"A noodle bar offering seasonal dishes like truffle ramen with roasted miso broth and truffle butter, available at its East Village and Columbus Circle locations." - Melissa McCart
"It’s possible you’ve never heard of this new East Village Momofuku restaurant. That’s because this takeout spot took over the old Ssäm Bar space last summer without any apparent buzz. Since then, 207 has served a rotating menu of dishes like salmon tostadas, oxtail stew, and spicy gochujang fried chicken that instantly entered the running for best wings in the city. Right now, they’re serving mole chicken drumsticks, spicy pork ragu tamales, and sweet potato tres leches cake, and a bunch of other dishes you probably wouldn’t make at home. So we suggest you cover your kitchen table with them instead." - nikko duren
"What’s compelling about Momofuku’s mushroom ramen is how it mimics a bit of the creamy mouthfeel and umami punch of pork tonkotsu while remaining completely vegan thanks to a miso-like chickpea hozon; the brown, vegetal broth leans toward earthiness amplified by chiles and the garden-y punch of pea shoots, and it comes with firm, fat noodles." - Ryan Sutton
"While the East Village spot closes for a four-week renovation, the Momofuku Noodle Bar uptown location at Columbus Circle will remain open." - Erika Adams
"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
