Momofuku Ko
David Chang is offering multi-course, Asian-accented American meals in a hip dining room
Momofuku is a culinary brand established by chef David Chang in 2004 with Momofuku Noodle Bar. It was influenced by his time spent working in Japan and visiting ramen shops. Growing, Noodle Bar eventually moved up the street and Momofuku Ko took over the space.
Momofuku Ko opened in March 2008 whilst Chang describes the idea behind Ko as a, "cook-centric restaurant with just a few stools, a collaborative kitchen, and a constantly changing menu." At Momofuku Ko (ko means "child of"), guests sit along a kitchen counter and are served by the cooks.
Dinner is a set tasting menu devised by the chef, Sean Gray, and his aides-de-cuisine. It is usually about 10 courses long; at lunch the menu stretches out to 16 courses.
