Super Peach by Momofuku: A Culinary Allure at Westfield Century City
Peaches might not always be in season, but at Westfield Century City, thanks to the acclaimed chef David Chang and his team at Momofuku, they feel like they are. The powerhouse of culinary innovation has launched Super Peach by Momofuku, a vibrant dining experience situated in the heart of this bustling mall and entertainment complex.
A Space Designed for Flavor
Located on level one near the Santa Monica Boulevard valet entrance, Super Peach has been meticulously crafted by INC Architecture and Design, a firm renowned for their work on the original Momofuku Noodle Bar. Stepping inside, diners are greeted with an inviting ambiance that features a lush palette of green hues, enhanced by splashes of Momofuku’s signature saturated orange. The spacious venue hosts 196 seats and includes an outdoor patio that accommodates an additional 24 diners—perfect for those sunny California days where al fresco dining reigns supreme.
A Flavorful All-Day Menu
Super Peach presents an extensive all-day menu that begins with enticing starters. Diners can indulge in Korean fried chicken wings, sesame-marinated cucumbers, and fried shrimp paired with pickled red onion and lemon mayonnaise. For those who lean towards heartier flavors, the glazed pork belly with a soy and maple glaze paired with various grilled skewers promises to deliver.
Kimbap Delights
The Kimbap section is a standout, featuring vibrant rolls such as bluefin tuna combined with cucumber, avocado, and crunchies, or fried chicken adorned with pickled chiles and spicy mayo. If you’re looking for something really indulgent, don’t miss the Australian wagyu beef wrapped in crispy shallots with a drizzle of the unique super sauce. As servers proudly highlight, the SP Chinese chicken salad is considered a “flavor bomb,” offering a refreshing mix of cashews, crunchy noodles, and a specially crafted Super Peach vinaigrette.
Main Courses That Satisfy
Move on to the main courses, where the options are equally tantalizing. The seared king salmon, accompanied by a refreshing watercress salad and rich bonito beurre blanc, is a dish that promises both elegance and satisfaction. For pasta lovers, the mushroom lo mein featuring maitakes, king oysters, and shallots is an unmissable delight.
Those in the mood for something heartier can opt for slow-cooked baby back ribs slathered in honey-soy BBQ sauce, or indulge in lobster noodles infused with ginger, garlic, and lemon. With a variety of steaks on offer, there’s something to please every palate.
A Culinary Legacy Continues
Super Peach isn’t the only gem in Chang’s expanding culinary empire. His footprint also includes Majordōmo in Los Angeles, the famous Momofuku and Bāng Bar in Las Vegas, as well as multiple Noodle Bars across New York City. With each venue, Chang continues to innovate and redefine the dining experience.
