“ GREAT VALUE! Ordered the number 1 combo, which comes with #1 hot soup noodle, a #10 cold noodle, and dumplings of your choice. Split between two people, this was more than enough food. A great value at $35. My personal favorite was the hot soup - it was flavorful and the noodles were soft and chewy. The dumplings inside of the soup were delicious as well. The cold noodles were spicy, chewy, and bouncy. We ordered the shrimp and pork dumplings which were reminiscent of Chinese soup dumplings although there was not soup inside of these. Flavor was good but nothing notable. Cons: I think our batch of kimchi was subpar. It was very bitter and thus, not really enjoyable. The white pickled veggies were decent, however. The cold noodles did not come with any meat, just half of an egg for protein. Overall, a solid place with a large variety of hot and cold noodles, dumplings, and meats. I am looking forward to trying some new things on the menu, including the grilled meats. ”

“ MDK Noodles offers a casual environment with friendly service. I ordered the shrimp and pork dumplings, Kalguksu Knife Cut Noodle in Chicken Broth, and Mixed Spicy Chlorella Noodles. The portions are generous, especially if you opt for a combo, which makes it a good value. The dumplings were good, nothing particularly special. The Kalguksu was warm and comforting but unfortunately lacked depth in flavor. The Mixed Spicy Chlorella Noodles had a nice, mildly spicy, and tangy kick, but I would have preferred the usual buckwheat noodles for this dish. The only real disappointment was the kimchi, which had a bitter taste, but I'm not sure if this is the usual because a lot of my friends love the kimchi. Overall, it's a decent place to grab a quick meal. ”

“ I love this place! It's definitely one of my favorite places in Chinatown. I wish more people knew about it and came. The food is great they have a good selection but the cold noodles here are some of my favorite, especially the chlorella noodles bc they are easier to chew than the buckwheat. I didn't get a picture of the steam dumplings but they are so good and a must try. Overall all the food is always great. It is such a quick and easy thing to come try and I think the combos are a good deal. The services is always great. There's generally only one person on the floor, but they are on it. It's never crowded when I come so lots of open tables. It's a super open, bright place. It's a great place to eat alone or with groups of people. ”

“ I had been waiting to try this place for a while now and I'm so glad I did! The banchans given were pretty good, only the original kimchi was a little plastic tasting to me. The white kimchi and marinated cucumber were really good though! We ordered the kimchi pancake and fried dumplings as appetizers. The kimchi pancake had well balanced flavors and was great paired with bulgogi meat. The fried dumplings had a nice flavor and great texture, the shape was a bit weird but I would recommend. For entrees we got the bibimguksu and the bulgogi beef. The bibimguksu was perfect for a summer dinner. It was bright and refreshing and the portion was generous so we shared it and I still had leftovers! The bulgogi was so tender and not greasy! This was some of the best bulgogi meat for my preferences. Overall for the portion sizes, the price was fair! I would recommend trying this place, and I will definitely return for noodles and bulgogi! ”

“ Got bibim naengmyun and mul naegmyun for to-go. Their to go packaging is super impressive. Noodles were great. Houston's Korean food scene is so sad and lacking but MDK's presence in the city fulfils a little bit of that void. ”

“ 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. ”

“ When it's hot as Satan's balls out in Houston, you want spicy and sour cold noodles, this is the spot. We've always passed by this place wanting to try it. We got pan fried dumplings ( never had rectangular shaped dumplings lol), tteobokki and bibimksu. Their noodles and rice cake tasted hand made. I also loved their kimchi! If you really like sour, you'll like this spot. As for spice level, I would say its okay but as soon as u stop eating, u can feel the kick lol One note is that we added beef to the noodles but the beef portion felt rather small. Will want to try their other items next time! ”

“ I've been to the Koreatown location in CA and fell in love with this place. I wanted to bring my mom here since I saw they opened a location in Houston. I hoped it would be just as good. It was definitely close but not quite there yet. Upon walking in, the place is completely empty. It's a huge location so it was definitely weird to see that we were the only ones there. Later there was one solo diner that came in but that was it. We did come on a weekday lunch though. We ordered the dumpling and rice cake soup, fried dumplings, and a squid dish. The soup was good, but not as flavorful as the LA location unfortunately. However, I really liked the fried dumplings and the squid. The fried dumplings were really crispy and delicious. The squid dish was also good. It came on top of a sizzling pot and on top of a bed of rice. It is quite spicy though. The girl who serviced us was really sweet and nice as well. My mom wants to come back to try the cold noodles. However, it's not comparable to the LA location unfortunately. I wouldn't mind coming back though. ”

“ Pretty solid knife cut noodles! Plenty of space and high ceilings. + Noodle soup hits the spot! + Decent size bowl + Spicy counts towards the combo + Combo is worth it + Has white radish banchan - I arrived earlier than the gf so I was just waiting at the table, they came by several times to ask if I was going to order. ”
