Dan SohaydaNovember 6, 2017Family style seating unless you go to the counter. Ton of noodles in the pork bowl, and the pork buns come with two huge slabs of pork. They do not skimp! Good value for a Momofuku establishment.
Gary MorrillMay 27, 2019tried the pork ramen the tsukemen was sold out. I have to say it was the least flavorful ramen I have ever had, three bites, finished my beer and left. Great marketing, zero substance.
Hal MackinsMay 2, 2016Hard to go wrong here. The pork bun may be the best I've had. Everyone raves about the ramen, and rightly so. For beverages, the Orenji Punch (witbier, tequila, orange) was an unexpected treat.
Keaton KustlerFebruary 8, 2014If you're a fan of the NYC chilled spicy noodles, these are NOT the same. They are not nearly as spicy or even really spicy at all...however the rest of the menu items are identical and as delicious
Dan NDecember 4, 2014Go to the bar upstairs; you can order from both the noodle bar and the Daisho menus. Pork buns and Daisho brussel sprouts are must have. The Dan Dan Mian is a worthwhile noodle bowl.
Spicy cold noodles and Brussels sprouts were the most memorable for me. Tried every appetizer - wouldn't recommend the chicken meatball bao but everything else great!
Paul RossmanSeptember 17, 2014Awesome noodles. Friendly servers, however they made the whole dinner feel really rushed. This despite only a handful of people in the restaurant (empty!). Don't let them rush you out.
OliviaJune 13, 2017Yup, you can't go wrong here. Any ramen noodles you pick, you'll love it. Full of flavors, you won't go slurp the whole thing.
Julie LMay 11, 2018The place meet up my expectations - even though the ramen I want to taste was sold out at 7pm. The buns are the best I ate and the ramen is really delicious.
Kari MDJanuary 19, 2013Service is nimble, friendly and food arrives very quickly. We loved the pork buns (so fatty and delicious), the divine lemon curd and the lovely selection of Ontario wines. Noodles, as in NYC, rock.- Jamie SarnerJuly 20, 2016This noodle bar inspired by the diversity of Ontario, offering locally sourced ingredients and ever-changing menu. It is the ideal place to visit with big groups of friends!
Brandon LooSeptember 16, 2014Pork buns are tasty, they melt in your mouth. 2 to a plate. Reminds me of how Peking Dug is served, just pork belly instead of duck
EaterOctober 7, 2013With innovative twists on what would normally be considered fast food, Noodle Bar’s specialty is a shared, gourmet, fried chicken dinner.[Eater 38 Member]
Bar in front of the kitchen is very warm to sit at and not advisable if you are eating ramen. My pairing suggetion : momofuku ramen (absolutely a must!) and pork buns. Two can share the ramen.
Dale JeffriesFebruary 19, 2016I liked the pork buns - all of them - and enjoyed Momofuku Ramen. At duet time they add a few extra dishes including the chicken wings which are fun.- Jonathan SnookApril 15, 2018The pork bun, the okonomiyaki, and the ramen were all delicious. I could eat those pork buns all day.
- Brandon LooSeptember 16, 2014If you like SPICY, the Spicy Noodles are HOT! They'll bring a small glass of iced soy milk to accompany it for those that can't handle it.
- Momofuku ramen (pork ramen) is the best!! Try their pork buns too. Tasty and soft!
- Share the ramen bowl and pork buns. (Huge for me) .. Dont forget to ask the dinner specials. The Hanger Steak needs to be combined with rice for the serving for the steak is small.
QayserAugust 22, 2015It's almost impossible to live up the the hype, but this place comes pretty close. Awesome service, atmosphere and food. Best with friends.
Krzysztof L.August 30, 2016Love this place! Very good kitchen in beautiful place and pretty good service. I'd like to get back!
Jeff SanFebruary 23, 2017The squash and coconut ramen was great! As well as the vegetarian bao, great environment!
Hani EFebruary 12, 2016The noodles. Every single time. The dandan mian with the chicken bao made for a really good lunch.
Derrick ChoOctober 31, 2012Ramen was great. Excellent broth. Try the seasonal pickles. Clams good too. No tea! Servers polite and cute but our lunch didn't come at the same time.
Will ChungAugust 21, 2014If you see the pig tail special ($15), get it! They are absolutely amaze-a-balls!
Pao!!!November 8, 2014The beers is really good! The littles burguer and salmon plate is really good. Good service and very nice for Friday night
John ThaiSeptember 24, 2012Chicken buns surprisingly better than the pork. Ramen is great but could be 5 degrees hotter. Steam is good! Skip the wings. Skip the kimchi stew. Ginger scallion noodles are good.
Matthew HuieFebruary 5, 2017The venue is inside a multi-level, glass cube! The dishes here use ingredients from local vendors, sourced within Ontario!
Jana YJuly 2, 2013If you're wearing flip flops and incredibly clumsy like me, careful opening the heavy door over your foot. I literally left a piece of me at Momofuku. :[
K MSeptember 3, 2015Pork buns are the way to go. Also: crack pie and corn cookies. I will never look at corn the same way again.
Gabriel PirvuMay 9, 2016The house brew peach beer is the best thing ever. Don't question it, just get it. Oh and there's food too.
Sachiko PhuongFebruary 12, 2014Ramen noodles were delicious, but the Momofuku broth was too salty. I appreciate the westernized flavours of the buns, but I prefer what Banh Mi Boys have done to the traditional "bao." Worth a try.- The new "char Siu Burger Buns" ( cheddar, iceburg, mustard relish) are delishh!!
- Paul RossmanAugust 14, 2014One of the Toronto based chefs threw out the house kimchi recipe and replaced it with his family's generations old recipe. It was delicious!
Ian LeungDecember 28, 2014Gf approves the quality and authenticity of the Extremely Spicy Noodle, and she would know about such things. You win this round, David Chang.- Gabriel PirvuMay 9, 2016Must get the BBQ pork bun - and both the pork and chicken ramen are really good too.
Stephen 🥞🍱🍣🍛🍜🍘🍟🍔🥨🍰🥑August 14, 2015Pork buns are great, ramen is okay but not as good as you'd expect from a David Chang restaurant..... I think there are better noodle places unless of course you're going for the corn-flake ice-cream
Elnaz TaqizadehApril 16, 2016great experience for a winter night. the smoked chicken ramen was soo good.
Eric MacDonaldAugust 7, 2021Bbq pork bun & chicken rice cake are great. Pork ramen was mundane: borderline flavourless broth. Wouldn’t rush back to eat here.
Neo MatrixSeptember 29, 2014Hugely overrated, I don't understand the hype around momofuku and it's owner. Mediocre ramen, rated 5/10. Pork bun is nice, but it's just sticking a piece of charsiu into a simple bun.
- Ian LeungJuly 8, 2014Clam Noodle is excellent. Really enjoyed roasted rice cake also. Jiajang noodle and milk bar are ok.
Jordan RenaudOctober 28, 2016Cocktails, wine and atmosphere were fantastic. My ramen was great too. I recommend!
Pork buns! Ramens are good. Rich and tasty broth, but I wish that it's a bit warmer.
Go early, line up, get ready for a unique dining experience, order pork buns, drink sake slushee, be happy.
