| - This is one of my all-time favorite spots in Toronto, and I think is worth the drive from Buffalo. I don't understand all of the low reviews! It's important to note that in order to get in in a timely fashion, you HAVE to make a reservation. Over the past several years, I have made reservations and always been seated before or on-time. I have always had excellent customer service from the staff and never a long wait for my food.
As far as the food goes, above everything else, you HAVE to order a pair of the pork buns! Those fluffy steamed buns and the tender slices of pork belly...I can't. It's a magical few bites that you will thank me for suggesting later. Also, if the beef brisket bun happens to be on the menu that evening, that's very delicious and tender as well! And there's a pickle in there!
My other favorite classic staple to order is the pork ramen. Again with the tender pork belly slices but also with a poached egg, delicious broth, it's like a classic noodle dish with a modern twist. It fills you up without leaving you TOO full, so you can still go out and enjoy the rest of your evening.
There is also an extensive beer and wine and cider list, and a little bar upstairs! And don't forget to check out the Milk Bar and take a Crack Pie home.
Momofuku is honestly more than just a resturant, it's an experience...and one you do not want to pass up.
