Myoung Dong Restaurant

This place is a must! I tried their bibim naengmyeon, and it tasted just like the way my mom makes it. The atmosphere reminds me of home while my mom is cooking. If you want authentic Korean dishes, then this is the place. I will definitely comeback here!

Very good place to try authentic Korean food. The lady was nice as she checked up on us time to time. There’s also a dog at the restaurant, which is a first. Overall, very nice environment and the food was great.

Gave this place a try after Pig & Panda’s review on YouTube. So far, great stuff, as well as sushi. We saw lots of dishes to try next time. While not as many of those lovely little side dishes with our meal, there aren’t many choices for authentic Korean food.

The banchan, pickled veggies, were awesome. The ja jang myeon noodles with pork and black sauce was very flavorful. The bibimbap rice bowl was good and flavorful but not the best we have had. The Jjampong soup was spicy and good but Da Rae Won down the street has it better. Overall solid Korean food, enjoyable, awesome Kimchi.

The food is great, but too expensive. I just ordered Bok Um Ja Jang which is $17.95 and got 4 small pieces of pork. I don't think noodles and sauce should be that much. I've also ordered other meals and they are great but you don't get very much for the price. This made me learn how to cook Korean food myself, which is cheaper.

I visited this restaurant with my husband on a Friday night. It was empty. We ordered a whole fried chicken and dumplings. - The lady who was helping us was very nice. - The dumplings were great and they came out in like a minute. - The chicken was well seasoned but it tasted like it was starting to go bad. It was very mild, my husband didn’t taste it but I’m very picky with chicken so I know how it tastes when it starts to go bad. I didn’t wanna send it back because it was an entire chicken and I felt bad for the owner. The picture I’m showing is from a wing. We spent around $50 but we had a lot of leftover chicken. - The kimchi is not that great, lacks flavor. I would not go back but I’m very picky with my food. Gave it 4 stars cause my husband liked it and the service was good.

Please avoid this restaurant at all costs! This was the most disappointing bibimbap I’ve ever eaten. It was supposed to come with beef, but came with only a few tiny crumbs of beef. Thus the bowl was only rice, oil and vegetables, so it had absolutely no flavor. It was quite an expensive bowl too. Please go to somewhere else, such as Da Rae Won next door! I’m not sure why this place has good reviews, please don’t make the same mistake that I did

I ordered a to-go meal of steamed chicken dumplings (mandu) and spicy kimchi soup with tofu and pork. Both were delicious and the warming soup is perfect for a cold winter night.

I ordered carry out and got dukkbokki. The portion was kind of small for the price... there weren't much rice cake in the dish, and it felt like it was mostly onions :( It was also very watery and not flavorful. I can't say much on the service since I literally went in and picked it up. It looked cozy inside though. It's a small store located behind CVS, and there is a parking lot.

I went there with my friends, loved their sea food pancake and the jjamppong. I felt the prices a bit on the expensive side, since I'm a college student I don't think I'd wanna pay a lot for food but their portions are of good size tho so that'd tally out the cost of the food. Service was pretty good but I just didn't like that they charge an extra dollar for each take out box that you get. Other than that it is pretty chilled out place.

**UPDATED MENU PRICES NOVEMBER 2022** Wanted to check out this "mom and pop" restaurant in Beltsville. There are a lot of them around the area and I was craving some kimchi jigae. It's a nice and cozy restaurant and it had 2 cute old ladies that worked there. The lady who greeted us was very welcoming and polite. The kimchi jigae was excellent! It comes out in a stone pot (as most Koreans restaurant do it) and it was sizzling when it came out. The kimchi tasted fresh and not too spicy. I would recommend this place if they are looking for a good bowl of kimchi jigae. The lady also said that they do mul-naengmyon all year round! Most places only do it for the summer but I'm going to come back and try that! I'm also curious to try out their fried chicken.

Amazing food at affordable prices. Their Tteokbokki and their tonkatsu and Chicken Katsu come in huge portions and are very affordable. 10/10 wonderful experience every time!

Small food with high price plus tips... If I am in Korean court places, these proices can be cheaper than the restaurant.

10/18/22 The soondooboo here is really good! There is a lady here she is very nice. The service is also very quick. When we first came in me and my friend were surprised to see a dog, but it doesn't bother you when you eat (i'm pretty sure they lock her away while there's customers) I didn't mind the dog because it didn't bother but maybe for others it will. The other thing is that the prices are expensive. The soondooboo was 16.95 and usually in other places like hmart, ga rham, shin chon, and etc. it's ranges from 9-13 dollars, so I do suggest going to somewhere else if 16.95 is too much!

I get the wonderful pork rice bowl and I love the free appetizers: kimchi, radishes, cucumbers.

Tl; dr: Tasty food but not worth the price, esp banchan Ordered for delivery via Grubhub. I got the rice noodles version of bibim naeng myun. Very nice to see this option but, if what I received was light spicy, I don't think I want to know this dish in its true incarnation! Would really have preferred sauce on side, as many places do it. The promised veggies seemed to be mostly lettuce (?!), with a bit of cucumber, carrot, and a slice of asian pear. Would be nice to be able to have optional meat, like true bibim naeng myun. And the banchan were tiny portions compared to other Korean places, and at the same price point. As in don't waste your money on them. Maybe all of this is better in person.

Portions are too small for almost 20$ for a bulgogi and the customer service is not good. the vibe is very tradition which i love. The food has good flavor but i don't think i will be coming back.

We were a party if three. I had squid with vegetables. It was quite good, however some of the squid was a bit tough. The other two diners had beef B-bimbap in a stone dish which was enjoyable, however one portion had very little beef. Service was excellent. The restaurant and rest rooms were sparkling clean and brightly lit. Prices were lower than I expected.

GREAT VALUE KOREAN FOOD. Our meal exceeded my expectations, especially given the reasonable prices. It is apparent that the kitchen staff put love into their food. Everything we tried was fresh tasting, flavorful, and on point. The Korean side dishes you get for free were particularly good compared to other Korean restaurants and I joked with the owner that I could have a whole meal based on them. Definitely add an order of fried chicken to your dinner here. They fry it up when you order which ensures light, crispy tasty goodness!

Best Korean pancake I've ever had! I've been to several Korean restaurants in Annandale, va and the nova area, but these are the best! Perfectly seasoned, perfectly crispy, loaded with seafood and green onions. The ginseng whole chicken soup has a rich but delicate broth. And the rice inside the chicken is delicious too! I've had this several times and it's consistently good. Pam jong (seafood stew with noodles) I can't recommend. I thought the soup lacked flavor/depth.

Myong Dong is my go to Korean restaurant on days when I'm dining alone. The food is good enough to share, but this is one of the few places near me that offer individual portions and lunch boxes of my favorite dishes. They are known for their plain Korean fried chicken, but I prefer the Tang Soo Yuk, which is boneless and served in a too-sweet but tangy sauce. I'm also a fan of the spicy pork or squid. Bi Bim Bap is ok but skippable, and if you're not feeling adventurous the Jap Chae is never a bad choice. This is a small family restaurant and often has only one server. They do their best to bring you everything you need but things can get a bit busier than they'd like and it's easy to forget something small. Be forgiving if possible.

My absolute favorite restaurant, this place has the BEST kimchi-- I loved the kimchi and especially the kimchi pancakes, they're so good!! Plus the very cute dog, mocha. I just moved out of Maryland last week and this is the restaurant I will miss the most :(

The food is definitely made right. I'd say give it a shot. considering how hole in the wall it is, the quality is extremely surprising. THOUGH, the portions are not generous. the prices are a bit high considering the amount given. I'd say if ur not starving come, but if u are, you will not be satiated unfortunately. Nothing else truly noteable in terms of being good or bad. some minor notes: water is filtered tap, they will not switch out the proteins if u ask, they have technologically advanced payment methods, the servers are nice

A no frills type of Korean restaurant. Sparsely decorated, one TV with playing K drama (not K pop) and a very friendly staff. We ordered bulgogi and unlike other places, they serve this on top of rice and provide veggies. Not sure if this is what we had expected, but it was flavorful and good. I ordered the chicken kal-guksu, but instead they gave me clam kal-guksu. It was a good and very hearty dish, despite the many broken clam shells, which affected my soup slurping. I am not a spicy food fan, so I can't comment on the spicy and hot jam pong, but my wife seemed to enjoy it. The knock of one-two stars was getting the wrong dish and the biggest let down was the fried chicken. It had no flavor and so heavily battered, it was a turn off for me. Next time, i will order the sweet and sour chicken. It comes with salt that you use for the chicken. How are you suppose to eat this? Make your own sauce? This place is A-OK in my book and good place if you are in the Beltsville/ College Park area.

Great Food. Excellent service! Very clean! This a must if you like Korean food. Prices are good!

Very friendly owner and food that tastes like home. There was Korean TV playing when I went in to pick up lunch (and one person dining in). I got a generous portion of tempura (I ate it before I could take a photo ). And the veggie kimbap - shown in the photo. My food came with a side of rice and sides of water kimchi, classic kimchi (sadly did not taste like my moms) and cucumber kimchi. Definitely recommend!

This is not authentic Korean food. I'm Korean and this is by far the worst Korean food I've ever had. The jjajangmyun is flavorless, the tangsooyook sauce tasted so weird and had oranges in it, and the kimchi jiggae tasted off.

We were just looking for a place for some hot soup and quick bit. So we came here for some spicy Korean soup Ambience: very homie, simple. They even have a puppy jogging around in the Reaturant Service: nothing special, doesn't seems welcomed. But sometime people just have the natural attitude, doesn't mean anything ( i was telling myself this lol) Food: we got there 10 mins before their lunch special ends (yeah, lucky! Their lunch special till 2:30pm) we ordered one clear chicken soup noodle, spicy beef soup and a cup of ice coffee. Total for $29, isn't bad for the price but food nothing surprises us. The spicy beef soup has way too many green onion Highlight: at the end, after we pay. the owner (I think it's the owner) gave us 2020 calendar as a little gift which was a very sweet move, I have to change the start from 3 to 4 just for that

Food buddy decided, today was the day she would try Korean food. She loved the man doo! She also tried the banchan. I shared my perfectly cooked Dolsot Bibimbap w/her & still had an ample amount for leftovers.

My husband and I stopped by Myung Dong for dinner. Inside is very low-key, food was pretty good. Their banchan (side dishes) were really tasty, I really enjoyed the cucumber kimchi . Seemed like they had quite a few take-out orders. Kind of seems like the MD version of Red Holic (Annandale) but less loud lol. We had a vegetable kimbap , which was loaded with carrots lol but the rice was seasoned really well, and was not too stuffed with rice. I had jjolmyun and my husband had bibimnaengmyun . They were both pretty good. They have a lot of different things on their menu, including vegetarian friendly items. But honestly 5/5 stars because of the cute lil service dog . If I find myself back in this area I would definitely come back!

Had a great dinner here with my best friend last night! This is definitely a hole in the wall, but for the price the food cannot be beat. We started off with the 6 piece fried mandu - even though it was fried, it felt SO light. Not at all greasy or heavy, they're a must-have here. Will definitely be ordering again next time I'm here. We shared the tteokbokki and jajangmyun. The jajangmyun was pretty tasty, but my least favorite of all the things that I tried. It wasn't served very hot, and there wasn't too much pork in the sauce. But it was still very, very tasty. The tteokbokki stood out to me for sure, but it is SPICY. My friend and I are both Indian - and we agreed that Indian spice has NOTHING on Korean spice. But it's spicy in an addictive way, you almost can't stop eating it. We loved the incorporation of glass noodles into the dish. We finished with some green tea ice cream which was so tasty. The total bill before tip was $35.50 for all of that food! Such a steal - and our server was SO lovely. I definitely will be back to try the tteokguk and fried chicken. If you're in the College Park area and looking for a cheap dinner, I'd definitely give Myong Dong a visit.

Ordered via Uber Eats with my wife, and their Yook Gae Jang is delicious! For the price, you get a great portion of both the dish and a side of rice. They only gave us a small serving of kimchi and radish on the side though, so if you're a fan of those and aren't eating alone, I recommend you ask for extra (or be ready for your spouse to take most of it ). They do a good job packing it up for easy and spill free delivery. We'll definitely order again and try more of their stuff!

Ordered the yook gae jang via Ubereats. Very delicious and generous portion size. Packaged well and the soup comes with rice and few banchan on the side. I'm part Korean so I didn't know what to expect and was very happy with the taste and meal. Will definitely order again (and check out the restaurant one day)!

I was a solo diner on a rainy Thursday evening. I craved clams Kalkuksu and got it withing 10 minutes. While I waited, I tasted their banc hand and noticed their white radish was really, refteshing, better than Korean Fried Chicken place good. I got my dish and immediately noticed how much class there were. I tasted the broth and it was delicious. The noodles were also boiled just right. I finished it all and was very satisfied. I was glad to have stopped on mm you own. It was wort it!

Continuing to support local businesses during this time of crisis: had to place an order for pick up of course since dine-in is not an option nowadays. They had their food prepared fairly quickly, like within 10 or 15 minutes so it was perfect timing for me to drive there to pick them up. The food and the side dishes were all packed separately, which is nice. There are some Korean places that would put everything together and end up mixing throughout the drive or the trip back home. The food was pretty good- got the Dduk Mandoo Guk (rice cake and dumpling soup) and Tang Soo Yook (sweet and sour pork). Some may say it's an odd combo but I enjoyed it. I would say that it could've been better if they provided a bit more side dishes in terms of amount and variety.

Myong Dong is a Korean noodle eatery, located in a small strip plaza off of Baltimore. They offer both cold noodle (nengmyun, jjol myuns, etc.) and hot noodle (kalguksoos, jajangs, etc.) soups and bowls, appetizers (mandoos, dooboo, etc.), and various Korean entrees (such as bulgogi, ojinguh bokkeum, etc.). The hubs and I ordered the Myong Dong Kal Guk Soo (came in a large bowl, the broth was super soothing and clean-tasting; plenty of noodles, veggies, and large chunks of tender chicken breast meat, this was just perfect for anyone who is feeling a little bit under the weather or who wants to warm up), and the Jjol Myun (cold noodles with a spicy paste and chopped lettuce; this was pretty spicy, no doubt, but pretty delicious! It's been a while since I had a good bowl of jjol myun, and Myong Dong's version did not disappoint). Service was very friendly and welcoming, as there was only one ahjumma that was going back and forth between the tables and from the kitchen with the orders. Definitely a great little gem in the Beltsville area to get your noodle fix! +Myong Dong Kal Guk Soo +Jjol Myun +friendly staff +plenty of parking in plaza lot

Classic Korean restaurant interior design. Ordered the soondubu and it was exactly what I wanted! Great flavor and lots of dubu. The banchan was on the sweet side which I didn't love. I went around 4pm and the food came out really quickly. Gave 4 stars instead of 5 because it was pricey and they charged me an extra dollar for a to go container (the total was $19 before tip for just soondubu). But overall a good experience; I was craving Korean food and it hit the spot! There was also a cute dog that sat next to me while I ate I loved it!

Still here. Still delicious. Every time I have to head to Beltsville this is the place I try to get to. I love their KimChi Chee Gae. It is soooooo good.

I bookmarked the restaurant after yelp searching for a good jajang-myun place since Da Rae Won is closed on Sundays. It's in a small shopping center and the window sign blinks "Myoung Dong". Entering in the store, it was cozy and we were greeted by the store owner's puppy which was near the front desk. I sat down and the owner placed menus on our table right away. I ordered the Beef Kimbab, Tang Soo Yook (Sweet and Sour pork), and Naeng-Myun (Cold Noodle). Also, it was interesting as usual korean restaurants bring out a selection of side dishes, but we had just 3 which were spicy pickled cucumber, kimchi and radish cubes. Also I noticed on the menu that ordering kimchi would be extra and so is rice which I thought was surprising because usually they offer it for free at other places, but it's fine since every place has it's own items. I had the cold Naeng-myun which was great for the hot weather, but it lacked some of the beef flavor from the broth. The beef kimbab also lacked some meat and had more vegetables. Also the tang soo yuk (sweet and sour pork)'s sauce was very light and again lacked flavor. The overall customer experience was nice, but I wouldn't recommend this place as my first choice for noodles.

Upon arriving, 8pm, the restaurant had no customer, and the server recommended me with chicken soup (one of the most expensive dish) It's actually "Boiled frozen chicken" with very simple gradient and poor taste. However, the server insisted that the chicken is imported from Korea and the half simply boiled chicken listed as $17.99 in a restaurant with moderate decoration Very bad experience,no idea how this kind of restaurant could get 4+ rating

Their signature Soon Dubu is on lunch special from 12:00p-2:30p Mon-Fri ($11) and jumps up to $13 for dinner and on weekends. They've achieved great flavor and consistency with this dish - the last 3 times I've ordered the exact same thing (Soon Dubu with seafood, extra spicy) and it was fantastic and flavorful. It takes skill to impart an appealing flavor, sustained high temps, spice and freshness in this dish, and Myong Dong has mastered it. Soon Dubu is the entrée I judge all Korean restaurants by. The other compulsory judgement item is their banchan (picked side dishes) which are also always great here. There are only 4 or 5 banchan selections on any given day, but they are all perfectly balanced and super fresh looking + tasting. Great banchan makes the Korean meal. And remember to ask for "Bori Cha" either hot or iced and you will receive a refreshing cup of housemade Barley Tea. I understand it's not really an impressive date spot - as some Yelpers have described it, the atmosphere isn't the *best* but the service and food quality here is super solid. And I love the team of ladies who operate this place - they're always friendly and happy to see you!

Solid, authentic Korean food! I had the Dolsot Bibimbap and it was fantastic! I'll be back soon to try the Korean fried chicken!

I ordered 70$ worth of food and I was really excited to try it. I showed up at the store and they were literally closed. I have no idea why the app was able to accept my order and it was even telling me my order is ready but the restaurant was clearly closed. It was like 5:00pm on a Thursday, they should have been open.

Myoung Dong is tucked away in the corner of a strip mall in Beltsville. If you don't know about it, you'd definitely miss it. They do a great lunch and it's pretty much spot on for home cooked Korean (but not home cooked unless you live there). I've never had a bad meal there, and it's one of my quick go-tos for Korean food in a pinch. The service has always been great for me, although I do remember that one time, two orders got messed up and both people were not disappointed by what they got! If you want a no-frills good Korean meal, head here. I don't think I've ever been there when there has been a line, or even not an open table for me to sit in. Sure, there are other places that are better for certain dishes, but if you need to get your Korean fix on, you can't beat it.

I don't think Beltsville is known to have good Korean food, as I drove through acres and acres of farm land to get to Myoung Dong. Sitting in a strip plaza, it's located right next to other little shops such as alterations, international grocery market, Carribean food and nail salon. Not quite hard to find if you use GPS. First impression is good: a couple of Korean customers already eating by the time we walked in. It could be there's not a lot of Korean options in Beltsville, but nevertheless it's good to see them. We ended up ordering a cod fish soup, seafood pancake and a cold noodle dish with brisket - surprisingly they were all consistently above the norm! The seafood pancake is expensive (~$15) but the ingredients used were fresh and portion plentiful. The cod fish soup was boiling hot when it came out, and since we got it non-spicy, the broth was fresh and light. Lastly the cold noodle dish was simpler than what I expected from the menu description, but it was refreshing on an abnormal 70 degree day for beginning of April. The service was also pretty good. While we came in fairly late on a Tuesday evening and were the only party there, we were still attended to without the normal take-it-or-leave-it Korean restaurant attitude. Restaurant and bathroom area were clean, and it was cute to see the (owner's?) dog walking around inside the restaurant. Deducted a star only because the fish soup and noodle dish were quite expensive for what they were. But they make it up for fresh ingredients, clean family dining atmosphere and good service.

I would call Myoung Dong a border line hole-in-the-wall place. The interior wasn't all that big but we were able to come with a large group for dinner on a weekday. There were only like two other people dining in the restaurant so we were able to fit. Service is okay, and it helped that we could also speak Korean as well. If you speak Korean at a Korean restaurant you're going to have a good time (most of the time). I ordered the jjajjamyeon which is one my go to dishes whenever I try a new Korean restaurant. It was too watery for my liking. It didn't have a strong jjajjang taste and it ended up being below average for me. But the other dishes were solid. The pork tangsuyuk was the highlight. Never had I had such crispiness for this dish which is what I like. The sauce didn't soften up the crispiness either. Nobody like soggy tangsuyuk. Sauce was tangy and sweet. I tried a bite of my other friend's dishes and they weren't bad either. It ended up being a nice find!

This place is friendly and nice! the ladies there greeted my friends and I with warm smiles. the korean seafood pancake are soooo good compared to a lot of other places. soups were good for a cold day.

The sign reads "Oriental Noodle" on the outside, and if you look closely, you'l see the name in lights framed in the window "Myoung Dong"; be on the lookout... Myoung Dong: a small, cafe sized, Korean hideaway; nestled in a shopping center, that time forgot, slinging some tasty and Authentic Korean dished that warrant a visit to the Beltsville Hot Spot. I'm having an exceedingly difficult time writing this review as I am not able to find the menu online. All of the dishes are named in Korean as well... so I'll do my best to describe them to you, and it will be a game for you to figure out what they were when you go. From my favorite to least favorite 1. Spicy Pork Dish- the pork is seasoned perfectly and comes to the table sporting a bright orange color. Vegetables are mixed in the stir fry and the entire protein portion is put over rice. A small salad is served with this dish in addition to two dumplings. A well balanced spice and a umami level savoryness earn this dish my top accolades. Rice is cooked perfectly, and the pork is toothsome but not tough by any means. 2. Fried Chicken- A whole fried chicken comes to the table in grand presentation. Mounded golden heaps of crispy deliciousness. Put in this order first as the chicken takes 15-20 minutes to cook. The dish is well worth the wait. Battered in something very close to a tempura, the chicken is crunchy with lack of the common fried-shards. The rounded coating makes the chicken quick and easy to eat. Careful when it comes to the table, it is HOT - as in fires of Mordor hot. Paired with the kimchi, pickled daikon, or Myoung Dong Salt... it's even more delicious. 3. The Soup- We got a soup that had dumplings in it, seaweed, a few sparse pieces of of brisket and large thin pieces of a gummy noodle that was cut on the bias (they look like thing scallops). Add a little soy to this soup and maybe a little of the magic salt, and you're in for a treat. 4. Noodle in black bean sauce- The dish I ordered, equating it to a dish I'm have before called Zha Jiang Myun, was nothing of the sorts. A thick crude oil like sauce covered the noodles, an overwhleming amount of onions and green peppers. Pork throughout the dish was hard to find and identify. The sauce was just not flavorful. Once the salt was added, a bit of flavor was brought out, but just not the right flavor. Special Mentions: The magical salt. I don't know what's mixed into this delicious seasoning salt they give each table. Looking closely you can see long crystals of some compound. The salt is tinted red and has the acidic taste of sumac. I think that there might be some benito in this b. You can take home 24 oz containers of pickeled daikon or kimchi for 5.25. Now, that's a deal! Some salt and daikon were welcome company of a few over easy eggs this morning.

Very good one , the food very delicious special the ice tea is one of the best tea I like in the most Korea restaurants I ever been , alway clean and feel comfortable in this restaurant , highly recommends !

I'm just flabbergasted at the quality of food from this place and not in a good way. I ordered the fried chicken thinking great I love Korean fried chicken with the super crispy skin. Boy was I wrong the chicken was dry and inedible. The breading missed the mark compared to other Korean spots. I also ordered the seafood jjangmyeong noodles. The order arrived in a big noodle/seafood clump. It isn't too difficult to separate the sauce from the noodle for takeout orders. They also used these flat fettuccine noodles...I mean come on you can probably fool Americans with that but at least use a decent noodle. Lastly we received the Tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) they added so much of this pepper seasoning to it that it tasted like pepper and nothing else, so overpowering. In short don't go here, it seems the kitchen don't really care about the food. With such a huge Korean population around the DC area it isn't hard to find a better option.

I went here during COVID and got the bibimbap and kimbap. I would say it was quite mediocre. The kimbap was quite expensive for the amount of rolls you receive l. Around 10$ for a small square box, wasn't very filling and I could go to other places for more and a cheaper price. The bibimbap was also meh. A basic rice and vegetables but seemed to be on the small side. I paid around 25$ for the two items and seemed very mediocre in terms of price and quantity/quality. I would prob go someplace else for what I want next time

The food wasn't entirely bad and neither was the service but the portions for the tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork) is ridiculously small. There are not many Korean restaurants around here, so this is the only option to check out, but I warned you guys. The tangsuyuk is small!!! In Virginia you could usually get a huge plate of tangsuyuk for the same price they charge here. The jajangmyun (black noodle) was okay too. Was flavorful, but didn't taste authentic. The waitress was really nice though, and played with my son :p

Has to be one of the worst Korean food places I've ever been to. Ladies are nice tho. Overpriced for quality of food hands down.

Had not been here in a while due to frequenting other local Korean restaurants. Came for lunch. Have a nice list of lunch items for 13.95 and up. Ended up ordering the squid rice bowl. Still looking for the squid. Maybe a dozen small pieces. No response from server on that. Dish also had lettuce which was a surprise. Bonchon were standard but good. Probably will not come back as I prefer other Korean spots nearby.

These boys always deliver and the lunch special is super reasonable!!! They are a little off the beaten path but worth it! FYI the name is not on the door, at least not in English LOL!

Myoung Dong brough me back from looking like an extra on "The Walking Dead. " I've been illl for a week and feeling lousy. So my friend suggested going out to eat. We decided soup would be good and lo and behold she'd never tried Korean handcut noodles. Well - Yelpers set me right with this little gem. Great parking. It was empty when we arrived Saturday around 2 pm. A ghost town. But no matter - my stalwart companion and I ordered 2 heaping bowls of chicken soup noodles, a half order of Mandoo and Korean fried chicken with hot tea. The Mandoo arrived accompanied by banchan: kimchee, marinated cucumbers, and radish. It was all a very fresh start to a memorable and healing meal. The mandoo was perfect, meaty. not soggy, lightly crisp. The soup followed and was really phenomenal with the spicy chili paste on the table, Shredded chicken, egg omelet rivulets, and zucchini ribbons festooned atop delicious, fresh noodles - heavenly!! And then the fried chicken arrived.... It was an entire fried chicken- perfectly done, and the breast and odd pieces were expertly but into ample nuggets, making it easier to eat without feeling gross. We had plenty of chix left over for another meal, and ataround $40 for two people who GORGED themselves, it was well worth the trip. It really set me right for the day.

This is a hidden gem in Beltsville MD! The food is authentic and delicious. They serve traditional Korean fare as well as Korean-style Chinese food. My personal favorite is the Hot Pot BiBim Bop. It really hits the spot on a cold day! The staff are friendly and helpful - with all the charm of a small business. There is seating in the restaurant, but the take-pout is great too. Highly recommend!

I've passed by this area so many times and I've never even noticed this quaint establishment! I had a little bit of trouble finding the restaurant but it's behind the CVS and the name "Myong Dong" is written on the window. The service was pretty solid and the music they chose was so cute! I ended up getting the vegetable rice bowl which came with a couple of fried veggie dumplings and a small sweet/tangy soy sauce for the dumplings. The rice with the veggies was flavorful but after a few bites, it got a bit too spicy for me so I had to drink lots of water in between bites and I felt that the spiciness took over. Thankfully our waitress was very attentive and refilled my water very qquickl!! We also ordered the green tea and red bean ice cream for dessert, but they were really nothing to write home about... I do see myself coming back here to try some other things off their menu!
