| - Being that it recently opened, this restaurant has already generated quite a bit of buzz. It comes at no surprise as this is acclaimed chef David Chang's first west coast implant of his popular Momofuku restaurants located in NYC, DC, Toronto and Sydney.
When we arrived early for our reservations, they gave us no fuss. We were seated moments later and our server Omar was friendly and knowledgeable in regards to the menu. He also assisted us with drink orders promptly. The manager even stopped by to say hello, which was a nice touch.
We were presented with some smoked salt & lime shishito peppers and the citrus cured fluke crudo with pickled plum and nori, which were both amazing.
The crudo really shined with bright acidity from the lime and it exhibited a soft, supple mouthfeel. A pleasant start to our culinary adventure ahead.
Next up were the highly anticipated noodle dishes, which included the house favorite, pork ramen and chilled spicy noodles with pork.
Omg, the noodles for both dishes were cooked perfectly with an irresistibly chewy mouthfeel and had the "eyes rolling behind my head" sort of feeling. Btw, that's a good thing, a really good thing!
Coupled with an irresistibly flavorful broth and beautifully fatty pork belly, the ramen dish was a winner in every sense of the word and is deserving of its current fame. The chilled noodles with Sichuan sausage, Thai basil and candied cashews were no also ran imo. All the components worked wonderfully in this dish. From the crunchy textures of the cashews to the deep permeating flavors coursing through each and every strand of bright emerald green noodle, it had me pining for seconds. Be warned, however it is indeed spicy, but nothing you can't handle, right? ;)
For dessert we enjoyed the famous crack pie with some cake truffles on the side. Both desserts were sheer bliss but undoubtedly cranked my blood glucose levels way up!
That being said, we high tailed it over to neighboring Milk Bar for even more sweets. Hey, I'm in Vegas, this city is the definition of decadence, right? So when in Rome...but that's another review altogether.
Overall, i had a fantastic dining experience here and If our lunch experience was any indication of the restaurant's entire menu, I have no doubt in my mind I will return soon. From quick and friendly service to clever twists on Asian style comfort classics, this is a stop you don't want to miss when strolling through sin city.
Happy Eats!
