Ruth Reichl is the first bona fide critic to file on Momofuku Ko, and she asserts this for VIPS and restaurant industry folks everywhere: "Halfway through dinner at the new Momofuku Ko it hits you: You will never eat dinner here again." And she doesn't mince words about the food either: "...a bowl of lychees topped with grated frozen foie gras is set before you. It reconstitutes in your mouth in the most amazing way as you take one bite, then another, fascinated by these textures. And now there is the richest, silkiest short rib you have ever tasted...one of the most intense pieces of meat you’ve ever put in your mouth." [Gourmet]
