Floor-to-ceiling green tiles and the mechanical flutter of a kinetic flap board mark the space on Level 1 of Westfield Century City. While the Momofuku group often leans into ambitious projects like Majordomo, this venue fits squarely into the rhythm of the upscale mall environment. It operates as a casual, all-day kitchen where Korean staples merge with American comfort food, stripping away the ceremony of a tasting menu in favor of speed and volume.
The interior is lined with electric orange accents, centering on an open kitchen that keeps the room noisy and energetic. The menu prioritizes shareable plates, with a dedicated section for kimbap that moves beyond standard fillings – expect rolls packed with spicy bluefin tuna, fried chicken, or Australian wagyu. These often arrive alongside beef tallow-fried sweet potato wedges, a side dish that appears on nearly every table.
For a substantial meal, the kitchen sends out ssäm – lettuce wraps filled with spicy chicken thighs or ground short rib blends – and large mains like grilled striped bass. The dining room accommodates the crowds typical of the complex, seating up to 150 guests between the tiled interior and a covered outdoor patio shielded by a green metal canopy. It is a busy venue suited for groups, but solo diners can easily slide in for a quick lunch near the Santa Monica Valet entrance. If you are driving, parking in the mall’s Blue Lot puts you closest to the door.
