Momofuku Ko
This restaurant has been discussed/reviewed on various blogs and forums ad naseum, so I will just post our menu here in hopes that it encourages you to play the online reservation lottery. I will say, it’s worth every penny.
Note- we were a party of two and where possible, they served us different dishes- this is a rundown of everything-as best I can remember. I was not going to take photographs or notes during what might have been the best meal of my life, thus far.
