Highly recommend MingHin Cuisine in Chinatown! Their dim sum menu has a wide variety and everything was very tasty. Service was fast and efficient for a busy time of day. Our favorites were the xiaolongbao and siumai!

One of Chicago’s best spots for authentic Cantonese dim sum and classic Chinese dishes. Opens early with dim sum brunch served until afternoon. Dishes come hot, fresh, and in huge portions—two plates often enough for three people.

loved that you get a small portion but it's all shareable to see if it is something you may like or not. Me and my girl got several items to try, since it was my first time there, and the variety of taste and option for the steak, chicken a...

5★ · 2026-04-12
Food was awesome. I thought it was expensive for what I ordered until they brought out my food. Definitely worth it. One regular order of egg foo young was enough to feed 3 people.

The egg too young was expensive and horrible. It was not made with eggs. If I could give it a zero I would. It was a carry out. If I was dinning it I would have sent it back. I will not e er try this place again. I threw the patties away.

I used to truly love this place and would come here fairly often. Unfortunately, I ate here recently and got very sick after eating the shrimp dumplings (others in my group who didn’t eat them were fine). Not sure if it was a preparation issue or the product itself, but thought I should share this💔...
