Reviews for mdk noodles (Myung Dong Kyoja) in Los Angeles, CA

Very delicious Rice Cake Dumpling Soup! This is definitely my favorite item here. The pork mandu taste homemade and the broth is... so flavorful! I highly recommend ordering this for an authentic and hearty hot soup. The Myulchi Kalguksu was just okay. Theanchovy broth was very clean tasting, but too simple for me. The noodles were always just okay. A bit mushy in texture. Therewas a long wait on a Saturday around lunch time, so the waiters were swamped trying to keep up. Overall, it was reallydelicious, but I wouldn't order the kalguksu again. Read more

Dumplings were juicy and delicious. The soy bean cold noodles were tasteless though. And the hot knife cut noodles weren't... handcrafted, and didn't contain the burnt onion hints that the Korea outlet had. Still, it was comforting to eat it on a coldnight! Read more

MDK is a consistently solid restaurant that has been my go-to noodle spot for a few years. highly recommend the chicken kalguksu... (a life changing broth i swear) and the bibim kalguksu (a great, spicy, saucy cold noodle for a summer day). their kimchi is myfavorite of all the kimchi ive eaten in my life lol super garlicky (if you?re into that). hefty portions that justify the priceeasily for me!

All of the food they had a very garlicky taste which is my favorite! The parking lot is behind of the building and they charged... me one dollar. I am a big fan of their kimchi more than the main dish I had in here, spicy noodle soup has a rich flavored andit?s a big size so I kinda hard to finish the soup myself. Read more

Parking is ample as they have their own lot. Food was incredible. The Kim Chee that was given was perfect.

There is a $1 parking lot down the block. The kimchi is sooo garlicky and delicious! I know a lot of people can finish a bowl of... kalguksu by themselves, but if you pair with an order of mandu, it?s a perfect size for sharing. Read more

Went here after seeing the reviews. I actually give this place a 3.5 stars, but rounded up because I like to help restaurants... vs bring them down with the tough environment due to Covid. Noodles were not the traditional hand cut that I?m use to. Truehand cut should not be uniform and thickness should vary. These were over cooked and seemed like very basic store bought. I?msure it?s homemade and done through a machine though. My favorite for Kalgooksu is Hangari, just my opinion. Overall the placeis clean, flavor and noodle texture were just OK. Dumplings were good.

ATTN ALL GARLIC LOVERS: If you love the intense flavors of garlic as much as I do, you're going to love this noodle joint. As... soon as you sit down, a server will bring you two kinds of kimchi. For the time being, ignore the white colored kimchi and focuson the red one, because this is where happiness is stored. This red kimchi has so much garlic, so much flavor, that I couldn'thelp but smile with each bite. I had already finished a serving king kimchi by the time our food had come out, but it's a goodthing that they offer refills. Enough about the kimchi though. The chicken kalguksu is always solid and is definitely one ofthe best in Ktown. It's unique in that the broth is chicken based, but there are no pieces of chicken in it. Instead, it comeswith a few mini dumplings and ground pork, but despite this, I would prefer this dish over the kalguksu at Hangari. The steameddumplings are also a must have. The wrapping is extremely thin and each dumpling is STUFFED with fillings. It is best eatenwhile still hot and steaming. There is only street/metered parking. Parking shouldn't be difficult if you come around 6pm, butby the time 7 or 8pm rolls around, parking could get difficult. Read more
