Ko-BOOM: $25 Price Hike to hit Momo Ko Next Week

Behold, the latest Momofuku Ko pricing change, recently announced on the restaurant's website. Dave Chang's 12 seat East Village baby raised the prices once before, from the original $85 to $100 back in June '08 (a 17.6% increase), and starting next Monday, dinner at Momofuku Ko will be $125 (previously $100, another 25% increase) and lunch will be $175 (previously $160, a 9% increase). Quite a bit more than inflation, no? According to the site, the increase will give them the opportunity to "cook with a greater variety of ingredients." To those recessionistas out there, no fear: that fried chicken dinner is still $100.
