MyungIn Dumplings

Birthday weekend trip up to Seattle!!! I'm posting reviews on our foodie trip up north as one of the main reasons we drive up there is for great eats!

We headed up from Camas in the AM and stopped here for Korean dumplings and fried chicken. This restaurant did not disappoint! The only thing was we were going to eat more in Chinatown so we didn't want to order too much. All the servers were really nice and made us feel welcome.

The kimchi dumplings were huge and had glass noodles inside, I ate mine quickly with no sauce and it was delicious but not too spicy. The fried chicken was super tender, we got the half order and even the breast pieces (I'm a dark meat gal) were super tender and flavorful. We will def come back here again!

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.

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.

Food is good, sometimes a little greasy, portions are huge so don't over order! Staff is always friendly and prompt. Inside is like most Korean restaurants in the area.

The food was delicious. We got to see them making fresh dumplings while we waited. The service was great .

Generous portion sizes, great service, chill vibe, and didn't feel rushed. I wanted to try different dishes and take the rest of the food home. Man, I was so stuffed and ended up taking a lot of food home too!

The dumplings are filled to the brim and are so tasty on their own and with the sauce they serve

Banchan: great amount of pickled veg, goes perfect with the fried chicken!

Fried chicken: my favorite flavor is always soy garlic, but both soy garlic and sweet/spicy were so yum! Such a good amount of chicken, very good crunch and tasty sauces

I would definitely recommend coming here to try all the dumplings and chicken!!

Great food and excellent service! I was in the area and heard there is great Korean food in Federal Way. A quick search led me here and it was a hit!

Tried the Korean style steamed dumplings with pork and kimchi, the spicy beef soup with vegetables, and the Kang Jung fried chicken. The meal came with banchan to accompany the food. The dumplings were large and packed with filling. The soup was spicy with tender shredded beef. The Kang Jung fried chicken was sweet, a bit spicy, and very crispy; this was my favorite dish.

I would definitely return when in the area!

If you enjoy light and savory Korean soup, this is one I would suggest. Had this with their Korean fried chicken and I almost levitated ;)

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.

Excellent food and friendly service. Soy and Ginger Chicken was phenomenal. Just the right amount of flavor, super crispy on outside, and perfectly cooked on inside, temperature very hot. Just delicious and I highly recommend. Shumai also was delicious. Fried dumplings were very good but did not standout compared to the chicken and shumai. Also - the kimchi and radish and small provided shredded cabbage salad were excellent. The restaurant atmosphere is that of a small family run place. But it's the food that really shines here. Definitely recommend.
