DONT BELIEVE THE HYPE!
went here on family and friends day (pre opening night)... thankfully the meal was free! when we arrived we did not have a warm welcome like you would expect on a family and friends event. the restaurant was empty and the host proceeded to sit us facing a wall. the staff were unorganized... at first highly attentive ( 3 people hovering over us) and by the end no one was there to clear our plates.
$10 kimich came in a jar ( i know its in house but still) was too sour ( i hear recently its too sweet)
$16 signature dish "momofuku ramen" was bland, broth was a deep dark scary brown. so over priced ... i would rather go to sansotei i love ramen, i normally inhale it and beg others for left overs.... my bowl was full when i left.
$14 rice cakes ??? so lame...
only thing i enjoyed of course were the pork buns.
i wont go back and waste my money at momofuku....Toronto has too many other off the chart korean and japanese restaurants. i feel as though david chang underestimated the palate of torontonians and over estimated our pocket books.
