"Momofuku’s small plates spot doesn’t boast the same ambitious menu as it did when it first opened uptown — there’s no more salsa-slicked Dover sole — but the venue remains one of the more affordable and reliable spots in the pricey Time Warner Center. Standout dishes include lamb bing with white sauce, brisket buns with horseradish mayo, dry-spiced chicken wings, extraordinarily smoky pork ramen, and ultra-spicy cumin lamb noodles. This is where you go for a quick bite before Jazz at Lincoln Center a few floors up." - Ryan Sutton
