Wanted to go out for a special occasion, but still wanted a casual dining experience. Unfortunately, I listened to the hype more than the reviews on here.
I respect David Chang as a chef, however there's definitely a lack of direction or overview here. The food was very underwhelming. I've had the same kind of dishes at other (significantly cheaper) places and had a much better experience. As far as I'm concerned, there was nothing new or exciting about the dishes, so I'm not sure what warrants the premium prices? It's the Momofuku brand.
I'm giving it a 3 as the food was still edible and mostly tasted pretty good. We had 2 ramens and some buns. I found the food to be over salted, and the ramen had a one-dimensional taste.
Momofuku, you can be so much better! Don't rest on your laurels.
