MOMOFUKU

$ (Cheap for a whole lotta flava!)

Who would have ever thought Ramen Noodles could taste so good! Located in the heart of the East Village on 163 First Ave, between 10th and 11th st. Momfuku is the perfect place for people who love their PORK! The pork buns are -hands down- the best pork buns in NY! Soft, puffy, and full of flavor-as you take your first bite, you mouth will be filled with soft pillowy dough, and spicy pork mélanged with crispy onions, mushrooms, and yes PORK and just a whole lotta flava! FYI-you can get the chicken if you are not into PORK. You will not just be able to stop at 1, I would recommend going in for 2!

Yes the wait is long, every now and then you can get lucky and get a table in 10-15 mins. But good food is always worth the wait-as long as you are in good company. Seating is minimal and a little cramped- you'll be sitting on bar stools (it is after all a Noodle bar)...and if you get to sit near a lesbian couple who talk about oral sex the whole 45 mins they are chowing down on their noodles...lol don't hate (speaking from experience!)Take the F to 2nd Ave.

Chef David Chang deserves all the applause/rants/raves and crazy hype he's been getting for this place!! People we need to appreciate the true artists who are in the steamy kitchens making it happen for food lover's like us! Ever wonder what these Chef's look like-here's Momo's-David Chang..

Go David..Go David!!

DID YOU KNOW? MOMOFUKU MEANS LUCKY PEACH!
