with a 45-​minute wait time. Dejected parties streamed out the door, but as I was a single diner, I got seated immediately. Reminder to self to always travel alone when on specific food missions.
I sat at the ramen bar, right in front of all the action. I watched as the executive chef barked orders to his line and enjoyed this front-​row access, as it really was a peek into a meticulously oiled machine at work behind the bar. Each employee at Momofuku is clearly aware of his/​her role and the team works as a seamless unit in ensuring the quality of each plate — both in flavor and presentation. Although it was a packed house and a frantic kitchen, the clearly practiced team never lost its cool.
Momofuku’s Pork Buns are what all pork buns should aspire to be. Truly, they were my favorite part of the meal bar none, and will be the standard I hold all future pork buns to. Sweet pillows with amazingly unctuous, fatty pork belly, crisp cucumbers, and hoisin — deceptively simple, but with all the complementary flavors and textures needed for a knockout dish. The hoisin adds a sweet contrast to the buns that Totto was missing and I loved it. Be sure to ask for the Pork Buns if you don’t see them on the menu — they will make it for you anyway.
The Momofuku Ramen is just okay and I won’t order it again in the future. The broth is thin and very earthy, tasting too much of dashi stock and not enough of pork for my liking. Also, the namesake bowl comes with a poached egg… A seasoned soft-​boiled egg is offered as an add-​on, which makes me sad since they actually execute very well on it, but no matter how big David Chang and his ego get, I will never forgive a poached egg in ramen. On another note, noodles are not as chewy as I prefer, but aren’t bad.
If there’s one thing David Chang knows and gets extremely right, it’s his pork. The pork belly in the buns was an absolute delight that melted away on my tongue and both the pulled pork and pork belly cuts in the ramen were perfectly tender while being just fatty enough. The man knows his meat and I can see why he’s amassed such a following. I know I will be back — traveling alone and for the pork buns!

This place was on the list that I had to try when visiting NYC, they open for dinner at 5:30pm, so we got there about 4:50pm and boy am I glad we got there early. Already a pretty good sized queue of people waiting for them to open so be sure to come early. Nice looking restaurant, super clean, modern and average sized place.
We were able to get seats at the counter in front of the cooks, so it was nice to watch them cook and be that well oiled machine on cranking out the food orders. Their menu changes weekly so we started with the Brisket Buns (Baos) as an appetizer. Oh man, quite delicious, perfect starter, the brisket was delicious, bun was super soft, tasty pickled veg inside as well. I easily could’ve eaten a few more of these. A few neighbors around us got the Shiitake Buns, that looked pretty delicious too.
As for the the mains, we both got the Momofuku Ramen Bowl: This is for the pork lovers, super porky broth, a piece of pork belly, shredded pork, nice poached egg with some veg and the delicious ramen noodles. Super flavorful, probably one of the better ramen bowls I’ve had and totally recommend it!
Service was great, quick to take our order, quick with water & drinks, quick on refills, very good on checking how you are doing and clearing plates etc. Staff is super efficient, friendly and quick without you feeling rushed even when it was a full house.
Pricing was on the higher side, but glad we came by to eat here and we left very satisfied.
Next stop… onto Momofuku Milk Bar!

So here is another overrated New York restaurant that people wait too long for. Me and my friend walked in for a weekend brunch and luckily didn’t wait long to be seated.
It’s crowded, well always. The servers weren’t really in a great mood which I guess is understandable because of the volume of the restaurant. They have a couple options for buns. I love the shrimp ones! Amazing combination! But the fried egg ones– not so much– ham was way too salty and smoky. So was the ramen… I had the spicy chicken– I couldn’t even eat any of the soup, it was sooo salty, the chicken was smokey but not too spicy.
They also have the dessert from the milk bar, which I’m not a fan of either. If you are looking for a ramen place, this is def not the best option/​value!

We went to Momofuku last Febuary, when it was horribly cold. It was in the negatives and we were pelted with snow. We got there about 45 minutes before the dinner rush and we’re lucky enough to stand inside the enclosed entry. Each minute, the line got longer and longer. Locals and tourists alike were willing to stand in the freezing weather for a good reason… hot soup!
The ramen and buns are so good here, especially when it’s cold. The broth was full of flavor and the noodles were perfect.
I ordered the chicken meatball buns. The fusion of east meets west was apparent here. The buns were filled with a generous sized chicken meatball, jalapeño, ice berg lettuce and a paprika mayo. Uhhhh YUM!

My goodness!!! Brisket, spicy cucumber, chicken wings and RAMEN!!! I was literally blown away with the food here. After dinner, i was hardly able to move:)
This is the menu we ordered to share and was YUMMY!!!
Well, if you’re hungry and don’t want to wait you should be there before the doors open. Consider at least an hour waiting list otherwise.
Plus, the menu is pricy. You should think about 50 $ per each in average. Well, is it worth it– for sure!!!
For the best RAMEN in town, i’d definitely suggest y’all to try this hot spot!

It pains me to write this slightly average review, because I love David Chang. I love his self-​deprecating, self-​flagellating reaction to suddenly finding himself on top of the NYC food scene (read his 2008 New Yorker profile for a hint at what I’m getting at), and I love his Milk bar and corn cookie, but … I didn’t love his Noodle Bar. I would want to go back in the miraculous event that I somehow manage to round up enough people for the fried chicken dinner. Otherwise, I’ll stick to Minca or even Kambi.
Having taken a gander at the reviews’ consistent declaration that the broth was too salty, I opted for the ginger scallion noodles with pickled mushrooms, cucumbers, and Napa cabbage.
If you like extremely chewy noodles, this ramen is for you — without any broth to soften it up over the course of the meal, the noodles needed something to keep them cohesive, yet separated enough for me to take manageable bites. Instead, they clumped together in a massive ball, so I did the unthinkable and stuck my chopsticks right in and lifted the fistful of noodles to my face. They were mixed in this garlicky, sesame oil combination that smelled heavenly when I first moved the bowl closer but proved a little much when I got it all over my face.
The famous pork buns are no longer on the menu but you can still order them for $ 6 a pop. Much like Momofuku’s various products, the crack pie soft serve was polarizing: I thought it tasted oddly salty while my roommate loved it.
Bottom line: the meal was good, but nothing blew me away and $ 30 for a bowl of noodles, one pork bun, and half of a tiny cup of soft serve left me a tad wistful.
A note on the layout: the restaurant is set up to maximize the kitchen area, while the bar and seating area seemed like an afterthought. At first, we were seated three inches away from a couple at one of the communal tables, before I asked for two empty seats at the bar near the kitchen. After we added our coats and bags to the hooks under the seats, we then had to scoot way in to make room for the busboys carrying heavy loads of dishes into the kitchen. It was no biggie, but I just thought I’d mention it in case anyone is mildly claustrophobic.
Shout-​out to the lady chef absolutely hauling ass at the end of the line and pushing through bowl after bowl. I admired her forearms of steel as she dunked each bundle of noodles into the scalding water and then shook them dry.

Unfortunately not impressed with the ramen here at all. Several immediate qualms: 1) Too little broth. This left the noodles kind of sticky and dry and not warm enough, which was definitely a problem. 2) Noodles were way too thick. This prevented them from absorbing flavor, which made them taste too carb-​y to be truly enjoyable. 3) The egg was poached. I like my traditional soft boiled egg in my ramen.
There were a few things that I thought were pretty unique and I enjoyed: I ordered the spicy miso and thought the smoked chicken was pretty good. Also really liked the seaweed. I think if you’re more of a traditional kind of ramen person like me, then maybe opt for more authentic ramen joints rather than this noodle bar. If you’re up for some experimenting though, you could give this place a try but don’t expect to me blown away. Plus: definitely felt unreasonably pricey (although the bowls were pretty huge/​filling).
Ambiance wise, this place is CRAMMED. Expect to literally sit elbow to elbow with your neighbors.

«Le meilleur ramen de nyc»
Oui, j’avoue c’est très très bon, les prix sont abordables et la nourriture exquise, donc rien que pour ça je vous le recommande, mais mon seul petit bémol est le fait que les reservations sont impossibles. On attend donc quand même une petite demi-​heure dehors (l’endroit est vraiment très petit), avant d’avoir une table.
Ce qui est au final assez courant à NYC quand on connait les habitudes des américains à sortir diner presque tous les soirs de la semaine! Né faites juste pas comme moi et n’y allez pas l’hiver, car attendre dehors 30min pendant un hiver new yorkais, c’est dire adieu à toutes vos extrémités (oui TOUTES)!

Je n’ai pas particulièrement aimé ma soirée dans ce restaurant.
Déjà, et comme quasiment tous les restaurants à NYC, pas de réservation, et comme c’est un restau à la mode, on se frappé les 30 minutes d’attente. Ensuite, on nous installe, les serveurs sont aimables, rien à dire à ce sujet, et on prend notre commande. Puis là on a attendu presque une heure pour trois bols de ramens. C’était vraiment beaucoup trop long pour trois bols de pâtes. En plus, la clim tournait à fond et il faisait franchement froid dans le restaurant. Pour finir, c’est ultra bruyant, et il est donc impossible d’avoir une discussion sans finir en train de hurler pour qu’on puisse s’entendre.
C’est vraiment dommage parce que les ramens (on a pris trois Momofuku ramens) étaient particulièrement bons. Mais tout le reste fait pencher la balance du mauvais côté. Et puis bon, faut pas pousser, c’est juste un bol de ramen quoi. Ce n’est pas non plus de la grande gastronomie japonaise. Donc à mon goût, beaucoup de bruit pour pas grand chose avec ce restaurant.

n’hésitez pas à prendre des entrées à partager à plusieurs, elles sont délicieuses! Sinon les ramens sont en effet très très généreux mais vraiment bons et très bien executés!
Par contre la cuisine ouverte a un défaut: on sent le bouillon en en sortant!

Super resto japonais au coeur de l’East Village. La meilleur soupe pour moi est la Momofuku Ramen dedans il y a des nouille bien sur !! Il y a aussi des chose assez … étrange, on né sais pas trop ce que sais mais c’est très bon. En revanche si vous prenez cette soupe et que vous n’êtes pas un gros mangeur il vaut mieux la partager à 2 parce quelles est très très grosse. Les seuls inconvénient est qu’il y a souvent une longue queue et que c’est très bruyant et qu’il faut presque hurler pour parler à ses potes mais l’ambiance et top !!!

Super lecker. Keine Location für Ruhe und das ungestörte Gespräch. Laut und trendy und schnell. Von der langen Schlange nicht abschrecken lassen — es geht schneller als man meint, und die Schlangen-​Bändigerin hat die Reihenfolge der Gäste besser im Griff, als man dies als unbedarfter deutscher Tourist glauben würde. Alle kommen ran!
Sehr leckere Chicken-​wings und Nudel-​Bowls (Ramen). Scharf MEINT scharf. yummy!

L’un des établissements à faire si vous êtes de passage à New York.
Spécialisé dans les soupes ramen le Momofuku revisite les plats traditionnels japonais.
Commandez une entrée de types chicken wings ou beignets au porc et en plat une soupe ramen. Voilà!

Momofuku Noodle Bar est l’un des restaurants-​concept de David Chang, également implanté à Sydney et Toronto.
Le Noodle Bar est centré sur la petite restauration japonaise et asiatique, type ramen, bun, bowl, tapas et fried chicken, mais celle-​ci est présentée dans un cadre hipster, c’est-à-dire bar en bois clair, béton brut au sol, large cuisine ouverte, dégustation au comptoir. Cependant, né vous y méprenez pas, comme dans la plupart des restaurants à NY, vous né vous sentez pas jugés en entrant, on vous installe et on vous sert presque immédiatement (s’il n’y a pas de temps d’attente, moi je n’en ai pas eu un soir de semaine!), vous êtes plus là pour manger que pour voir et être vu. L’espace est équitablement divisé en deux, entre le personnel au bar et en cuisine qui s’affairent, dégageant beaucoup d’énergie, et les mangeurs sur les tables en bois.
Etant végétarienne, j’ai opté pour le ramen «ginger scallion noodles — pickled shiitakes, cucumber, cabbage», donc un bol de nouilles recouvertes par des shitakés marinés, des concombres marinés (délicieux), du choux mariné (pas façon kimchi, c’était plus doux), des oignons nouveaux et du gingembre frais. Une feuille d’algue nori surplombe le tout.
Verdict: c’est très bon, bien frais, des ingrédients de qualité au goût franc, même si la marinade, très réussie, contribue à rehausser les goûts. La portion est suffisante pour être calée, sans être non plus très copieuse.
Je n’ai pas été totalement bluffée car c’est relativement classique finalement, mais bien exécuté, frais et de qualité.
J’ai payé aux alentours de 14 dollars le bol (hors pourboire), ce qui est un peu cher pour un ramen, mais convenable vu la qualité du plat. Le cadre est assez sympa, mais pas non plus le genre d’endroit où l’on a envie de rester des heures (plus fonctionnel que cosy).

Phänomenale Ramen-​Nudelsuppen zum super Preis. Auch mehr als 4 Jahre nach Eröffnung steht man noch an, bis man einen Platz an einem der Gemeinschaftstische zugewiesen bekommt, aber das LOHNT SICH! Wir essen gerne Momofuku Ramen mit Schweinebauch, Frühlingszwiebeln, Kohl und einem weichgekochten Ei. Das einzige No-​Go im Momofuku: Der Wein (aber da war ich wohl selber schuld, was kann man von einem Riesling aus Brooklyn wohl erwarten?; o))

Das erste Mal war ich 2011 im momofuku, da es mit so gut geschmeckt hat, musste ich dieses Jahr wieder hin ;)
Das Essen wird frisch zubereitet man kann den Köchen dabei zuschauen.
Sehr empfehlen kann ich die pork buns, diese waren wirklich köstlich!
Das einzige was mich stört ist, dass man nicht reservieren kann, unter Umständen wartet man über eine Stunde auf einen Sitzplatz.

Si vous aimez les ramens de la rue Sainte-​Anne les amis, je vous recommande le Momofuku!
1) Parce que c’est David Chang le Chef (THE trendy Chef du moment), il a 3 autres restaurants dans le quartier, mais celui-​ci est le plus abordable, et on y mange tres bien.
2) je recommande les «pork buns» qui n’ont pas tout a fait la meme forme originale (comme les «kalapow”/“buns”/“brioches»… tellement de noms pour la meme petite boule!). Ici, la forme est differente, tout comme la recette! Et, c’est DE-​LI-​CIEUX!!!
3) Of COURSE, le ramen (bien que je suis une huge fan point#2)
Vous vous en sortirez pour 25 $ max avec ces deux plats, et les portions sont genereuses. (american version of food) ;-)

Le quartier m’a semblé un peu glauque en soirée.
Par contre une fois à l’intérieur, j’ai bien vite oublié.
Un bon noodle bar avec un service très sympa
Bien sûr les portions sont au format US.
D’accord, c’est pas très couleur locale mais

bei meinem letzte new york besuch haben wir hier einen stop gemacht udn es war einfach ohne worte wahnsin was die jungs da an rahmen supen zaubern und in was für einer qualtität die da menge schieben. das fleisch war auf den punkt, das gemüse frisch, die brühe super abgeschmeckt und einfach alles stimmte. die haben noch zwei weitere läden, einer davon hat gerade erst aufgemacht. wenn ich ich so schreiben aheb lust mir wieder ein ticket zu buchen
