"After watching Iron Chef: Legends and rooting for Esther Choi kill it as a fellow Brooklynites with couldn?t be more excited to order from one of her restaurants Mokbar BK. One of her sous chefs she brought on the show was the main chef from this restaurant and she absolutely killed it during the competition! We ordered food on Uber Eats and delivery was very fast ~30 minutes). We ordered variety of things classic ramen just as a baseline, house special kimchi ramen,dumplings and the famous Korean chicken. Below is the review of the food: We started with the Korean chicken and it looked very good. It had this glassy texture although on the bite it did not have the crunch that we were expecting. Weordered it spicy, but there was hardly any bite to the chicken and the seasoning on it was good, but not great. Next we went to the dumpling which was probably the best part of the meal. The sauce made them they were steamed to perfectionsand were overall pleasant. Lastly the biggest disappointment were the ramen dishes. The broth tasted like it had a years worth of sodium intake in it. Extremely salty. Despite the salt which affected the chef significantly. The meat inboth of the dishes was very bland almost boiled, egg did not add any taste or texture. Noodles were fine. Kimchi was very mediocre this restaurant suppose to be famous for kimchi). Very very disappointing. Maybe we set our bar too high.Seeing Chef Choi present judges with perfect food and them saying that was the best food they ever eaten made us dream of it. But the unfortunate reality is that the food wouldn?t just not be worthy of an excellent restaurant. It wouldn?tbe eaten from any restaurant. We tried to like it very hard. Looking for a perfect bite. But sad truth that at best the food was good/ok. At worst with ramen dishes plainly unbeatable. I hope Mokbar will find a way to meet the expectationsthey set by appearing on iron chef. Because at this moment the food they are serving is no"
