Momofuku Noodle Bar Uptown

The food was excellent! All the dishes were so tasty. The cucumber salad, the pickled daikon, the mushroom miso ramen, garlic chicken ramen, mushroom bao bun - all so so good and flavorful. The desserts were also fantastic. The miso brown butter cookie was soft and the tahini soft serve with crunchy bits was a perfect way to end the night. The service was frustrating. Our food took a long time to arrive and they forgot one dish until the end. Same thing happened with dessert, they seemed to keep forgetting to serve us, which was a bit disappointing. I want to go back and try more dishes, hoping to get better service next time.

From Apps to Entrees everything was stellar and delicious. We ordered the kimchi, pickled Daikon and cucumbers with jalapeños. Crispy chicken with Bao bun and pork belly with ramen noodles and to finish it off the steak with greens! They offer NA beers which is perfect for dry January! What an amazing experience.

The downtown 11th street momofuku is better in terms of food and service. But the atmosphere is better here. The steak was chewy and salty. The chicken was overtly salty and dry. Total waste of money. The pork ramen was very good but they brought my friend’s ramen out first, with a 6 minute lag between his and mine. My friend had to wait for my ramen to be served. They also didn’t provide a fork or knife for the steak. Service was subpar given the price of the food. However they did fill my water frequently. Don’t bother with this place. Go to the downtown one.

As we had a $150 coupon / credit from our Chase credit card for dining at an exclusive list of restaurants, we were happy to find this more affordable and casual style restaurant was included and nearby to a show we were attending at Lincoln Center Theatre. We reserved through OpenTable one day prior (definitely recommended) and arrived to the shopping mall (Columbus Circle) and took the escalator up and walked to the far end of the floor to find the restaurant. They had a very friendly and professional hostess who immediately seated us at a table for two (which was basically a large booth split with 2 smallish tables so we were crammed in and rubbing shoulders with another party right next to us). The place is pretty small and by the time we got our drinks, every table was full with a l

Very delicious food and good service but definitely on the pricier side. A reservation is highly recommended! Appetizer: Fried Fingerling Potatoes (3/5) The sauce to dip the potatoes in was delicious and had a hint of spiciness to it. The potatoes tasted very potato-y and not too fried / oily, and this is what I expect the average potato wedge to be cooked. However, was it worth $10...probably not. Main 1: Garlic Chicken Ramen (3/5) The chicken was cooked very well! It wasn't too dry. Big fan of the texture of the noodles. They were bouncy and absorbed the broth very well. The broth was too salty to drink. I had to essentially use the remaining rice from my other dish to add to the broth to dilute the saltiness of it. This was a very good portion size, but not big enough for the bowl to
