About Ming Dynasty

Ming Dynasty is a restaurant known for its delicious food and welcoming staff. Customers are greeted by friendly staff in a relaxing atmosphere, sometimes with the added bonus of watching sports games while waiting for their order. The menu offers tasty dishes with good portion sizes for the price. The dim sum is especially popular, making it a go-to place for a Sunday morning feast. The service crew is polite, and the dim sum choices are numerous. Customers have praised the siu mai for being huge and super tasty, and the buns, particularly the baked ones, as very good. The honey walnut shrimp is tender, though the mayonnaise flavor is strong. The overall food quality is quite good, and the restaurant provides authentic Chinese dim sum. Some guests note that the ambient noise can be loud, adding a lively atmosphere sometimes with sports watching. The staff is generally helpful and friendly, contributing to a good dining experience.

In recent visits, diners appreciated the helpful wait staff, who recommended various dishes. They tried a large rock cod from the fish tank, which was prepared in four different ways: a mild fish bone soup needing white pepper, a stir fry with bones, tofu, and bok choy, a salt and spicy fish fillet with jalapenos, and stir-fried fish fillets with onions and sweet pea pods in garlic sauce. While some found picking through bones necessary, others enjoyed the flavors. The stir-fried pig intestines were also praised for their salty sour taste and tender texture. A vegetarian dish called jai, made with fungus, bamboo shoots, noodles, water chestnuts, and onions, was very good. They finished with white rice and two dim sum dishes: deep-fried shrimp balls and chive steamed rolled noodles, which added to the meal’s enjoyment. Overall, the dishes offered a variety of flavors and textures, complementing the authentic dim sum experience.

Ming Dynasty remains a great place for Dim Sum, offering fresh and hot dishes straight from the kitchen. Carts are pushed around from table to table, providing a wide selection. Customers find the prices unbeatable, and the service quick and friendly. Whether dining in or taking out, the restaurant consistently delivers quality food, and many enjoy the lively atmosphere, sometimes watching sports while waiting. The staff is helpful and attentive, making every visit a pleasant experience.
