Anyone who is a fan of shoving deliciousness into their face already knows about Momofuku. Over the years, chef and owner David Chang has garnered respect for his empire of flavor not only in New York City-where his impeccable string of restaurants began-but the world over. In Canada, the peachy brand is still stretching its wings, which is why we felt like it was a good time to showcase Toronto's Noodle Bar, Daisho, Nikai, and Shoto-the four arms of Momofuku Toronto-to show how one of the planet's most tantalizing food brands has Canadianized itself in a seriously impressive way.
Not only did we hang out with the crew of this massive culinary endeavor on their home turf, but we took them to Edulis for a pressed duck dinner and Parts and Labour, where fellow MUNCHIES friend, chef Matty Matheson stuffed the Momofuku Toronto crew with lobster grilled cheese sandwiches, fried quail, pig's head, and whiskey shots. After all that, we circled back to Momofuku for a gigantic rib eye, more drinks, and fried chicken.

I got so hyped when Matty showed up :D
YOOOOO MATTY! 😁
A slightly narrow minded acquaintance of mine with a very, very limited palate one day decided she wanted to be a little more open about international cuisine. She remembered seeing some of us obsess over a dish called tteokbokki in the past - it's a Korean dish made with those exact rice cakes in the video, simmered in a sweet, savoury and spicy soupy sauce. It's a national favourite in Korea for all ages. Despite her declaration, she seemed very apprehensive about trying it, but to her credit, the little miss braved it and started chewing. A couple of very slow camel chews later (you know the kind, where they move their jaw in a circle in a single chew, very exaggerated), she spat it out immediately, claiming that it had the weirdest texture, and she couldn't stomach the chewiness. That's fine, it's not for everyone, except that I recall her response was 'what the fuck, that's not even food. I mean, no offence, but you guys eat some weird ass shit'. (The 'you guys' was directed at one of our friends who is Korean - I assume she was also meaning Koreans in general, although I wouldn't be surprised if she meant Asians in general.)
Cut to about a month later, we end up at Momofuku, and order that very rice cake dish in the video. We don't tell her what it is exactly. But she doesn't even notice that we don't - she's just so fucking ecstatic to be at 'oh, my, god, Momofuku. I HAVE to Facebook this.' She starts eating. I know this may sound exaggerated, but I kid you not, she does that whole shoulder heave as she rolls her eyes back and says 'MMmmmMMMmmm oh that's sooo good!! It's like, so different! It's like, a bit soft, a bit chewy.. oh it's like eating slightly chewy gnocchi!!' She thought it was the most creative dish in the whole world. Ate over half the dish by herself. Selfish and pretentious twat. Needless to say, the rest of us at that dinner table rarely see her these days.
they said that, that dish is a momofuku calssic dish. david chang is the chef who started momofuku who is also a korean. so i would assume that it was inspired by his cultural background
luke pak My point was more that when the rick cakes (that specific style being called garae ddeok) were presented to her in its authentic Korean style, she was very judgmental and went into it with preconceived notions that it was going to be disgusting. But when the same ingredient was used in a dish from a 'hip' restaurant, she wouldn't stop raving about it. I wish I could say that perhaps it was because the dish - sauce, flavours etc - was the difference that caused her to act like a twat, but it was more that one specific ingredient she kept referring to in both occasions.
at first i was like "whats the point", then i was like "ooooh yea", had those exact same moments with people who judge purely form where it comes from, this also includes clothing
KC Elle nature of my country's streetfood served in a restaurant. id bet the same thing would happen with hotdogs and odeang ( fish cake) on a stick
You shouldve called her ass out on it... people like that are so infuriating!
what great acting LOL 3:42
His knees melted.
Lol!
yeah that mafucker bust his nut right there
One of the better episodes of Chefs Night Out. Thoroughly enjoyed this one!
literally live 15 mins from momofuku, really considering going there after see all the hype and walking past it when going to Pizza Libretto :D
My favorite part:
Sam: "We need a butter wheel. I've never seen one of those before in my life."
Matty: "Like 80 bucks!"
Sam: "Well, I want 2, then."
I can now see why everyone has been talking about Edulis for the past few years. The place/food looks amazing.
that was a dope video. I'm (kind of) surprised to see how many negative comments could come from such an enjoyable, interesting, and chill-vibed video. Looks like a great work atmosphere. Being in the city often, Im definitely going to try a couple of these Momofuku joints soon!
I have been passing by this restaurant everyday for eight months without knowing anything about the wonder that are happening inside.
"why this has so many views?"
**Matty shows up**
"Ouuuu, shit, that's why"
Really chilled out but skilled chefs. Love to see this side 👍🏼
It's absolutly loveley to see something like this. it show's me again and again that I'm still not good enough and have to push myself. x)
This, this is what I want to do when growing up. It just looks incredibly fun and enjoyable. Strive to be here someday
Wow, have never seen such colourful dishes. Looks fantastic.
This awesome kind of family environment is what i miss about working in a restaurant.
So many things i could learn from just one this episode! It'd be awesome to join this family!
ahhh some of them dishes are to die for
I'm salivating as I'm watching this. And crying too...
I love watching munchies sooooooo much !
All this fucking food and I'm here eating ramen and cereal but no together
***** wait what? cocksauce?
***** wait really though peanut butter? Do you do this with oriental flavor?
Random fact: momofuku refers to the inventor of instant ramen, Momofuku Ando.
***** I lost it at cock sauce
***** Momofuku refers to "Lucky Peach." Who cares if the literal translation is instant ramen or lucky peach.
Loved this episode! Need to go to Momofuku asap!
god, i wish i was that good at cooking and that sociable and had friends. :\
partykrew666 Lol I’m sad that this comment only has 8 likes :(
Oh well, at least it has 9 now :)
at least you're not the only one : )
These are like rich white people pass time. Fake laughs friends, temporary never permanent. I hung out with people like that give it a few years you'll find out that's all they ever do is drink and eat.
Rich or White or whateva all anyone can do is pass time.
Fake is a choice you may or not make.
Everything and everyone is temporary.
Drink and eat now because alive is a short warm blink and death is forever.
Being good at cooking is far more attainable than many skills.
You must eat. You have money. You have time.
SO...all the opportunities and motives are in place, make things you like to eat , keep it simple practice it over and over .....Being as good as a World Class Chef is setting your sights a bit high.
That facial expression from the guy at 3:40 is priceless!
1:56 holy shit, they are in Toronto! I live like 20 minutes drive from there!
Unbelievable!!!
I admire these young cooks and I also envy them for following their dreams!!! 6 more years and my military career will be over and I will be able to follow my dream!!!
I enjoyed this vid so much!
They look like a great team, having a ton of fun!
Really do not get why there is so much negativity in the comments section...
I'm gonna need all these portions to be a little bigger. Thank you.
happy to see that pressed duck is comming back, if you think about it, it is sooo oldschool
Nothing like Chefs and those days of hanging out tasting other chefs food after work and being pissed drunk till the sun comes out.
Matty and his kitchen had me weak lmao
Im gonna try this place I live in Toronto so might as well.
awesome definitely going to try these places next time im in the city!
14:35 gets me every time

Best foodie video i've ever seen.
Man... I want to live this culinary rock star life... haha
Can't even comprehend how many hipsters are in this video.
how yea, just thinking the same thing, but the food looks good has fuck!
You can't even define the word hipster.
?
In the states, it seems hipsters rule the chef line of work haha
Yeah I hate ever single one of the chefs @ Momofuku Toronto and I've never even met them. It's just from this video.
I love the awkwardness at 14:35
Daiso..will never forgot the food. Everything on the menu is good. Yummy. They will surprise you
I've been to the noodle bar in Toronto. Expensive yes but very good food and great experience!
14:35 what a fucking stud move

A legend was born. Im a cook round same age as Matty and he is my fucking idol. He cooks what he likes and dous not give a fuck. I know he is sober now but his attitude is the same. Love this guy
2:55 Good to see Kip is spending less time on those internet dating sites, and more time in the kitchen. Good for him

The "Canard à la presse" reminds me something with Action Branson :)
*Bronson
fuck, this is like an episode of 'the office'. So much awkward in 1 video..loved it!!
Yes! Outstandingly fun video. When you rock the hours, one night has to suffice for the month. Lovely food, well served to real people.Blessings ChefMike
Wow. Must check this place out
the awkwardness at 15:20
I fucking love matty, he makes me crease with laughter.
I'm in pain just watching this! How can one eat and drink soooo much in one day? Whew, marathoners.
Matty with the Supreme hat
We got Mr.Observation over here
I liked when John Goodman carved the roast beast.
I love my city...
2014 was the best year for Munchies.
Okay everytime I'm in toronto i never go in here .. I always walk passed it and I live so close .. Next time i feel like a good salad I'm going here .. Maybe tonight !!:)
Great episode
I choose the wrong path in life..shouldve become a master chef.
im a master baiter so close enough
I worked under Sam Gelman and Mitchy Bates at Momofuko KO for a little while and although I'm not the biggest fan of Chang, those guys were fucking hilarious and very talented chefs. The food at this Toronto location looks pretty banging.
-Bates 2.0
Despite all the talk about hipsters and whatever, I think the family and team efforts made by the restaurants is excellent. It really makes a work environment better when you're spending more time with them than your own family.
Matty is the fucking shit.
Looks delicious
great spirit! :)
got dam.. they need to bring a momofuku to LA... dam my mouth is watering.. dam would love to work there.. just to eat
@3:15 chefs be in the pass doing shit like this thinking theyre all that 😂
walked past this place about 300 times and never knew what it was till now
i drove by this place today!
And?
whats the name of the song that goes du du du du dud duu du du duuu 1:17 . Has a nice ring to it.
The guy with the glasses was different than how I thought he would be lol
This f'kin looks like the best place in the world for food! Nice ... :) :D
Wow, a total example of what life's like when u spend all day cooking with people that have to find u funny....except for matt.....he's the real deal!
I gotta go here.
Don't know why 'hipsters' is the main theme in the comments when the video is showcasing fantastic food that looks amazeballs ~_~
Gotta agree on Kane tan on this one
made me so hungry :(
I visited here last year during summerlicious, it was okay, not bad but not great either.
Ok can I please move to Toronto now? This alone makes me want to be a Canadian.
It's crazy how we are as chefs we say it as it is and no fucks given😂😂
that french restaurant looked nuts
Now that's a chefs night out..........
living that dream
wait, i watch this twice, and I just realised that Matty is in this video... holy...
Gordon Ramsay "that Ribeye is so fucking RAW i can still hear the cow mooing!!'
I don't get the hate, they're honestly just having fun and anyone mad about it is probably just jealous
NizzyNizerson
I'm very jealous. I'm not mad at them, but I'm definitely jealous.
where can i get one of those searing tools? fucking awesome
I've been to Momofuku in toronto and I've always enjoyed it! I don't think it claims to be Asian food just maybe inspired by Asian techniques or ingredients? I'm not expert but I find it's good and a nice twist.
