After a decade downtown Toronto, Momofuku said its is not renewing its lease and will shut the doors on three-storey University Ave. operation on Dec. 23
A decade after Torontonians first lined up hours for bowls of ramen, platters of bossam and pork belly baos, New York-based chef David Chang’s restaurant company Momofuku announced that it is ceasing operations in the city on Dec. 23.Thursday about company’s exit from the city, citing an anonymous former employee.
“After 10 incredible years at 190 University Avenue, momofuku Toronto is closing on December 23. We have decided not to renew our lease at the location,” the statement said. “We are deeply grateful to the Toronto community for the support over the past decade. Thanks to the teams past and present and the guests who joined us over the years for making momofuku Toronto such a special part of the Momoverse. Toronto will always feel like home to us.
Momofuku is also offering employees of the Toronto operations who stay through the closure a $2,000 retention bonus, said Monica Narula, a spokesperson for company. Momofuku opened to much fanfare in Toronto in September 2012 inside a stand-alone three-story glass building at 190 University Ave. Each of the building’s floors had a different restaurant concept. On the first floor is a ramen restaurant Noodle Bar, followed by second floor bar Nikai and third floor restaurants Shoto, which served tasting menus, and Daisho, which did family-style platters.
