"Wrapping up its Noodle Nights collaboration series on Monday, October 14, the East Village Momofuku Noodle Bar teams with Win Son Bakery for a $95 five-course menu that includes fried oysters with pickled mustard greens, lobster rice noodles in chile butter, and vanilla soft serve topped with sweet potato dumplings." - Melissa McCart
"Still operating in the same location in the East Village since 2004, Momofuku Noodle Bar is great because it’s consistent. We love the garlic chicken ramen with super chewy noodles, chunks of chicken thighs, and a toasty garlic flavor whenever we want a casual weeknight bowl. The broth is light enough to keep us upright for a few hours after we eat dinner. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - will hartman, willa moore, sonal shah, neha talreja, kenny yang
"Momofuku Noodle Bar 2.0 (in Columbus Circle) still has a downtown feel, despite the fact that you have to take an escalator three floors up and there’s a J. Crew across the hall. You’re here for noodles, of course, but there are also interesting small plates, breads, and buns (like a black truffle soy egg bun special we liked). Don’t skip the cucumber salad, which has some of the best spicy sesame vinaigrette dressing we’ve ever had." - team infatuation
"East Villagers have been slurping smoked pork belly ramen at Momofuku Noodle Bar since 2004, and getting into the First Avenue spot used to be no easy feat. Now, the restaurant is in its most useful era. You can walk in for a quick solo meal and eat a bowl of clean-tasting, delicious garlic chicken ramen, or find a last-minute reservation for three or four people who want a big house salad and a few rounds of DIY spicy scallop hand rolls, pork belly bao, and beer.

"Incredible noodles from one of the most influential contemporary chefs. The pork buns are worth waiting in line and the noodles will fill you with happiness. It gets busy so expect a line." - Visualized
