David Chang's Super Peach Lands in LA With Wagyu Kimbap
The Noodle Bar maestro reimagines American classics through a Momofuku lens at his vibrant new Century City spot
LOS ANGELES — In a city where celebrity chef openings are as common as traffic jams on the 405, David Chang is making a characteristically bold entrance with Super Peach, his latest Momofuku concept that landed in Westfield Century City this October. And true to form, he's not playing it safe.
Step inside and you're immediately swallowed by floor-to-ceiling vibrant green—a design choice so audacious it makes other restaurants' "accent walls" look timid. Momofuku's signature saturated orange wraps the open kitchen and intimate bar, creating a color scheme that shouldn't work but absolutely does. Designed by INC Architecture & Design (the minds behind Momofuku Noodle Bar), the 196-seat space feels like dining inside a perfectly ripe piece of fruit—if that fruit had impeccable taste and a James Beard Award.
But let's talk about what really matters: the food. Super Peach isn't your typical fusion concept, trying too hard to be everything to everyone. Instead, Chang and his culinary team have created what they call "American classics, reimagined"—a playful, collaborative menu that filters familiar favorites through Momofuku's distinctive pantry.
The kimbap section alone is worth the trip. Forget everything you think you know about Korean rice rolls. Here, you'll find Bluefin Tuna versions (available regular or "Actually Spicy"), Australian Wagyu Beef with crispy shallots and "super sauce," and a Fried Chicken iteration with pickled chiles that'll make you question why anyone ever stopped at plain tuna mayo.
The menu reads like a greatest hits album of craveable dishes: Korean Fried Chicken Wings with sweet & spicy and honey garlic sauces, Fried Shrimp done Matsuhisa-style, and Glazed Pork Belly with soy and maple that sounds like it could end friendships over the last piece.
Mains lean ambitious with Lobster Noodles, Slow Cooked Baby Back Ribs with honey-soy BBQ, and a Dungeness Crab large-format dish with crispy noodles and XO sauce. The steak selection includes a show-stopping Super Peach Marinated Bone-In Ribeye available in 20oz or 32oz cuts—because sometimes more is more.
The beverage program leans into creativity with cocktails like the Red Miso Michelada (yes, you read that right), a Mean Green Margarita with jackfruit, and something called Holiday in Saigon featuring rum, banana, curry leaf, and avocado. There's also the Duke's Style Martini for purists who appreciate a proper stir and lemon twist.
A kinetic flap board behind the bar—a nod to the original Noodle Bar's iconic display—adds vintage charm. At the same time, the 24-seat outdoor patio, enclosed in a green metal canopy, offers prime people-watching real estate.
Super Peach joins Momofuku's growing LA footprint, which includes the critically acclaimed Majordōmo (a Los Angeles Times "101 Best Restaurants" mainstay since opening) and the recent three-star New York Times darling, Kabawa. For a restaurant group that started with a tiny noodle joint in Manhattan's East Village in 2004, Super Peach represents Chang's continued evolution and refusal to rest on his considerable laurels.
The Details: Super Peach is open Monday-Thursday 11am-10pm, Friday-Saturday 11am-11pm, and Sunday 11am-9:30pm, with Social Hour specials Monday-Friday from 3pm-6pm. Reservations available on OpenTable.
Location: Westfield Century City, Level 1, near Santa Monica Valet Entrance (10250 Santa Monica Blvd, Los Angeles, CA)
