  • NileGuide Expert Says:

    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.

      Great casual gourmet dining

    • My favorite thing is to eat at the casual cafes that are a branch of a more formal - hard to find reservations unless you book weeks ahead - type of restaurant. In this case it was...
