MyungIn Dumplings

We found this one by chance. We've eaten at the Northridge location several times and it's always amazing, this location is no exception! Everything is handmade, and fresh. The staff is so welcoming, kind and friendly. The restaurant is small but it's well lit and the booths are comfy. I haven't had a bad meal here you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. They also sell their dumplings frozen so you can take them home and cook at your leisure. We will definitely be back to this location. This one is located down the road from Knotts Berry farm and about a mile from Porto's bakery.

Shrimp tempura/fried rice/chicken/other foods were all so-so... The dumplings at this restaurant were so delicious that I thought the other food would be of a high standard as well, but it wasn't that...I think the way to maintain your reputation is to boldly stop selling other foods and focus more on dumplings. This is a common opinion of many people who went together about the taste, so it would be better if you definitely improve it or boldly discontinue it.The dumplings are the best in the OC area, except for the fried dumplings... I always want to come back just to eat the dumplings.

Very good dumplings but also very pricey. Small restaurant, no ambiance, and the one waitress is very nice. Lots of parking. They also sell frozen dumplings that you can boil and/or fry at home.

All the mandu (Korean for dumplings) are always famously freshly made to order at MyungIn Dumplings. There is also a good variety of dumpling choices and the way it is prepared: steamed, pan-fried, or in a soup. I like how generously they pack each dumpling shell with the fillings. If you order mandu with the traditional pork fillings, expect a lot of meat in there. I also like the rather thin shells (and not doughy) which somehow do not fall apart despite being stuffed with the fillings.I highly recommend any of the dishes I have tried, including steamed pork mandu, steamed kimchi mandu, Wang mandu (king-size dumplings), and Tteok mandu guk (rice cake and dumpling soup). The banchan (side dishes) are consistently good and the kimchi is delicious.It has been a while since I ate here and inexplicably did not review this place after I did. The original location in LA's Koreatown is popular for take-out orders. I get the same vibe here even though this Buena Park restaurant has a larger dining section. I noticed, upon my two or three visits here, most of the orders were to go. Apparently, the fried chicken has become a thing since my last visit and is considered very good here.

My go to spot for Korean dumplings is pao jao that's inside the food court at koreatown plaza. I've seen a a few myungin dumpling locations that I wanted to try it out and omg I'm so glad I did!I was afraid that it wasn't going to taste as good as pao jao so I only got one item. I got the Korean style kimchi steamed dumplings and it was.. SO GOOD!! I love the little spicy kick it had to them. I also loved that it had a lot of filling inside and it wasn't all just dumpling wrapper. I would definitely go back and try other items on their menu! I cannot wait!

TLDR: It's pretty good for a hole in a wall restaurant. You come here for the homemade comfort food and the general quiet in the area. A bit pricey for solo eaters but good in a group.Half Soy Garlic friend chicken: Chicken was made fresh and was crispy considering the soy garlic glaze. The sweetness doesn't overpower the chicken, and the garlic taste blends well. The chicken is a respectable size, so this can be split between 2-3 people.Pork and vegetable dumplings: It's homemade and it's good. You won't get strong flavors which isn't a bad thing. They feel light and a person could probably finish the whole plate, no problem. Service and miscellaneous items: Servers are okay. Nothing to complain about. You do get some Korean appetizers to start that are refillable, so that's a bonus. Taste wise. The appetizers are fine. Nothing to call home about.

Yooooo!!! YOU NEED TO TRY THE FRIED CHICKEN!This is probably my favorite fried chicken in all of SoCal. I will throw down with my hands and I don't usually eat with my hands! Something about the perfect batter, perfect crunch, makes the perfect bite! You wouldn't think the fried chicken would be the star here, but my friend, take my word for it! We tried different dumplings and all were good! Included were sides like pickled radish and kimchi which was super spicy! We tend to over order here and end up with leftovers. The leftovers hold up well too. The ladies here are nice and friendly, and efficient when bringing your orders to your table. The restaurant itself isn't too big small but can accommodate large parties if they put tables together. Lots of parties of 2-4 when we dined in. We've done carry out a few times too and the fried chicken stays crispy!

Finally tried this home style Korean / Chinese dumpling and noodles.Great customer services, clean stores, simple menu and many epople opt for take out.Tried their broiled dumplings, fresh, non frozen and tasty.Fried chicken is juicy flavorful and delicious, it goes well with the dumplings actually.Highly recommended.

I've never really been a wang mandoo person but this place makes me one!! Its the bottomless cabbage salad and side dish (the pickled radish and jalapeño banchan) that realllllyy make this so good. 3 of us ordered 2 orders of the original wang mandus and we all only ate 2 each. Its actually a pretty affordable lunch of really good quality and taste! Definitely coming back to try the kimchi one next time.

Very clean and fast service also accommodating the foods so good would love to explore more of the menu but the garlic soy chicken and the mandu super good tysm
