Wanted to try some pastrami, but they were sold out of almost everything.
Burger - very good bun and I loved the pastrami mixed into the burger, it added a smokiness that is even better than bacon. Also enjoyed the pickles - everything is housemade. The potato salad and chicken soup were o.k.

Bar Tartine **'
Langos - delicious fried bread with yogurt and fennel fronds. I'd come back just for this.
Romanesco pickle - yes.
Pig ear terrine - spicy, well balanced with radish and greens and acid.
Brussel Sprouts - nice good, very interesting, not just the usual fried brussels, fragrant and had a bit of sweetness.
Fried Oysters - good fry, juicy.
Nikolakis - cheese dumplings - disappointing, a bit gummy and the creamy sauce had a sweetness that I didn't like.
Fisherman's stew - spicy savory very nice if a bit overseasoned.
Chocolate Torte - chocolate with a merenge and a tart creamy topping. O.k.
Chicken Paprikas - not very strong paprika flavor - tender chicken - but flavors were somewhat muted. It was not at all like chicken I had in Budapest,a bit more refined. I wouldn't get this again.

Tasted about 80% of the menu. Favorites were the crab sunumono and the kaki age (fried shrimp). Other dishes also good, like the chicken wing skewer and the fresh tofu.

Korean Seaweed Soup
Momofuku's Bo Ssam - the skin is basically pig candy - I could not stop eating it and thought about it for a few days afterward.
Mochi-covered fresh strawberries - all handmade from scratch, soft delicate mochi skin covering red bean and a fresh strawberry. So light I ate two. Great presentation and it tasted as good as it looked.

Hiza - chicken knuckle, salt, lemon great texture and flavor - I'd come back for this.
Skin, matcha salt lemon - great flavors.
Pork skewer - what you expect, juicy.
Monkey face eel agedashi - nicely fried, if a bit chewy eel, in a wonderful broth, well balanced.
Well executed food with a lot of finesse in the flavor compositions.
