Tried new Momofuku on 2nd and 13th- features something called Ssam which look like wraps- had excellent uni with whipped tofu and black tea tapioca pearls, roasted cauliflower, and a sliced American cured ham (they feature 3). Same interior style and small menu- the ony repeat I remember is the steamed pork buns.
what about that new noodle bar on allen?
"Momofuku’s heavenly ramen may have a little bit of competition with the soon-to-open Kampuchea Noodle Bar. Opening on November 21st, this rustic restaurant is washed in orange and brown and is filled with high-top communal tables for convivial elbow-to-elbow slurping. As for the menu, owner Ratha Chau (Fleur de Sel) has designed it as an ode to the food of Southern Cambodia with a slew of Pho (including a make your own version where you choose from a list of add ins), cold noodles, and hearty stews like braised oxtail with stewed tomatoes, and spring onions and Bwah Moun, a porridge made from chicken broth, shredded chicken and cabbage. Kampuchea Noodle Bar is located at 78-84 Rivington St., corner of Allen St., 212-529-3901, www.kampucheanyc.com."
I like it but a notch down over MOMO
I don't get a good feeling about any noodle place where the blurb doesn't contain the word 'pork'.
Did you know the creator of Ramen Noodles just died? His name was Momofuku Ando. I guess that's where they got the name?
both use the same pork one article said....Berkshire, but Momo rocks it harder (skinny)
