d o e u n n a r a: momofuku noodle bar (New York, NY)

I still haven't written up my review for momofuku ssam bar, but I've decided to save the better for later.

momofuku noodle bar was certainly an enjoyable experience, and I'd definitely say, "It's worth a visit." But it didn't quite live up to the expectations I had for a "David Chang original recipe."

Certainly a more casual feel than its momofuku siblings, the noodle bar is a good place to visit with friends. But do expect there to be a wait, unless you can beat the crowd for an early dinner.

At any momofuku, you *must* try to steamed pork buns. These were no different from the ones I had at the ssam bar the other time. Don't leave this place without first trying the pork buns.

I also very much enjoyed the cold spicy noodles. But these noodles are spicy. Really Spicy.

The most boring (and disappointing) dish of the day was ramen. I had such high expectations for this dish,,, and maybe that was why, but I really thought that I could expect more from momofuku than this. I thought the soup was way too greasy with no real flavor. Maybe I was unlucky. Maybe I'll give it another try next time.
