Every bad Review Is Insane
It's loud and crowded and rushed, but the service is efficient. I've eaten here probably 5 times and I love it every single time. No, the ramen isn't authentic- that's the point! Trust me- get some chips, pickles, pork ramen, pork buns, and split a tasting menu for two. As a food professional, this is my favorite place to eat. (I know this sounds like I work for them, but I would work for them if I could.)

Totally overrated.
There are full of snobby waiters and mediocre food for the price. No wonder there are not many Japanese people dining in the restaurant. I went two times because I thought it was unfair to judge after trying only once. But I would never go back again..

Pretty Good
The food is very good. I am not sure if the noodles are freshly made. I have had better noodles when visiting China. Seems a bit expensive for what you get but the food is pretty good.

This place rocks my socks
What are the other reviewers talking about!? I'm sort of a foodie, and while I HATE pretentiousness, I LOVE great food. I'm addicted to the Momofuku noodle soup - pork and poached egg - what an ingenious combo! And How can you say at $15 that it's overpriced? Further, it's enough for two meals... Having tried Ko as well, I am in awe of David Chang and in love with his restaurants.

Fun Place But Too Much Salt
I like salt as much as the next guy, but I don't want my ramen drowning in it. My wife couldn't finish her dinner, because it was so salty. This place makes other tasty dishes. Service is mediocre.

Totally Disappointed
I have been hearing great things about MOMOFUKU for a very long time now but since I live in the UWS it took me a while to finally eat there. The pork buns were delicious even if totally overpriced. I had a 23 dollar bowl of ramen which was so salty my lips were buzzing while I ate it. My husband's ramen was also so salty he didn't finish it all which is a rarity for him. All in all, I am glad I finally ate there but probably won't make the effort ever again.

Over priced for sure. You get a shot of
wine for $10. total rip off. the bun are great but toooo expensive the same thing everyone else is talking about. good for the new east village crowd of cheesy frat boys and girls.
