I love this place SO much, one of my favorite casual eats in LA. I always order the knife cut noodles, spicy chewy noodles, and the shrimp pork dumplings. The combo is amazing!!!! The broth in the knife cut noodles is so comforting and my fav hangover cure 😉 Staff is very kind. Highly recommend.

Best noodle and dumpling place in ktown!! I have to say the price is not very affordable, but the dishes are very delicious. A plate of tiny dumplings, 10 pieces each, costs $20, but at least they are the best Korean dumplings I have ever had. I also like the soy bean cold noodles a lot.

The kalguksu was so warm and rich in flavor. I highly recommend! The noodles were not too soft, and the portion was quite big, so I had leftovers. The food came out relatively quickly.

MDK Noodles did not disappoint. The pork dumplings were juicy and flavorful, with a perfectly tender wrapper and a well-seasoned filling that tasted fresh and comforting. Each bite was satisfying and…

Amazing Korean comfort food here, specifically knife-cut noodles and rice cake soups. The portions are generous, prices are reasonable and the staff is always courteous.

Delicious! Highly recommend the kalguksu. Service isn't all that great though which is really unfortunate. The food makes up for it though! Can't wait to add this to my list of restaurants in ktown…

Very good food and service in a casual setting in Korea Town. The knife cut noodles with chicken are excellent and the bulgolgi is good, if not of the same caliber of some bbq restaurants. The servers are warm, friendly and efficient. Really like this place as it’s all around great.

Frankly, I was felling kinda sick and slightly cold before I got in. You know that thin line between being okay and being sick, that’s what I’m talking about. Then I ordered Hot Noodle Soup with Anchovy Broth, and made sure that it doesn’t contain any pork products in the broth. Prior to my food they brought pickled sweet cabbage and kimchi. The soup was perfectly balanced, there was nothing too much in it and knife cut noodles were perfectly cooked. However, the soup wasn’t spicy at all but when I added the kimchi in it thats when the whole scenario had changed drastically. When I was walked out after my meal, believe me I was feeling really good and there were no signs of any symptoms of cold.

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.

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.

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.

I had high hopes for this location since I’ve been to the Anaheim spot multiple times and always had a great experience. While the kalguksu itself was pretty good, the customer service and wait time were disappointing. Even though the restaurant wasn’t busy, it still took about 20 to 25 minutes for our food to come out. Overall, I’d give it a 3.5. If you’re in the area, I’d highly recommend checking out the Anaheim location instead. 👍🏻

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.

This place is bright and clean with lots of seating. We waited about 5 minutes before we got seated in a party of 5. I def recommend ordering the food family style bc the portions are shareable and huge. The majority of us couldn’t finish our bowl of noodles. The pan fried dumplings were pretty good. The kimchi is a little bit on the spicy side. So if you get any of the spicy dishes, it’s about the same level of spicy.

This is a must-visit restaurant when I visit LA. As long as the food tastes above average, I don't have to worry about the taste. On my recent visit, I was surprised to see that the prices had risen significantly. In particular, the price of the dumplings was $22 for 10 pieces. As you can see in the picture, I don't think the dumplings I received were of the quality for this price. I was satisfied with the spicy taste and generous portions of the meat noodles and bibim naengmyeon. We visited in the morning, and the servers seemed tired as they were busy. And there is an inexpensive parking lot nearby for Myeongdong Gyoza. Instead, after you finish eating, you must receive a private parking certificate from the server.

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.

Street parking is usually full and the structure you can park at for the restaurant now has a mandatory $2 minimum fee even with validation. I took 3 minutes to run in and pick up my order and the …

Visited for the first time in 10 years. The Kimchi is actually easier to eat now with less garlic flavor than before, which I liked. The Shrimp Dumplings are still delicious as always. However, the Kalguksu (Noodle Soup) was... hard to describe. To be honest, I can't even say it was 'average.' It was quite disappointing compared to the past. On the bright side, they have a parking lot now, so parking is much easier.

It wasn’t particularly great; it just felt like an ordinary soup place. Thanks
