Momofuku Noodle Bar opened in August of 2004 in the East Village and is the first Momofuku restaurant. It serves ramen, buns, and a roster of dishes that change with the seasons.
All Externs will work alongside Momofuku’s Cooks to learn every aspect of the kitchen. Our restaurants vary in concepts and so do our kitchens, offering unique experiences and development to each Extern. Externs will not only experience an extensive kitchen but execute passed plates, a la carte offerings, chef specials and evolving and seasonal menu items. Momofuku partners with a number of culinary schools across the country to offer required externships to students, though it is not a requirement to currently be enrolled in culinary school. The ideal candidate has a passion for culinary arts and a drive to grow and develop within the hospitality industry.
