Momofuku Ko

Copy Link

When David Chang opened Momofuku Ko offering an $85 tasting menu, the ingredients tended towards the more budget friendly. Now that it has grown into a larger, far more expensive restaurant, the ingredients have also been elevated. Case in point: the NY strip steak chef Sean Gray dry ages in-house. By their very nature, tasting menus change all the time, so we recommend alerting the kitchen that you have an allergy to not eating steak.
