Fried chicken : Do it! We like the Korean better than the Southern-style here but the fried chicken sides are by far the best in city . Reservations are getting a little easier to come by too! Read more

Chang's pork buns have big, plump slabs of pork belly sticking out from the bun like a cartoon tongue , with clean cucumbers and earthy hoisin sauce between the meat and the dough . Read more

You can usually get a spot at the bar without much of a wait on a weeknight, if you go by yourself or with a date. The ramen is excellent even if it's lost its status as best in the city .

Eater National 38 member: From Noodle Bar came creations like rice cakes in chile sauce , ramen with pork bone broth , and steamed Chinese buns swabbed with hoisin and folded around pork belly squares. Read more

The ramen is available in a handful of permutations, foremost of which is "Momofuku ramen ": a dense pork broth , an egg that poaches as you watch, and wonderful hunks of fatty, griddle-sauteed pig . Read more

Fun spot.service is great.pork buns/oxtails worth a try.ramen had the pork belly/beef/spicy chickpea all missed the mark on flavor. Presentation????????.garlic rice bland.carrot spread/butter bread yummy

Definitely start with the Pork Buns . Then try and devour a bowl of the momofuku ramen (pork belly , shoulder and poached egg ). Or plan ahead, make a reservation and have the fried chicken !

Try and get there before they open the doors for dinner and get in line . The cooks bar is an amazing view . pig tails , shiitake buns , smoked wings and the pork ramen were all amazing!

The phenomenon David Chang created 12 years ago changed the dining worldwide (and spawned a global empire), striking a crack in upscale formality that spread until the genre shattered. Read more

Start off with the Brisket Buns and be ready to taste one of the best thing. Perfectly cooked brisket with horseradish , pickled red onion and cucumber on a soft and chewy bun .

Over 10 years later, David Chang's first restaurant is still turning out inventive, deeply satisfying, and affordable food. The buns and ramen are all just as good as you remember. Read more

Lucky enough to quickly snag a table without much of a wait. Also asked about vegan options and servers were knowledgeable and happy to offer me my options. Ginger scallion noodles are vegan .

You have to reserve in advance for the fried chicken dinner and it's only at 6pm or 10pm, but my god just look at that.

I preferred the Momofuku ramen to the spicy which was a tad spicy and the broth not as tasty. The shrimp Bao is the best Bao I've tasted ever. Better than the pork belly . Do it.

Tried the pork buns , spicy hozon ramen , & pork ramen . Really excellent... Though I didn't like the poached egg in our pork ramen . It's not traditional Japanese ramen that way.

There is a reason why this place has been popular for so long. The Momofuku ramen was excellent with the soup base not being thick but still full of flavor. The piece da resistance was the pork belly .

Be patient, because you will wait like an hour for a table. Try the brisket buns and of course the Momofuku ramen , if you are looking for something really hot try the Chilled Spiced Noodles .

The focus is on ramen – the Japanese adaptation of Chinese lo mein – but with Korean flourishes. Thus, you can get a fiery bowl of radish kimchi or a quintet of meat-stuffed dumplings as an appetizer . Read more

Pork buns aren't as good as ippudo's but ramen and ginger scallion noodles are solid. Rice cakes are worth a try but pretty heavy. Great service with fast table turnover so wait is fairly quick.

If it's your first time get the Momofuku Ramen . I'd recommend trying any of the buns being offered. The shrimp and brisket buns are great. Feel like a stronger drink, the sake is a healthy pour for $9

The fried chicken at Momofuku Noodle Bar — 1 southern style chicken & 1 Korean style chicken w/ mu shu pancakes , bibb lettuce, four sauces & an herb basket — is great for sharing with friends. Read more

Bring two friends. Get 300 ml of nama honjozo. Get the pork buns . Get a small side. Get the ramen . Oh, and, if you can stand the heat, get the spicy noodles .

I enjoyed the cold (SPICY ) green noodles . The spicy sausage and cashews inside the dish were excellent. A little pricey and not a very large menu. But try the drink that's a sake smoothie . So good!

If they have the special al pastor buns , DO NOT flinch, just order. The vegan Hozon ramen is chickpea based and will please even the most carnivorous ramen fan

Get these instead of the pork buns if you see them on the specials board: Fried Egg Buns - fried egg and smoked pork loin topped with hollandaise and chives folded into a steamed Chinese bun

Chilled spicy noodles . Do it. The cashews are candied , and somehow that sweetness magically pairs with the spicy freshness of the basil sauce and the richness of the sausage . It's perfect!

First time? Go for the momofuku ramen and pork buns . Second time? Try the shiitake buns . You can also get small bowls to split the ramen and noodles .

Get the kimchi stew . It is so good they had to take it off the menu . It's blood red from delicious kim chi and filled with slow roasted pork and an abundance of rice cakes . Perfectly spicy , too.

Great for "beginner" ramen , but still really fun and trendy . Come during off peak because otherwise it's at least an hour wait. Get the Momofuku and try to snag a seat at the bar to watch the experts.

Pork buns were a delish appetizer , chicken and rice was okay, but the seasoning was on point and the ramen was phenomenal. This is my wife's favorite restaurant in the area so I shall return.

Don’t get the normal pork noodles — you can get that anywhere. The Sichuan sausage noodles my partner got were incredibly interesting (and more importantly tasty)

Famous for the steamed buns and ramen but the standout for me was their Brussels sprouts with daikon , miso and topped with Parmesan cheese and pine nuts !

Come here for some of the best ramen you can get. The Monofuku Ramen with pork belly , pork shoulder and poached egg is absolutely delicious!

The ramen is okay but the dry noodle with spicy sausage (I forget the name it's been awhile) is the best. We also got oyster buns here three years ago that were a really good change up from pork buns .

It probably goes without saying at the point but the Momofuku ramen (the official one with the various meat products) is something amazing to experience. The water spinach dish is to die for.

What more can one say? A NYC institution. Yes $13 ramen is hard to fathom ($40+ if you splurge on the black truffle ramen ) but you won't regret it.

After visiting Momofuku in Toronto I've decided to check NY as well . I must say they keep quality. Make sure to book a table ahead because it's crowded place.

The classic ramen noodle bowl is all you need to leave happy. It's filling and delicious. Add $1 chili oil for some spice...so worth it

The Momofuku Noodles live up to expectations. Make sure to add some of their original spicy sauce to your order and try the soft serve for desert . Pop round a nearby bar while you wait.

Of all the ramen spots I've eaten at in NYC (and there are a lot), no other vegetarian ramen surpasses the salty miso broth, chewy noodles , and crispy chickpea crackers that make up this dish. Read more

Always get a Momofuku ramen bowl. Get creative with an appetizers . Don't miss any corn dish which is always amazing. Also never miss the shrimp and grits if it's on the menu.

The classic Momofuku ramen was incredible, great balance between the freshness of greens and heartiness of the pork fat . Eggs with anything is a win!

David Chang's flagship is still putting out some of the best ramen in the city (although he has more competition than when he began) - the pork buns are excellent, and the veggie ramen is spectacular.

Forget authenticity here: Chang, who trained at Cafe Boulud and Craft, delivers a creative mishmash of Korean, Japanese, and New American, and his fans wouldn't have it any other way. Read more

I can see why their momofuku ramen is popular. The meat is really yummy and it goes with the broth well . I would say it's on the saltier side.

Totally worth the wait. If you are not into early dining it's even better. Got there 11ish and didn't wait for that long. The food is amazing, try the buns ! Desserts didn't do it for me though

As a vegan I was happily fed here. Started off with the sake slushy , then shiitake bun , then ginger scallion ramen . The noodles were perfectly cooked! I do wish the veg ramen had broth but still yum!

There is one vegan option and it is delicious!! Go for it. Ginger and mushrooms noodle
