    I had brunch here this past weekend. The eggs in hell (2 eggs in tomato sauce with a slice of grilled bread) were fine, but nothing special. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the side that I ordered. The menu only described it as "mushrooms." So I expected ordinary mushrooms. What I got was a side of maitake mushrooms with lightly crispy tops and meaty bodies, with a soft cheese "sauce" (like ricotta) next to them. I would go back for those mushrooms.

    Citizen Burger in Clarendon has fried pickle spears, but I agree that fried spears are inferior to fried slices.

    Chef Morimoto's Momosan (ramen plus other dishes) opened on April 8, 2016, at 342 Lexington Ave (between 38 and 39th St). I've eaten there 4 times, and I really like it. My favorite is the lunch set. A small don (rice bowl) and small ramen for $16. The zuke don, which is raw tuna with soy, sesame, nori, scallion, over rice, is my absolute favorite. Chunks of very fresh raw tuna with a soy sesame seasoning over rice. I've had the tonkatsu pork ramen as well as the tan tan - coconut curry ramen - and enjoyed both. The broths are rich. The ramen noodles are good but aren't as springy as the noodles at Daikaya. I've also enjoyed the chashu salad - lettuce, cucumber, slices of pork. The dinner menu has a larger selection of appetizers. I didn't care for the duck in crispy wonton skin (like a little taco), but that was because the sauce was sweeter than I like. The buta kimchi -- sauteed pork jowl and kimchi - was flavorful and delicious. The $2 side of rice was on the smaller side, however. I could have gotten 2 sides of rice.

    I enjoyed meeting him at the Peking Duck outing, and before and after meeting him, I was impressed by the quality of his posts. I'm really sad to hear about his passing.

    Yes, at the bar, you can choose what you want for drinks. I had dinner at the bar and pre-paid $150 for food. Once I was there, I was given the option of the alcoholic beverage pairing ($100) or a cocktail or wine by the glass. I didn't ask, but I would assume you could ask for the non alcoholic pairing as well. As of last week, I think cocktails were available at the bar but not the dining room. I enjoyed both the presentation and taste of the coffee cocktail ($20 including tip/tax) (I'd order the coffee cocktail with dessert).
