#9

Apparently this place is recommended by Anthony Bourdain. Myungln Dumplings is a casual and cozy Korean eatery in Buena Park. We stopped by when we wanted a quick but healthy meal to go on a rainy day with toddlers in the car. This HIT the spot. Dumplings here are behemoths. They are generous with their filling. They are not only huge but flavorful and delicious. There's a good balance of ingredients. We ordered #1, 6, and 9. The baos (1 and 6) are ginormous and filling. They remind me of what my grandparents in Hong Kong would eat for breakfasts daily. The filling is warmly tucked into the fluffy steamed bread. #9 was your typical thin skinned dumpling, and they were my favorite of what we ordered since I wanted less bread. Like it's bao counterpart, this was generally stuffed. We demolished all of #9 and shared one bao. We brought back 7 buns for family and everything was consumed in one meal. Would definitely come back.

Pork and vegetable dumplings

Loved the Dumplings, they were my favorite, and the radish too. I wasn't too crazy about the friend shrimp. Highly recommend this place .

A ?hidden gem in an older strip mall near Arby's and The Source. This mom and pop restaurant has maybe 9 4-seater tables, clean ambience. I am amazed at how efficient they were with only 1 or 2 wait staff/?owners. I LOVED all the food, especially the beef dumpling soup 5/5 with a homey mild flavor. My friend enjoyed adding in some kimchi. The king dumplings were impressive: the size of your fist and perfectly steamed manapua/ chinesish bao style. The flavor was also mild even with the kimchi inside; loved the texture the most. Fried chicken was pretty good, and I appreciated a fellow yelper's tip to order sauces on the side for a less-messy and more-controlled experience. Even the minimal side dishes were amazing (sorry I don't know the names): shredded cabbage with kewpie, kimchi, and my fav: pickled/ soy radish with jalapeño. Looking forward to coming back for more of everything!

Our first time there was in December and we ordered a little bit of everything. Sorry, I forgot to take pictures of the fried chicken. Everything was delicious! We've been back a couple of times since then. Highly recommend it.

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.

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.

Delicious food! Decent service and prices. Parking is plenty. Ambience is fine- nothing too special. Looks clean and it's not loud so we could have conversations. Would come again!

Complimentary mayo and shredded cabbage and what looked like sliced marinated daikon or turnip? King Dumplings are huge. They're about the whole size of your hand. 4 per order. You'll see big bags of wheat flour and ingredients they use on racks as you walk to the restroom in the back. They sell sugar free oat cookies. Their fried chicken is a must if you're craving for something crunchy and greasy. It tastes different and way better than your standard fried chicken. 7 pieces for half order $16.98. Very crispy, light and delicious. You have to eat it fresh. Won't taste the same the day after unless you throw it in the air fryer. #9 dumplings with pork and veggies were very good. You get 6 pieces for $14.49. Hand made. Oil see them making it by the glass window as you walk to the restroom. Only one lady serving and doing everything in the front. So it can get busy for her. Water comes in plastic jars into metal cups- Korean style. This place was visited by Anthony Bourdain. Low key tasty place.

Korean style steamed kimchi dumplings
Jenny K.

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!

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!

Half Soy Garlic Fried chicken
Timothy Spencer T.

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.

If you're celebrating any special occasions, you can also book private space for your group. The staff assists in cooking the meat and patiently introduces all the pairing options.

The meal starts off with lighter dishes like porridge, salad, and water kimchi to warm up your stomach. After that, a variety of starters come out including spicy beef tartare, pan-fried sliced beef, glass noodles, and a beautiful platter of nine delicacies. Everything was thoughtfully presented and flavorful. The highlight of the meal was definitely the assorted premium wagyu cuts, which are grilled to perfection over charcoal. The meat was incredibly tender, rich, and packed with flavor. Pairing it with naengmyun and soybean paste soup made the whole experience even better. What surprised me most was how many courses kept coming out throughout the meal. Even after the wagyu, they brought fried dishes, seasonal items, tricolor pancake, and dessert to finish everything off. Overall, the course felt very complete and satisfying, and the quality of the ingredients really stood out. If you're looking for a more elevated Korean BBQ experience in OC, this is definitely a spot worth checking out.

Service: we came around 6pm Sunday dinner! Not busy the time we came. There was a guy wearing…read moreglasses and a girl. Both were very nice! They were welcoming as well. 10/10 rating! Food: I ordered the beef gyugatsu. When you order (on the tablet) it will give you a choice if you want the full set or just the meat only. Of course I had to try the full set. It came with 2 sauces, salad, edamame, radish, rice, and a bowl of miso soup. It was delicious! Meat also came with a little grill for u to cook on and wasabi on the side. My partner ordered the curry pork cutlet. Pork cutlet was a tad bit dry, nothing crazy but the sauces that came with it made it better! It also came with miso soup, salad, radish, edamame, and a bowl of rice. Since my partner ordered the curry cutlet, ofc it came with a bowl of curry and katsu sauce on the side. Both meals were delicious! 8/10 rating for food! Ambiance: cute, clean, nice and small! You order on the tablet. They close around 830pm keep in mind! Overall I will come back to try their other food items on the menu!

I came here earlier in the evening with my boyfriend since we've been craving gyu katsu for so long…read moresince we went to Japan. We came the last hour of closing and there was still a couple of tables eating inside still. We were greeted upon arrival and we didn't need them to tell us how to order as the only thing on the table was the ordering tablet (self-explanatory). We ended up ordering the premium gyu katsu set along with the curry pork cutlet set that comes with rice and sides along with some beer. The drinks and food came out fairly quick and were steaming hot. I like that the curry came on the side so the pork cutlet wouldn't get soggy and you could pour over as much as you want over the cutlets. The veggie sides were a nice touch and complemented the meal well. The gyu katsu didn't taste like Japan to us, but it was still good especially with the wasabi and sweet soy sauce that came with it. If I came back here, I would give the beef tongue a try along with the creamy udon because those also seemed like a favorite for customers. Service here was friendly and we were checked up on multiple times without having to flag someone down.
