I have been wanting to try this place for a while. I finally did and all I can say is WOW. For starters, the waitress is literally the nicest person I have ever met. We ordered quite a few different plates and they were all so delicious! We had quite a bit left over and she even packaged it up for us. Also that was arguably the best kimchi I've ever had. I recommend this place 100000%!

Amazing food and even better services. We ordered a bit of everything from their menu: steamed pork buns, dumplings, soups and fried chicken. Everything was delicious but especially the spicy beef soup and spicy steamed roll pork and shrimp dumplings ?.Their banchans were phenomenal- some of the best kimchis and picked radish I’ve had!We also got some frozen dumplings to go. Highly recommend if you are in the area.

They serve the best fried chicken I have ever eaten. Please try their soy garlic fried chicken. Seriously, I’ve been dreaming of this chicken ever since my first visit. It was so fresh, perfectly crispy yet delectably juicy, and the flavor was so unique and satisfying. The banchan was plentiful and fresh. The kimchi was wonderfully spicy and the radish so flavorful. We also tried the spicy pork and shrimp dumplings. They were also very good but if I had to chose one food item it would be the garlic soy fried chicken, hands down, no questions asked. I can’t wait to return. Side note: Anthony Bourdain visited the MyungIn location in California.

This place lives up to the hype! We tried 3 different types of dumplings, two steamed, one fried. They were HUGE and so delicious. You can see the staff making them to order in the kitchen. Fantastic service. The inside is a little basic but spotless. If you want dumplings in Federal Way you have to try Myungin!

I've stopped by here twice and they've been closed. Finally got myself here to smash some grib on a day they open. Project Pat can be hard to satisfy but y'all this place keeps it trill. No suckas at MyungIn. Bring your appetite baby. 5 stars.
Where do I start other than WOW. when we came in, we were greeted with friendly waitress. We went in the afternoon which was perfect time to go because it got really pact when we left. The establishment looked brand new. As for the food, I am lost for words. We ordered three things on the menu. The fried dumpling, chicken, and the Korean style steamed dumpling which was recommended by the waitress. It is also their most popular on the menu. Our first bite on the steamed dumpling was 10 out of 10. The juiciness of the filling was spot on and I can see why it's their most popular. The fried dumpling had so much flavor. The fried chicken was cooked perfect and it was crispy. Overall, I would recommend because you can tell that they make these per order based on the quality of the food. It was the perfect meal.

The dumplings were quite large. I preferred number 3, the spicy steam roll dumplings because they were filled with meat and the flavor was really good. They definitely had a kick to them, and the sauce provided enhanced the flavor. The king dumplings were so large, i think, compared to the steam roll dumplings they were a little more bland but still good. Just probably should have eaten them before the steam roll dumplings. It was pretty quiet in the restaurant but they were really attentive and always offering more tea.

My friend suggested we grab dinner together at some other Korean restaurant in Federal Way, but later found out that the placee was not open that day. So, she made another suggestion to come to MyungIn Dumplings, which was not too far from the first place we were planning to go to originally. There is free parking where the restaurant is located. I was able to park right in front! Also, there is a restroom. Do not underestimate how big the steam dumplings are. There is a reason in the description it is referred to as a "king steam dumpling". We shared an order of the Pork & Vegetables King Steam Dumplings and Half and Half Chicken. The portions of the chicken dish we ordered was also HUGE, so after we were full, we ended up taking food leftover to go.

Rating: 3.0/5.0We came here on a Saturday, a little after 5pm. The restaurant was relatively empty, and it was concerning that the majority of the customers were non-Korean. After all, the customer base for good Chinese restaurants is overwhelmingly Chinese; the same applies for good Korean restaurants. But we wanted dumplings and fried chicken so we sat ourselves at a table near the television. We ordered two items: boiled dumpling with pork and kimchi (12 pieces) and soy sauce and garlic based fried chicken (half). The pork and kimchi dumplings were much smaller than expected and were honestly a letdown tastewise. Where was the kimchi in these dumplings?! Fortunately, the soy sauce and garlic based fried chicken was yummy. The chicken was fried well, and the batter was light and crispy. The soy garlic sauce was so good, we packed the leftover sauce to bring home. Enough said.Our dinner came with three banchan (side dishes): kimchi, pickled radish, and a shredded cabbage "salad". They were okay, but I was hoping for more (banchan is usually one of the highlights of my meal when I dine at Korean restaurants so I was a bit disappointed).To be honest, I doubt I will be a repeat customer given the pork and kimchi dumplings (a 2.0/5.0 - even frozen dumplings from the grocery store would fare better than these!), the soy garlic fried chicken (a 4.0/5.0), and the limited banchan selections here.

The best fried chicken I’ve had in WASHINGTON STATE! The soy garlic is absolute fire and mouth watering! The sweet and spicy flavor is finger licking good AND the PRICES beats ALL them Fried chicken chains. Not a single one out there got anything on these perfectly fried crisp and well-coated flavors all the way to theeee bone and juicy on the inside. My soul is happy this is very local to me. I will never get fried chicken anywhere in the vicinity except if i want it on a Monday because they’re closed lol.And the dumplings… were also delicious! We had 3 different types and they were all good. But not as memorable as that chicken seeped and savored in my soul. So much so that we came back again the same week.
