mdk noodles (Myung Dong Kyoja)

This has been one of the best Korean places I've been. I had the Spicy Kalguksu (Knife cut noodle in Chicken broth) and the beef bulgogi and they were both delicious. If you don't like spicy, order the regular Kalguksu. The beef bulgogi tasted amazing. Fully recommended 🤌🏽🙌🏽

I’ve been coming here for over five years, and although I’ve tried many different menu items, not all of them were consistently satisfying. They offer a wide variety of dishes, but for two people, the best combination I’ve found is the shrimp dumplings and the knife-cut noodles. These two are reliably good and definitely worth ordering.

Fantastic place to try out Korean food at a budget price. I had the food delivered and it was very delicious and more importantly also packed very well for delivery. The noodles was really good, but bibinbap , although good, tasted slightly better at another spot I tried. Great portion size too and sufficient for two people if not super hungry. Highly recommend checking out if you are in the area.

Food and service was great. This was the comfort food in ktown. The food definitely hits the spot when you’re craving something that is easy on the stomach. Their price gone up very high. Overall I enjoyed the foods. I also appreciated the great service.

This is probably my fourth time trying this place while I’m in LA, and it still doesn’t do it for me. The noodle soup (칼국수) tastes very bland, and the dumplings (만두) feel like frozen mandu. I don’t think I’d come back.

I had their signature kalguksoo, and wow it was absolutely delicious and unbelievably generous in portion. Honestly, if you’re not starving, there’s no way you can finish it! And their kimchi… unforgettable. The kind of flavor that makes your mouth water the second it hits your tongue. I even went back to try the bibim guksu, but that one left me a bit disappointed. Parking isn’t free it’s $2 but honestly, for that kalguksoo and kimchi, I didn’t even mind.

On a Saturday afternoon the place is full and vibrant. I recommend coming here at times like this. We had no wait! The #9 dumplings are hearty, amazing and well made! I had a hand cut noodle and broth bowl. Delicious noodles! I really like the location. I like Wilshire and this place actually allows you to live the Wilshire experience. You can get in some decent people watching at some tables. I ordered the #5 which is a dumpling soup. The broth is more in the bland side. I came because I was not feeling great so the soup didn’t disagree with my stomach. The dumplings are plentiful and very good. They add a little bit of ground meat. Unfortunately they add a ton of onions. Silly me. I ordered quickly and didn’t notice this dish has no noodles and I was craving noodles. I assumed everything had noodles because they’re called MDK Noodles but I was so wrong. The noodles here are superb so I definitely missed out. The soup is about $18. They serve two kinds of kimchi as banchan. One typical and the other without the red chili sauce and I loved this variant because even though I love gochujang sauce I’m not always in the mood. They aren’t good with water refills. Meter parking and I believe they also validate in some lot.
