Welcome to Myung In Dumplings

“ Located within H Mart's food court, you'll find this delicious location with some of the most comforting dumplings you'll ever have. Pricing is decent. I spent about $12.5 on 2 orders of dumplings. They have no fountain drinks or canned sodas, but there is a coffee machine around the corner and of course the beverages already sold in the market. They do have water available. We ordered shrimp/pork dumplings and got our order about 7 minutes later. Yum! The sauce that comes with the dumplings really adds on to the flavor. The dumplings had a really good filling mix and were not too overly full or not too under stuffed. Great taste, will definitely be back! ”

“ Dumplings were very good and service was pretty fast. Rather depressing, outdated surroundings in the small food court inside H Mart, but the food is worth withstanding the environment. ”

“ I've eaten here two days in a row. I wish there was one near my home!! Buns are massive and awesome! ”

“ Husband was in the mood for dumplings today. Yay! so we went for a late lunch. Located in the food court of HMart, this dumpling house is nestled towards the back part of the court. There are plenty of seatings to enjoy your meal. Made to order, so it will take a little time. You can wander HMart or the cosmetic shop next door, up to you. Our order: no. 1 - wang man doo with pork and veggies - 4 pieces. the bun is so fluffy and soft. the stuffing is a tender mixture of pork and onions and vermicelli. yum! The pickles that come with the order wakes up the buns. good balance. no. 4 - shaomai dim sum - 10 pieces. I love the sauce it comes with, like a soy vinegar sauce. This dish is best eaten immediately. same filling as the buns I believe. You can reheat by re-steaming at home. Service is friendly. Enjoy! These two orders came out to 27 bucks. Not cheap so be prepared. It is worth it and it does take the labor of love to make these so keep that in mind. ”

“ I tell the middle-aged Korean dude at the counter that I want one order of #2--the Kimchi Wang Mandoo. He goes to the back, fiddles with some stuff, then comes back to the front to continue reading the paper. It took about 10 minutes, and while I was waiting I noticed that it would've been better for me to park closer to the small side door next to the Shiseido shop, not the main entrance. Will remember this next time. I rushed home with my prized bounty, eagerly anticipating some fantastic dumplings. They are indeed huge, and 2 was more than enough for me. I really should've stopped at one but they were so tasty I couldn't stop myself. Moist, fluffy bread and filling, acompanied by those addictive pickled cucumbers and radishes. I didn't think the kimchi was spicy at all, but it had a pretty good flavor. If anything, I was a tad disappointed that the flavors weren't a bit stronger, but don't get me wrong, they were very tasty. I wonder if they use MSG--I thought I detected some aftertaste, but it's not like I'm totally anti MSG or anything, just curious. I wrapped up the remaining two for later consumption--I'll have to see if they're nearly as good microwaved; will get back to you. ”

“ This restaurant was featured in Anthony Bourdain's show, Parts Unknown and that's what brought me here! Bittersweet... I was visiting Griffith Observatory yesterday but was bummed that the 4-hour traffic made it nearly impossible for me to stop in on the Olympic location because we had to make it back in time for our son's basketball game. Still thinking about dumplings; I decided to try this Garden Grove location today. The atmosphere of the place is small and unremarkable and there was only one other table there when we arrived. I call it an hidden gem in the heart of Korean Town Garden Grove because it's located inside of HMart Supermarket. I quickly wanted to order everything on the menu as I walked up to the counter but the friendliest cashier -her name is Phuong- told me to order a plate for each person to share so that I don't over order. I ordered some pan fried pork dumplings for my 8 years old daughter, some steamed pork dumplings for 12 years old daughter, and my husband ordered the ones that Anthony Bourdain tried on the show--huge king steamed buns filled with pork & vegetables! I also ordered some spicy pork & shrimp dumplings for my 14 years old son, who was hungry after the basketball game. The cashier assured me that it was enough food but I went ahead & added the spicy beef soup & shaomai dim sum style dumplings to satisfy my cravings. Phuong & I exchanged a short conversation before I got seated. She said that she will bring the food out to the table for me as it's ready. I learned from her that this location has been here for 8 years. It was actually the original location. 5 years ago the Chinese Korean man that we all see on Anthony Bourdain's show sold it to this current Korean lady & he moved to open the Olympic location. Phuong has been working here for 5 years. Although she's Vietnamese; she's very fluent in Korean. The owner leaves the shop for Phuong to overlook when the owner is not there. The pan fried pork dumplings were crispy on the outside & juicy inside. The steamed pork dumplings tasted the same but the texture were soft outside & juicy inside. The spicy pork & shrimp dumplings looks & taste like Vietnamese dumpling. They were long rolls of rice paper wrapped around a spicy pork & shrimp mix. This one is soft on the outside & hard inside. The king steamed buns were perfectly handmade & filled with a pork & vegetable mix behind the counter & sent to the kitchen to get steamed to perfection. The spicy beef noodle soup was just perfectly spicy with some clear glass noodles & lots of vegetables to help wash all the dumplings down. The shaomai dim sum dumplings are beautiful perfect Chinese inspired dumplings. It's very steaming hot coming out on an oversized dim sum tray but tastes so much better than dim sum. It's fresh, juicy & delicious! You can tell that it was never frozen. We spent $60 for 5 people & finished everything! I actually fell into a food coma after this hefty lunch. Everything was delicious and the serving size is generous. I think most people just order to go. Customers can also order frozen dumplings to take home and heat up. Everything appears to be made on the premises. If you like dumplings, you will like this place! ”

“ My family love all of their menus. The best of the best. We are not from California. I highly recommend to all. Specially who loves steam bun. ”

“ Had a craving for dumplings and stopped in real quick. Staff was nice and the food was great! Worth the wait they make them fresh ”
