Momofuku

Food was all right. I think it was better in New York. The service was okay but the ambience could have been better. The seats were a little bit uncomfortable and pretty cramped. The cookies that you can buy to go is exactly what other reviewers are saying. They are just a walk-in Fridge

Great bites for a night out with friends, the food comes fast so perfect for a meal before a show. As said before, the servers are wonderful and warm. Ramen and bao are not wildly special anymore (now that they seem to be everywhere!) but still a tasty bite. The truffle ramen broth is delicious, and calamari bun was our favourite. Duck rice cakes were the star of the meal! The broth and duck were so flavourful, with little hits of chillies and crisp shredded cabbage. A+ Korokke were very good too, don't forget to eat with the pickled veg. Ume rokku was a unique drink. As a whisky lover, the mixture of golden plum and Japanese whisky was really enjoyable and notable. I would definitely go back for it. Recommend getting kimchi with your meal, it's a large portion and you can take home the jar! The white kimchi was different (not spicy), and surprisingly my partner who doesn't normally like kimchi couldn't stop eating it.

We had our event here and we are glad we were able to finally host it at the venue. The private room was just perfect for our group size. The service, bartenders, and servers were AMAZING! The food was really good and filling it was a great evening that we were able to host. Sad to see this restaurant close this week but we were lucky to experience it. Everyone just loved the evening! Thank you!

Dec 13, 2022 Walked in on a Tuesday evening right when they opened at 5PM. Got seated at the chef’s counter with a full view of the kitchen action. Crew was the calm, cool and collected. Ordered 2 eggplant bao, 2 shrimp bao and a truffle ramen to share. Paid about $50, bill split in two. Service was attentive. Food was flavored well. Loved the sauce in the eggplant bao. I personally don’t like bamboo shoots for their sourness and the ramen truffle had them. Be sure to check them out before they close later this month! NOTE: Walk in diners have a 1 hour dining limit

Wanted to try momofuku since everyone’s been recommending it before this location closes Dec 23! We tried the pork belly, chicken, and shrimp steam buns, and they were all delicious. Both the pork ramen and ginger noodles were good too- definitely recommend both. The ginger noodles are a nice veg alternative. Ended the meal with milk cookies, which were so tasty we didn’t take the time for pictures. The night we visited, there were issues with technology and the soft serve machine was not working, but the meal was worth the experience and the server was really kind.

Undoubtedly one of my highlight meals of 2022. I’m going to miss this place big time once it closes at the end of December. Great big bold flavours and the absolute OG broth of Toronto ramen. Just really well executed dishes and a nice casual vibe in the restaurant.

Love love love. The Ramen(we ordered both pork and chicken) was amazing. The chilli chicken bun was good as well. But the best part was the ice-cream dessert with cereal on top. The service was a little slow but definitely worth the wait.

The food was good but a little underwhelming from what I've heard about the resturant. But it was still very good. I didn't like the rice cakes because they had a sour flavor, but other people in my group did. The noodles were good but not as good as I expected. The pork noodles were better then the chicken ones also!! Though the pork buns were really good and I would definitely recommend it. The servers were great and the atmosphere was nice.

Lunch. One last time. I’ve been a regular of Momofuku over the years and when I read the news that they will be closing their doors permanently on December 23rd, I had visit this place one last time. In my opinion, this place offers the best Ramen and noodles in the city. The pork and shrimp buns are a great appetizer and a shared soft ice cream from Christina Tosi’s Milk Bar is a great way to finish off the meal. The place does not have the bustling vibe that it once had however, the quality of the food is great, the prices are reasonable, Post COVID conditions and the service was both friendly and efficient. I’m going to miss this place. Well worth a visit before they close.

I arrived at 6pm on Saturday night and there was a very long line to get to host stand. They only took one party at a time which makes sense however it seemed a bit unorganized (was the line the check-in for those with reservations or was it a waiting room for walk ins?) Took just under ten minutes to get to the front of the line. The space is large and open concept meaning those who are hard of hearing will have difficulty conversing with their dining companions. However, this also amounts to a lively, vibrant, and young vibe and crowd. Interesting hipster-like cocktails. My Dad ordered the lions tail cocktail which was $16. He deemed it the “sweeter Manhattan.” The seats are either communal or at the bar so don’t expect a private table. There are no coat racks at the table but there are under the bar if you sit there. If you have a small party, I’d recommend asking for a seat at the bar as you get to see the chefs preparing your meal. Due to the communal nature of the seating, it’s not the best service due to the lack of attention payed to where patrons are in their dining experience. You may have to flag down your server to request anything. It’s a small menu, however, that’s not a drawback as you know the dishes they do offer are specialties. This means it’s not great for vegetarians as there are only two vegetarian mains consisting of the extremely spicy noodles and truffle ramen. My Dad ordered the chicken ramen ($18) and a chilli chicken bun ($7). I ordered the extremely spicy noodles ($17) and eggplant katsu bun ($6). Despite the name, the noodles were well balanced with salty and sweet flavours underlying the Sichuan sauce. Well-priced mains packed with tons of flavour.
