The Smoked Pork Ramen was one of the best ramen I have ever had. The soup was strong in umami and smokiness and that alone made it a stand out dish. The spicy ramen was a manageable level of spicy but covered the taste of everything else.It’s so good I forgive David Chang for sending lawyer letters to the AAIP chilli crisp makers.

We arrived at the wrong location. However, the hostess offered to accommodate us even though without any hesitation! Excellent service, great food, and very reasonably priced!
God broth, expensive ramen for what it is. Service was terrible and the place is way too packed and not a pleasant experience.

I’ve been thinking about visiting here and I finally did it days ago. It didn’t meet my expectations, also slightly pricy, but some nice things.Ramen was good but average. One a slice of bamboo and a slice of pork, and over $20.Good part for me: the pork was well seasoned and cooked! Definitely the highlight of the whole bowl. And surprisingly, soup is clean, not oily. But overall, the taste was kinda dull, no layers for me.Soft serve was delicious, barley with beautiful honey taste. But it was a little bit watery and too soft, melted really fast.

Our first time, and it did not disappoint. A great bowl of noodles — we had the chilled spicy noodles and smoked pork ramen. The pork belly and seared shrimp buns are soft and packed with flavor. The staff are amiable and will let you know the daily specials. The standard items on the menu are perfect, and you should give those a try first.
My first time at the East Village location.I’m pretty much a regular at the Uptown location.So my review is based on comparing between the two.The Uptown location is better in both my opinion and my husband’s, based on the food and seating situation.We came here on a Friday at 5:30pm as a party of 4 with a Resy reservation.The seating at East Village location is indeed very tight!The location itself is also much smaller than the Uptown location.Thankfully other guests seated next to us were so kind enough to scoot as much as they could to create a bit more space for me.The food was decent.At the Uptown location I usually have the shiitake buns, but I decided to switch it up this time and I had the “Seared Shrimp” buns ($16).I personally prefer the shiitake buns over the seared shrimp buns flavor wise, but I am happy I switched it up for a change, so now I know to stick to the shiitake buns.I also had the “Spicy Cucumber Salad” ($13), which I enjoyed, although I wish it was actually a teeny tiny bit more spicy.For dessert I had the “Toasted Barley & Vanilla Soft Serve” ($9) which was very yummy!Service was good and kind!

Made a reservation and still had to wait. Not as good as Columbus Circle or Las Vegas experiences. Service was meh. The Chicken Ramen was just not as tasty as I’ve had before. Just okay.

You can't go wrong. Not traditional in any specific Asian cuisine but delicious as heck. Pork belly in or on any dish is amazing.

We had such a great time here. First time ever at momofuku. We had The slow roasted pork bun and smoked chicken wings. Oh my God it was amazing. Not my favorite Ramen ever but very very good. There were no bad dishes. Get there early for seating!

To be brutally honest, this place is kind of far from David Chang's reputation. Not very impressive. A bit salty to my super Asian palate.
