More hype than it's worth. $$$
The Momofuku Ramen was OK, the broth seemed nicely balanced in taste. But I thought the noodles were too soft, and I like a slightly more cooked egg (vs. a practically raw yolk with little egg white). The pork was too fatty for me. Kimchi was a nice touch.
The pork buns were very disappointing. Again, the pork was too fatty, and overall it was kinda bland. Expensive too ($10 for two buns). Banh Mi Boys kick their butt in this area.
Lastly, service was terrible. I was there on Jan 3 around 1 pm, wasn't that busy. Sat at the noodle counter and it took forever to place my order. Doesn't help that the waiters are dressed in regular clothes, kept confusing them with dining customers. I didn't find them friendly or hospitable.
After spending $32.49 (including tax and tip) for the ramen and buns, I will take a pass.
