Of course I had to try the famous Pork Buns. It was very warm and felt very 'homey' when I bit into it. The pork belly is soft and does fall apart/melt in your mouth to an extent, the bun is soft and everything tied together with the hoisin sauce (kind of like Peking duck). I think it could use more scallions and cucumbers - could not taste/see it in mine.

The noodles were unlike anything I've eaten before - firm and slightly salty. The broth was quite oily and salty after the first few spoons. The pork shoulder and pork belly (2 pieces) were both soft, and the pickled cabbage and scallions add a good kick to cut into the fattiness/saltiness of the noodles and soup. It didn't look like it at first, but it's a pretty large and filling portion and overall it was too salty and oily. 

Tried a bit of this and it doesn't taste like traditional kimchi. Looks thick and oily and the daikon was hard but I like the rice cakes!

Overall, I have to say that taste-wise it's not that great, but the whole concept is very refreshing and new. It's definitely a unique dining experience with a modern take on Korean, Chinese and Japanese dishes. The dishes may look Korean/Chinese/Japanese, but when you taste it, it's a different story - different in a good way, though some areas of execution can be improved. From the lucky peach name and logo to the creative twist on simple noodles and buns, it all comes down to branding and I think Momofuku is successful because it has created a niche, especially in Toronto where we need more variety and crave for something different.
