| - A few things to note before reading this review:
1) I hardly ever leave restaurants reviews because I typically don't care enough to spend the time or energy
2) I am obsessed with food
3) I am extremely picky and have numerous food allergies/restrictions (mostly raw vegan, gluten free, severe lactose intolerance)
Momofoku's food and dining experience is 112% the best I've had in the last year. As a huge fan of David Chang and his food philosophy, I had high expectations--Momofoku exceeded them.
As I mentioned above, I'm vegan with many food allergies. Although the menu isn't necessarily known for being gluten free or vegan, the kitchen was extremely accommodating and even created 2 specialty dishes, one of which is without a shadow of a doubt the best thing I've eaten in a VERY long time.
As someone who's worked as a server, I rarely approach a dining experience with a critical eye when it comes to service, but Momofoku's hospitality is impossible NOT to mention. From the hostess stand to the multiple servers who took care of us throughout the night, I truly felt right at home--a difficult feat in a place as over-the-top and trashy as Vegas.
One server in particular, Mags, was incredible. As I mentioned, I try not to be too critical when I eat out (because I know from experience how challenging it is to be a waiter,) but I also know amazing service when I see it. Mags is definitely top 5 waiters I've ever had the pleasure of dining with.
Thank you all for an incredible experience. You truly made our trip very special and one we'll never forget!
