Good ingredients gone wrong
After waiting for thirty minutes next door, we were seated and ordered. the buns were fatty, the asparagus was skimpy (like seven for $11!) and the noodles were undercooked. overall, the chefs seems to be wrapped up in their own world.

Not impressed
I read an article about Momofuku a few years ago and couldn't wait to try it. Well, was I let down. The service was slow the Momofuku ramen ok. . I know they use Berkshire pork and the sake selection is great but its not worth the money.

Not as good as other places
I decided to check this place out because a friend of mine told me about it. I ordered the Momofuku ramen. It wasn't very good. The broth was ok, not really slurpworthy, and there was one small piece of pork. The noodles were not very good. They were chewy, not firm. They also tasted a bit bland. All in all, this noodle soup does not compare to the one offered at Minca. I left the place still hungry, as the soup was not robust enough to serve as a full meal. The place looks pretty cool though, and it was packed. There may be other things on the menu that are good, but I would not go here for the ramen.

Decent
Probably won't make a special trip to go back, but the food was decent. The pork they use is noticeably high quality, but overall the food was nothing special. Nice place comfort wise, and the service was on point.

Tasty but not enough
As first time go-ers, the ramen was good, the pork buns were excellent as were the fried dumpling. A little too pricey for lunch, $150 (tip incl) for three people!

What's all the fuss about?
I've read rave reviews of Momofuku and when I finally went, I could not have been more disappointed. The pork buns are more like doughy pitas than delicious buns, the noodles are just okay, but nothing extradinary-- in all everything was rather bland. I was hoping for so much more!

I love this place!!!
I've recently become obsessed with Momofuku's...I dream about the steamed pork buns and pan fried pork dumplings. And don't even get me started on the ramen dishes, so good. I never knew how much I could love the other white meat until I started eating at Momofuku!
