Myungin Dumplings — Restaurant in Buena Park

This was the worst dining experience I have ever had. I came in and the employees were sitting at the table, chewing with their mouths open. Then the food was terrible. Overcooked and bland. Finally, I go to check out and their cash register was down. They could only accept cash, which I did not have. I was in a hurry and told them I could wait about 5 minutes. Time passes, and I have to go. I gave them extra time and told them I would just come back later to pay. They then told me that the register was now working. We go to check out and, surprise, it doesn't work. I'm already running late, so I ask for my card back and tell them I'll come back later. The cashier takes my card and, without a word, leaves the building with it. I follow her out, completely confused, and I see her go into the shop next door. She's trying to charge me there. Okay, fine. But the woman working at this new place doesn't want to charge me. I'm now running 15 minutes late. I take my card and say I'll come back later, again. As I'm walking past the restaurant, the employee tells me, again, that the register is working. I ask her if it really is. She says yes. She lied. I give her my card and she, again, runs to another store. I tell her to stop and give me my card. She refused. I reached for it and she started to play keep away with my card. I'm losing my patience at this point and tell her, again, I will come back later. She says I need to give her my driver's license. I tell her that I have to drive and cannot do that. There's 5 more minutes of her refusing to give me my card and, finally, they figure out a way to charge me. This was easily the worst I have ever been treated at a restaurant. They kept me 30 minutes past my meal being completed and made me late for my appointment. The food here is bland and the workers are rude. Avoid this place...

I have an insatiable love for traditional Korean dumplings (만두). In Orange County, there's a place that specializes in dumplings, and it has become one of my favorite spots. That’s 명인만두집. While they also serve chicken, I haven't tried it yet because I can't resist their dumplings. During my recent visit, I ordered three different types of dumplings: King steam dumplings with pork and veggies (왕만두), spicy steam roll dumplings with pork and shrimp (매운새우만두), and Korean style steam pork and veggie dumplings (한국식 왕만두). Each one was delicious in its own way, and I enjoyed them all. Spicy steam roll dumplings were little spicy for me but soon I was addicted to it. It paired excellent with Korean beer. My sister especially loved the Korean style steam pork and veggie dumplings (한국식 왕만두), as they reminded her of the dumplings our grandmother and mother used to make back in Korea. It brought back cherished memories of our past. Next time I visit, I plan to try even more varieties of dumplings they offer, as I am determined to sample all the different kinds they make. This place has truly become a delightful destination for a dumpling...

The signage on the door where the store hours are were BLANK. I entered the restaurant because the door was open AND the "open" sign was ON. When I walked in the lady server or manager gave me an attitude and voice and just said the korean equivalent of "What do you want" in a rude tone. When I replied "Oh I wanted to sit down and eat" she annoyedly grumbled "we're not open". I just want to point out that as a first time customer entering a restaurant with the OPEN sign on and the door OPEN, it was RIDICULOUS to be met with such a terrible attitude. I don't know if she thought I was a pleasant morning doormat or something, but her attitude was terrible enough for me to write a review about it. Never coming here, never recommending, and also actually WRITE THE HOURS OF YOUR RESTAURANT, don't turn on the OPEN sign when you're not open, and maybe don't treat new customers with such a crass attitude.

edit: if you look at other low star reviews you will see that this is a REPEAT problem of terrible customer service...
