There’s not much left to say about Momofuku Noodle Bar.  All NYC Food Guy can reluctantly add is that the food is truly worth the ever-present wait.  Most dishes are delicious (except for the tamales) but if I could only eat two, it’s the Steamed Pork Buns ($9) housing a ribbon of crispy, fatty pork belly resting on a dab of hoison sauce and topped with sliced cucumber and scallion…

…and the Momofuku Ramen ($16), a steaming porky bath of springy noodles topped with bamboo shoots, crisp nori, sliced kamaboko (white fish cake), chopped scallions, pulled pork shoulder, more pork belly, and crowned with a single, decadent poached egg.  Crack the egg, dip some pork in the yolk and brace yourself for the swoon.
