  Great atmosphere and even better service provided by D (Danielle) during our dining experience here. They have chef bar and regular bar for seating, plus the dining area. We ordered a couple appetizers to get us started, then decided to order two entrees as well which was waaay too much food for us two. The cauliflower was unique and tasty and the pork buns were delicious. The waygu steak was also delicious and cooked well and paired well with a sauce, but we enjoyed the Branzino the most. We ate every last piece of it before leaving.

  Our server and other staff were great. I was in with a group and we had a reservation, which ended with us being sat about 20 min late for dinner. I had the Iberico Pork-mouthwatering and amazing. It melted in my mouth, and the crust was incredible. The best bites were with a combo of the pineapple and garnish The shishito peppers were delicious and pretty sure I got the spicy ones. 🤣 I can't recall the cocktail I had, but it was just okay. It had a bourbon taste to it, but it didn't contain bourbon.

  I ordered the shoyu ramen, and was disappointed… the broth was salty and unbalanced. The shredded pork didn’t go well with the rest of the elements, gave me an oily aftertaste. It lacks some freshness that the green onions didn’t delivered. The chilli oil ordered separately was just plain chilli oil, why not the chilli crisp oil? It’s momofuku after all. Unfortunately this is a place that doesn’t make me go back, neither recommend to friends.

  Had to cool me down to take another round Now I'm back in the ring to take another swing That the walls were shaking, the Earth was quaking My mind was aching and we were making it in Vegas.. We settled in at "Momofuku" in the Cosmopolitan.. The entry is deceivingly small looking..then enters a large pleasant Dining Room.. We started and finished this culinary adventure w.. Glasses of "Akitabare Sake" most delightful.. Then shared.. "Ginger Scallion Noodle" pickled shiitake, wakame salad, cucumber and plump Shrimp. Each bite excited every "good taste" bud available..&..."Hold! "Crispy Lamb Ribs" chili yogurt, tingly salt, cilantro.. Each bite was overwhelmingly delish... You just couldn't stop screamin Ahhhs.. trying not to cause a din.. An unassuming culinary treasure in this City of Sin..:) Momofuku, "You really got me and you shook me all night long Ooh, you shook me.. All Night Long!"..:) Best, a&b

  We had a wonderful lunch at Momofuku in the Cosmopolitan and would definitely recommend it, though for us it was a solid 4 out of 5 stars rather than a perfect 5. The experience started off on a high note. The host greeted us immediately when we walked in, checked us in quickly, and had us seated inside within minutes. The vibe of the restaurant was spot-on with lively and buzzing with energy, but not so loud that you couldn’t have a conversation. The design of the place is modern and stylish with a touch of edge, exactly what you’d expect from a David Chang restaurant. It felt both casual and elevated at the same time, making it a great place for friends, a date, or even a solo stop if you’re staying at the Cosmo. We began with the buns, which are clearly a staple on the menu. The pork buns were soft and fluffy with tender pork. They were enjoyable and worth trying, but for us they didn’t completely wow. The flavors were good but not exceptional, and we felt like a little extra sauce or boldness could have pushed them over the top. It wasn’t that they were bad, in fact, they were tasty, but compared to everything else we ordered and other places we’ve had this similar item, they just didn’t stand out as much. The small plate that surprised us was the Spicy Cucumber. This was a fantastic dish, crisp cucumber slices served cold, lightly dressed, and refreshing. Despite the name, it wasn’t overwhelmingly spicy, which we actually appreciated. It was balanced, bright, and something we would happily order again. Sometimes simple dishes end up being the most memorable, and this was one of them. The star of the night was the ramen. We ordered the one with mushroom broth, and it was unlike any other ramen we’ve tried. The broth was rich, earthy, and layered with flavor without being too heavy. The noodles were perfectly cooked, springy and satisfying, and they soaked up the broth beautifully. Every bite felt comforting and unique at the same time. This dish alone is reason enough to visit. We also ordered the cold noodle entree which was just okay. Service throughout the evening was another highlight. The team struck the right balance between attentiveness and giving us space. Dishes arrived at a well-paced rhythm, not rushed, but not so slow that we were left waiting. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and professional, and the overall pacing of the meal made the experience relaxing. The only reasons I’d rate this as 4 instead of 5 stars are the buns and cold noodles, which could use a little more punch, and the fact that while the food was excellent, it didn’t feel completely unforgettable in the way that a top-tier Vegas dining experience can. That being said, the ramen and cucumber dishes more than made up for it, and the atmosphere and service were fantastic. Overall, Momofuku delivered exactly what we were hoping for: creative American-Asian food, a lively environment, and professional service. If you’re staying at the Cosmopolitan or nearby, this is a strong choice and one I’d recommend to anyone looking for something memorable but approachable. We’d gladly return, next time I’d love to try more of the menu and maybe see if the other buns or large plates deliver that extra spark that pushes the experience into 5-star territory.
