Momofuku Ko Restaurant

Momofuku Ko Restaurant

Tiny, tough-to-reserve eatery via David Chang offering multicourse, Asian-accented American meals. KO EXTRA PLACE first began in the Summer of 2020 as an outdoor pop-up menu featuring a la carte options as well as a 5-course Tasting Menu of Ko classics. Our new outdoor dining area, located in the historic alley of Extra Place, is well-ventilated and heated, with generously-distanced tables.

• Ko has two Michelin stars, which it has maintained since 2009.
• In 2015, Ko was awarded three stars by the New York Times.
• In 2018, Ko was ranked No. 76 on the World’s 50 Best Restaurants list.

Recommendation to experience Caviar spilling from a runny egg is one of many indulgences at this modern, classy David Chang–owned restaurant with two Michelin stars. He follows kaiseki principles for the $195 tasting menu, primarily sourcing local, seasonal ingredients and employing a variety of culinary techniques. Uni is daringly paired with fermented chickpea puree, and fish gets cooked inside an eggplant. It’s fascinating to sit at the U-shaped counter and watch the cooks’ rigorous attention to detail.
