Restaurant Review: Super Peach in Los Angeles

I’ve been going to Momofuku restaurants for about 20 years, and I was so curious about Super Peach. The space is pretty informal, but it’s also comfortable in a way that feels almost uncharacteristic compared to Momofuku’s early projects. My first couple of visits, I found it a little generic. But recently things have coalesced with bigger flavors that seem more confident with very rooted modern Korean food. You can find very crowd-pleasing kimbap filled with beef or fried chicken or spicy tuna. There’s a jajangmyeon for two, a Chinese-Korean noodle dish that gets tossed tableside in its black sauce slick with pork fat. If this is Momofuku a couple decades in, in its gentle dad era, I think it also happens to be what many people want from a restaurant, which is to eat well, and to just feel a bit comfortable and taken care of.
