Absolutely everything was delicious and fresh.
Starting with the most amazing pork buns that are so simply perfect and moorish, you know you're in for a good night.
The ramen noodles are also divine.
A great, inexpensive night out. Great for a casual catch up with friends.

Very friendly staff. The ramen was good, a little too salty for me. I couldn't finish it. But the first few bites and slurps were good. The buns were off the wall good!! Found another ramen place that I enjoyed better- Ippudo 😋

Momofuku is a busy ramen bar in East Village. In order to avoid the long line up, better go at earlier hours (store hours 12 noon - 4:30pm / 5:30 pm - 1:00 am). Actually there are many interesting Japanese restaurants in the neighbourhood. Maybe you will find one you like most.

The Momofuku Ramen made my brain explode. So much amazing flavor it's difficult to describe. If you find yourself in the Manhattan area, go to to Momofuku. You will be so glad you did.

Momofuku Noodle Bar is all the hype compressed into a moderately-sized dining space, and a little bit more. However, getting there when the doors open may not be enough. We arrived six minutes after the evening service started up and were lucky to get a table. Ten minutes later - the line was out the door and around the corner.
Inside, the pricey shrimp buns were beyond tasty - the Momofuku ramen bowl was just as delicious as any I've had in Tokyo or Seoul.
The service is top notch: your glass won't get past half-full, servers take time to assist with food selection - and don't rush you out the door, food arrives in a timely fashion, hot - the poached egg in the ramen, for example, was perfect.
If there's anything to critique: the cookies weren't all that. Sort of like "Krusteaz Blueberry Pancake" mix baked into a cookie. Better off hitting Mrs. Fields on the way home, paying less.
