The name Momofuku has gone from the stuff of NYC legends whispered by my brother in law, to a pervasive empire reaching into major cities and my grocery store's freezer with it's delicious Milk Bar brand ice cream, so was excited to score a reservation at their Vegas restaurant in the Cosmopolitan. I was there solo for a concert that ended up being canceled (I don't want to talk about it) and was seated at the Chef's Bar which provided a really great view of their cooks in action doing what they do. (You want to see meat pounded, the Chef's Bar is for you!) I'm a vegetarian and was happy to see a few different options for me on the dinner menu. I opted for Green Curry Rice Cakes. The overall flavor of the dish was great and it was a hearty size for just me, though the rice cakes themselves were a little rubbery. I kind of wish I had opted for a noodle dish since that's more of a signature item at Momofuku and it might have offered a better experience for my palate, especially since it was my first time there, but I was having a big noodle meal a couple days later and I don't want to over-noodle myself. My server was fantastic, sweet, and attentive, and the "show" at the chef's bar really was fun to watch. I'd definitely come back and try some of their other vegetarian fare (noodles, I'm looking at you). They clearly know what they're doing, despite the fact that the rice cakes wasn't my favorite thing ever.
Beautiful hotel which is also kid friendly. Really cool restaurants and off course their aquarium with mermaids on display. When I visited Santa was also in the fish tank and his elves were assisting little ones with their Christmas wish list. The place is beautifully decorated for the season. The fountain inside is filled with fishes which is adjoining to bass pro shops. I love the vibe. This is one of the last few places with free parking in Las Vegas with lovely staff.
The food was good and flavorful. The garlic shrimp as well as the (3) Taco Plate, which, included Chicken, Shrimp and Carne Asada, were a good size and priced accordingly. All were packed with meat and topped with sautéed vegetables. The plate came with rice and beans, which, complemented the tacos very well. My only issue was with the tortillas. They could have been cooked a bit longer which, would have provided a bit more flavor to the overall dish. My waiter was vey friendly and suggested some of the most popular menu items, which, I appreciated. The restaurant has a standalone bar located in the center which, is a great focal point to entice those walking by to come in. The two hostesses working the front were very professional. They greeted me upon entering and when I left. This simple gesture is often overlooked by businesses but means a great deal to customers and will keep them coming back. I’ll definitely be back and I recommend you give this place a try.
