| - I came to Momofuku Noodle Bar for lunch after hearing about it a few days ago. I arrived close to the end of the lunch rush, but it was still quite busy and I had to wait 15 minutes for a table for 1. I suggest making a reservation if you don't want to wait.
The menu was short, which made ordering quite easy. As much as I wanted to try the traditional pork ramen, I'm not a fan of pork belly. Therefore, I decided to try the chicken ramen. The food arrived very quickly and service was great at the beginning, but more about that later.
The ramen broth was pretty spicy, but it subsided over time. The broth had a hearty flavor, which I enjoyed. What I liked the most was the egg. It was so smooth and perfect. The chicken also had a hearty flavor. The chicken definitely tasted like they were marinating in something, since the flavor reminded me a lot of a Thai curry. The noodles were perfectly chewy.
I was seated on the 2nd floor and when it came time for the bill, there were no servers around. They were all on the 1st floor. Eventually, I just walked downstairs and paid the hostess.
The food was a solid 4, service was a 3.
