Dumplings and noodles are one of my biggest weaknesses....much like crack to a heroin addict, I absolutely can't say no to dumplings and noodles. Trying to go low carb?? F*ck it!! Not when there's dumplings and noodles around!
Myungdong Kalguksu is a local authentic Korean dumpling, noodle and hot pot joint that serves some fantastic Korean fare that I've been wanting to try for a while now.
The menu is small but everything they serve is fantastic and homely. The Giant Korean Dumplings (Wang Mandu) are large thin skinned steamed dumplings stuffed with a wonderful ground pork and chive filling. An order comes in a set of six which in itself is enough as a meal for one.
The Kalguksu is a delicious knife cut wheat noodle in a flavorful beef broth along with pieces of ground meat and veggies.
To top it off they give you a big container of the most garlic intense home made kimchi that is made daily. Do not and I repeat do not go to an important date or meeting after you eat the kimchi as your breath will reek of garlic despite a ton of breath mints!
Service is very efficient and the food comes out quickly. Price wise everything is reasonable as entrees are about $10 and hot pots are about $20. Definitely a great place to satisfy my dumpling and noodle weakness.
4/5. Great job!
