Mdk Noodles

Location:My dad said this was a popular Kalguksu (knife cut noodles) restaurant that opened a new location near us. It's in a bit of a dead plaza but still pretty easy to find. It wasnt crowded, even on a weekend night, so we were immediately seated.Service:Good service with attentive staff who helped us quickly whenever we called them over. Food:The food was overall great and met exactly what we were expecting. The cold noodles were very refreshing. My favorite dish was their kalguksu which had very chewy noodles. They make their dumplings in house so the dumplings were also great, my favorite one being their shrimp and pork. Thin, chewy skin! They are also known for their kimchi, which they sell larger batches of. It was very fresh and paired so well with everything. I wish I could take the leftover complimentary kimchi home, but understandably, you aren't allowed to (since they sell it separately). They still happily refill the kimchi while you are eating, though.

Came here on New Year's Day for dumpling soup as traditional for my peeps. This was the 1st time visiting MDK. The facility is rather big w/many tables. We arrived right after opening so no waiting around. We were greeted by I believe the owner and the lady was very nice. We ordered the fried dumplings, rice cake and dumpling soup and bibimbap. The soup was delicious and just the right amount of spicy. The bibimbap was huge, enough for 2 people. The only thing I didn't like was the fried dumplings, which were really small and a little cold when we received it.But besides that, a great find while looking for a rice cake soup place near Anaheim. We will definitely come here again. Check out the pics!

Pretty spacious restaurant. Service is very friendly and welcoming and the ladies are constantly going around checking for water and kimchi refills. The kimchi is amazing by the way! Just a lot garlicky haha.I got the spicy kalguksu which was a first but it was good! Their dumplings are also really good.

My favorite dumpling place! I always come here for their rice cake dumpling soup. This place is well known in Korea bc I believe it has a Michelin star. This place was recently remodeled and it looks great outside and inside. Before the plaza was really ghetto but now I feel safer coming here. Once you come here you'll be back for more. Service here is friendly and you can even buy a jar of their famous kimchi. It's so worth it. I buy about jar and take it to the Bay with me

Got the mul nengmyun and Knife cut spicy chicken broth with beef. Food was alright but wasn't anything super special in my opinion. service was good though and I can't complain about anything here but it also did not stand out to me.

I heard that MDK noodles is as close as you can get to authentic kalguksu in the states. There is plenty of seating inside so even though I came on a Sunday during dinner I was seated right away. The server brought over complimentary plates of red and white kimchi as soon as we were seated. The red kimchi is very garlicky and fresh; just like how I like it. The white kimchi wasn't too vinegary and very lightly pickled. I like the variety and it's a nice break between bites of your main entree.I got the kalguksu with anchovy broth which came with lots of wood ear mushrooms, some slices and carrots, zucchini, and onion. It's a huge bowl of noodles and will definitely fill you up. The broth so so thick but subtly sweet and savory. I didn't try the kalguksu in spicy chicken broth but I believe it comes with ground beef on top. The pork bulgogi had a lot of onions in it (like half of the dish) so beware if aren't the biggest fan of onions. There was always a server walking around with a cart to refill your water or kimchi at all times. I would love to come back to give the cold noodles a try!

Korean food makes me happy...If I'm starving, it's a good time for Korean food!If I'm pretty full, it's a good time for Korean food!I was able to try MDK Noodle on two separate occasions, and it was good both times. The interior is minimalistic at best....almost sterile.The waitstaff rushes around with pushcarts filled with menus, banchan, and water...it's pretty fun to watch.They shoot over to your table drop everything off, and they are gone!Once they come back around, you are able to order....and then they show up with your food on the cart. Its that simple!The surprising part was that you never receive tableware or napkins. There is a hidden shelf built into your table and everything is inside!The dishes we tried were tasty and the portion size was decent. We weren't blown away by the flavors, but it was satisfying. The items were a little expensive for what they was...but that's everything nowadays...This is your place if you need a quick, expedited sit-down Korean restaurant. It's relatively fast, and you can eat and get out of there if you really need to.Enjoy!

So delicious as always! Love that they give you 3 plates of kimchi banchan: one white kimchi, one garlic kimchi and one EXTRA garlicky kimchi. It was so fricking good that we bought a 32oz jar for $17. They also sell a half gallon jar of kimchi for $34. Came on a Sunday lunch and they were very efficient: there was someone walking around with a dolly to disperse water and banchan every 10mins. Tons of tables inside so no wait at all. Pro tip: utensils and napkins are located in a side drawer under the tableParking:- plenty in large lot shared with other businesses

Its still the bomb.....Myulchi kalguksu hit at a soul level, bibim kalguksu is bomb, kimchi pancake was 7/10, and pork dumplings were so juicy and good!!!!

Food is delicious! I love the pork dumplings, theyre so chewy and flavorful. The noodles were both great, the naengmyeon was better than the kalguksu in my opinion. The sweet pear pairs well with the cold noodles. The kalguksu broth is delicious and hearty. Only complaints are that both noodles didnt come with much protein compared to noodles ratio. Service was great, super attentive and friendly. Speedy!!The inside is spacious and has tons of tables. Everything looks clean and well maintained. Only thing is the outside of the store looks intimidating and the plaza its located in doesnt feel very popular.
