Momofuku Noodle Bar

Came here last night for the 1st time ever and it was OUTSTANDING!!!! It was packed and super busy..... Our server's recommendations were spot on. He knew what's up!!! I didn't get a photo of the pork buns however just order them period! We started with the little neck clams special. PHENOMENAL! Spicy Pork Ramen was heaven..... Superior! Amazing food, service & vibe. 5+ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The best dining experience I’ve had this year so far. The service from Brian, MY GOD!!! I couldn’t even put a napkin down before someone grabbed it. The open kitchen is such a great exhilarating experience to watch as they dish out the meals. Their bowls of ramen is now one of my favorite in NYC period. I can see why this place gets the hype it DESERVES! 10/10, would highly recommend! My favorite was the “Smoked Pork Ramen”.

We came in with high expectations since the reviews were raving - all the ingredients are very fresh, egg was cooked perfectly, chicken was nice and tender. - service was great, though the bar space was tight, it wasn’t a dealbreaker - my only issue was: SO SALTY. Everything was incredibly overly salted, I struggled to finish my meal and it overtook the flavors of the fresh ingredients, which was a huge letdown It was fun to try a hot spot. But probably won’t return.

My first Momofuku experience. Was really excited to try the ramen here. Firstly we ordered a good selection of appetizers to share. Cucumber salad, tuna crudo, shrimp bao, deep fried chicken wings. Everything was amazing and the chicken wings are really large. The serving staff at our table was really helpful to inform us if the dishes ordered was enough or too much. Then of course we had ramen and spicy dry noodles - loved it. . Reservations is required as the restaurant is always busy. 5 stars for the food and service.

Soooooo delicious! Everything was amazing from start to finish. We loved how casual the restaurant was, like a Japanese izakaya, the perfect neighborhood spot. The service was fantastic, very friendly and attentive. Can’t wait to go back!

Went solo as a walk in and was lucky to get a seat at the bar (place is small). I loooved the ramen. Update: went once again, this time with my partner, and it was still very good. This time also tried the garlic chicken ramen and it was not as good as the smoked pork. Service was attentive and quick.

If you are thinking to come stop reading this, go! The food is made in heaven. Loved it. Easily one of the best meals in my life. Fresh ingredients, perfect combination, explosion of flavors in your mouth…Cozy place, not as many servers like in Majordomo in LA, but they are friendly, attentive and knowledgeable.

This is still amazing after all these years. First visit in a while, we got kimchi, shrimp buns, spicy lamb buns (special), chicken wings, and we each got our own smoked pork ramen (and I added a bunch of chili oil to mine). The shrimp buns are a must -- I debated getting the pork belly buns, but there's pork belly in the ramen and that probably would've been overkill. The lamb buns were great too but not so much my wife's thing so I'd be fine trying something else if these were still around next time. The chicken wings were a last minute addition and incredible -- definitely would get these again. And the ramen was amazing, still very much elite in the city in my opinion. We'll be back, hopefully sooner this time.
