Yesterday, a friend and I decided to finally visit Momofuku CCDC which opened almost a month ago at the DC city center area. Momofuku is a New York based restaurant chain since 2004, and it keeps expanding its business in many major cities in US and Toronto.
We went into the restaurant around 6:30pm knowing that there would be a long wait, we got on the waitlist, and the receptionist kindly took our phone number and informed us that we will receive a text message when our table is ready. I think Momofuku CCDC chose a good location to attract guests. here are many things to do including shopping at the City Center or grab a coffee at nearby coffeeshops, great ways to kill the waiting time.
Since it was a Sunday night, there wasn't much to do around dinner time in the area, most shops were closed as well. We chose to join the another line for the sister bakery Momofuku Milk Bar right next to the noodle bar to get their signature cookies and soft serve(picture 1).
Around 8pm, we got a table and got to eat finally. The atmosphere in the restaurant is great, there are many japanese art designs on the wall. I really liked the noodle bar in the center of the restaurant (picture 3). Our server was very friendly and passionate, she was able to give us great suggestions on food orders. So we ended up with getting a good combination of dishes for us two to share.
The overall experience for this first visit was great. I am hoping to come back again next time soon, and hopefully it will be a shorter waiting time.
