The original East Village location attracted a dedicated following with these chewy knobs, crisping them up on the griddle before showering them in a Sichuan pork ragu with whipped tofu.
Eating them was akin to sampling an Italian-style Bolognese reinterpreted through the lens of a Michelin-starred chef who was craving Chinese mapo after a long shift of tweezing food. Then something odd happened. Park nixed the classic rice cakes and started shaving more expensive black truffles over her cacio e pepe variety. The pepper, too, is almost undetectable. And so when the earthy pungency of the black truffle fades away, you understand the true core of this dish, which is a tasty but middle-of-the-road mac and cheese.
It helped pave the way for a very specific form of gastronomy that came to characterize downtown dining: ambitious and eclectic fare in crowded, noisy, stripped-down settings, often in the form of salty, spicy small plates. Kawi at Hudson Yards, which permanently shuttered amid the pandemic, was a very different restaurant, and a more expensive one, but it retained the Momofuku DNA.
Indeed, as Momofuku moved into sleek developments around the country — thanks to a hefty investment from RSE Ventures — Kawi was proof that it could continue to do so without losing its cred, offering up dishes that contrasted with the stereotypically European-American notions of fancy shopping-center food. All but one of the hams are gone, as is the bo ssam, the more interesting raw bar dishes, the affordable rice cakes, the assorted kimbap — dropped a month ago due to a staffing shortage — and the overall loud, high-octane flavors that make Momofuku restaurants stand out from the pack.
The good news is that Team Momofuku tells me most of those dishes will return as the restaurant finds its sea legs and hires more folks; it will also add more vegetarian options and debut tabletop grilling upstairs. Ko Bar, which opened in , serves a constantly-evolving selection of a la carte dishes.
Seating at the bar is on a first-come, first-served basis. Nishi, led by Executive Chef Nick Tamburo, opened in and creates Italian-inspired dishes using unexpected techniques and ingredients.
