Start with Brussel sprouts + pork rinds + of course the pork buns. Skip the momofuku ramen bc if you're looking for that deep pork bone broth, you'll be disappointed. Get the Kimchi stew if you can.
Laura LaussadeJune 17, 2018Finally tried David Chang’s pork ramen. It was fantastic. The broth was smoky which is unlike any ramen I had before. The pork in the pork bun was cooked perfectly. The menu is eclectic but great.
BenApril 14, 2016We went for beef noodle soup and the spicy cashew noodles. Both were fantastic. We also loved the egg and pepper app. Pork bun was good but glad we steered for the non-hyped items on the menu.
Ebrahim BandookwalaMarch 7, 2019Good food and a nice place to get brunch on the weekends. There a bit odd though when their dishes run out the heat they could do is offer decent subz but... French cultured butter is the real deal
EDUARDO ROMEROMarch 12, 2018Menu changed in November, still pretty good. The flat iron steak is superb. For dessert I highly recommend the Crack Pie (from Milk) and a double-espresso on ice.
Rebecca BrownOctober 24, 2017Enjoyed the ham but not the red eye mayo with it. Never had it before. Quite strong. Best pork belly I've ever had! Good service. Nice buns!
Katherine GarciaAugust 14, 2016It was really really good! Momofuku ramen was really delicious! It's worth it. At the end I asked for a mint and they don't have.
Rachel LFebruary 26, 2017The Chinese Broccoli was so good. So we're the hand pulled noodles and Brussels sprouts. Don't miss the brisket buns
Jonathan LSeptember 4, 2017CCDC is a combination of menu items from the mediocre Momofuku restaurants in NY (except Momofuku Ko, let's be clear). The chilled spicy noodles are a good choice, though the portions are small.
Arik MorrisDecember 29, 2017A visit to Momfuku isn’t complete without a pork bun and bowl of ramen. Pro-tip: bowl is likely enough to feed two if you want to sample.
JH H-DDecember 29, 2019The bings are a no brainer. If you love garlic, the garlic shrimp noodles were fantastic! On a scale of 1 to vampires will be running away, it’s easily a 9.
Spoon UniversityOctober 18, 2016The one dish that everyone was excited about was Chang's iconic bowl of ramen that arguably started the whole ramen revolution. If you’re still hungry after, grab some dessert from Milk Bar next door. Read more
Peter ParkDecember 27, 2015Pork buns were good. But Momofuku ramen was, and I use this word after lots of thought, *terrible*. It tasted burnt, like burned meat! NYC one was amazing, so yea, I was greatly disappointed :(
Allison AbbottFebruary 21, 2016The pork bun was AMAZING. The Juniper cocktail was great. Unfortunately the Momofuku Ramen just didn't do it for me, nor did the cauliflower. May return for the bar, but not likely the noodle dishes.
ArdvaarkFebruary 15, 2019Soft serve from Milk Bar (next door) is available on request, if you’re not digging the desserts on the menu. 🍦👍
John FagerholmJanuary 27, 2016Pork buns and the pork stew were amazing, pricey (typical of D.C.)but worth it.
josef jonJuly 12, 2017The wings were 💯 but the wack bartenders and freaky DC downtown crowd has me never come back ✌🏼
W FrankensteinOctober 24, 2016Pork bun is a must. But so is, well, most things. Get the mapo tofu pappardelle. So delicious!
Kwame Som-PimpongJuly 20, 2016Arrived for dessert. Was told we couldn't just have dessert, but could do a drink and dessert. Sat down for a drink and dessert. Was told we had to go to bar to have drink + dessert. Left.
Jasmine 💫July 30, 2017We tried the pork ramen with a side of spicy sauce. It was good, but nothing to write home about. Also, the shiitake buns appetizer and panna cotta dessert - not worth the overkill on the price hike.
Charles BaltimoreJune 24, 2016Everyone is correct, pork buns! Beef noodle soup a little spicy, but awesome. Crack pie for dessert.
The shrimp & pork dumplings 🥟 are just perfect. Just the right amount of spicy!
Mark AndussJune 3, 2016Kimchi Stew is gigantic. The spicy cucumbers are great. Buns are pricey (for 2 buns).
Kristine UntalanNovember 1, 2015Momofuku ramen was okay, but go to Sakuramen if you're craving it. You can also order Milk Bar items here! No waiting in two lines!
Leandro LageraMay 31, 2016I wanted this to be as good as the original. It wasn't. Big space trying to be too much of everything. The truffle ramen...though
Brisket and shrimp buns, Momofuku ramen, crack pie. Eat. It. All.
- Annie MattJanuary 28, 2018PORK BUNS ARE AMAZING! You can also order from the milkbar in the restaurant.
GloFebruary 9, 2017Liked my pork ramen. Was okay about the Shiitake buns (a tad too much sauce for me). Crack pie was NOT for me (like a thick molasses cookie?!).
Behrad EatsJanuary 23, 2016Don't leave without having the slurpalicious Momofuku Ramen with pork belly, pork shoulder, and a poached egg
Thaís SoaresFebruary 14, 2019Meh... this place has let me down. I wish we had a Momofuku noodle bar in DC instead.

"Pan Asian dining overlooking the marina. Every dish was authentic and flavorful. Try the Penang Curry, Whole Fried Fish, Stir Fried Green Beans. For cocktails try Lasing, Carmen, or Golden Pineapple."
