"I’ve always wanted to dine at one of David Changs restaurants I finally did. It was a late night decision with my wife. She was craving ramen this was just the spot to do it! We were seated promptly at the bar. It was quite packed at the dining tables someone was having a birthday dinner. The interior was very nice clean. The bar seats were comfy and our servers were fantastic. The menu isn’t vast which is nice. Usually means quality will be good! Appetizers: Buns (Pork Belly), and Smoked Chicken Wings. The Pork Buns were delicious! Moist and flavorful. My wife wanted more of these but held back because the ramen was next. The Smoked chicken wing were delicious! The sauce it was drenched in was just perfect. Garlicy but not overpowering. I wanted more! Main Course: Smoked Pork Ramen Spicy Garlic Pork Ramen! I was warned it was very spicy. The Smoked Pork ramen was phenomenal! The broth was the star! Flavorful Umami! The Spicy Ramen was divine! If you love spice this is it! It wasn’t crazy mouth numbing. It was the right kick with flavor. Dessert: a very rich and decadent caramelized white chocolate pie. Nuff said. Staff: Super Friendly. Everyone was very nice welcoming. They explained the dishes (if asked) they enjoyed their jobs. I saw them making sliders. I was curious they mentioned it was for some pop up that happened the day before the left overs they were making for the staff they celebrated 18 years since opening. Real nice. I will be back for the wings and the pork buns!"
