Myungin Dumplings (+Chicken) 19520 Nordhoff Street, Los Angeles, CA 91324

"We tried a half order of the garlic fried chicken, shrimp fried rice and a bowl of their short rib soup. Everything was delicious. The short rib soup has the perfect amount of meat/noodle combo and the broth is top notch. Garlic chicken had no grease and was super crunchy on the outside and steamy hot inside. We will definitely be back real soon. Small hidden gem in Northridge."

"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!"

"Very impressive dumplings! The sides that come free of charge were fantastic, and the dumplings are enormous with generous amounts of fillings. Excellent staff, prompt service, and delicious flavors. Here, you most definitely receive value for your money. Would absolutely dine here once more."

"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."
