Momofuku Ccdc

First impressions are everything! Upon entering the establishment I'm already loving the simplicity, clean lines and combo of industrial and airyness of the space! I came in for lunch. I opted to sit at the bar as I was solo. The bartender was friendly and ready to offer his suggestions and also great descriptions of the menu items as I was a first timer. The wine selection and drinks are limited but excellent choices. Well crafted cocktails are my jam but I got the wine, the Galen Glen which was wonderful and crisp with depth for a white wine. I ordered the "Smoked Trout Dip Bang"! My taste buds rejoiced! Beautifully creamy and with the smoked fish and a plethora of well chosen spices and pickled onion served with a incredible warm fresh in house made flat bread. My main was the "Branzino Ssam". The fish was prepared perfectly with a skin on boneless fillet. The flavors were inspired light and fresh with a spicy(but not hot) ginger scallion marinade. Just lovely. I recommend popping in for lunch if you want to try something different and satisfying I'll be back to try the dinner menu!

I've been going here several times for lunch. Their service is always exceptional with a friendly staff. The food is generally good, but sometimes with its creative ideas, the food can be a miss at times. The good: Favorite appetizer is Bing! Can't get enough of it especially the butter, spice, and honey mixed in. The Rotisserie Chicken is moist and delicious. The Pork Rib was on a hidden menu that the bartender told me about, and it is really meaty and good! It can be messy since you have to eat it with your hands, but the flavor is juicy and worth it. The bad: Spicy Black Bean Noodle. I know they changed the menu where it is just Black Bean Noodle now, so maybe it has changed. I'm assuming this is a chef's creation but the dish is nothing like a typical standard black bean noodle because there was no sauce so the noodles were dry, and the spice just didn't go well with this dish. The ugly: The Cumin Spiced Lamb Bing Wrap is very presentable, and they give you a good amount of lamb, but each bite of the lamb had a weird after taste that stayed in my mouth. I had to keep drinking water to make the taste go away. Overall, I enjoy coming here for the bing and seeing what other creative ideas the chef has.

We were in the area and this happened to pop up on our maps of good places to eat. We were fortunate enough to get parking on the street, and it appears that we arrived at the perfect time of day. We walked in and were seated right away. The host was gracious and our server, Evan, was definitely the reason our trip was perfect. I was not familiar with the menu at all, and his expertise helped me choose the spicy cucumbers as well as the cumin spiced lamb. What a treat! I can’t say enough about the service, the food, the drinks, and the DESSERT! I hadn’t had my coffee for the day, and the affogato was the perfect treat! If you’re looking for a nice spot for drinks after work, a place to meet friends for tasty food that’s also not too heavy, or just want a place to sit at the bar and enjoy the ambience, this place is for you! We will definitely be back.

The food here is delicious. The restaurant is casual and pleasant. We made a reservation, which definitely helped saved time. The food was served rather quick. We ordered the spicy cucumbers, butter bread and pimento cheese bread, chickpea stew, noodles, and rib eye. All of the plates were really amazing. I also had the chocolate truffles for desert, a rich sweet treat to end the experience. The food is a little pricey, but I would definitely come back!

Great and distinct member of the Momofuku family of properties. The roots reaching to San Francisco's The Progress are evident here in everything from the knowledgeable service staff to the muted blue tones of their uniform. The menu rotates but with the Bing breads being a staple and a must try. Nice atmosphere, good crowd, and an excellent dinner.

This place lived up to the hype. Everyone left satisfied with their meal. I guess it’s sort of an Asian American fusion place. The setup of the restaurant gives good vibes. The bread they give you as a starter was excellent and especially good with the crab dip. The hominy stew was a little spicy but very good and full of veggies. The fish dish with the lettuce wraps was also amazing and we were raving about the sauce on the steak. A little on the pricy side but excellent service and food. I’ll definitely come back.

Nice for solo dining - great service; Good first experience. I ordered the vegetarian chickpea broth with noodles. They accommodated my request for the addition of rice cakes for the price of “extra noodles.” The noodles were nice and thick and cooked perfectly. The addition of rice cakes made it even better texture and taste wise ;). The broth was hearty and satisfying for the cold weather outside. It was much too salty for my taste, but I finished the contents of my bowl!

Made a reservation for lunch on a whim the morning off and it was a good choice. There was a little bit of a wait if you showed with no reservation but we were whisked right in. The place is big and a nicely decorated open space. The servers were fabulous and incredibly friendly. We liked the food but we're not blown away (As we were for Ma Peche in NYC). The cocktail my husband had was pretty good. Overall a good experience and I would return to see what dinner is like.
