November 6, 2014 Momofuku Noodle Bar
The first seating for dinner at Momofuku Noodle Bar is at 5:30pm. We arrive at 5:40 and we miss the first seating – come back in an hour they say. So we pop over to the Milk Bar around the corner to pick up some treats while we wait. The restaurant is packed and it is mostly counter and communal style dining – although there are a few regular two tops. The noise level can get a bit high here, so if you are looking for a quiet romantic evening, you may want to look elsewhere.
I ordered the momofuku ramen with pork belly, pork shoulder and a poached egg – just what I needed on this chilly evening.
My friend Cathleen says it’s all about the non noodle dishes here, and man is she right! The shrimp and grits app hit it out of the park for us. The dish was served with bacon, scallion and a poached egg. I loved the creamy textures in this dish.
And just for fun we had the small green tea slushie. Service was good and we sat at the bar which gave us a great view of the open kitchen.
