An upgrade to a bigger location was a smart move for the god-like David Chang, whose original restaurant Momofuku Noodle Bar (there’s also Momofuku Ssam Bar and the impossible-to-get-into Momofuku Ko) has a cult following. Many of the knock-your-socks-off Asian-influenced dishes change continually, but don’t miss the moist, uber-flavorful steamed pork buns or any of the rich, hearty ramen soups. You’ll find lots of pickled ingredients and chili on the menu, along with plenty of pork and offal. Wash it all down with a small selection of beers, wine and sake as you sit at the bar and watch the cooks work their magic in the open kitchen.
