Overview:

This was my first dining experience at a David Chang restaurant, and I was immediately impressed. I attended Momofuku Ssam Bar with three of my girlfriends, hungry for an authentic Korean dinner. The ambiance of the restaurant was new and trendy, overall an exciting setting to dine in.

We began our meal with the Pork Buns. They were the perfect combination of a warm bun, soft pork belly, and crispy vegetables. I also ordered the honey crisp apple kimchi, consisting of a sweet yet spicy taste. The unexpected combination of flavors worked in the dishes favor. I made sure to taste test my friends order of bev eggleston’s pork shoulder steak, consisting of piperade, pine nuts, and cauliflower. The delicately prepared pork and ingredients blended well together.

We splurged on the pear sorbet for dessert! A wonderful finale to a filling meal!
