Love this place! I can always rely on their chicken ginseng soup when I'm sick. Not only is it clean and tasty, but cures the cold!

It was a great Korean restaurant . Simple spacious and quiet . The food was so tasty . Loved their oyster tofu soup which is included in the Beef Gulgogi combo. It was a big serving good for two . Lal I beef was excellent soft and delicious. You can taste the seeetness of marinated sauce. Included purple rice and their own condiments. Price was reasonableService was good. I check in for yelp and got a free soda. But unfortunately they stop it long time ago. Si yelp needs to update the freebies. Overall excellent food choices

Got take out here after a hike. My mom was craving soup so we decided to stop by here. Service was kind and pretty quick gave us our order in a plastic bag wrapped well with cardboard at the bottom so nothing would spill! Also gave us lots of sides w our soup including pickled cucumbers, bean sprouts, kimchi, & fish cakes! Soup was not to heavy, flavorful, and warm to my belly! Big portion sizes! The restaurant is very casual and practical good for laidback family and friend gatherings.

Korean style Sun-Tofu stew restaurant.I ordered $29 Galbi combo.Don’t expect too much. It is La Crescenta local restaurant.So it is one of choice to eat locally not going to K-town.

one of those places that demand a tip (‘tipflation’; read the papers) after the kid mumbled something in korean and turned his back and wouldn’t say what it is, and for really poor service of just one customer. just one. don’t deny the customer was nice to you. you’re rude like hell while taking people’s money.don’t come here if your skin is black or brown—might work if you’re in a group.to the family who owns this restaurant, don’t hide your prejudices in plain sight. you’re in la crescenta, formerly KKK hotbed, because we’re color blind now. be kind. be fair. get rid of your prejudices.

awesome Korean food and far better parking than K-Town . Don't expect any great views and their short staffed like every other business in the world, but, the food was very good. The young man who was working was very honest and kind about a 20 minute wait for food .The seafood pancake was fantastic and the tofu soup with pork was awesome! I'll be back!

I live in a very Korean neighborhood, and while I shop in the Korean markets regularly, I rarely hit up the restaurants. Last night stopped to try Myung Dong. Ordered the spicy pork and mushroom tofu soup. They give you so much yummy food at a great price. Highly recommend!

Ordered the Sol Maru Haejangguk. And man this was legit. We just came back from Seoul and Busan, and this was just as good as what I had there. Delicious. Homely. Authentic. we will be coming back.
This place is my local top spot for hot pot. My favorite dish is the clam tofu soup, which arrives boiling hot along with all the little kbbq side dishes & egg. Seafood & muscle tofu soup are also winners. My husband always gets the galbi beef & my kiddo gets the kids' chicken & rice. Kids meal comes with glass noodles, yum. Staff is nice, & literally everything is delicious.

I absolutely LOVE their food. They have large portion sizes too. Here's what I recommend: Beef Bulgogi, Galbi Short Ribs, Kimchi Tofu, Seafood Pancake. Everything here tastes like my mom's cooking, but better. They also don't skimp on the banchan! I've never been in the restaurant, we only order via Postmates.

This place is such a hidden gem. The tofu soup is one of the best I’ve ever had, bibimbap portions are massive, and the banchan selection is great. Definitely recommend to anyone that’s searching for authentic Korean flavors!

Great spot for some tofu soup! For the price of your meal and amount of food you get I will definitely be coming back here! I got the clay pot bimbap and added my choice of tofu soup for an extra $4! I like that this place lets you choose any soup you want and doesn't limit your choices too! Only downside is service can be slow so just be patient!

I went in there New Year's Eve 2022 on a rainy night and the place was empty. However, I absolutely love bibimbap in the hot clay pot with the rice sticking to the bowl, all nice and brown and crunchy. I was hoping they'd have a vegan option. Bingo! I ordered mine with tofu, greens, and other veggies with the side of mushroom tofu soup in a smaller bubbling hot clay pot for only $3 extra. It was perfect! I also love the little appetizer bowls with kimchee, cucumber, bean sprouts and whatever else they might have, this night was potatoes in a sweet sauce. I went back again on Jan. 2, 2023 with a girlfriend and we shared the same thing I ordered above but they slipped up and put scrambled egg (I'm vegan) so we just removed it and tried the veggie tofu soup on the side. They had mung bean cake instead of the potatoes for the apps. Their Korean pancake made with mung bean and veggies was also yummy. My girlfriend loved it and is planning to go back with family. She has lived there for at least 6 months and didn't know about the place.
