I have been obsessing about it since we went a few weeks ago :heart
I absolutely loved everything about it. We were (luckily) promptly seated since we were only 2, at the bar--which was awesome, bc the bar overlooks the kitchen so you get to see all of the action, even the chef stands right infront of us calling orders and serves us our food :agree
Where do i start---their pork buns are AMAZING. the pork was so tender, and the buns so airy....next time i am def not sharing the order of 2 lol..:greedy:
The other fave was their fried rice cakes, which are served with a spicy chili sauce and were sooo addicting :hungry we also shared some oysters with a fennel garnish which were so buttery, and a pork neck noodle soup, which was so yummy and comforting.
The next time we go i want to try their cheesey grits with shrimp which looked outstanding, and their fried sweetbreads.
Also---we kinda messed up and went to the Momofuku Noodle bar when we meant to go to the Momofuki Saam Bar.. lol they are an avenue and a few blocks away from eachother...and we meant to go to the Saam bar bc food and wine magazine rated one of their pork shoulder dishes as one of the best dishes of 2007...so we def have to go there :agree but im glad we messed up and hit up the noodle bar--bc it was outstanding :hungry
