"A ramen restaurant located in Murray Hill, offering a variety of ramen dishes." - Nadia Chaudhury
"A ramen restaurant by Masaharu Morimoto located in Murray Hill, New York." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Helmed by Iron Chef star Masaharu Morimoto, Momosan brings some celebrity luster to the genre. Six types of ramen are available at this ramen shop with branches in Seattle, Boston, Miami, California, and Waikiki, including a dry version of dan dan noodles, but the best is tan tan. It offers a spicy sesame-laced broth further inflected with scallions and cilantro. The bowl is recommended for folks who like a little spiciness. The noodles are the firm and spaghetti-like Sun noodles." - Robert Sietsema
"Momosan is easy to miss as you walk down Lexington, and since the dining room is smallish, you may encounter a wait. But seats turn over pretty quickly, and if you’re by yourself or with one other person, you should be able to find a space at the bar. At lunchtime, there are $17 ramen sets." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, matt tervooren
"Chef Morimoto will still have a presence in the city after the restaurant is closed. Momosan Ramen & Sake, his well-received line of ramen shops, can be found in Midtown and a forthcoming Park Slope outpost, as well as two other locations in Seattle and Honolulu." - Erika Adams
