Momofuku, once sprawling with 13 restaurants, now reduces its footprint while launching Kabawa, its first new venture since 2019. Led by chef Paul Carmichael, Kabawa will emphasize Caribbean cuisine, merging influences from his Barbadian roots with modern dining. The menu includes a prix fixe option featuring traditional Caribbean dishes. This shift comes after the closure of Ko and signals a new direction for Momofuku, which is diversifying its culinary offerings while still reflecting David Chang's innovative spirit.
Carmichael's return aims to redefine the Momofuku brand with Kabawa, emphasizing Caribbean cuisine through a three-course prix fixe menu and Bar Kabawa's offerings.
The closing of Ko marks a strategic pivot for Momofuku, as the company reimagines its future with Kabawa, blending David Chang's vision and Caribbean flavors.
