rev:text	I've been to Noodle Bar in NYC multiple times. Its impossible not compare the two restaurants. Atmosphere: Its a cavernous two story space. Not cozy, open, airy and minimal, everything that the New York location isn't. I missed the low ceilings, narrow storefront and hussle and bustle. Service: Was great. Granted that I knew our server through friends. Service was friendly, prompt and informative. We ordered a dish on her recommendation and it was fantastic. People have complained about no coat racks and they now have them, they are drawers under stairs. Servers take your coat and store them for you. Food: We ordered three 4 appetizers and ramen (there was three of us). Way too much food. Up first was the Rice Cakes ($11), basically like gnocchi made of super sticky rice in a sweet & spicy sauce with sesame seeds and scallions. Really good. Up next was a sweetbreads dish ($13) (special for the night). Super tasty, they were not battered and fried. On a bed of rice with some sort of sauce (sorry, I can't remember the details). Pork Buns ($9) were also ordered, pretty close to NYC though the pork wasn't hot enough. Kimchi ($6) although really good, skip it, its a huge portion, we didn't even get through have of it. Ramen: We all went with the classic Momofuku Ramen ($16). Noodles were a bit overdone and a bit mushy. Egg was perfectly cooked. Shredded pork shoulder was delicious, pork belly was good but had a huge amount of fat on it. The major letdown was the broth. It was not the same as New York. Missing was the smokiness to the broth. It was overly salty, kind of sweet and really didn't stand out from any of the other great Ramen shops in Toronto (I prefer Guu Kiton's broth). Overall: It was good. I think the concept of opening all three restaurants in one space was a mistake. From a management perspective it makes total sense. But fundamentally the Momofuku experience is completely lost in the Toronto space. They don't seem to be reaching the same clientele as in New York as well. The restaurant was full of Bay Street Bankers and financial district workers, whereas in NY, its a very young, Soho/East Village crowd. Actual Rating: 2.5
