| - So many people said this place was no good or too pricey. I don't think it's cheap, but I think I got fair food for the price compared to other Ramen places. It's only fair to compare all these ramen places against each other given they are all starting around same time. I went to another one earlier this week.
At Momofuku, the portion was definitely bigger than the other two I recently went to. The Momofuku ramen also had two meats in there, the pork belly and some pulled pork. That's something that the other two did not have. So given these two things, putting a larger price isn't so bad.
The one feature of this ramen is really the egg. I was amazed how this poached eggs withstood pressure from my chopstick. I didn't try to puncture, but I was really trying to see what made it move around so easily as not to break. I don't know what it is. But what I like about eggs usually in ramen is i eat a bit of it, eat some noodles, then come back to it. But this one, since it was poached, I had to eat it immediately.
I don't think the broth is bad, but it definitely wasn't as good as some others.
I went on a Friday night, and didn't really have to wait. I guess the place is bigger with more seats, so didn't have the same wait anymore.
I also had this rice pudding with apple and black sesame cookie. The cookie was nice, the apple was nice in the pudding, but I like the pudding to be a bit my milky. The consistency was a bit odd in my opinion, kinda soft but not too soft.
I'd say this is like America's version of Ramen, bigger and more salt.
