Giant steamed buns & Korean dumplings, a K-town staple since Bourdain visit
"Myung In serves massive Korean dumplings in a strip mall storefront. The space is crammed with people eating wang mandu—steamed, softball-sized dumplings stuffed with kimchi and pork. There are four to an order, which is enough to fill you up if you’re grabbing a quick solo lunch. But it’s best to come with a group so you can try the shrimp and vegetable dumpling soup, and some pork and shrimp pan-fried dumplings (wang mandu). photo credit: Jakob Layman" - Brett Keating
"Myungin Dumplings is a long-standing Koreatown staple and the fact they’re now operating out of a tiny space in the Northridge Fashion Center should be extremely exciting for everyone in the area. Plain and simple, you won’t find many Korean dumplings in town better than the ones served at Myungin. The softball-sized King Steamed Dumplings come filled with pork and kimchi, and though there are only four to an order, that’s more than enough for a quick solo lunch. If you’re with a group though, be sure to throw in some wang mandu (spicy pan-fried dumplings) and beef dumpling soup." - Brant Cox
"Find king-sized steamed dumplings at this strip mall spot in Koreatown, along with fried chicken, soup, and more. Available with fillings including red bean, kimchi, and vegetables, each plate of dumplings runs for only $13.99. The dumplings are also available at Myung In’s second location in Northridge." - Eater Staff

"Three words: Gigantic. Steamed. Dumplings. Approximately the size of a softball, the pork and kimchi dumplings at Myung In are not here to play games. Each order comes with four pieces of the massive mandu (our new Twitter name?), which is the perfect amount for a quick, easy lunch. Or a long one. Even though you’re working from home, you should still take a proper lunch break, you know. Available for takeout and delivery." - brant cox, kat hong
