Master Critic Review
Mokbar - Chelsea Market
8.0
Korean-inflected ramen in a food-hall format, with broths shaped by kimchi, smoky pork, and roasted ginger. Bowls hit bold and spicy, and the stall’s fast cadence suits a market crawl. Not traditional Japanese style, but culturally important to Chelsea Market’s noodle ecosystem.

Kimchi Jjigae Ramen, Ssamgyetang Ramen, Ho’Cakes Pork Buns
