I wasn't stoked on being socially persuaded to come here, but I'll admit that I was pleasantly surprised with the experience, even if it may have been caused from my original skepticism.
Without going over everything, I'll simply recommend a few noteables:
-Pork Belly was a wonderful mix of fatty bits and crunchy edges and menu titled "sexy scallions". While I can't vouch for the sexiness of the scallions, it was my favourite dish.
-Brussel sprouts may be some of the best I've ever had. While $15 for a side of vegetables may seem excessive, I will say it was a good sized plate which is very shareable among big groups.
On the flip I'll also say that despite the hype, I really wasn't impressed with the Rice Cakes.
Service was alright, friendly but a bit overbearing with upselling attempts (no, we don't need two of everything, but thanks).
Overall it's a safe 3 stars with the caveat of knowing it won't be a cheap meal, but I'm actually more curious to see what happens when Daisho closes later this year and opens under a new Momofuku concept as planned.
