At Myeongdong Restaurant in North Strathfield, you're immediately enveloped in a casual and welcoming environment, setting the scene for a genuine Korean culinary journey. Despite the bustle, the service manages to be notably swift, ensuring that your experience is as efficient as it is enjoyable. The range of side dishes, known as banchan, are a testament to the authentic Korean dining experience offered here. These small, shared plates are an essential element of the meal, inviting diners to sample a diverse palette of tastes and textures. In terms of the main dishes, the kitchen showcases its prowess. The seafood pancake boasts a delightful contrast between its crisp edges and the soft seafood within. The beef rib soup is a rich, aromatic bowl of comfort, signaling hours of careful preparation. Vegetarian deep-fried dumplings emerge as a crowd-pleaser, their crunchy exteriors revealing a flavorful and satisfying interior that caters to various dietary preferences. There was, however, a slight misstep with the pan-fried chicken, where one thicker piece was not fully cooked through. This was an isolated incident in an otherwise flawless presentation of dishes. Be prepared for the likelihood of queues, a testament to the restaurant's popularity. But take heart; the line moves steadily, a sign of the restaurant's commitment to good service. Myeongdong Restaurant remains a must-visit spot in North Strathfield for anyone eager to dive into the depths of Korean cuisine, with its bountiful banchan and robust main courses that promise a meal both heartening and authentically Korean.

What a feast! Korean food is just wonderful. There are some negative, one star reviews on here, please ignore those. The service is friendly, the wait times are reasonable and the food arrives in a timely manner. The days of a price for white devils and a price for Koreans are long gone. We were lucky enough to share a similar feast in downtown Seoul, and the food at Myeongdong was just as good. Certainly the Banchan (side dishes) were numerous and tasty. From the cubes of acorn jelly to the kimchi to the mushed up tofu to the mountain greens Korean cuisine is ingenious for the way it uses left overs. The TtEok beoki was delicious, although the addition of gyoza (fried dumplings) felt a little out of place. The seafood pancake delectable and the croquettes delicious, although I don't know you can go too far wrong with deep frying mashed potato and seafood. We had the fried chicken (more fried stuff, I know, right!) soy flavoured and delicious, but I'll try the snow cheese next time. We ate a lot, but I doubt you'd come away from this restaurant feeling hungry. Cass beer (Korean, of course) and Raspberry Rice Wine were a real treat. Coveted the clay dishes and hoped they were for sale, but sadly they weren't. Probably not a great idea for a restaurant to sell its limited number of plates, especially when they need so many per group. Hard to fault this restaurant --- perhaps a bit more Korean paraphernalia on the walls? King Sejong's Hunmin Jeong-eum, for example. Loved the theatrical masks.

Is a Friday night that we decided to have some hot food and drinks but not western not Chinese, so we do Korean! Environment 4/5 It’s a Friday night and it’s inevitable to see the long queue. But is not too bad, we queue for about 20 minutes for our turn. It is quite cramped with the crowd and tables are very close to each other as well Service 4/5 Took quite a while for someone to reach us to place order. But the service to serve us food is fantastic, fast enough that we couldn’t finish our dishes and we have to stack up the plates 😂 Appetiser dishes 4/5 If this is your first time eating Korean, they provide small plates of appetisers that’s all you can eat. But don’t eat too much! Or you can’t fit the main dishes later. One of the Korean restaurants with the most varieties I have came across. Taste good as well. But din get my anchovies 🥹 Stir fried potato noodle 5/5 Surprisingly good, however the portion of the noodle is quite little but lots of meats and vege and seafood. Crispy boneless chicken 5/5 Nothing else to say, too good to feedback. Must order Army stew 4/5 Humongous! We couldn’t finish but it is flavourful and lots of meat and vegetable inside. We finished the noodle. But will be better with more cheese Will I come back again? 4/5 I will come back again for sure, but will bring more friends so that we can try more dishes! There’s many more on the menu I would like to try.

DO NOT ORDER THE SEAFOOD PANCAKE! Went on a busy Friday night and noticed the standard of food has dropped significantly. This used to be our favourite restaurant to visit weekly but we will avoid this place from now on. Ordered the seafood pancake ($28) and the pancake arrived pale, soggy and undercooked. When I told the staff we had ordered this dish plenty of times and its never been this undercooked, they apologized and brought the dish away. Another staff member came over shortly to tell us because the pancake had been cut, they can't cook it any longer. She also said it was our fault for not stating we wanted the pancake 'crispy' when we ordered it. I insisted on a replacement and she went away looking rather annoyed. **I really regret not taking a photo of this* 1 minute later, we were served with a pancake that looked more normal, but the underside was burnt and there was barely any seafood in it. It wasn't crispy and still soggy but at least it wasn't undercooked. (Refer to photo) Clearly they were overwhelmed in the kitchen and can't be bothered to cook food to a proper standard. We were too tired to argue after a long day and paid $28 for a partially burnt veggie pancake. If you choose to dine here, hopefully you catch the chefs and wait staff on a good day.

Visiting on a weekend means braving the long lines, but it's totally worth it. As soon as we sat down and ordered, the server promptly brought out their famous 12 side dishes, which are not small at all. No matter if you're dining solo or with a group, and regardless of whether you order just a soup or a full spread, everyone gets the 12 plates—no exceptions. (Actually there is one exception that is when you're ordering takeout, you only get 10 side dishes )It reminded me of a BBQ place in California that also spoiled us with endless side dishes. The servers here are impressively organized and super quick. Blink, and your food is in front of you, as if they already knew exactly what you were going to order. The side dishes are a delight—lots of variety and all delicious. If you love Korean side dishes like I do, you have to check this place out. I always order their #1 rib soup. The bones are plentiful, almost overflowing, and they’re cooked just right—flavorful but not too soft. Their fish roe soup and beef bone soup are also packed with ingredients, almost like they’re giving it away for free. You can tell the owner is generous and aims to satisfy with large portions. This is one of my favorite spots. I hope the owner’s business continues to thrive for years to come!

Came here for the second time and had a horrible dining experience this time around. Ordered a Bibimbap and tonkatsu - halfway through eating the Bibimbap my boyfriend noticed something weird in his mouth. We thought it was a piece of rolled paper but realised it was a cigarette butt. He has the taste of ash in his mouth and we were so shocked that this rubbish could ‘accidentally’ get in the food. We called a member of the staff and she said she would talk to the manager. She came back 10 minutes later by herself and said sorry and we didn’t need to pay for it. At that point we had already lost our appetite and did not trust their kitchen staff cleanliness standards and decided to leave. I went to pay the bill and they said sorry again and didn’t charge us for anything, but we din’t finish eating half of what we ordered anyway. We are so disappointed that they didn’t have the manager or chef come out and say sorry to us and left the half assed apologies to a part-time staff. We didn’t get any explanation why it happened and owed it to us for sure. I worked in hospitality for over eight years and never in my life have I seen a piece of garbage that should not be anywhere near food to be served to customers ‘accidentally’ get into food?!? This is shockingly disgusting.
