I've dined there every night since it opened and I have to say that I'm actively searching for another place to eat since they began letting creepy bitches wearing floppy hats in.

Thanks "TimSPC" & "Judah" - for a moment there I thought I was taking crazy pills.

this post is absolute gibberish. you really should rewrite the whole thing, or better yet, scrap it entirely.

I was sitting next to Cheryl (WSJ reporter) at Ko that night she went, and she seemed to really, really enjoy the food, which in the end is the most important part of this story.

This post is incoherent. EDIT FOR SENSE.

I recognize the words, yet none of this makes any sense.

"Well, PerSe or El Bulli maybe..." Are you one of those people who drop those names because you read that stupid san pelligrino top 50 restaurants in the world list? yes, yes you are.

i've eating at momofuku over the years and i got pretty excited about ko. however, i've been trying to get a reservation for 1 1/2 weeks and just gave up. i got better things than to hammer out requests at 10am like im trying to win a porsche on AMEX wishlist. i still go to noodlebar because saam is just pretentious and packed. i also noticed that at one point saam had higher prices than noodle bar for the same menu items? (i could be wrong about that. maybe bar raised theirs as well) anyway, saam is like, bwargh. maybe for non-koreans its like, "wow", but i've had better and WAY CHEAPER ($300 for pork butt???) also, wtf is up with $7 OB beers. Remember those $9 or $12 hitachinos? fuuuuuuug dat. At least the Orion is big. Btw, the sweetbread was one of the most perfectly fried things i have ever ever ever ever ever ate in my life. so, Ko, yeah, I dunno? I doubt I will ever go. I "heard" you need to get a reservation first. anyway, noodle bar is still the best and they should bring back the crawfish!

I'd never go anywhere with somebody that says "resi"... Not Momofuku, not PerSe, not El Bulli... Well, PerSe or El Bulli maybe...

Yeah I'm kind of sick of hearing about this place. I also wish Elvis Costello didn't call his new record Momofuku. I feel like everyone in New York is going to be annoyed by the title now.

How is this even remotely "news"?

Also, is it "resi" or "resy"? Both are in this post.

Momofuku is the new Shake Shack. You gotta pay to play in the Gothamist game...

Are you relentlessly posting about this restaurant because you've never been there? This is like the 30th article about it - and none of them have to do with the food.
