    This place is a little gem across the street from the mall. It was a cute little area that satisfied my dumplings cravings. Only thing I questioned was if all the dumplings had the same filling but a different presentation. I can tell the wrapping were made in house .. they were all so light and fluffy. Didn't taste pre-made at all. Service was with a smile ... and I enjoyed talking to the server about how they made the food and how long they've been open. Definitely a place I'd visit again when I visit. Bon Appetit!!!!

    I give this place 5/5. Hospitality was 5/5. They are very welcoming, helpful and attentive. The food was seasoned too good and I can't get enough. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It side was clean, good space around and well lighted.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It was a good dinner and it was a good experience. Depends what n the day and parking can be a challenge.

    Their Sweet And Spicy Fried Chicken is a definite MUST-TRY!! Their house-made sauce is blended with Korean spices, giving you that glossy, sticky, sweet heat that builds gently without overpowering. Not super spicy, more sweet taste but insanely flavorful and addictive. We got a half order, which consisted of 1 wing, 1 drumstick, 1 thigh, 2 rib, 2 breast, costing $16.99. A whole order of chicken is $28.99. We would definitely order again. Dumplings are handmade fresh daily. You can literally taste the difference in every bite -- juicy fillings, delicate wrappers, and that perfect pleat. We tried: Dim Sum 10 pc $16.99 Korean style dumplings 8 pc $15.99 King Steamed Dumpling With Pork And Vegetables 4pc $15.99 Pan Fried Dumplings 10pc $16.99 My favorites were the Korean style dumplings and Pan Fried Dumplings. King Steamed Dumpling With Pork And Vegetables is huge, fluffy and bouncy. The taste of the filling was okay. The dim sum was a good size and looked pretty. Hard to pick up with chopsticks without the bottom breaking. The bottom was really delicate so using a spoon makes it easier. The Marinaded Beef $15.99 (half order) was perfect with rice. Complimentary small Sides: kimchi, pickled radish and cabbage salad. I really liked the pickled radish. This place is tucked away in a strip near the Northridge Promenade Shopping Center. Parking can be difficult during peak hours. Nyi had wonderful customer service.

    3. Spicy Shrimp and Pork Dumpling
    Ernie S.

    not a bad spot, wish they had more variety and pretty steep considering the amount of food I got. big parking area. nice folks. spicy shrimp and pork dumplings hard to eat and the rest of the food is ok but maybe I haven't found the right sauce.

    Tried Myungin Dumplings in Northridge, across the street from Northridge Fashion Square. Portions here are generous, and we ordered several dishes to sample the menu. The pork and shrimp dim sum was bigger than expected and very juicy. The bulgogi came out on a sizzling plate and had solid flavor. I also really liked the green onion pancake was crispy outside with a chewy, almost mochi-like texture inside. The Kimchi King steamed dumplings were HUGE and could easily be a meal on their own. We also had the fried shrimp (not made in-house but still crispy) and the soy garlic fried chicken, which was sweet, savory, and enjoyable. Nice to see the buns being made fresh. Overall, good portions and comforting food, a solid spot if you're in the area craving dumplings.

    I enjoyed coming here for a casual dine-in to enjoy some fresh and hot dumplings. They are of pretty big sizing, which was to my group's pleasure. I highly recommend the dim sum dumplings, as you can taste and enjoy each bite of handmade goodness. There are also a generous amount of sides given (Korean-style yay!) to pair with the dumplings as well as chili oil to give every single bite a different element. The menu seemed very inviting to try more but we were in a hurry and had to wrap our food quickly. It also seems like they're always upgrading their menu and releasing new items to try! They take Apple pay and you just have to pay at the counter. Easy to get seated at here, there's lots of open tables to sit at. Service is efficient and nothing extraordinary. Solo bathrooms for men and women.

    I really enjoyed coming here for a snack bite of some fresh, hot dumplings!!! It was my first time trying Korean dumplings and I enjoyed them here at Myungin Dumplings. Located in a shared but big and narrow lot, it was easy finding this spot. I thought that sharing two dishes here with a group was great for what we needed. We tried out the pan fried dumplings (shrimp, pork, vegetables) and the Dim Sum (steamed with pork and shrimp). Chewy, the dough for both dumplings were yummy. It was great how clear the menu was as it showed what was inside each dumpling. The sides were good to chew and munch on also with the dumplings. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I definitely also appreciate how clean the interior is and decorated!!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The rest of the menu seemed super good too and would definitely love to come back here again to try out more!!

    I've ordered delivery from here before and went there in person to dine in for the first time recently. We ordered an assortment of dumplings - kimchi, pan fried, shrimp, along with some fried rice and pancake. The pancake with the dipping sauce was tasty. The best of the dumplings were the shrimp, although the spice level was kinda high for me. The fried rice was slightly bland. Overall, their food is OK. Not sure if I'd go back though.

    The place was easy to find and even though the parking seemed small we were able to snatch a spot. Everyhing we tried was good and service was great! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was a bit warm but not terrible. It was a hot day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    11. Fried Rice with Shrimp and Vegetables
    Rikparna G.

    Stopped by Myungin Dumplings on Saturday for a late lunch, and it turned out to be an exceptional experience from start to finish. We ordered a variety of dishes, including their dim sum and fried dumplings, which were perfectly cooked--crispy on the outside, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. The true highlight of the meal was the fried chicken. We tried both the sweet & spicy and the soy garlic, and while both were excellent, the soy garlic absolutely stood out. It was crispy, well-coated, and packed with rich, savory flavor without being overpowering. Easily one of the best versions I've had. We also ordered the chicken fried rice, which was comforting, well-seasoned, and paired perfectly with the rest of the meal. Even the lemonade deserves a mention--refreshing and balanced, a great complement to the bold flavors of the food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself was very clean and well maintained, and the service was warm and attentive throughout our visit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff was friendly, efficient, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. Compliments to the chef--every dish tasted thoughtfully prepared and consistently delicious. If you're looking for high-quality dumplings, standout fried chicken, and excellent service, Myungin Dumplings is absolutely worth a visit. I'll definitely be returning.

    Best k fried chicken!
    Rocky A.

    Best korean food in the valley!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Korean food never disappoints. The flavors are bold, savory, and perfectly balanced. From the crispy, juicy fried chicken to the rich and comforting bowls of bibimbap, everything tasted fresh and authentic. The side dishes (banchan) were a huge bonus -- so many little flavors packed into one meal. Definitely coming back again.

    Crispy Chicken Buns
    Michi C.

    If you are looking for authentic dim sum, this place is great. We got the green onion pancake, potstickers, pork buns, fried chicken, dumpling soup and it was all delicious. I think we could've skipped the fried chicken, it was good, we just ordered too much food. Definitely a must try. If you are in the area. The service is also great, everybody is very kind.

    First time here, and it definitely won't be my last…read more The food was flavorful, freshly made, and hit the spot. My coworkers ordered the Chicken Gangjeong in both the Soy Garlic and Sweet & Spicy flavors. I only had a bite of each, but both were juicy and seemed to be made with dark meat chicken. The Soy Garlic was actually sweeter than the Sweet & Spicy, which caught me off guard, while the Sweet & Spicy had more of a mild heat than an overwhelming kick. I ordered the Grandma Tteokbokki at spice level 2 and added melted cheese and ramen. Those add-ons were absolutely worth it. The cheese made the sauce extra creamy, while the ramen soaked up all of the flavor and turned it into a hearty, comforting meal. Spice level 2 had a nice kick without overpowering the dish, making it easy to enjoy from start to finish. Overall, everything we tried was satisfying, and I'd happily come back to work my way through more of the menu. If you're ordering the tteokbokki, I definitely recommend adding the cheese and ramen--you won't regret it.

The Rose was really good, but it was a little too rich for me. I personally preferred the Grandma Tteokbokki. I also liked the larger tteok over the mini tteok because it was softer and chewier. Adding ramen and cheese is a must! The cashier was also really nice. Even though he was new, he was able to answer all of our questions and provided excellent service. The restaurant was super clean, organized, and had a welcoming atmosphere. We'll definitely be back the next time we make a trip to SoCal!

We stopped by on a Tuesday for lunch, and nostalgia definitely did not disappoint. The restaurant is spacious with plenty of seating, making it a comfortable spot to enjoy a meal. The Jjolmyeon has always been our all-time favorite from the LA location, so ordering it was a no-brainer. And wow... it somehow tasted even better here! We also ordered the Yuk Kalguksu (육칼국수) and Gun Mandu (군만두), and everything hit the spot. The Yuk Kalguksu came with such a generous portion that I happily finished the noodles, enjoyed some of the rich, spicy broth, and still had enough soup and beef to box up for another meal. Talk about a bonus dinner! The mandu was perfectly crispy and paired so well with the refreshing, chewy jjolmyeon. For us, a restaurant earns a spot in our regular rotation only if it checks three boxes: delicious food, friendly service, and cleanliness. Hodori easily checks all three. In fact, I came back after work the very same day to pick up dinner for the family (because one visit clearly wasn't enough ). We ordered Galbi Ugeoji Haejangguk (갈비 우거지 해장국), Galbitang (갈비탕), Tteokbokki (떡볶이), Samgyetang (삼계탕), and Yukgaejang (육개장). I placed the order before leaving work, and by the time I arrived about 15 minutes later, everything was neatly packed and ready to go. As a working mom, finding a restaurant that serves delicious food, offers great service, and makes takeout this effortless feels like striking gold. It saves me time in the kitchen while keeping everyone's tummies full and happy. Safe to say, Hodori has officially earned a permanent spot on our takeout list.

    Absolutely terrible customer service…read more I came in with my two kids (ages 4 and 8). They were quietly waiting while we looked at the menu and were just moving the utensils around on the table like normal little kids. I politely asked if we could order regular meals to dine in and kids' meals to go. The younger employee simply said no, which was fine--I was only asking. Then an older Korean lady came over, got right in my face, and loudly said, "NO TAKE OUT!" The tone was rude, embarrassing, and completely unnecessary. Instead of treating us with basic courtesy, she made us feel like we weren't wanted there. As we were leaving, she pointed at my kids and shooed them away from the table because they had moved the utensils around. I was honestly speechless. I would never let my children trash a restaurant, and I would have cleaned up anything before leaving. To make it worse, this isn't the first time. On a previous visit, I watched this same older lady and an older man give my friends dirty looks and a nasty attitude over the tip, even though they had already left 18%. Charging around $35 for a single meal with rice comes with the expectation of decent hospitality. Instead, we were treated with disrespect from the moment we asked a simple question. There are too many amazing Korean restaurants in Los Angeles to spend this kind of money and be treated this poorly. Save your money and go somewhere that values its customers.

Having grown up there, though, I appreciate how good this place is, especially by suburban standards. Just high quality Korean food, whether or not you're in the mood for barbecue. The restaurant is spacious, plain, and inviting, the kind of no frills joint you might find in a strip mall in any vaguely Korean neighborhood. Service is good, fast and polite, and the food is delicious. I remembered Shik Do Rak as a Korean barbecue place, but my mom and I went for lunch and had bibmbap, naengmyun, and chicken, all of it was great. Loved the yeolmu bibimbap, a barley rice bowl with young radish and daenjang and a whole lot of vegetables to mix in, plus the various banchan--fish cake, cabbage and cucumber kimchi, bean sprout and radish namul, a warming beef broth. The naengmyun and dak bulgogi came as a lunch set, and both were super satisfying. Chewy noodles in cold broth, tender grilled chicken with plenty of flavor from the sweet and salty marinade. I don't make it out to Northridge that often, but I'm sure I'll be back to Shik Do Rak. It's low-key a Valley Korean institution, and I look forward to my next visit, even if it's years away.
