Really great outlet/branch of Momofuku. Went with a couple of friends whose verdict was that this place is better than the Noodle Bar outlet. When you reserve or walk in, do note that the menu of “downstairs” and “upstairs” is different (~50-60% different). We chose to be downstairs where it is an a-la-carte menu. If you choose to dine upstairs, there is a choice between a-la-carte (different from downstairs) and set menu.
Among the dishes we ordered, all were quite good and there were no dishes we felt which were below par. Would definitely recommend folks to try out the pork belly buns, whole roasted branzino, crispy potatoes, and the hamachi.
Also ordered a few cocktails which were pretty decent too.
A definite recommendation for visitors and residents of NY
Probably the best dining experience I’ve ever had. The Ssam Set was great. The bread and spicy butter really set the tone for the flavors and quality of food to come. The Beginning course was a little on the spicier side, but the flavors were worth it. The Middle was full of amazing textures and savory flavors. The Dessert sorbet was light and fluffy. We tried both but of the Skin by the glass wines, my favorite was Pittnauer (for being light, tropical, and just a good wine).
Thank you Ssam Bar! You were amazing!
We always get top-notch service from the Momofuku team. Not only very professional and but very friendly and cool, too. Quality of the food is superb. Raw dishes and oysters are very fresh. There are many options for vegetables as well as meat dishes. Grilled Maitake mushrooms are so tasty, and short ribs are a must. Heritage pork chop is delicious, too. Great wine and beverages list, at every price point and for every palate.
