Booked a table for 3 on a Saturday night 30 minutes before turning up at 8pm and had no problem getting a table. This is one restaurant that definitely deserves to be way more busy than it is.Decor: The designer put in some thought and love into many pieces of custom-design #15-related pop art.

Decor: The designer put in some thought and love into many pieces of custom-design #15-related pop art. The setting is casual, mostly bar stools, not my favourite, but after settling down with a drink and some nibbles, it was actually quite relaxing.
Here's the menu for pricing reference:
This is from the momofuku playbook: Slow-cooked iberico pork belly bun with kimchi mayo and pickled cucumber. The pork belly was melt-in-the-mouth, and paired extremely well with kimchi mayo (kimchi gave the mayo a good kick) and pickled cucumber (much better than plain cucumber). The bun was a bit too thick but had good texture and was useful for the clam juice (below).
You can never really go wrong spicy garlic anything. The spicy garlic clams with amontillado sherry was great. The clams were fresh, all open, and cosy in their cast iron pot, with delicious seafood broth at the bottom, which we drank up.
Hands-down winner of the evening: ** 12-hour confit crispy boneless suckling pig with sauteed apples and pears. ** The skin was SUPER CRISPY and cooked through, when the fatt layer turns into a crumbly layer of umami bomb. The meat was extremely tender, juicy, and hot. The small diced apples and pears accompanied perfectly. I can honestly say that this is the best piece of pig I have ever had. (It's worth noting that others have tried this dish on other days, and said that it was very nice, but not displaying the death-defying greatness of this evening. So whether you get to pig heaven does depend a little on luck).
Squid ink seafood paella. Was too busy eating, forgot to take a photo of the entire pan (which had 1 halved prawn, clams, mussels, squid). The rice was well done, al dente, flavours just right. (We did tell the chef not to make it too salty when we ordered). The seafood was all good, except the mussels - they were thin and tasted muddy.
The calamari was hot and crispy, but the batter could have been a bit thinner (it was absolutely fine but I'm a fan of barely-there wisps of batter).
I don't have a sweet tooth, so can't comment too much. The churros were hot and crispy, passionfruit is a nice addition to white chocolate. The banana toffee parfait was quite good, carefully constructed multi-layered with different flavours and textures (crispy, soft, smooth, chunky etc.).
I would recommend Numero 15 to friends and I would return for dinners with friends and also to try the better value-for-money set lunches.
