Ok, I'll chime in here. I ate there recently and it was very, very good. I am a mere mortal and I was able to get a reservation with a little bit of persistence. I don't consider myself a food snob and I basically break down my dining experiences on a scale of Horrible, Not Tasty, Tasty, and Really F*$!-ing good. Ko received the highest of these ratings and I would gladly spend more money (and more time getting a res) there than for a mediocre meal at other high end restaurants in the city (like Persimmon, which I ate at the other night).

Can you guys set up a Momofuku-free RSS feed?

Matty, that's an excellent question, it would be funny if they covered it but never ate there. Personally, I'd love to eat there (for dinner) if I had more free time to go out. It's become the default restaurant I daydream about, displacing old places like Nobu where I never ate, either.

Screw that, I'm going to White Castle.

The wisdom of the great Yogi known as Berra comes to mind when Momofuku Ko is mentioned: Nobody goes there anymore...it's too crowded!

Has anyone at gothamist actually eaten at this place?
