Myungin Dumplings (+Chicken)

Food: 4/10 Service: 10/10 Ambiance: 10/10 Parking: 10/10 The parking is so convenient, there’s plenty of spots! Inside the restaurant it appeared to be a slower day for them, there were no customers. The ambiance inside is charming and clean. The gentleman who helped us was nice and was a good server overall. The spicy wings were not spicy whatsoever, they’re so sweet. The banchans were so delicious. The crispy chicken buns were good. On the other hand the bulgogi portion was extremely small. The overall taste was average. I personally wouldn’t come back.

Last Sunday, my BFF and I gave this place a tryout of our curiosity. It was about 30 minutes after 1:00 pm their opening time on Sunday. There were 4 tables with other guests that got there before us, then another table of guests that came after us. That was a good sign! They were obviously understaffed. Only a girl that was making buns on an area, another girl who sat all the guests, took orders, served, took care on all the used dishes & cleaned all tables, and also processed payments. So, expect the service a bit slow if you aren't in a rush. On 3 of our orders, we enjoyed the spicy shrimp dumplings and soy garlic chicken more. Although, we think the chicken could be nicer if they were a bit more crunchier. They were in pretty good portions and decent price. We spent under $60.00 for 3 dishes. Plenty of parking. Nice service. Overall, clean & maintained in the dining area and restroom.

Stopped here for lunch, and it was amazing! Had the sweet and spicey fried chicken, pork buns, green onion pancake, and pan-fried dumplings. Everything was great, and our server was very nice.

This was a reasonable meal, but not top notch overall. But we didn't order any dumplings, so perhaps that would have made a difference. The banchan - the side dishes, were mediocre. But at least they provided some! Three dishes - an average kimchi, a very dull pickled radish (not a lot of flavor), and some shredded lettuce with thousand island dressing (not exciting). We had a half order of soy garlic fried chicken - very tasty, although you can't always tell what part of the chicken you are eating (they are cutting up the chicken themselves, which is not unusual). THe fried chicken is cooked very well and the coating is crispy, then they just dump whichever sauce you order on top. I would order this again. We also ordered bulgogi, which is a new dish and not on the regular menu. This was VERY good, I wish we ordered a full order instead of a half order (for two people). Very tasty. Servings were a bit small but reasonably priced. I did like that they are cooking everything fresh for you. Service was friendly and reasonably attentive. I guess I was just put off by the mediocre banchan.

Perfect lunch or dinner spot, especially on a cold and rainy day! We did family style and ordered a mix of regular and kimchi king steamed dumplings (which were massive), spicy shrimp dumplings, dumpling beef soup with rice cake, and sweet and spicy fried chicken. The dumplings were made fresh and cooked on the spot. The fried chicken wasn’t too greasy or heavy. Our favorites were the spicy shrimp dumplings and kimchi king steamed dumplings. Overall, everything was flavorful, packed with fresh ingredients and felt homemade. Service was phenomenal and thank you so much to Jannelle for making us feel at home! She was so kind and attentive!

We ordered a ½ order of garlic soy fried chicken (7 pieces) for 2 people, and it was more than enough for us. The chicken was so aromatic and each piece was juicy and cooked perfectly. We also ordered the boiled pork dumplings, green onion pancakes and a side of rice. The pickled daikon complimented everything. It was all so delicious and filling! I enjoyed my meal here very much and I definitely will be returning.

Really impressive dumplings! They definitely don't skimp on the fillings and the dumplings are huge, plus the complimentary sides were awesome. Fantastic flavors, quick service, and friendly staff. You definitely get more than your money's worth here. Would definitely eat here again.

My son loves dumplings, so we were excited to check out one of the dumpling places that just opened in our local area -- Myungin dumplings! Our unsavory experience started as soon as we got seated. The waitress proceeded to clean the table with an obviously dirty towel without using any visible disinfecting solution. Then, with her very unfriendly and unwelcoming attitude, brought out four glasses of water along with the very odd and dirty-looking container that appeared to be a plastic bottle with the top cut off and a faded company name and logo printed on the side (picture attached). The water inside the container did not look clean and was very unappealing. Then she started to bring out and very unprofessionally threw some small dishes on the table at us, such as kimchi, shredded cabbage, and sweet and sour radish. One of the dishes had hair on it (picture attached). When we mentioned there was a hair on it, she removed the dish and walked away looking upset that we pointed it out. The manager did not ever come out to offer anything, not even an apology. The chicken fried rice we ordered was brought out on the plate and it was so poorly plated that it looked like someone had already eaten half of it. It was very unappetizing (picture attached). The menu showed "Dim Sum 10 pieces. Steam dumplings w/pork, shrimp, egg, cabbage, and chives". The "Dim Sum" dumplings that we actually received were mostly stuffed with chopped inexpensive filler vegetables, a miniscule amount of chopped pork, and it was very difficult to find any bits of shrimp. There were some dishes that we ordered that were just never brought out to us and the wait staff made no mention of it and neither did we. We just wanted to leave as soon as possible. What a disappointing and unsatisfactory dining experience!!! I would NOT recommend this restaurant to anyone.
