Definitely a disappointment and underwhelming. After visiting the Shangri La many times I always thought I'd visit Momofoku wedged on the side of the hotel thinking it would be a high quality affair as is known of this hotel brand. After all, the glass facade and location is inviting.
However, after choosing to eat at the noodle bar instead of Daisho as I am not a steak eater and that is apparently their take on a stake house, I picked the noodle bar.
For starters we entered and I had to sit on my big Canada goose jacket since there was nowhere to put my coat. Me and my husband had to be wedged between two parties with everyone's coats everywhere - talk about suffocating!
The server was prompt thankfully, we ordered our food and the noodles were nothing special at all. A hole in the wall could do better. The buns are just okay.
We didn't hate our experience but it was crowded and the food didn't compensate either so nothing as I had expected it to be. I'm surprised it's a part of the Shangri La - not sure how the other parts of it are but not convinced enough to enter the glass box anytime soon. Overhyped.
