First Taste: Inside David Chang's Momofuku Nishi

Think Noodle Bar and Säam in terms of decor and set up. The restaurant has two rooms: five communal tables and three high tops in the first room and two high top communal tables in the back. Great menu set up; not too overwhelming and pretty reasonably priced considering there’s no tipping ($20-$30 entrees). It’s essentially an Italian menu with a serious Chang twist. The first section consists of “Appertivo” options such as Spanish Mackerel Tataki. The second section, Myun, was all pasta and the third course was made up of both meat and fish options. There were also a few “Contorni” to accompany the mains. Tip: There’s a helpful numbering system on the bottom right of the menu with helpful hints about how to eat certain dishes/detailed explanations.
