Was in the area so decided to try out this spot for kalguksu! Everyone knows Hangari so I wanted to try out another spot. This definitely felt more hole-in-the-wall. There were banners and signs for validated parking in the structure across the street but for some reason, it was closed on Sunday. We found street parking nearby instead. Coming around 11am, we were seated right away. It wasn't too busy inside yet. Staff have us menus and waters right away. They served us the banchans quickly too. I tried the #1 kalguksu which comes with three dumplings plus the noodles for $17.99. Broth was very savory and slightly thick. The dumpling didn't have much meat filling but was decent. I was stuffed after finishing this whole bowl!
Not feeling 100% well brought me to crave for something soupy and there MDK came up. Huge parking lot at $2 with validation, totally not bad knowing how tough finding parking in Ktown was. Huge well-lit space with relatively quick guest turnaround so it worked well even when you came in big group. We got their Dumpling Soup and Kimchi Pancake, both of which came in huge size that my appetite could def afford sharing! The soup was such comfort food with just enough seasoning, and the pancake carried pretty good toppings! Wish they had a seafood one.
Went to MDK for the first time and overall had a really good experience! The noodles were fresh and had a great chewy texture. I tried the dongchimi with chlorella noodles -- it was very light and refreshing compared to naengmyeon, although personally I prefer a little more flavor. Still glad I tried something different. Service was quick, portions were generous, and everything came out fresh!
Had a pleasant first time experience here for lunch! Parking - there is a parking structure on the same street where they validate for $2 if you eat there by scanning a QR code by the front cashier. Place was spacious with lots of seating. Portions are HUGE - definitely can share with people. We ordered the spicy kalguksu & the beef bulgogi & had decent leftover sizes to take home. Loved the flavor of the spicy kalguksu & how chewy the noodles were. Beef bulgogi was solid & came with a bowl of rice. Banchan was good - kimchi was super tangy which I preferred!!!
Summer days require a bowl of icy cold Korean noodle dish. This place is famous for their Korean noodle dishes and was here few years ago to try the others so had very high expectations. Unfortunately the 동치미국수 was far underwhelming. Honestly most places I've tried this dish did not meet the expectations. As a young girl there was a place in town that made The Best 동치미국수 (this place closed down in Cerritos), and have since been unable to find a place that came close. Nevertheless, I enjoy MDK. The 콩국수 soy bean noodle dishes is pretty darn good. May swing by to enjoy it before summers end.
Food 5/5 The pork dumplings, seafood pancake, bibim naengmyeon, and spicy kalguksu were all delicious! This left a good first impression on us. Service 4/5 Standard, nothing special. Wish they were a little bit more attentive. Moreso have to call for their attention. Ambiance 5/5 Lots of seating, open air restaurant.
The place to go for cold noodles or kalguksu knife cut noodle soup. There are some dumpling options as well. We got the raw skate cold noodles which were flavorful and good, they provide you with scissors to cut the noodles as you eat them. Not sure I would order this again due to texture preferences of the skate and noodles but it had great flavor. It was served with a bowl of amazing, very clean chicken broth. The kalguksu came with 3 dumplings and a ton of noodles. Very tasty but wish there was more meat or dumpling in it. This place is always quite busy but service is very quick. You get up to pay when you're done.
Standard lunch spot for Korean soups & dumplings. Loud, crowded, busy. The hyped cold arrowroot soup was just ok and did not live up to the reviews. Famous for its garlic kimchi ~ the most garlic ever tasted in kimchi, almost too much whileeating over powering the soups. Regretful eating so much of it with garlic burps all day long! LOL Dumpling hot & fresh to taste. Overall decent spot for lunch but a couple $$ too much for what you get. Parking garage validation across the street was a headache. Instructions do download the garage app in the restaurant was in Korean so needed a translation. When trying to exit the gate, the app would not detect the rental and we had call the support number and wait for a live person to assist over the phone :/
oo the noodles and dumplings here are very good big portions juicy juices yum yum!! but i think my friends got a little sad because the workers there seemed to be a bit too nonchalant towards us. kinda felt like they wanted to interact with us as little as possible. did i smell bad that day? no... i dont think so... the food is great though and tbh maybe i would be nonchalant like that too everybody has a social battery.
Was excited to try because I really liked the location in Korea, but this location wasn't as good. We ordered the original kalguksu, pork dumplings, and the bulgogi. They give you two types of kimchi as a banchan/starter and they were both good. The portion sizes was pretty good, enough to share. Surprisingly, my favorite thing that we ordered was the bulgogi. The kalguksu was just okay. The noodles could've been chewier/had more of a bounce and the broth didn't really have any depth, just tasted like plain chicken broth. The dumplings were full of leek and were juicy. Vibes: Pretty chill/quiet and there were mostly solo dinners (did go on a Thursday night) Service: Was nice, immediately seated. You do have to ask for water and cups since they just give you hot tea when you sit down. Parking: street parking and a parking garage right across the street that the restaurant validates
They're known for their knife-cut noodles, but every item on the menu is authentic and delicious. The real star of the show, though, is the kimchi. It has an intensely bold garlic flavor, easily the strongest garlic-forward kimchi I've ever had. As soon as you sit down, they bring out a generous dish to the table. Throughout your meal, servers come around with trays piled high with more and ask if you'd like a refill. The answer should always be yes. Honestly, it almost doesn't matter what you order, just pick something and enjoy the endless kimchi. You can't take any to go, so savor it while you're there. Pace the rest of your meal and take your time, making each bite of kimchi last.
Been coming here since the early 2010's and the consistency of this establishment has not changed. Maintaining the level of quality and flavor after so many years is why I will continue to support this restaurant. Service is mixed. My go-to is their house Spicy Kalguksu. Highly recommend!
These noods are legit! My girlfriend dad and I came for an early dinner and were throughly impressed. My cold spicy kimchi soup was built like a tank, it had a large serving of noodles, pleasant amount of cut veggies, and perfect for a refreshing/savory bite on a hot day. Our beef bulgogi was also amazing in my opinion. The meat was exceptionally savory, slightly sweet and was my highlight of the dinner. I'd easily return to try more dishes :-)
Luckily, the wait was not too long for MDK noodles on a weekend afternoon. My friends and I were seated within 10 minutes. I tried their rice cake & dumpling soup, while we all shared their pork dumplings. The soup was warm and satisfying, with chewy rice cakes and dumplings in a light, savory broth. The soup had a simple, comforting flavor that was great for a rainy day. The pork dumplings were also delicious, with a tender wrapper and flavorful, juicy filling. Solid spot for some Korean comfort food! read more

I was on a work trip and had to order dinner just for myself to eat. I delivered the Spicy Kalguksu and pork dumplings, both of which were still piping hot when it arrived 20 minutes later. While this may be a factor of it being delivered, the noodles were extremely mushy. Not even slightly softer than al dente, but very bloated. I could not even finish the bowl since the noodle texture made it not that great. The spiciness of the soup seemed to overwhelm the flavor of the broth itself, which was disappointing. However, the portion sizes of both the noodle soup and dumplings were great. I could tell the quality of the ingredients was high, especially with a mountain of vegetables and 3 dumplings already coming with the bowl. The dumplings were soft and honestly the star of the meal, I would've loved a specialty sauce to go with it. The kimchi was SPICY as well but tasty. I don't want to knock it down to 3 stars as I felt like it's unfair that I got takeout, but there's a chance if I'm in town again I would rather try the original kalguksu soup in person for a chance that the noodle soup is a better texture. read more

If you're looking for something cozy yummy comfort food like we were, this hit the spot! The portions are generous, my friend and I split the #1 and the dumplings, and had leftovers. The kimchi banchan have a nice kick of spice without it being overpowering. Parking can be tough, but free at meters after 6p. read more
Went with my friends and none of us really enjoyed what we ordered, besides the one friend who got their signature Kalgaksu. She really liked it. The dumplings tasted pretty average and were overpriced for what they were. My friends said their bimbimbap was average too. On my end, I had their cold chlorella noodle with raw skate. So far, it's probably the worst dish I've had this year eating out. I didn't even take a picture of the food since it wasn't good. The skate was a disappointment...the taste was ok (typical kimchi style flavor) but the texture was awful. I felt like I was chewing on rubber. The noodles were ok, but because the flavor was so monotonous (typical kimchi red sauce flavor), it became unappetizing after the first bite. I do give them credit though, their portion sizes are huge. That's respectable in 2026, when lots of places are skimping on portion sizes. read more

the cold noodles at this place are chewy, refreshing, and just the right amount of spicy! my favorite cold noodle dish from MDK is their bibim kalguksu, by far. the portion they give is large, being enough for two people (or one very hungry individual lol). their water kimchi side is also very nice. the service is polite and the inside seating area is very large - reminding me a bit of a cozy cafeteria. there are multiple types of parking near this location - most notably a parking structure across the street where parking can be validated by the restaurant. read more
Came here on a Saturday around 5 pm. There seems to be $2 parking for the restaurant but me and my group took the metro here. The restaurant is just down the street from the closest metro station. We were greeted immediately and told to wait while they set up the table. When we got to the table, kimchi and water were already set up! The inside is very bright, with modern light wood furniture and bright tile flooring. The ceilings are pretty high and there is a decent amount of seating. Half of the tables were probably taken around this time and there were a few TVs on playing a live FIFA World Cup game which people were watching. I decided to order the 3 of us: 1. Kalguksu, 17, bibim nengmyun, and 25. Beef bulgogi. Everything was out pretty quickly and everything was delicious. The beef bulgogi was good but nothing too special. Sweet and savory with plenty of onions and served on a hot plate. My dad has been to Korea more than a dozen times and says that this bulgogi isn't close to as good as he's had, but that the noodles were very good. He says this bulgogi could be more Smokey, with a grilled flavor. I've probably had better bulgogi around as well so probably wouldn't come just for it, but it was nice to have a dish with rice in addition to the 2 noodle dishes. The kalguksu was my favorite. Very savory and the broth was so good. The other 2 dishes came with little bowls of extra broth as well. Inside the kalguksu was 3 dumplings (yum), some well seasoned ground meat (yum), and very good al dente noodles (yum). The spicy cold noodles were also good. I typically prefer the cold noodles that come in the slushy broth but my boyfriend prefers this spicy one! It had fresh veggies, a slice of Korean pear, an egg, and a lot of delicious sauce that ended up not being too spicy. The red kimchi was more spicy than the noodles! Overall good food and good service, fast and efficient, no nonsense. Would come again for the noodle dishes which were around $18. read more

Unfortunately, the vegan dishes and others that sounded good were not on the menu today. The kimchis were very good. My noodles were soft without any bite. The dumplings in the soup were meh. The spicy broth was not bad, but also not very spicy. My husband thought his bulgogi bibimbap was overpriced and not as good as BCD and the Ktown Plaza food court. The short, wide stone pot doesn't hold heat as well as the taller stone pots and so the rice doesn't get crisp. MDK gets high marks for cleanliness. The space is casual and bright. Service is efficient and staff observe good hygiene practices. read more

We recently moved to Houston, and one of the things we've missed the most is good Korean food. We've been on the hunt for authentic spots, so when we found out MDK had a Houston location, we were so excited! We used to go to the LA location all the time, and it was always one of our favorites. I'm so happy to say the Houston location tastes just like the one in LA. Everything was delicious--from the banchan to the dumplings and the noodle soup. I was happily eating a bowl of noodle soup at 10:30 in the morning, and it absolutely hit the spot. The service was excellent, and parking was easy since it's right in front of the restaurant. We'll definitely be back for the noodle soup, and next time I want to try their cold noodles and some of the other entrées. I honestly can't wait to come back. 10/10. Highly recommend if you're looking for authentic Korean food in Houston! read more
Yesterday, Saturday evening, March 14th, I had dinner at MDK Noodles with my Mom and my brothers. I've probably been here more than 70 times over the years, from a very long time ago until now, but this is actually the first time I'm writing a review for this place. A long time ago, there was always a long line during lunchtime, and we often had to wait quite a while to eat here. But these days, whenever I pass by, it seems much quieter and not nearly as crowded as it used to be. Still, the kalguksu here is always delicious, so I continue to enjoy it every time I visit. I used to really like their shrimp dumplings as well, but at some point the taste seemed to change, so I don't order those anymore. Last night, all four of us ordered kalguksu, and we really enjoyed it. When you order kalguksu here, if you ask for rice, they give it to you without charging extra. The rice is very good, and their regular kimchi and water kimchi are both delicious. I also like that the spoons, chopsticks, and napkins are placed on the table so customers can take them freely whenever they need them. The broth for the kalguksu is very rich, and the noodles are wonderfully chewy. Also, every time I come here, the staff are always friendly, which is really good. read more

Dumplings were delicious! Strong sesame oil taste, great texture. Kalguksu was okay, noodles were the perfect texture but the dumplings in there were mediocre, and there wasn't much inside besides noodles. Broth was okay. Service was alright too, we waited a while to get the check. Interior is clean and comfortable. Would come again to try other menu items though! read more
It really hit the spot today since it was a hot day. They have free parking and street parking also wasn't hard to find. On a Sunday, they were not too busy for lunch so we did not have to wait. I really enjoyed their kimchi. The arrowhead noodles were also good, but if you like to eat meat, I'd suggest ordering something on the side like the dumplings read more

I'm so glad our friends introduced us to this amazing Korean restaurant. It is so packed, and it's legit. Their kimchi is so fresh, and one of the best I've had. Actually, all the food we ordered was pretty amazing. I enjoyed the food a lot. Their dumpling was perfect. The skin of the dumpling was thin and chewy and the stuffing inside was very flavorful. My son loves it. The seafood pancake was crunchy and a nice shareable appetizer. The noodles are huge portion. I should have split it because I definitely couldn't finish it by myself. If you want authentic Korean comfort food, definitely check this spot out. You can look for street parking or other paid parking lots near by. read more

I LOVE SOUP!!!! dumplings are delicious and i like that they have a thin skin. it was my first time trying kalguksu and it tasted great. the spicy version is also not too spicy if anyone is wondering. the kimchi at the table was some of the best i've had and loaded with spice--spicier than the spicy kalguksu lol. place is nice and spacious, service was fast. i recommend read more
Would come back just for the pork dumplings! The dumplings were delicious, as were the complimentary kimchi banchans. The regular red kimchi was extra garlicky and perfect for garlic lovers, and the white kimchi was acidic and tied the meal together. The knife cut noodles and the rice cake soup came in huge portions and delivered great value. I'm not sure if they were shortstaffed on New Year's Day but a number of the pork dumplings as well as the smaller/flatter dumplings in the soup came broken. I would probably get the pork dumplings again, save some room for the house kimchi, skip the kalguksu and try the cold noodle or bibimbap next time! The service was mostly prompt, the ambiance was casual, and there was quite a bit of a wait between the time we put our names down and the time we got seated. It's not in a plaza so may not be best for a very large group but great for a casual meal for 2-4. Street parking was available and it looked like they validate for a nearby lot too. read more

It's the new year day. We came here for dumpling rice cake soup. We were here at 11:30 and plenty of tables. We were greeted promptly. We ordered and got the two different Kimchis. Since it's a cold and rainy day, the rice cake dumpling soup was perfect. It came in a big bowl. The soup had a umami flavor. The rice cakes, dumplings, shredded potties, minced pork and seafood were perfectly complemented each other in the soup. The broth was really good. I could only finish half of the soup, some leftover for dinner. Since it's the new year day, there was plenty of street parking. I saw a sign about validated parking at the structure across from the restaurant. Nice lunch! read more
Check out MDK Noodles if you are in the mood for knife cut noodles in a comforting bowl of hot chicken soup. It goes nicely with steamed pork and vegetable dumplings. If the weather is hot, cool off with a bowl of their cold noodle soup. Kalguksu: The chicken soup is silky and delicious. The knife-cut noodles are fresh and slightly softer than al dente. While the woodear mushrooms provide a snappy texture, the chives and translucent onions are soft and comforting. Topping the bowl are little pork dumplings and ground chicken. For more flavor, add some of the briny garlic sauce from the jar on the table. Pork Dumplings: The wrappers are really thin. They'll probably tear open as you pick them up from the steamer. The minced pork is soft and smooth. There's a crispness to the chopped napa cabbage, radish, and chives. Pork Bulgogi with Rice: The soy and gochujang sauce with garlic and ginger is sweet, savory, and spicy. The thin slices of pork are caramelized and helped by soft scallions and onions. Kimchi: The kimchi here is some of the best around with a great balance of flavors and textures. Fresh not fermented It is crisp and fresh and probably hasn't been fermented. The extreme amount of garlic seems to energize the sweet and savory flavors. Dining Area: The dining area is bright and airy with over 20 tables. The space is large, so the tables are luxuriously spaced apart. Parking: Parking here is a challenge. There is metered street parking in the surrounding neighborhood, but you may have to circle a few times and walk many blocks. read more
Ordered Kalguksu and Bulgogi Bimbimbap to go. Definitely best eaten in person but took it to go this time. Broth was really flavorful and the separation of all the foods was well arranged. Added my own side dishes as well but otherwise this was a plenty nice meal. Would come again to try other options with a larger group. Order didn't take too long to prepare and wait in their spacious restaurant. read more
My husband and I came on a Friday night around 7pm and a line started to form. After 5 mins we were seated and ordered promptly. We ordered the pork dumplings and the spicy handcut noodle soup. The star of the show here were the pork dumplings and their homemade kimchi. The kimchi itself was not super fermented so less sour than typical more on the sweet side but very spicy. So good we ordered some to go to bring back to SF. The spicy soup was comforting and filling. Would recommend mdk to a friend and looking forward to coming back. read more
One of the best OG Korean noodle shops in K-Town. Always popular and busy. Hand cut noodles and rice cakes plus homemade dumplings. Wonderful super steaming hot chicken and anchovy broths - regular or spicy. Some of the best Kim Chee super fresh and spiced just right! Validated Parking in structure just half block down the side street. read more

MDK Noodles (Myung Dong Kyoja) is a great for comforting Korean food. The Dumpling Soup and Beef Bulgogi were both delicious. read more
This has always been our family's favorite spot whenever we visit LA, but today was a bit disappointing. The kalguksu tasted slightly different -- I thought it was just me, but my whole family felt the same. The broth didn't have the same rich flavor as before, and it wasn't served as hot as usual. The server seemed quite busy since she was working alone, but luckily it wasn't during the peak dinner time. The interior was still clean and pleasant as always, but the food was a bit underwhelming this time. read more
Spacious dining area with delicious Kong Guksu. I was craving cold dishes, and this spot was perfect. We shared the Mul Naengmyeon, Kong Guksu, and Pork Dumplings family style. The portions were generous and more than enough for our group of three. Both cold noodle dishes were refreshing and felt very light and healthy. The Kong Guksu was the highlight. I enjoyed its thick, creamy broth and the slightly chewy green noodles. The flavor was so good that the person next to me ordered seconds. The tanginess of the Mul Naengmyeon paired nicely with the Pork Dumplings, balancing out any greasiness. The service is quick. For parking, there is a gated lot across the street that costs about $2 that can be paid through an app. There are instructions outside the parking lot or at the restaurant counter. read more

Why isn't the kongguksu vegan? Can it be made vegan?
The dish itself is vegan! They must've just forgotten to label that on the menu. Unless MDK makes it differently, it is made from soybean so there is no meat in it.
Do they sell dumplings frozen to take home?
we make the dumplings fresh daily so we do not sell any frozen dumplings. Sorry !
A recent review mentioned no outdoor seating anymore? Is this true?
none when I went a few weeks ago.
Are you open on 24th-26th of December?
Yes but we will be closing early on Christmas Eve at 4pm
Do they have outdoor seating and do they take reservations? I called and was told no outdoor seating, but the internet seems to suggest otherwise.
Not sure about reservations but I was there less than 2 weeks ago and it was indoor dining only. Their outdoor patio was closed.
Is the kimchi vegan-friendly or does it contain shrimp/anchovies? Also, are there any vegan-friendly dishes?
(8; is good
The brick walls, did they used to be glass? I went to a noodle/mandu shop a few years ago that looked similar but the front of the restaurant was all glass. Have been trying to find this place ever since.
We have a combination of brick and glass. Before the exterior walls were like a yellow, faded and outdated. Also, the windows did not have the logo on it like we did currently. We also had a repaint of the interior as well, and the back area was not…
What is their specialty?
Kal Guk Su (knife-cut noodles) & pork dumplings. They are the first items at the top of the menu for noodles & dumplings.…
Are they closed? They haven't been open everyday this past week when I passed by.
Yes. They are closed from 11/4-11/7. Open again on 11/8. I posted a picture of the sign in Tips.
Are they open thanksgiving?
Usually yes. They have been historically. I would say about half (if not more) of the restaurants in Ktown are open on Thanksgiving.
Has anyone ever gotten the Kal gu suk as takeout? I'm wondering if they package the noodles/dumplings separate from the broth to keep it from getting soggy. I want to bring it to my friend but it's a bit of a drive... thanks in advance!
you can ask for them to pack the noodles uncooked and you cook it yourself when you get home.
