I am a Seattlite currently living in S. Korea, I have to say this menu sounds better than the real thing! I know where I'm going to dine when I come home!
@4: The noodles weren't gummy-as-in-chewy, they were gummy-as-in-losing-their-noodle-integrity (with a surfeit of sweet sauce not helping matters). I called Revel last night to double-check on the noodle type, and the person who answered said she thought they were wheat noodles, and that they'd call me back, which they haven't yet. Noodle mystery!
For the record, I love all kinds of noodles very, very much. A gloppy-to-the-point-of-unidentifiable $15 bowl of them = pretty sad times.
My name is Pat, I'm a sous chef at Revel. Chef Yang and myself were the ones who made your kalbi burger and hangover soup the day you came in for them.
To answer the question you posted under your review of our restaurant, our noodles are in fact made from unbleached wheat flour. Feel free to send along any other questions you might have about our dishes.
On behalf of Revel, thank you for both your compliments and criticisms. It's nice to be appreciated for the results of such a labor-intensive menu, and criticisms help us improve. Usually our noodles are spot-on, but occasionally we stumble, as humans are wont to do. We've been addressing the issues you've brought up, and hope you and others will come in again sometime in the near future to enjoy a bowl of our duck noodles as they're meant to be enjoyed.
