Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: The original restaurant that brought celebrity chef David Chang to fame, Momofuku Noodle Bar is still going strong with locations in the East Village and Columbus Circle. Look for the sleek glass exterior and pull up a stool in the warm wood interior for ramen noodles, steamed buns, and soft serve. After more than 20 years, half a dozen James Beard wins and nominations, and a Michelin Bib Gourmand, it’s still a noodle icon.

    This has been a bucket list dinner visit for me for a number of years, so I had very high expectations going in. I am happy to say that my high bar was cleared easily. Friendly and helpful staff gave recommendations and explained items as needed, and the food was excellent. Though it was difficult to choose the starters, I went with the fried Japanese potatoes and mushroom steamed buns. No regrets, not a bad bite. Then I went with the spicy mushroom ramen and finished with the fish ssam. The ramen was very good, and the fish ssam was a head turner when it came out. Beautiful presentation but intimidating at first glance, I wasn't sure how to attack it. Once I dove in, it was fantastic. Best bite of the night was either the fish ssam or the fried potatoes, too hard to call it.

    I'd describe the layout as cozy in the typical Japanese fashion. Good music playing. Dom, my server was attentive and took me through the menu and specials. Food was reasonably priced and delicious - beer was a bit overpriced but that might just be a Manhattan thing in general. Overall, would recommend wholeheartedly.
