You should have ordered some of the appetizers to get you started, those are great. I was really disappointed with my fried chicken experience. For what it’s worth, I think you can get better southern fried chicken at any number of holes-in-the-wall around the city, and way better Korean style fried chicken at Bonchon. Absolutely don’t think it’s worth the time and money when so many better options are available. But oh well, that’s my opinion I guess. I will say, next time you go, get the pork belly buns, they are really fantastic – sex on a plate.

@sickchangeup – that’s funny – how do you compare the Korean style at Momofuku to some of the Korean fried chicken places (like Bon Chon in K-town?) I think Momofuku should also definitely use more drumsticks for the Korean style (that might make me like the Korean style more!)

That’s funny, my group went for lunch Friday and we all definitely preferred the Korean style – everyone felt Old Bay was kind of weird with chicken. In the end there were three pieces of the buttermilk left, and none of the Korean – 7 of us. But we also went for lunch, so no one was eating crazy amounts.

Overall I think you guys liked it a bit more than we did, but $100 for 7 people is a good price and I would go back. We did add a jar of house pickles to the mix, which worked out really well too.

Awesome, I am definitely looking forward to next Tuesday’s dinner! That’s disappointing to hear the Korean style isn’t as good, but at least I have the Southern style to look forward to

Thanks again for the reservation!
