| - I heard alot of hype about this place but my overrall experience was interesting. Momofuku definitely stands out and has a unique twist to all their food. This is not a sushi/sashimi place. And I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone who likes to stick to safe choices- burgers, sandwiches, sushi etc. I heard it was mainly known for its ramen, however they did not have the pork belly ramen on the dinner menu so we were all confused. But when we asked they said they do offer the pork belly ramen...So..a little confused as to why a popular dish wasn't on the menu? And they didn't have alot of choices of ramen either. Most of us ordered the pork belly ramen and ordered lots of appetizers:
-Pork belly ramen: The broth was a little salty, the pork belly was very soft and easy to chew. The noodles were okay, there was nothing "wow" about it. The buns tasted bland.
-Pork belly buns- Again the pork belly was tender and good, but eating it with the bun was just a fail. The pork belly was too big to eat with the bun, it would've been easier if the meat was cut in smaller pieces maybe?
- Shrimp buns: Shrimp buns were a little easier to eat but again it kept falling out as we tried taking a bite. The shrimp was good though with a nice sweet sauce.
-Spicy rice cakes: The rice cakes are actually fried and diced into squares. It doesn't taste like korean spicy rice cakes but it a sweet slight soy sauce type of flavor that was pretty good.
-Hamachi: THIS was probably my favorite small plate. It was soft and the cucumbers really complimented the fresh taste. I wish they gave abigger serving of the hamachi. It's $24 for a tiny plate!
-Shishito Peppers: When I got a waft of the peppers it gave off that feeling where you can feel the spiciness with your eyes. But when I took a bite, I didn't taste anything! It felt like I was eating steamed peppers, and I couldn't taste the lime or saltiness. My boss disagreed, but must be just my tastebudz.
-Crispy Potatoes: My second favorite item on the menu. So good. These were basically roasted potatoes but grated cheese and green onions. Nicely seasoned and crispy on the outside, soft and hot on the inside. I wished I was eating this with breakfast, not ramen...
There's a couple more plates we ordered but I didn't try them.
Overrall the food was interesting. My gripe about this place is that the food is unique but these small plates would be great compliments to other foods that they don't offer or are too expensive. The crispy potatoes would be great with the rotisserie prime rib, if only that wasn't $72...
Service was prompt and efficient. The waiter was attentive and came around to always refill our waters which I really appreciated. Most convenient part was the lazy susan. However the prices here are just mad. $14 for a small pickle plate? Nah. Will I come back here? Probably not, but I'm glad I tried it.
