They serve a lunch menu on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and it is currently priced at $175 – please allow at least three hours for consumption.

The dinner menu is served seven days a week and is currently $125 – please allow at least two hours for consumption.

Corkage charge is $45, although they do offer a large selection of wine, sake and beer as well as beverage pairings to accompany your meal. Serving superb International cooking (it is definitely not a Japanese sushi bar or karoke lounge as many are led to believe due to the name, which means “lucky peach”).

You are gladly welcome at Momofuku-ko, as long as you abide by a few stringent rules including: reservations can only be made by email after establishing an account and can only be made online through the reservation website; no photos are allowed; no cell phone conversations inside the restaurant are allowed; and few provisions for dietary-restrictions are provided. No Photos and yet, a picture tells a thousand words . . . isn’t this unfair? In spite of these obstacles, this still remains to be one of the hardest reservations to come by in NYC.
