| - This was to the centerpiece of a food trip to Toronto. Being a Anthony Bourdain fan, and Korean, I was fully aware of the reputation of the Chef and the Momofuku brand. However, having read the reviews here, I went in with moderate expectations. I started out with the peach beer and it was light and refreshing. Then moved on to the famous pork buns. They as great as advertised. Simple in presentation, but well executed. the pork dissolves in you mouth. We also ordered some ramen and although I thought it was a very nice version of ramen, it was still just a bowl of noodles. To end the meal, I splurged and got the fired chicken with caviar. I found the chicken was crispy, juicy, sweet and delicious. However, barely tasted the caviar and it is not worth $80. Overall, it was not as bad as people say, and I will be going back for the pork buns and beer ONLY. Also, if you have been dying to try this place in NYE and have been unable to get a reservation, this is a nice alternative. I was able to reserve a Saturday at 7 two weeks before my trip.
