Momofuku Ssäm Bar

I visited NYC for the first time and have always wanted to try any of the Momofukus and I still think of the meal I had here. The staff was amazing, the food was sensational and the atmosphere was comfortable even when sitting street side. One thing to be aware of is real estate is small in NYC, so sitting outside means you're sitting really close to other tables, which means you'll either love or hate your neighbors. Fortunately for us our neighbors were great and we met some new friends. Don't skip this place and don't skip the curly corn.

Really fun food. We got this sticky rice dish that’s not on the menu but all those in the know get it. I forget what it’s called. But get it. Very modern comfortable decor.

Fantastic! Had a lunch here and thought it might not live up to the hype and price, but absolutely worth it. Interesting and bold menu, with just enough heat and flavour in each dish. I would definitely return to try other options there. It's not cheap ($19 for the spicy sausage and rice cakes) but we loved the food, atmosphere, and service.

Excellent restaurant with fantastic cocktails and dishes made for sharing. Pork belly buns and rice cakes are off-menu but mandatory to start (although the pork was indeed very fatty..), juicy, crispy, spicy in the right places. All the other dishes we tried were excellent, fantastic steak, amazing salads. A bit disappointed by the coconut pie, served in a very thin slice and with a strange chewy texture, not unpleasant but not super satisfying either. Great service, fast, friendly, welcoming. It's a great NY spot.

We made reservations to have their rotisserie duck dinner. There were four in our party. They explained what we would be getting and they brought it out to show us before they cut it up. Delicious. Came in a bed of mint and other greens, scallion pancakes, etc. so we could make our own duck rolls. We also order the pork buns- not on the menu but available- a must! Nice atmosphere and super professional staff.
