Myungdong Noodle Shabu Shabu

15 years+ and there’s a reason why they’re still getting 5 star reviews! The menu is short but on point and the noddles are perfectly paired with meat. The kimchi is one of the best I have had, take some to go with you!

Best place to go when you’re craving a comforting bowl of noodle soup with perfectly garlicky kimchi

The gamjatang and the kimchi had a unique take, I liked it alot. I tend to like the saltier side, which it was. The spiciness was on point and noted heavy black pepper which was unique.

The kimchi I couldn't stop eating...so good

One of my favourite spots in the city, excellent food and portions for the price point.
I get the wellbeing shabu shabu as it comes with both beef and seafood, it gives great depth of flavour to the soup alongside the assorted veg. Having the noodles at the end with the finished soup is 10/10.
I've tried the dumplings and spicy cold noodles as well, and they're good but I come back for the shabu shabu.
Occasionally I notice some of the vegetables aren't the freshest but still always a well enjoyed meal.

Best kalguksu in York region, bossam was SOOO soft and thick, the Mandu was very nice as well. We bought a container of kimchi after our meal. Please give them a try so they have support and business. I know I will be backkkkkk. I will be ordering take out here and dining in whenever I can!

The dumplings and the kimchi are amazing!

No waiting. The noise is moderate. The staff are nice. The music is great. The food is excellent. We ordered steamed dumplings, kimchi, and beef rib noodles. The location is great. I love the pictures on the wall. The captions are awesome. Good job you gave us TWO types of water 💦. We will DEFINITELY be here again soon.🔜 Thank you

The noodles are fresh, chewy, and full of flavor, served in a rich, comforting broth that feels like true Korean home cooking. It’s hard to find kalguksu this good outside of Korea, and this spot really nails it.

But it doesn’t stop there, the dumplings are also excellent: perfectly steamed or pan-fried, with a flavorful filling that complements the meal beautifully. And don’t even get me started on the kimchi—fresh, tangy, and full of that classic homemade depth.

Everything tastes authentic, clean, and made with care, and the atmosphere is warm and casual—perfect for a cozy lunch or dinner. Whether you’re Korean or just love Korean cuisine, this place is a gem in Toronto and one I highly recommend. I’ll definitely keep going back.

I used to enjoy coming to this place. It has really come down in quality over the years. The servers are rude and impossible to communicate with. They refuse to bring anything outside of the menu combos even if you are willing to pay extra.

The food is still decent, although it used to be better. The only thing they have going is the price.

The tables are cluttered with all sorts of bottles and sauces. The bottles are all sticky and worn out. The servers abruptly come to your table and start preparing your food as if preparing hot-pot is some secret nobody knows about.

I don’t believe I will keep coming back. There are many better ones in the area. Skip this one.

Came here on a Wednesday night for dinner and was able to get seated for 2 without waiting.

First time having Korean dumplings and steamed > fried. Thankfully they offered half orders of the steamed as they were huge! The soup noodles are perfect for a cold winter day and warms the soul. I got the combo which included pork and was surprised by the portions. The kimchi was also really good and more sweet than sour.

Would recommend and come back.
