    Our Dim Sum was good-really tasty good. Food came streaming out; as others have said no real rhyme or reason to what table gets their food when. Whatever is ready at the moment is served hot. Only a few tables in the front have a downtown view. To the staff's credit, they seated my party of 2 at the only table with a view that was available--didnt even have to ask. We really enjoyed our meal but we didn't get much input/interaction from staff. For us, not a problem to order on an iPad and not really have to say a word-to anyone. A waitress collected our iPad, then the drinks and food made its way to the table over the next 30 mins. We collectively ordered 6 items and finished most. 90$ tab after drinks and tip. We left full and happy. Right on MingHin!!

    Still one of the best Chinese food options around the Millennium Park area. Come in here for a good dim sum, service and ambience.

    My family and I stopped in after 8pm for some Dim Sum. There was hardly anyone there, maybe because it was a week night. This place had great reviews so we wanted to try it. They give you an iPad to place your order for the table. We ordered Shu Mai, Curried Squid, some noodles with beef and a few other Dim Sum and everything was really tasty. The service was very quick and the staff is friendly. I would recommend this place for Dim Sum.

    Beautiful ambience, excellent food, quick and efficient service by the staff. It started with complementary jasmine tea. Then they gave us iPad to add our orders. Both the drinks and and food were served within 30minutes. Loved the veg fried rice and shrimp chowmein. Lotus seed paste buns were amazing. We waited 15 minutes but it was worth it.

    My wife and I love dim sum so we were excited to see what MingHin Cuisine had to offer. I was referred here by a friend who loves their food. I can attest to their wide variety of dim sum. However, we didn't order any of their entrees so I can't attest to that. Everything we had was delicious and came out very quickly too. I saw some couples in and out of the restaurant within a half hour. I also like that they even provide complementary tea with your meal. I'd recommend this restaurant to anyone that is in the mood for some dim sum.

    MingHin Team you are all phenomenal restaurateurs! The wonderfully cooked Dim Sum and Ho Fun was amazing and the service was impeccable. We look forward to visiting again soon.

    While out in chicago. Me and fam decided on some Asian food. This place had decent reviews so we gave it a shot. It was plenty of space for indoor dining. The ordering was done via tablet. The food was brought out pretty fast. And everything was delicious. The portions was very good. The one thing I personally didn't like was the non alcoholic and non soda selection of drinks. But besides that it was all good I definently would reccomend this place .

    Found these cartilage pieces in the pot stickers and in the pork peanut dim sum. Found a hair in the egg drop soup. Me and my husband came here specifically for dim sum and could not be more disappointed. Meat was hard and dry. Nice atmosphere and the view through the window tho!

    We used to love this place, but found a cockroach under the dim sum during a recent carry out order. Ruined the meal and I’m not sure if I’ll be coming back.

    We got dim sum takeout to take back to our hotel. The quality of the items were all very good and things were packaged very well. They even included all the dipping sauces that would commonly be available in a dine in experience, which was a nice touch. The items we got were all fresh and of good quality. We would definitely order from here again and would love to try it for dine in at some point.

    In general, the food is good and fresh. Here are two dishes I want to mention: I found lots of little bone in the steam pork ribs. Another dish is fried tofu skin with vegetables in it, the veggies are canned veggies and they are sour. I thought it should be fresh veggies but they aren’t. I barely finished 5 dishes. They said it’s enough but didn’t tell me that’s too much for one person.

    Ordered a large delivery for my fiance's birthday and was not disappointed! Large portions, flavorful dishes and worth the extra few dollars compared to other places with the same dishes. Definitely want to go back to try their dim sum!

    (Translated by Google) Ming Hin, a Chinese restaurant (Dim Sum) in Lake Shore East, north of Millennium Park in Chicago. Apparently there are several stores in Chicago. The atmosphere is a little more sophisticated than the so-called Chinese town. Most of the shop assistants were Chinese, but the customer base was wide. It was a pretty popular store, so I happened to put it in on that day, but after that there were people waiting. The menu is mainly dim sum, vegetables, BBQ type (char siu and spare ribs). Since the dim sum is around $5, it can be said that it is a relatively reasonable price range. It seems that it is good to have multiple people go and have various styles. I ate about 3-4 kinds on that day and was satisfied. It also offers Qingdao beer, so it's perfect for those who want to drink Qingdao beer. (Original) シカゴのミレニアムパークの北、レイクショアイーストにある中華料理屋(点心屋)さん、Ming Hin。どうやらシカゴ内で何店舗か展開しているようだ。いわゆる町中華というよりも少し洗練された雰囲気。店員さんは中華系が多かったが、客層は幅広かった。結構な人気店で、この日はたまたまスルッと入れたが、その後はウェイティングの方もいたぐらい。 メニューは点心を中心に、野菜類、BBQ系(チャーシューやスペアリブ)など。点心はだいたい5ドル前後なので比較的リーズナブルな価格帯と言える。複数人で行って、色々取り分けるスタイルが良さそうだ。この日も3〜4種類ぐらいを食べて、満足だった。 なお、こちらでは青島ビールも提供しているので、青島ビールが飲みたくなった、という方にも最適。

    It’s hard to have a Cantonese restaurant that does every dish by standard, especially in areas like this. Plus the price is so so reasonable and many things have smaller portion size version for small parties. Please if you live in the east lakeshore area and somehow never eats in this place I implore you go give it a try.

  • 3/5 Victoria V. 2 years ago on Google
    Very friendly. Be sure to talk about any allergic reactions to certain things if you have it.

  • 2/5 Betty S. 2 years ago on Google
    Good food, unreliable hygiene. Pros: We ordered online for pick up and the food was ready pretty fast, people at the front desk were nice, the food erred on the saltier side but was still delicious and authentic. Cons: I was not fond of the hair we found as we got closer to finishing our food. The century eggs in the congee didn’t look too fresh either.

  • 5/5 Zach M. 2 years ago on Google
    Clean, comfy, surprisingly spacious dining room for it’s location. Tablet menu makes the process very easy. Udon with bbq duck was absolutely delicious and so comforting. I will definitely come back for some dim sum.

  • 5/5 Phillip W. 4 years ago on Google
    Fantastic Tasty Amazing, highly recommend

  • 5/5 Yi-Chen W. 3 years ago on Google
    Took out the food this time, and the quality was just as good as in dine-in during pre-COVID time. Highly recommend the egg yolk custard bun and egg yolk fried shrimp. The fried rice and radish cake were also both nice. Pretty good value for money!

  • 5/5 Angela P. 2 years ago on Google
    I love the dim sum here! They give you an iPad if you wanna order regular dishes and paper menu for dim sum. I love how clean this place is bc traditional cart pushing dim sum is not very covid friendly at a time like now. Their food were fresh and very affordable! Would definitely come back again

  • 5/5 Arika K. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing food! Definitely will be back and highly recommend.

  • 5/5 L K. 4 years ago on Google
    I eat here a lot since I work in the area. I love how the service is always good and they keep the spot clean all the time. Rates are fair and they serve large portions.

  • 5/5 Reyansh G. 4 years ago on Google
    They serve big dishes and for affordable rates. very welcoming employees. Never disappointing.

  • 5/5 Raptoria 7. 2 years ago on Google
    Every place this dimsum chef has worked at is an instant sensation. There used to be a Grandee Cuisine one block south that wasn’t that great and then one day BoOM the most amazing dimsum. Their signature is the egg filled custard baked bao. Only the top dimsum chefs can make it. When Grandee closed down suddenly this MingHin went from meh to AMaZinG. So glad I went back to try it again. This is my new hotspot.

  • 4/5 Amanda H. 2 years ago on Google
    Favorite dim sum restaurant in Chicago. Everything is consistently good— I liked their siu mai particularly. Prices are fair and lots of seating available

  • 4/5 Ivan L. 1 year ago on Google
    Was craving some authentic Chinese food after a week in Chicago, and Ming Hin really hit the spot! A friend recommended it, and said that Ming Hin is her go-to in Chicago every time for good Chinese food. I ordered a few dim sum dishes, and they were all good. The portions were generous, and the ingredients tasted fresh, especially the shrimp. Four dim sum dishes and 2 beers worked out to $40, which is very reasonable for quality dim sum in downtown Chicago. I'll definitely eat at Ming Hin again the next time I'm in Chicago.

  • 4/5 Lu Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Decent Chinese food, but not the best. I’ve dined in and gotten takeout multiple times here as it’s the go to Chinese place in Lakeshore East. Dim sum: Pretty mediocre, but the best you will get if you don’t go to Chinatown / Bridgeport Dishes: A bit above average, but doesn’t blow you away. It gets the job done, though, when you are craving Chinese Ambience: it’s very open and very clean Service: pretty efficient. Takeout is also always on time

  • 1/5 Hannah H. 1 year ago on Google
    Do not get the expensive ribeye with mushroom, tastes like literally nothing. Beef is hard, the waiters do not pay attention to you. No one came over when I wanted some salt and pepper to try and season the tasteless beef.

  • 4/5 Maria D. 8 months ago on Google
    Family style presentation of our orders made for a fun dining experience. Nice variety of food choices and fast service. We didn't order anything unusual. It was all very good. Barbecued pork fried rice, marinated jellyfish, pot stickers,

  • 4/5 J K. 11 months ago on Google
    Pretty authentic Chinese food, visited twice. Ordering with the ipad has always been very smooth. Orders came out quick. Duck and fried noodles were especially delicious. Lychee Mango drink was delicious too. A little bit pricey, but is somewhat fair given it is near the tourist attraction area. Would still visit again!

  • 5/5 Tyler B. 11 months ago on Google
    Great dim sum offerings with delicious main dishes as well. We came here for lunch after a morning at the Art Institute and were seated immediately. The dishes were easy to order and came out pretty quickly. The siu mai and bao were our favorite dishes. We also ordered some fried tofu and bok choy for the table, which were very tasty. Highly recommend for a decent dim sum experience while downtown.

    Great atmosphere and design! :D The food is wonderful and the prices are reasonable too! 5/5 would come here again ^-^

  • 5/5 E 5 months ago on Google
    Great food and location. Ordering must be completed on iPad/tablet provided by waitstaff. Because of this, the service is a little lackluster. However, food more than makes up for this and prices are unbeatable.

    I came here for dinner one night while in Chicago. I was with a party of four and we decided to walk here from our hotel and enjoy the evening air. After quite a few twists and turns, staircases and a few elevators we arrived at the restaurant which is tucked away in a small alcove between buildings. I'm an explorer, so the roundabout way of getting there was right up my alley. Looking at the restaurant from the entrance it almost looked like it was closed at first. Upon walking in, there was a bar and some seating available in a small dining area. It seemed so empty and I wondered if it was closing soon, as it looked so neat and quiet with no staff to be seen other than one person behind the bar. I was in for another twist and turn as the person behind the bar greeted us and took us around a corner into a dining area that was packed with people and very vibrant. I caught a glimpse of the skyline through some windows across the dining room. Unfortunately, we were seated on the opposite end of the restaurant. We were brought complimentary tea, which was really good. Instead of a hard copy menu, we were brought a tablet to order off of a digital menu. It's an interesting concept but between multiple people trying to order off of one tablet, it felt a bit cumbersome. Unfortunately, the party I was with, was not in the mood for dim sum or a family style dinner, so we ordered separate plates. We did order some egg rolls for the table which came out quickly and tasted freshly made. I opted for the Beef Brisket with Eggplant and an Avocado Smoothie. The Avocado Smoothie had a good flavor and was not too thick or too runny. It wasn't overly sweet either. The Beef Brisket with Eggplant was also good. The brisket was tender and the eggplant was juicy. The sauce was thick and had a strong but good flavor. It was a large portion, so it was a challenge to finish by myself. After the main meal, we ordered some Baked Creamy Egg Yolk Buns, which were delicious. The service is very minimalist which is not an issue. The waitstaff did not come to the table very often unless called over. The food was good, service quick and the ambiance was vibrant and family friendly. When I'm in Chicago again I'll have to stop by again and sample their dim sum menu.

    This was my 2nd experience here. First time trying Dim Sum. The prices were absolutely amazing and you can really taste a lot with the portion sizes. Add in the Happy Hour discount and you feel like you are robbing them. Simple and direct service - the pork belly was absolutely amazing

  • 3/5 Meghana Y. 4 months ago on Google
    The food was decent but I would appreciate it if they get appetizers first and give some time for the main course. All the items I ordered were on the table and they were getting cold. The wait time is usually 40 minutes without reservation.

  • 4/5 Ann K. 3 years ago on Google
    Overall, it was a good experience. The orange chicken wasn’t too good, but the beef and broccoli was delicious.

  • 5/5 N N. 3 years ago on Google
    One of my fav places for chinese food. This place has a good feel to it.

  • 5/5 B W. 3 years ago on Google
    One of my preferred places for Chinese food. Got there about two, it was not packed. I had a cousin come into town and she asked me to go back here. The place has an awesome atmosphere. Menu is similar to a restaurant in Jacksonville I loved.

  • 5/5 Ann M. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent ambience, service and food

  • 5/5 Michael S. 3 years ago on Google
    Wonderful food. Really cool restaurant and nice staff. Would definitely go back again.

  • 1/5 s l. 3 years ago on Google
    We ordered dim sum and lobster but the food not just tasted bad but also not fresh, especially the lobster. We ended up having food poisoning and sick for few days. Spent $100 for illness, never again!

  • 1/5 Aaron K. 3 years ago on Google
    They just told me they won’t take any orders when it’s 5:45 pm and they shut down at 9:00 pm. They said the kitchen can’t handle orders for the evening and to forget about calling later.

  • 1/5 Maureen D. 3 years ago on Google
    Terrible service! They lie about what they are delivering and then offer 5 dollars of their 40 dollar mistake.

  • 5/5 Jeanne L. 3 years ago on Google
    My friends recommend us to try Minghin. We ordered dim sum for our New Year's Day. The food they served is all tasty and affordably priced. Everything is worth from this place. It's a highly recommend restaurant. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Sarah G. 3 years ago on Google
    One of our favorite restaurants near our home. We were happy when they opened this location near our home

  • 5/5 Katrina G. 3 years ago on Google
    chinese food and service at this location is great. Service is always excellent even when they have a full house. The bill was reasonable I would say. Food is like a restaurant in Louisville I loved.

  • 4/5 Jake D. 4 years ago on Google
    We got 6 items off the Dim Sum menu, and I had a great time! It’s a wonderful way to try out many different authentic dishes! One item not shown is a type of sugar puff. They’re so good! A perfect amount of sweet in the bread without being too sugary like a Hostess product.

  • 4/5 Marilyn C. 3 years ago on Google
    Been here ever since the beginning. I've seen no lines to ridiculous lines over the past few short years. It is no surprise. Food is straight up LEGIT. If you like hearty Korean food, this is the place.

  • 5/5 jaime l. 3 years ago on Google
    possibly the best shrimp dumpling in Chicago. The combination of dim sum and orange chicken is the best if you haven’t tried. They offer very nice take-out option during the pandemic. The staff is very friendly and polite. Soooooooo good. Will try their dine-in service once they are open.

  • 5/5 Raven J. 3 years ago on Google
    Awesome outside seating for social distanced dining. Great quality and reasonable price. Recommend “baked creamy egg yolk bun” and 干炒牛河 (dry fried beef noodles?). Would come here for brunch again!

  • 5/5 Jennifer H. 3 years ago on Google
    Delicious Chinese food! So grateful they have a downtown location. I tried the orange chicken and beef lo mein. Both flavorful and not too oily. Great spot for takeout that holds up well on transport.

  • 5/5 travis a. 3 years ago on Google
    Been here many times in the last few years and thought they deserve a review. This is an awesome place, decent prices and very good dim sum. Everything we've tasted was always fresh, though we've focused on dim sum and not plated dishes. If you want to grab a quick dim sum lunch / dinner, definitely recommend this place!

  • 4/5 Devi C. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice asian cuisine

  • 5/5 Greg D. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent food. You will not be disappointed. They also have a location in Chinatown. If you can't make it to China-Town, you come here. In the heart of the City.

  • 4/5 Zee D. 3 years ago on Google
    Delicious dimsum

  • 5/5 Carly M. 3 years ago on Google
    chinese food at this place - excellent. very savory. really nothing but enjoyable experiences here, i'll be back. prices that won't break you.

  • 5/5 Max M. 3 years ago on Google
    Great restaurant. The peking duck is a must have. I also highly recommend the egg yolk buns. It might seem odd at first, but they're amazing. The whole point of coming here is to order off the dim sum menu and order way too much food so that you're uncomfortably full by the end, so come hungry.

  • 5/5 jay p. 3 years ago on Google
    Best Chinese anywhere

  • 5/5 Farhana Ikmal H. 3 years ago on Google
    Great dim sum. Their salted egg buns are super good.

  • 5/5 David P. 3 years ago on Google
    Dine in, takeout, or delivery- MingHin never disappoints.

  • 5/5 Joe C. 3 years ago on Google
    Usually when you order for delivery, its a different experience than sitting in the restaurants. But our food arrived hot, fresh and very flavorful. Really liked the pot stickers, Mongolian Beef, Beef with Chinese Broccoli and Egg Rolls. All were a few levels better than we experienced at most places. And we might start trying different items, because we were so impressed with what they did with dishes we are familiar with. For example, I always order Mongolian Beef, but mild, not spicy. Forgot to do that this time, only realizing when it arrived. Usually I have to hunt down the hot peppers, but only a hint of spiciness and I was enjoying the taste . And always hate the onions, push those off the side, but tried the ones on this, and they were sweet and flavored. Very surprised, and my wife noticed the difference in flavor too. So I think we'll be ordering from MingHin from now on.

  • 5/5 Aisha W. 4 years ago on Google
    One of our favorite spots when we need a break from cooking! We've been going here for years, and their quick and fast delivery during this time was greatly appreciated.

  • 5/5 Jordan H. 3 years ago on Google
    In town for our anniversary and decided to have Chinese food. Found this little gem on Trip Advisor and fell in love. My friend had fried rice and I had sesame chicken. Both were awesome. My friend decided he wanted a lemon drop martini and I was thinking this is not the place to get a good drink but I couldn’t have been more wrong. These were the best drinks we had while we were in Chicago. And the least expensive. $8 for a martini. So try this place out. Great food and great drinks.

  • 2/5 Elvis K. 4 years ago on Google
    This place is very much “whatever”. Reason they got 2 stars instead of 3 is because the management used phots from another location in place of this one to improve the ambiance in their reviews.
