Myung Dong Kyoja (MDK Noodles)

This place is delicious!!! We were so lucky on a Saturday night in China town to get seated right away - handmade noodles and dumplings that our entire group all loved. They have a homemade garlic sauce to add to your soup that is to die for! Our server was fantastic. We’ll be back, for sure!

I enjoyed the kalguksu and kimchi dumplings here—they were absolutely delicious! This has quickly become one of my favorite Korean restaurants in Houston.

The hot noodles are usually great, I had the cold noodles and the cucumbers (it was definitely the cucumbers, they tasted spoiled, but I regrettably kept eating them) in it gave me the runs :(

I asked for a fork, but they gave me a plastic one at first, which was a no-brainer.
Rather, I was surprised that the foreign server gave me an iron fork.
I have no desire to go again.

spicy kalguksu had ground chicken, had dumplings and was very tasty. didn't need the chicken broth. bibimguksu had pickled vegetables other than that it was also very tasty. I added ground chicken to the bibimguksu. kimichi had garlic and was the best kimchi if kimichi is your thing. the only disappointment was the jjol myun. too many vegetables.

Only the dumplings were worth eating, and I ate only one chopstick of the kalguksu and cold noodles and had all left over.

I recently got to try this place and it’s now one of my favorite places to get Korean food in Houston. I especially enjoyed trying the spicy cold noodles which they are known for. The noodles are the perfect level of chewiness and also a good mix of spiciness and flavor. Here’s everything I tried:

Kimchi - Tasted so fresh, homemade, and authentic. Pretty spicy, and probably the best kimchi I’ve had in Houston!

Rice Cake Soup - The rice cakes were a perfect addition to this yummy soup

Mixed Spicy Wheat Noodles - Perfect noodle chewiness texture, also served with veggies and an egg

Bulgogi Bibimbap - Served in a stone bowl, so the rice is nice and crispy at the bottom ?☺️

Seafood Pancake - Was made fresh and had a nice crispy texture!

Beef Bulgogi - Had a nice sweet flavor, served with rice

The lady at the counter is so friendly and the service is very fast and friendly in general.

So happy to have found this place via a recent recommendation who raved about their dumplings & kalguksu (Korean noodles in hot soup). My wife & I ordered the 2 hot soups & dumpling combo (which offers a $4 saving) and my son ordered the galbi (Korean BBQ shortribs). The food was on point in terms of genuine Korean food taste & the portion size was pretty decent at a reasonable price in this day & age. I also enjoyed the kimchi that was served as a side dish so much that we took the leftovers in a to-go box! I would definitely like to return to try the other menu items!
