"Underneath the corporate veil of its Westfield Century City location, Super Peach takes on the attributes of crowd-pleasing concepts like Houston's or even the Cheesecake Factory but with the indie restaurant excellence that has defined David Chang's Momofuku brand for more than two decades. Chang's original New York restaurants wove modern Asian diasporic flavors with classic American archetypes, a theme that goes more mass appeal here than ever."
"Naked fried chicken wings come with sweet-spicy and honey garlic sauces to dip into, retaining a crunchy edge for every bite. Savory donuts recall hot-from-the-fryer korokke with a molten coconut-curry filling that's meaty and comforting. Spicy tuna gimbap offers plump, sushi-quality ahi tuna laid out on a glinting crystal plate. Chicken salad is a textural masterpiece, with shredded cabbage, pickled chiles, and cashews assembled like a Monet-esque haystack and evenly coated in sesame dressing."
"Lobster noodles pay homage to Chinatown's Majordomo but with chile and garlic-laden chunks of lobster resembling a doubanjiang sauce. Think futuristic diner with sleek stainless steel walls, a heavy contrast of teal with red-orange, and a mixture of tables with comfy banquettes. The shaggy ceiling texture evokes the feel of Elvis's Jungle Room at Graceland. There's a very wide range of portions here. Soft tofu is a few spoonfuls and skewers are smaller than appetizer size, while gimbap and savory doughnuts are pretty filling."
Super Peach occupies Westfield Century City and presents Momofuku-influenced modern Asian diasporic flavors merged with American comfort-dish archetypes. Menu items range from naked fried chicken wings with sweet-spicy and honey garlic sauces to savory donuts filled with molten coconut-curry. Spicy tuna gimbap and a textural chicken salad offer sushi-quality tuna and layered textures with pickled chiles and cashews. Lobster noodles feature chile- and garlic-laden lobster reminiscent of doubanjiang. The dining room pairs sleek stainless steel and bold teal and red-orange contrasts with a shaggy ceiling texture. Portions vary widely, and mains are sizable enough to share.
