  • David Chang, is the cult of cool in the food world! He's the chef and owner of the famous Momofuku restaurant brands, has brought his celebrity to Toronto and I, like many others, looked forward to experiencing the hype and excitement around the brand and trying the famed Momofuku since it landed in the gorgeous new Shangri-La Hotel over the summer time. We decided to quench our thirsts on their Seven Spice sour slushy - it was a very refreshing drink with a very unusual smokiness and kick of flavour from the combination of yuzu, lime, sake and togarashi which is a Japanese chilli powder. Don't slurp it too fast or you may get a brain freeze!! OK so let's get to the food: For our appetizers, we had their pork steam buns which came almost instantly after we put in the order. Fatty pork belly served with scallion and hoisin sauce in a pillowy fresh bun. They were good but there was nothing special to it. For mains: We definitely wanted to try their signature Momofuku Ramen, it's definitely a big portion so if you're not too hungry, a group of two can definitely share it. It was a brothy bowl of chewy noodles, with pork belly, fish cake, scallions, kimchi, nori and a poached egg. The broth was subtle and a bit too bland for me. We also tried their chilled spicy noodles - this was a very unusual noodle bowl that came with fresh crispy spinach, candied cashews and sichuan sausages that were like little meatballs over cold ramen noodles. It was definitely spicy with the XO sauce and spices that were in the mix and we started sweating after a few crunchy bitefuls. I'm glad we tried the dish but I would definitely order something in it's place the next time around. Finally we did try their pear rice pudding as a dessert and this was a very unique flavour of fermented rice - rich and sticky and an odd sour but fruity aftertaste. All in all, this experience was just average and I think that Chang's reputation does a disservice to the restaurant as with many others, we come in with extraordinary high expectations for an amazing culinary experience and set ourselves and the restaurant up for disappointment. If i'm seeking comfort and am in the area, i would pop in again but I wouldn't go out of my way as there are plenty of other ramen joints around the city that foot the bill for those cravings
