Myung Dong Noodle House

Myung Dong Noodle House is a must-visit for authentic Korean comfort food! Their Scallion Pancake topped with seafood and kimchi is an absolute standout. It’s the perfect appetizer to share (or enjoy all to yourself!). Another highlight is the Spicy Marinated Squid—perfectly tender, with a bold, flavorful kick that pairs so well with a bowl of rice. It is one of my go-to dishes here. Beyond the food, the service is fantastic! The staff is attentive, always making sure side dishes are refilled and that everything is just right. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. If you're craving authentic Korean food, this is the spot. Highly recommend!

What a great place to get Korean food, especially their knife cut signature noodle soup dish. Their seafood pancake was very good too. The portion sizes were massive for the price that you pay, if I were to go back, I would definitely share a bowl of soup with someone. I recommend this place and would come back.

I randomly called this Korean restaurant not knowing anything about the menu or what to order, and I’m so glad I did. The staff was super helpful and recommended a few dishes over the phone—and wow, they did not disappoint. The dish called samgyetang was packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and honestly some of the best Korean food I’ve had in a while. It felt like comfort food and restaurant-quality rolled into one. You can tell they really care about the food and the customer experience. Definitely coming back and trusting their recommendations again!

Food was just so authentic, delicious and large portion.. hope to continue making trips here when we can find the opportunity to and continue to try all of the delicious food.

Wow food was amazing and service was even better! Our server Amy helped us so much! Will definitely be coming back with my family.

Strangely I preferred the non-noodle dishes more than their specialty of kalguksu noodle soup. The noodles were WAY overcooked. You would think they should get this right considering this is what they are famous for. The haemul pajeon, grilled bulgogi, pork dumplings, galbi-tang soup and donkatsu were better. I waited 35 minutes for a party of 6 table. The place was packed. The servers were pleasant and efficient.

The best Korean restaurant in New Jersey. I come from NYC just to eat here it’s so good. Best service. The owners are great. Affordable. Family friendly but also classy. New menus updated every season. This concept was imported from Seoul, and they just recently opened up a new branch. Every dish will serve you well

The food was honestly better in quality and quantity than most foods I’ve had in South Korea…wow I’m coming back with my co-workers for sure. #hotspot #hiddengem

Myung Dong Noodle is a solid choice if you're in the mood for some hearty, authentic Korean comfort food. The restaurant has a cozy, no-frills vibe, and the focus is definitely on the food, which is both delicious and satisfying. I highly recommend and I'm excited to go back with my family.

Stumbled across this place before the movies and my husband and I LOVEDDD the food!!! I am day dreaming about it while writing this review. LOL We got the grilled beef, dumplings, and chicken ramen. Everything was so flavorful, big portions, and cooked perfectly. Their KIMCHI side dish was also sooooo yummy!!!! Staff were great, checked on us a few times and very attentive. Menu was extensive as well, can't wait to go back and try more! Restaurant was cozy and clean as well. 10/10 food 10/10 service

Good option for kalguksu! I am a big 칼국수 fan and this spot serves nice chewy noodles with a flavorful broth. Really hits the spot on a cold night. Also tried their mandoo (in the soup and separate), and thought they were good as well. The wait time on a Sunday night was about 30 min for 4, so come early. It's right off the bridge in Fort Lee, so not the worst to get to and overall worth it if I'm craving 칼국수.

Amazing bulgogi! They serve it to you on a metal grill that looks so good that the guy next to me asked what it was. Tastes even better, with burnt crispy edges that taste grilled. Best bulgogi ever, with grilled vegetables. The set also came with pork noodles, MD Kalgusku, which was recommended by the server. Very satisfying meal. The kimchi is slightly better than BCD Tofu House but still not great. I like a fermented kimchi and this one is half sour.

I came here with my Korean parents and we were all so disappointed with everything. It was honestly shocking that they served what they did. The galbi jjim is not actually a jjim - it's like a watery steamed meat broth with steamed vegetables. The bibimbap also was probably the worst I've had with super dry meat and vegetables that didn't seem cohesive. And what should've been the star - the actual namesake dish of the restaurant - the noodles, was really mediocre. I would not come here and look elsewhere for Korean food.

The customer service was phenomenal. There were a limited side dishes serving only spicy and plain kimchi side dishes. I am from CA and am used to 6 side dishes. They serve freshly made noodles. Their food was good, but a litte more underseasoned than what I am used to from a Korean restaurant. The portion size was great and the price was great. I still would, definitely, come back again.

Bad service. Never come again. The food is just fine.Extra $2 charge for wrapping the small dishes.

Conveniently right off the GWB, this spot is in a pretty populated area of Fort Lee. If you can't find parking on the street, there's a parking lot in the back (which most people seem to miss). On a Sunday night, we were frantically running around looking for restaurants that could seat our group of 7. We didn't expect Myung Dong to have a table for us as they're a pretty popular chain from Korea, but we called and they miraculously had a table for us if we got there in 10-15 mins. After we were seated, the staff members were rather hasty and really urged us to order. I don't even think there was a 30 second leeway between all the staff members that rotated to see if we were ready to order. They warned us that we should place our order soon considering how big our group is and it would take a while for the food to come out. The food came out almost immediately after though. The spot is famous for their kalguksu, but I noticed their summer menu was already up (May 2024). We ordered an entree each and a few other items on the menu to share: MANDOO: I personally enjoyed the mandoo, but my friends said otherwise. The skin was very thin and the bottom broke apart pretty easily. Regardless, the filling itself was still very juicy and flavorful though. GALBI JJIM: This was actually really good and more than enough for all of us to share. The meat was tender and fell off the bone. There was an assortment of veggies nestled in there too. This would really hit the spot on a cold, rainy day. MUL NAENGMYUN with a side of GRILLED PORK: They did not skimp out on the noodles here. This bowl was refreshing and very filling for me. They gave each of us who ordered the naengmyun a small container of mustard of vinegar and mustard to adjust to our liking. I wish they gave us more vinegar because it wasn't enough for me. There were a few slices of brisket and a hard-boiled egg; nothing spectacular about it except it was extra protein. The grilled pork wasn't bad either, but also nothing I would write home about. SPICY MUL NAENGMYUN: I normally don't order this, but I had a sip of my friends and I surprisingly liked this more. There was way more flavor in the broth and they didn't need vinegar either! Overall a pretty solid meal and well worth it for its price value. The portions are pretty huge and the prices are all within reasonable range. I'd probably be willing to pop in here again if it was along the way.

Food Been coming here occasionally, and their signature MD Kalguksu never disappoints. Though, it seems like their noodle recipe is a bit different than before... Not bad, just different. The broth is supurb though. We also ordered Kalbi there, perfect blend of sweet and savory. You might need to use your hands though! Sauce was amazing. We left full and satisfied. Kimchi side dish was extra galic-y and spicy. Service Amazing service, our kimchi and tea were filled up often and our server checked up on us a lot despite the busy business. They speak both English and Korean there too :) Atmosphere This restaurant seems to be always busy. Great business and for good reason. Parking situation might be a challenge, but the restaurant owner guided us to our parking spot. Extra Looks like they will be opening another restaurant in New York, so we won't need to travel so far to enjoy the same great food!

Updating since my taste buds have evolved (hopefully for the better) in the last 10+ years since my last review. I wasn't a fan of the Kalguksu in my youth, but now I actually think it's not so bad. It's a decent bowl of hearty noodles that has a clean flavor. I was a bit disappointed by the kimchi which was a bit salty on the day when I visited. I also recently had the Mul-Naengmyun and Marinated Pork combo. The pork was okay, but the Naengmyun was just not good at all. It lacked flavor (even for cold noodle standards) and had a slightly strange aftertaste that I wasn't a fan of. The Haemul Pajeon was probably the dish I enjoyed the most, but it's nothing to write home about either. Other than that, prices seem a bit high though the service was good and the interior was large and clean. Overall, I stand by what I said 10 years ago--the menu is kind of a hit-and-miss, but might be a decent spot to try out for yourself.

This was a repeat visit, with our same lunch companion. At 1:15 on a Saturday afternoon , there was a 5 minute wait. It's a pleasure to see businesses buzzing away since 2020. As soon as there was a free table and we were seated, like clockwork - the house tea and water is served (note: it's BYOB and glasses are provided). While there isn't the whole array of banchan, the house kimchi and white kimchi are exquisite; flavorful, moderately spicy (red kimchi) and not too tart. [NOTE: on a third visit with a friend from Seoul clarified that it's standard to only have kimchi for authentic noodle houses]. Our orders: seafood scallion pancake as an appetizer; mushroom kalguksu, a meat soup, and a seasonal cold buckwheat noodle dish. The pancake was delectable with the seafood perfectly embedded (a little oily for my taste, but somehow maintains its crispness) - the sweet fish sauce for dipping was not always needed. As we like to do when dining out, we exchange tastes of each others' dishes. When requested, extra small bowls were brought for the tasting. Each dish has its own incomparable base (mainly umami so it can't be described and must be experienced), and texture: my mushroom soup had an inexorable amount of delectable mushrooms that didn't get rubbery in the broth, and the vegetable based noodles didn't 'shed gluten' into the broth. My companion's seasonal cold black sesame buckwheat noodle dish (couldn't get a photo of this fast enough) was creamy-rich (but no cream!) and a flavor that tasted like the summer day we were enjoying. You can't come here and not order noodles. They are house made and addicting, in all forms they come in . Absolutely worth the Lyft ride over and back from Midtown Manhattan.

Wife really wanted to stop by again on our way to NYC. Like last time, the food was good food, but the kimchi doesn't have that strong garlic taste like years before. The Kong-gook-soo was different, but delicious with a nice nutty flavor. Kal-gook-oo okay. Dumpling skins are paper thin...impossible to pick up without tearing them. We'll be back I'm sure.

The best!!! Street parking is available but we took an Uber ride here from the airport since we had some free hours to kill. Restaurant had space for us with 3 luggages. We had dumplings, short ribs, the famous MD kalguku and soontofu. They were all good. Glad we took a time to make a stop before we our flight. Service was quick. Few words but attentive. Thank you for the amazing food!!

I've only ever gotten the myungdong kalguksu here so I can only speak on that dish. But they really have the recipe perfected! The broth is tasty and the noodles are nice. There's quite a bit of meat in there too. The inside is very clean and there is a good amount of seating. I have never had to wait for a table. I will probably go back soon now that the weather is starting to get colder!

This is honestly one of my favorite local eateries in Fort Lee! Parts of their menu is seasonal so I'd recommend for both the hot summer days & cold winters.

I came here with my boyfriend's family and we ordered a lot, including kalbitang, kalbijim, and the kalguksu with maesaengi seaweed and clams. It wasn't really a standout but I enjoyed my meal here. The kalguksu especially tasted healthy and clean which was what I felt in the mood for that day. I do want to try the other varieties of kalguksu here one day.

Food: 3.75/5 Service: 3.5/5 HUGE portions. The 2 of us ordered the MD Kalguksu and Haemul Pajeon. I am really glad we didn't get more because we had one portion of leftovers to take home. The MD Kalguksu was good. It had umami flavor, chewy noodles, and had that homey feeling to it. It was such a big bowl - I highly recommend sharing. (4/5) The Haemul Pajeon was okay. It was kind of soft and lacked specialty for us. It had a decent amount of seafood and green onion. The service was friendly but not always as observant. It was sometimes hard to flag someone down. Overall, I think this is a good family restaurant to share food. There's plenty of seating and food options for many preferences.

Came here on a cold winter day therefore it was perfect for noodle soup! My friend felt courageous and wanted to try the black sesame noodle which surprisingly was very delicious with nuttiness from the black sesame. The seafood noodle was also good and the noodles had the perfect amount of chew. Unfortunately we weren't impressed by their kimchi selection as it tasted very bland. It was busy and the service was quick. A very nice spot to grab some noodles!

Why does this place only have 3.5 stars?? Does it feel too commercialized? On Saturday nights, this restaurant is packed with what feels like every Korean person in Fort Lee and Palisades Park. On every other night the crowds are not bad. The restaurant is a big space with two levels, but people are packed in pretty tightly when it is busy. The menu is very extensive and has a lot more than just noodles. I always get a seafood soondubu (spicy korean tofu soup), which comes with a bonus plate of grilled pork as well as rice (and tea with rice at the end). I think that's an amazing amount of food for $18. We've also had donkatsu (fried pork) here, and of course the kalguksu (knife-cut noodles) is excellent. Bathrooms are downstairs. There is a free parking lot in the back!

We went to Myung Dong Noodle House (Fort Lee location) on a Monday afternoon. I had the seafood kalguksu and my partner ordered the yukgaejang kalguksu. I was asked if I wanted the soup to be mild or spicy and I am very glad I chose the spicy option because it was very tasty (it was clean-not too heavy soup) I also loved the freshly cut noodles. We also ordered the myungdong mini dumplings as an appetizer which I didn't take a picture of BECAUSE the presentation of the dumplings didn't look so appealing. The flavor itself wasn't disappointing just the presentation of the dumplings could be better- it was in a plastic box.

Busy but a good spot to try if your in the mood for korean soupy noodle. They are famous for their white broth noodle but i think their summer special menus are what brings me back to this place. Their cold bean soup noodle, cold chicken broth noodle is so refreshing and delicious. It gets busy during peak lunch and dinners but theres usually a very short line and they can quickly accommodate large groups. The place is clean w clean bathrooms and the staff are well trained and used to the very fast paced energy of this restaurant. There is also parking in the back!

Food here was way better than my expectations going in. We ordered the MD kalguksoo and galbijim combo. Serving size was HUGE and they did not skimp on the meat. Noodle broth had a deep rich flavor and noodles had a nice chew. I recommend eating the noodles asap because they get overcooked as it sits in the broth. The galbijim flavors were perfectly balanced and not to strong. The meat was soft and juicy! We also got the pork bibimbap. Flavors here were also not too strong and greasy and well balanced. I loved their addition of rice cakes (automatic 5 stars there because of that) and it included lots of onions which added a nice texture to the meal. I think the combo alone could have fed up to 3 people but we weren't sure and disgustingly stuffed ourselves. Everything was delicious and authentic!

Kal Guksu is a solid choice. I heard that the soup base was made from chicken, and it was remarkable to know it was; ground beef, orions, some mushrooms are usual ingredients in the soup. 4+ Here are my disappointments. The skin of each tempura was too hard, not like freshly made to order. I was certain that they were skinned and fried early of the day and refried. Squids, peppers, and shrimps inside were ok, but the fried skin did not support the inside at all. 1+. One of seasonal menus, cold Kong Guksu, was another disappointment. It was noted 'organic', and soup itself wasn't too bad but along with noodles, too much cucumbers and sesame, it didn't give me any impression. No soul. 1+ The white kimchi had no soul either. I remember it was better before, but it seems too old, with a hint of Sprite taste. 1+ I travelled South Korea to taste Kong Guksu, at a restaurant which only served Kong Guksu on the menu more than 57 years. Their Kong Guksu had only soup and noodle. it represented how confident they were, by having only soup and noodle, no cucumbers, tomatoes or sesame, no distraction to the basics what so ever. It may be unfair to compare two, but I just want to address why it was on the seasonal menu, and how disappointed I was by tasting a special menu served at Myung Dong Noodle House. I think they need to improve all menus other than Kal Guksu.

Myung dong noodle house has increased their price significantly over the years unfortunately. While the taste of the food is mostly good, the quality has also gone down in my opinion. The dumplings are not as juicy as it used to be but the dumpling skin is still thin and yummy. The dumplings were better presented in previous years. You can see that it comes out w tears and holes that already have juice spilling out. The classic noodles are also very delicious with a lot of umami flavor but the noodles are not as chewy and often overcooked. I had the spicy seafood kalguksu and while it had a lot of seafood in it that made it delicious, the soup was still surprisingly pretty bland and felt watered down. Overall, I was a bit disappointed. There are still other things in the menu that I would like to try next time but I don't think the items that I got were worth getting especially for the expensive price. The tables were also so close to each other that you couldn't have any private conversations. It was so close that my friend couldn't even get into her seat. The service was good and met expectations.

Crowded spot! It can get loud so not a quiet sit down during busy times. The staff was friendly, the food was good, the menu was extensive, the prices were around +20 per entree on average. In the past it used to be less expensive. For the price to quantity, I think they could offer more. I recommend the BBQ bulgogi app. I never had something like that - pressed flat like a patty. Also ordered the pork dolpan which is a staple choice and cannot go wrong. A new item on the menu I tried was kimchi Biji meal. Reminded me of tofu soup and it came with a side of grilled pork and rice. Next time will have to come back for the noodles.

Horrible sanitation and attention to food. We found a huge piece of plastic in our noodles and they blamed it on the dumplings because they use frozen dumplings and then made us pay still.

We stopped in around 3:25pm on a Saturday for a late lunch since we had just finished a movie at the iPic nearby. There were a decent amount of people in the restaurant, but they weren't full. They sat us at a booth table in the lower level. Service was basically bare bones. They came to drop off water and tea, took our orders, and then came back a little later to slap two plates of pickled cabbage and kimchi to the table. Food came out shortly after. After they dropped off our dishes, we never saw them again until it was time to pay the check. Food was OK. X had their MD Donkatsu and I had the MD Konguksu. We split an order of MD mandoo. The Konguksu was a decent portion, but the soup wasn't as smooth as I was expecting. Mandoo were pretty small and again, just OK.

Solid kalguksu in NJ! We ordered their MD kalguksu and haemul pajeon set, and their haemul soondubu which came with a side of grilled pork too. The portion size is generous, it was SO MUCH FOOD for two people. The dumplings in their MD kalguksu has a minty aftertaste? But their noodles are so smooth and the broth is hearty. I see ourselves coming here often on cold days. But I'm looking forward to trying their naengmyeon on summer days too.

How the mighty have fallen. Years ago, this was my favorite place for Korean food because they did everything RIGHT. Now they can't even get the free kimchi banchan right. Would've given 2 stars for the food alone but service was attentive and lightning-fast.

Great service and portions. You can taste the healthy touches going into everything they make. Dandelions in almost everything haha.... The soba is refreshing and perfectly paired with the crispy Tempura. Just remember to keep the tempura aside before digging into the noodles! The kalgooksu was a bit underwhelming-- tbh arirang kalgooksu in flushing has more depth in flavor for me and their duhduki is better. Dumplings are solid-- thin skin and full of meat/veggies! Must order! Forgot to take a pic of the next dish-- spicy galbi jjim--!! loads of sauce and meat. Only wish they had a little more tubers in it lol I recommend you order it-- plan on taking the leftovers home for your next dinner and mix in some rice and kimchi! You won't regret it!! I def want to try the soondubu Jigae and dolsots next time! Will def be going back!

Delicious kalguksu broth and very elastic noodles. However, the dumpling filling was pretty tough and flavorless. Seafood pancake was light and crispy with lots of seafood and definitely one of the better pancakes I've had. Food came out quickly, but waiters did not come around to refill waters very frequently. The restaurant had multiple levels with walls covered in dark tile and wood panels.

I had a deeply disappointing experience at this restaurant. We arrived for dinner on a Saturday evening, aware they close at 9:30 PM, but our food didn't arrive until 8:50 PM. By 9:00 PM, the three male servers started loudly cursing and complaining about having to serve customers past 9 PM. Their unprofessional behavior made us feel rushed and uncomfortable, so we quickly finished our meal and left. While the female server was kind, it was shocking that such behavior was allowed in front of guests. It was an unpleasant dining experience, and I won't be returning.

Serviceable Korean restaurant especially for their noodles. It's summer time and we are on a cold noodle hunt. Been to the ones in Palisades Park and this is our favorite so far. It's also much more expensive than the others. Banchan is their tasty kimchi - red and white. We ordered the cold noodles in beef broth with a side of grilled pork and cold noodles in spicy sauce with sliced beef. Both versions are my favorite I have tried this summer. I love the noodles they use not too thick and it doesn't become gummy. I love the ratio of vegetables they put in. The only thing I didn't appreciate was how gamey the grilled pork was. We were tempted into ordering the assorted tempura because we saw our neighboring table ordering it. It was a good accompaniment to the cold noodles - there are types of fried vegetables, fried squid and fish and shrimp. The fried chrysanthemum leaves were my favorite. Prices are not cheap at all. This is not Pal Park where you can get a bowl of noodles for less than $12. Quality does make up for it and they use very healthy ingredients. Looking forward to trying the thistle bibimbap they have on their menu.

Food: 7/10 Atmosphere: 6/10 Service: 6/10 Value: 5/10 Tips: Soooo busy during lunch time week day or weekend. Food tastes better than pre-COVID. They always come up with great healthy menu options for health conscious people! Only thing is that it can be pricy $25-35 per person with one dish and not many banchans (only white and red kimchi)

Amazing korean noodles Was in the area and decided to stop here for lunch. Was surprised that we had to wait 20 minutes to be seated but then I understood why this place was so popular. The restaurant was packed! We started off the with steamed pork and chive dumplings - tons of meat wrapped in a delicate wrapper. So yummy. For the main dishes, we got the dumpling noodle soup and the cold noodles which also came with a side of grilled pork. The noodles were so fresh with an amazing texture. Just the right amount of bite. I really enjoyed alternating between cold and hot haha. Also the kimchi here was amazing. Spicy with tons of garlicky flavor. Overall, loved this spot will be coming back.

Searched up "cold noodles" on Yelp because it was such a hot day and came across Myung Dong. After you order, you get the usual banchan dishes: kimchi, radishes, non spicy cabbage. Also make sure to order a kimchi seafood pancake to share for the table! My husband got the spicy naengmyeon (cold noodle) and I ended up getting a soondubu. Guess who ended up eating most of the other person's food hehe! Both were delicious and come with a side of grilled pork. The cold noodles were spicy but sweet - and vermicelli noodles were easy to chew (unlike the buckwheat ones). I can't wait to come back!

Decent hand made noodle house! Great portion sizes in noodles Here the breakdown: - myung dong kalguksu & haemul pajun combo 4/5: great deal if you want to try their special. Pancake has generous amount of seafood but it does falls apart easily. Soup was also flavorful and hearty - yookaejang kalguksu 3.5/5: not my fave, just tastes like spicy soup

This is my go-to place for noodles. I come here once a week and Konguksu and Naengmyun are my favorite. I highly recommend!

Amazing food. The Kahului is a must along with the dumplings. Kimchi is fire good and they give you plenty of refills

The service was terrible, I would not go again. Very disappointed overall. I was ignored the entire time.. food was ok.

Food is REALLY good! We can for lunch first time for me, the broth was so rich and flavorful. We can back 2 nights later for my wife's birthday with the kids. Friendly service, plenty of seating and awesome food!

Excellent lunch experience here! I hadn't dined at this new location before, but the space is huge and clean. The parking lot in the back is definitely a plus, especially given that parking in Fort Lee can be quite hectic and difficult already. I ordered the signature noodles + seafood ddukbokki combo along with the dumplings. Everything was amazing, especially the dumplings! Super thin wrapper with flavorful filling. The spicy sauce for the rice cakes suited my taste, as it was not too sweet as many restaurants tend to make it. The noodles themselves were fresh with the right texture, and the broth was warm and tasty. I'd definitely come back the next time I'm in the area!

Not sure why this place doesn't have higher ratings. It was packed when I got there for lunch, but the staff were very efficient in turning over tables and getting people seated. I ordered the soondooboo which comes with a side of pork. The portion size is very large and the food was delicious! Pricing is on par with other restaurants in fort Lee.

Nice Korean noodle house, and generous portion sizes for family-style sharing. On my most recent visit, I tried the sweet soy braised beef special, which was so juicy and fall-off-the bone tender. One of the owners stopped by to ask how we were enjoying our meal, and she mentioned this dish was her grandmother's recipe! It was our group's favorite dish of the night, so it made it all the more special.

Tldr, overall good korean food and would go back to try other items if in the area! We went to MD Noodle House for Monday lunch. There were a few parking spots open behind the store and despite it being a weekday lunch, the place had quite a few customers. We ordered the myeong dong kalguksu and the fried shrimp hot buckwheat noodle. The MD kalguksu was good although not as good as the original myeong dong kalguksu in Korea that we had. The kimchi on the other hand was great and really close to what we remember. The buckwheat noodle was also pretty good. It was a little bland but it worked out for me because I wasn't feeling that well and needed something low-key that day. Service was great and the hot tea they give out instead of water was very reminiscent of Korea!

Very nice kalguksoo noodles! Clean taste from seaweed and clam kalguksoo. I tasted the pure ingredient and not amsg shortcut. I normally do not eat kalguksoo but this sets a nice reference. Stars: 1 - Just go on a fast or eat dirt 2- Crazy hungry or someone else paying 3- Not bad and not great 4 - Yummy Yummy 5 - OMG! I ate my fingers too

Disappointing Service wasn't great Parking in the back :) you can walk inside for the back. Just go up the stairs. This is where the bathrooms are Didn't get kalgooksoo (what they're famous for) Got the rice cake mandoo soup and dolsot bibimbap. The dduk/rice cake had a bad taste. Not all but some had that mothball taste. Dolsot was okay. Ended up taking the leftover dolsot bibimbap home If you go for lunch you have to order two dishes. They do not let you order one dish for two people. So we had to order another dish which is why we got the dolsot.

This is our go to spot for (Korean knife cut noodles) and their delicious, steaming dumplings! They have many other menu items too - including the (aged kimchi stew with pork), which became my new favorite here!

Very generous portion sizes compared to price. I came here on President's Day and it was extremely busy. I was seated within 15 minutes. The service is quick and efficient. They come around with kimchi regularly while you're eating your meal.
