Not knowing that Momofuku's upper floor Shoto was a different thing, I went in expecting $$$$ price rages, but it ended up being somewhat accessible. Sitting right in front of the kitchen where everything was prepared, it looked like refined cuisine with a sense of efficiency. I thought the ramen was alright. Good execution but not special enough to justify the price and hype. The pork belly bun was nice and melt-in-your-mouth as well.
The atmosphere's cool and trendy, and it's good food. But I feel like I'm paying for a lot of the periphery elements that I care less of.
