Momofuku, the restaurant group based by David Chang behind Chinatown's Majordomo, is opening a 200-seat restaurant referred to as Tremendous Peach at Westfield Century Metropolis within the spring of 2025. Taking up the previous St. Marc Pub-Cafe on the primary ground, the expansive restaurant. it is going to be extra informal than Majordomo with an power much like Momofuku's Noodle Bar in New York's East Village. The projected worth per particular person is about $50 to $60.
The identify Tremendous Peach is a continuation of the Momofuku model nomenclature that was impressed by on the spot ramen inventor Momofuku Ando. Momofuku means “fortunate fish” in Japanese. Peach advertisements abound within the model's restaurant decor and outdated publication, Fortunate Peach.
Momofuku has ebbed and flowed in recent times, opening quite a few eating places in New York Metropolis and shutting as a result of pandemic. Final week, the restaurant introduced a brand new Caribbean-inflected spot for the vacant Ko house from former Momofuku Seibo chef Paul Carmichael. Momofuku introduced a Noodle Bar in West Hollywood in 2018 earlier than scrapping these plans (that house was briefly Onizuka).
Earlier this 12 months, Momofuku drew criticism for trying to rebrand Chile Crunch on account of the model's acquisition. Chang backed down and apologized, saying the corporate was not sending stop and desist letters.
The restaurant group's foray into Westfield Century Metropolis joins a busy and more and more compelling scene within the sprawling Westside mall, which is able to quickly host Katsuya and Casa Dani from modernist chef Dani García. Elsewhere within the largely high-rise workplace space, New York's Sushi Noz, Miami's Kyu and Montreal's Estiatorio Milos will open behind the Fairmont Century Plaza, including three extra eating places to the neighborhood.
