Reviews for Momofuku Ko in New York, NY
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! Read more
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 reallylarge. The serving staff at our table was really helpful to inform us if the dishes ordered was enough or too much. Then ofcourse we had ramen and spicy dry noodles - loved it. . Reservations is required as the restaurant is always busy. 5 stars forthe food and service. Read more
I’ve always wanted to dine at one of David Changs restaurants & I finally did. It was a late night decision with my wife. She... was craving ramen & this was just the spot to do it! We were seated promptly at the bar. It was quite packed at the diningtables & someone was having a birthday dinner. The interior was very nice & clean. The bar seats were comfy and our serverswere fantastic. The menu isn’t vast - which is nice. Usually means quality will be good! Appetizers: Buns (Pork Belly), andSmoked Chicken Wings. -The Pork Buns were delicious! Moist and flavorful. My wife wanted more of these but held back because theramen was next. -The Smoked chicken wing were delicious! The sauce it was drenched in was just perfect. Garlicy but notoverpowering. I wanted more! Main Course: Smoked Pork Ramen & Spicy Garlic Pork Ramen! I was warned it was very spicy. -TheSmoked Pork ramen was phenomenal! The broth was the star! Flavorful / Umami! -The Spicy Ramen was divine! If you love spice thisis it! It wasn’t crazy mouth numbing. It was the right kick with flavor. Dessert: a very rich and decadent caramelized whitechocolate pie. Nuff said. Staff: Super Friendly. Everyone was very nice & welcoming. They explained the dishes (if asked) &they enjoyed their jobs. I saw them making sliders. I was curious & they mentioned it was for some pop up that happened the daybefore & the left overs they were making for the staff & they celebrated 18 years since opening. Real nice. I will be back forthe wings and the pork buns! Read more
We were in the city for two days, and this place had been on my list for a while. I’ll be honest, I thought I was going to be... blown away by the noodles here - and while that didn’t exactly happen, I still thought they were great. We got the buns (hadto send one order back because the bun itself was hard, like it had been out too long) and two orders of noodles - one with themushroom base and the other traditional pork. The pork belly here is excellent, some of the best I’ve had - and the mushroombased broth is honestly some of the best I’ve ever had, and I’ve tried a lot of vegan ramen. Everything was flavorful, justnothing really jumped out at me as exceptional. Would also add that it’s expensive (might come with the territory in NYC, butI live in SoCal and thought it was pricey even compared to that.) Would love to come back and try some more when I’m in thearea, but I think there are better noodles out there. Read more
Happy to eat here for my first Momofuku meal! We ordered the pork buns, a spicy lychee slushie, extra spicy pork ramen, and the... spicy cold noodles. We were warned that both these noodle dishes were spicy when ordering, but they weren't nearly as spicy asexpected. The ramen was super clean and light, which I preferred to typical fatty ramen. The ingredients, and especially thenoodles are high quality. The only downside to the meal was the spicy cold noodle dish, which was actually served warm andoverloaded w/sausage bits + candied peanuts (pretty weird, and there were so many!). Overall, very good and worth it. Excitedto try other Momofuku restaurants in the future. Read more
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 lambbuns 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. Read more
I've been coming for eight years and it never disappoints. Check the specials. Get the cucumbers alongside your ramen for a... refreshing side. Get the cold noodles to go in the summer for the next day. Read more
This is such an amazing noodle bar, that definitely conveys the Momofuku touch. Comparing this to the Saam bar, this more... relaxed ambiance still hits the notes needed to have a great meal. The food comes fast, and the service is just great. It seemsit's always busy, but people come and go. Really nice concept to try the Momofuku experience on a budget. The spicy cucumbersalad is amazing, and the shiitake bun as well, and the garlic chicken ramen are all a must-order items! Read more
