“The ramen is still very good, particularly the super garlicky and flavorful garlic chicken ramen. Their salad drenched in orange-ginger dressing is very nice too.”

“Food was bleh too - super salty broth.”

“Momofuku Noodle Bar has got to be one of the worst ramen spots in the city. Extremely average quality ramen in a cramped environment where they're rushing you out the door before you've even sat down.”

“My mom’s soup had a piece of plastic in it because I believe that’s how he poaches his eggs. He barely looked at us, grabbed the bowl and replaced with a new one a few minutes later. Terrible bedside manner.”

“it was toooo fatty for me. The pork itself has a lot of fat so matching that with a greasy broth didn’t work for me.”

“Noodle bar still makes the best pork belly bun in NYC, certainly not the most cost effective, but I've not had one that matches it yet. While I think their ramen is a hard pass, just about everything else they do is great (cold spicy noodles!!!)”

“the noodles were so soft. So disappointing for a “noodle bar”. I thought I’d give it a chance since I see David Chang on so many things but I was really disappointed.”
H2
“i went maybe a year ago and wow things had changed. seemed like everyone working there could care less, felt very depressing tbh.”
H2
“I know there's definitely far better ramen to be had nowadays, but it's also a weird nostalgic feeling going here today- just because it was so big and influential in a different era of food for NYC. Not that it necessarily dropped off, people just moved on from it.”
H2
“Their broth is also overly salted, and that's coming from someone who's favorite ramen style is Shio (salt).”
H2
“it was the saddest bowl of ramen I've ever had. It felt so westernized and nothing like I was expecting. Since then, I've had hundreds of bowls of ramen that absolutely clear Chang's. The bowl was like half-filled with broth and just so disappointing.”

“Agree on Noodle Bar; the noodles have never been that interesting to me, but you can make a really nice meal out of all the starter and bun options.”

“Most David Chang restaurants are pretty overrated and Noodle Bar is no exception.”
H2
“The food is amazing, you skip the wait which can be pretty long for larger walk-in parties, and you can watch how they run their kitchen - they have this whole system with jargon which you can pick up if you pay attention.”
