We tried to go to Momofuko but they REQUIRE RESERVATIONS. But the hostess helpfully pointed us to Momofuko Noodle 2 doors down. It was a good, interesting noodle shop. I had oysters and some noodles with kimchi and a fried egg (the lighting is bad, it looked much better than it does in the picture). Also an eclectic selection of bottled beers and suprisingly lame music.
The following are David Rust's notes about the mothership Momofuko:
Located in the East Village this is a tiny restaurant. There are 14 stools facing the kitchen and it is sometimes difficult to get into this "Asian-accented New American" gem. The chef, David Chang, is nationally known and this place gets a lot of press. I went there for the Pork Belly buns and definitely thought it was worth the price.
