For parties of six or more, please call the restaurant directly.Because of staggered theater times we can only guarantee reservations made online for one-and-a-half hours. Apologies, but we don't reserve tables "only for drinks."For reservations after theater, please check your show's running time on our website.Since 1965, Joe Allen has been a quintessential New York restaurant serving a classic American menu in the heart of the Theater District.

First time visiting Momofuku and really enjoyed it! My friend and I got the garlic chicken ramen and the smoked pork ramen and both were delicious - tasty broth, tender meat, yummy! We had the tahini soft serve for dessert and it was really nice, not as sweet as regular ice cream so it was great. Service was attentive. Will definitely return!
