Any recent dinner visits to Momofuku Ko?
I haven't been to Momofuku Ko for dinner since November. Has anyone been there recently? Do you recall your menu? Thanks for your help.

I haven't been there since last year... I'd also love to hear what's new there.

We're going to New York for the weekend in three weeks (for my birthday). It's an eating trip.
We're going to try to get in to either lunch or dinner there.
It's crazy complicated to get a reservation though!

Check Chowhound or eGullet.

Thanks Kathryn! As you may know I frequent the CH and EG sites. I wanted to check with my friends here at SE as to whether anyone has had a more recent experience since the courses at Ko change fairly frequently (as you can see from the CH postings). I'm going next week.

I went to Ko on Valentine's Day (don't ask me how I managed that one!), and my meal was pretty similar to 1justeat1's. Nearly everything except a relatively unexciting halibut dish was terrific. Highlights included steak with brussel sprouts, pasta with snail sausage, and the fluke sashimi with poppy seeds in buttermilk sauce. The chef said that the menu changes drastically every month, with tweaks made on a daily basis.

Guava and cream cheese is such a classic combo. Yum. Pls report back after your meal. Still not sick of hearing about Ko.

Still the same menu (as cdeegs) as of last night, only different amuse-bouches. Pork rind and biscuit were there, but we also had a Wagyu beef tartare with fried lily bulbs and a shrimp sashimi with sliced snap peas.

Same menu as talida. One word to describe the meal: "yummy!". My favorites: biscuit, fluke, egg, pork belly in kimchee consome, foie gras, sorloin, guava sorbet and funnel cake. Staff was very attentive and warm. Overall superb experience.
