The story
Momofuku Ssäm Bar serves Asian and Korean-American cooking at Pier 17, 89 South Street in New York City, and the Michelin Bib Gourmand (2026) recognizes its good quality, good value cooking.
David Chang opened Momofuku Noodle Bar in New York City in 2004 and built the Momofuku group from there. The group is known for reshaping contemporary Asian-American cuisine. Chang has won six James Beard Awards, which places his work in the wider conversation about the cooking this kitchen comes from.
The World's 50 Best Restaurants ranked the restaurant 26th in 2010. That placement put the Momofuku name among the best-known addresses for Korean-American cooking in the United States.
