Up-and-coming chef David Chang opened this larger and more ambitious eatery to go along with his Momofuku Noodle Bar. With a menu reading “We do not serve vegetarian-friendly items,” it's a packed showcase of his delicious Asian-accented cuisine.
Description:
- Loosely translated, the name of this place could be taken to mean "Lucky Peach's Burrito Bar". If the name seems a bit more exotic than the translation, then it's just a fitting match for the food: like a real burrito bar, it's informal and fast; but in this case, it carries an international flavor and is presided over by a famous restaurateur. Ssäm can mean anything wrapped in Korea, so head up to the bar and choose out a creative combination of things like kimchi and pickled shiitakes to be wrapped in a flour pancake or bibb lettuce. Late-night tapas and an excellent cheese selection also feature on the menu.
