Myung In Dumplings

Delicious I love cold noodles

Wow the steamed dumpings were so good. Very friendly workers, clean bathrooms, lots of parking. Cant wait to come again to try the rest of the menu.

Authentic Korean restaurant that specializes in dumplings. I’ve been to the Koreatown location a couple of times but never realized this place was so close to Walnut. Came here on a Saturday at lunch around 1pm and was seated immediately. There were a few other groups already seated and chatting animatedly. We were given a pitcher of water and the menus were already at the table so you can order pretty quickly. All alcoholic drinks are $8 - the waitress swirled around the makgeoli which I had never seen before but it was cool to see. She quickly brought out the banchan plus a sauce. The banchan was super fresh and the one that was brown with a light sauce had a spiciness that crept up after you’ve finished chewing it. The two of us got the rice cakes with ramen and an order of Korean dumplings. The rice cake dish ($13) was huge - it could easily have fed four people. The carrots were super crisp and fresh and I liked the generous amount of fish cakes and rice. The dumplings were also extremely good ($9) and were handmade. You can see one of the workers making it by hand by the counter. Very large portions and the sauce you can put on it was delicious (soy sauce based). When we were finished, we paidnat the counter where she had our check waiting. For an Asian business, the service was friendly as she stopped by to check on how we were doing at one point. There’s bathrooms available and they do take credit card. Overall a very hearty, delicious meal for a reasonable price.

Another great LA Koreatown extension to this area and quality remains intact! At certain times of the day, you can see the grandmas in the corner making the magic with their skilled hands. Aside from dumplings and baos, they offer other dishes on the menu that doesn't disappoint.
