| - I've read so many great things about David Chang and I am so glad I finally had the opportunity to eat at one of his restaurants. I stopped in for lunch and I had such a satisfying experience. My server Josh was awesome -- attentive, yet not intrusive.
I started with the spicy cucumbers (togarashi, toasted almond, scallion). Until today, I did not know it was possible to be "wowed" by the humble cucumber. With each bite, I kept thinking - this cucumber is amazing!
Next I tried the shiitake bun (hoisin, scallion, cucumber). One of the servers brought over ssam sauce and recommended trying it with the bun. Thanks for the tip! I enjoyed the ssam sauce so much I had to purchase a bottle to take home.
The star of my lunch, however, was the pork ramen (pork belly & shoulder, slow poached egg). So good! I lingered over this bowl of yum for quite some time. I did not want the meal to end. But I was stuffed so had to say goodbye. (Next time I want to try the dessert!)
Being the forgetful person that I am, I left my ssam sauce in the restaurant. Someone from the restaurant ran down the escalator to catch me. My hero!
Bottom line: eat here. You won't be disappointed.
