I was told this is the ONLY place in ABQ that brings out the carts for dim sum. If this is incorrect, please message me! I. Miss. DIM SUM! We would get Dim Sum in Flushing, NY and I have nothing but great memories from it. So! When I found out this spot brings out the carts for Dim Sum - I ran over! We went for Saturday brunch and it was empty. I ordered for the table. The chicken feet really stood out to me and were delicious. I will say...they advertise it is homemade...but I'm not too sure. The soup dumplings definitely had a precooked frozen packaged texture / flavor - similar the ones you can get from the grocery store. BUT! Overall: we had a fantastic experience. The family was very friendly. I think they were surprised how much I ordered. I was excited and happy. And yes, we finished it all lol If you've never had Dim Sum then you MUST come here for the experience alone. They bring out the carts and you pick what you'd like. This is a great way to spend BRUNCH with a large group. Forget the American brunch and try the Chinese one! It's a new experience and will be fun. read more

I give it a 4 stars for dimsum in ABQ, but probably 3 stars in larger cities. What I liked about it was...this was one of the traditional places where they pushed dimsum carts for you to pick what you liked (albeit smaller selection of food...since dimsum isn't so popular in ABQ). The food tasted ok..but I appreciated the kindness of the staff and their service mindedness. I really wished they had more selection of food though. For example, I was hoping their would have fried taro paste in birds nest (ok..I know..this one is really chinese), or even custard buns (this one..I was surprised they didn't have), or..even chicken feet (ok..I don't eat these anyways but hey..it's a testament to what dimsum place would look like). But otherwise, if you arelooking to take someone to try dimsum and aren't so put off by the ambience (the place is quite unassuming..but was fine to me), this id probably a more authentic dimsum place in ABQ to me (granted the sign on the street was a Lil too much of an acclamation of NM's state of dimsum)! read more

Came by with a large group for dimsum on a Saturday shortly after they opened. Plenty of seating and the service is amazing. We kept getting checked in on, making sure we were getting all the food we were interested in. On to the dimsum, it's probably some of the better dimsum I've had in ABQ. Shumai and hargao are pretty good, and the buns are fluffy and a great comfort. Would recommend coming by if you're craving some dimsum in ABQ! read more

I either get Dim Sum or Won Ton soup when I visit. The food is always excellent and consistent. Best Dim Sum in town. Great BBQ pork in the soup. I always get outstanding service--very courteous and fast. I highly recommend Ming Dynasty. read more

Ming Dynasty - Mixed Won Ton Soup without egg noodles. Wonderful! - Dim Sum Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Our last (most recent) trip into the city had me craving Chinese food. In the list, I saw that Ming Dynasty served Dim Sum (steamed rolls) and something that I had never tasted before. The really helpful and patient server helped me choose the BBQ pork option. We received three large buns and they tasted so sweet and delicious that I highly recommend them. For dinner, he recommended the orange chicken, and hubby and I really enjoyed it. I took home leftovers to enjoy that night but I really appreciate the value received for the price. Ambiance wise, we couldn't stop staring at the detailed intricate ceiling tiles and potential use of the large dining room which was only partially in use when we arrived. read more

Mr Ming, always takes good care of us! We've eaten at a few other Chinese cuisine restaurants in the Albuquerque area, but always return to Ming Dynasty for the superior service & selection. Definitely our favorite for Chinese-Asian dining. And for those who may so choose, in addition hot teas, they offer specials on some imported beers as well. read more

Food is bad. No flavor at all. Not worth the price at all Don't waste your money. Try prioritizing the flavor in your food instead of making the menu so big. read more

Ming Dynasty - Dim Sum Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

We ordered takeout and were very happy with how they packaged the food--very secure and well wrapped. Not a bit of it leaked. The food was hot, and the portions were generous. My dish was marked spicy, and it definitely was. I've acclimated to spicy foods since moving to New Mexico, and this was at my upper limit (still enjoyable). They will adjust it to order, so keep that in mind if you're sensitive. We want to try the dim sum next and intend to dine-in. The place looked clean and spacious, and takeout service was polite, prompt, and accurate, so we expect dine-in to be a good experience. read more

Today's meal was delicious! The food was fresh and quite healthy. We had dim sum shrimp har gow dumplings and shrimp wonton soup with extra bok choy and broccoli, no msg. So good!!!! read more

The food took a very long time, and wasn't great. I had a few different items from the dim sum menu and my fiancé got orange chicken. The consistency of near all of it was "off", and it was extremely bland. But the service was not bad, and it had been a long day for them (this was. Christmas Day), so I imagine folks in the kitchen were tired. I had been excited to try this place but it was pretty underwhelming. Would have given two stars but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt due to the crazy busy day they must've had. Still, I doubt I will go back. The food just wasn't good enough to give them another try. read more

Ming Dynasty - Coconut shrimp, shrimp and leek bun, sesame bun - Dim Sum Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

When we are next back, we will be returning to this restaurant for sure!!! The owner is his fantastic; he is sweet and kind, and truly cares about the satisfaction of his customers. One of our party ordered a dish similar to Mongolian beef and the clarity of the ginger and garlic flavors were amazing! Everyone on the table kept stealing bites lol. The dim sum was amazing. I am a dim sum fanatic and have eaten it all over the world. While nothing earth shattering, it was traditional dim sum, cooked well, seasoned to perfection, and the chili crisp on that table was out of this world. read more

Came in to try the Dim Sum with my husband for a little date without the kids. It was SO GOOD! I love that it is an actual Dim Sum restaurant with the price structure to actually be able to try a plethora of dishes. I really loved the ginger beef dumplings and the chinese broccoli. My husband's favorite was the spear ribs and the shrimp shumai. We WILL DEFINITELY be back. Also it has that small family business feel that I love. Casual for any occasion and the staff were very nice. read more

So this is a more authentic dimsum restaurant. They have the dimsum cart at lunch. Ambience is not their highlight. But it's inexpensive and tasty. read more

Great! I started off my meal with Vietnamese coffee. It was iced and really delicious. My partner got the Roy Rogers drink. We were seated right away and given plates for appetizers. We started our food with pork and shrimp and scallop dim sun. It was really good to pair with their in house chile oil. The Chile oil was one of my favorite part of the entire meal. I got the Pepper Steak combination plate and would highly recommend it. The service was quick and kind. The environment was clean. The food came out in appropriate and quick timing. read more

Ming Dynasty - Bbq Pork Bun - Dim Sum Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I love dimsum. Grew up eating them from a young age, as my mom is Chinese and also liked it. Definitely not the best dimsum I've ever had, but pretty good for Albuquerque. It's always fun to share it with multiple people so you can try many different items. The service was great as we had a few carts come around to us. Not a fancy place but a cozy hole-in-the-wall dimsum place. read more

It's pretty sad the yelpers here are giving this place a 4 or 5 star rating and boasting about how they visited Hong Kong and lived in a large city( did you mean you had a layover in the airport?)when they can't even tell Ming dynasty's majority of the "dimsum" came from the local Asian grocery store frozen foods section. Food has always been gross for the last 35 years, place is filthy and under perform. read more

I was nervous because it was lunchtime and the place was huge, and empty. I almost left. I'm glad I didn't. It was delicious! We ordered a lot of different items to try and every one of them was good. Also reasonably priced. I plan on being a regular customer. read more

I had a longtime friend in for Balloon Fiesta and tried Ming Dynasty for the first time since moving here 2 years ago. We had Dim Sum and everything was delicious. Nice clean surroundings, spotless serving vessals. They did forget to bring my order of steamed broccoli, but we didn't miss it! We were not charged. Note - my guest has lived all over the world, including Asia, and agreed it was a very good meal at a reasonable price! read more

My favorite Chinese Food in Albuquerque - for over 20 years!Ming is one of the hardest working people I know, and his family works with him to provide outstanding and authentic Chinese food. Sure, you can get the Americanized sweet Chinese food like Sweet and Sour Pork, Sesame Chicken, Chop Suey, etc. - and he does those well, but when you want a more authentic experience, he hits it out of the park. Especially with his DIm Sum. Weekends an Ming Dynasty are the best with fresh Dim Sum delivered on carts and a wheeled steam table. read more

Dim Sum is hard to find in this corner of the country. Having lived in the Bay Area for a bit, visited Hong Kong a few times, and spent a decent time of my life in a larger city (Chicago), I have experience a somewhat wider spectrum of Dim Sum. Our family reside in Santa Fe and decided to explore Dim Sum on a day trip to ABQ. Based on pictures, we opted for Ming Dynasty over IT Dimsum. Literally the only legit options, it seemed. Ambiance - Great. Not fancy. But a spot to enjoy a meal. Love having a Dim Sum cart come to the table. It reminded me of the first time I tried Dim Sum in SF. My wife had never experienced this. Service - Very attentive, authentic, and fast. Nailed it. Food - Spectrum, but good to very good overall. I've never seen our 1 year old consume food like he did the chicken/sausage sticky rice. Price - Very reasonable. $60 before tip and that included a beer and leftovers to take home (2 adults, 2 children). If this was based on ABQ alone, it'd be 5 stars. In terms of where it falls on my Dim Sum spectrum, it's a solid 4. Definitely recommend. read more

Well a year has passed and I revisit this dim sum place in Albuquerque. Sadly, our experience were not as positive as it was a year before. We ordered the same items and I want to say it sucked ballz. The shumai tasted like it was about to go bad. Yea that funky weird taste. The egg yolk bread clearly microwaved and the shrimp har how was gross and slimy. They also gipped me of a bbq pork bun that they charged but did not put in my order bag. Ugh. They did this last time too but the second time? Lame. I am so sad because I was looking forward to this. I will go home with a sad face. read more

We 3 went to ming's dynasty on christmas eve. We were the first customers of the day. We have been here several times. We had fresh(verrrrry!!!) dim sum, white rice, 2 kinds of soup(hot and sour and egg drop). I had a glass of plum wine and tea. The food and service were excellent. Quite a few customers arrived after us. We highly recommend ming dynasty. P.s. On saturdays and sundays, from 11:00 to 1:30 the fresh dim sum is offered at your table on carts. read more

Quality and variety in the regular menu and the dim sum. My favorite place group celebrations.

Friendly service, Full menu and dim sum menu as well descriptive. Restroom was clean and well lit. Went close to closing time, they closed at 8:30pm. Food was very tasteful and filling. Good serving amounts. Price was right for portion sizes. read more

I was originally really excited to come here because I didn't expect Albuquerque to have push cart dim sum. Unfortunately, I shouldn't have expected so much out of Albuquerque. Went for Dim Sum with a few friends not too familiar with Dim Sum. They seemed to enjoy it. I did not. Half of the beef and pork dishes (especially the siu mai) tasted funky, either a rotten or frozen taste. The beef tripe was ok, but that's it. I tried to chat up the ladies pushing the carts and they just seemed dismissive and rude. They weren't trying to sell anything on their cart at all and it was obvious most of the food had been sitting on the cart for at least 45 minutes if not a few hours. The reason that push carts dim sum works in most settings is because there is high turn over. In a good dim sum restaurants, the items on the push carts don't stay for more than 15 minutes, maybe 20 minutes. Dim Sum isn't popular enough in Albuqeruque to justify push cart Dim Sum in my opinion. read more

Some items are good, such as the pork buns. Some are bad, such as the siu mai and har gow. They both lacked flavor, and just seemed a bit off. Some are ok, like the chicken feet. Very friendly and good service. No complaints there. The restroom was also super clean. Overall ok dim sum. Wouldn't recommend if you live in an area with good dim sum, and are only visiting ABQ. If you live there though, it's worth a shot. read more

I hadn't eaten Dim Sum in almost 10 years, so this was a fun random outing with my sisters. My youngest sister had never had anything like it before, so it was fun for her to try new things. One of the women we made a little upset because we didn't know what was on her cart and she just said, here you like, gave us something (I believe it was steamed pork buns) and then avoided our table. One of them men there was very friendly and was able to explain it to my sister's easily and the best way to order and know what you are getting from the carts. It is a lot of fun to try and authentic. I enjoyed having some non-Americanized food. read more

Ming Dynasty - Dim Sum Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

There are only two dumpling places in Albuquerque that I know of and one of them is Ming Dynasty. Service is really great. Food is average. We ordered mostly dumplings: shu mai, steamed dumplings, and pan fried dumplings. The only complaint I have is: We got a batch of not-so-good steamed shrimp dumplings which I returned. The server said that we will not be charged for it but a different server (looks like a manager/owner) gave us a replacement of yet another soggy dumplings and we got charged. I had a bad experience at Ming Dynasty years past which is why I do not really go to this place. Two of my co-workers recommended this so I gave them another chance. How's my 2nd time? I will not be coming back anytime soon in this restaurant for sure. If you are looking for dumplings in Albuquerque, I will choose It Dimsum over Ming's. Sorry. read more

Ming Dynasty - soggy dumplings - Dim Sum Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Went to lunch today by myself and got my usual dimsum items. Other than being seated in a bad location and being ignored for the first 10 minutes, the big surprise came when my bill was double what it has been on my last visit. The cashier blamed COVID and I said I had been there a few times since COVID and never paid the prices like that before. I'd like to say that the food was worth it, but even at noon it was lukewarm and was not as good as I've had before. It will be the last time I dine there, and I'm sure they won't care. read more

Has gone down hill. FOOD POISONING I will never eat here again. This used to be fantastic, however, the food, cleanliness, and service has all been going downhill over the years. read more

I wish I could give this place more stars because I really support local Asian restaurants, but there's just too many things going wrong here it's unfortunate. Classic dim sum includes shumai and pork spare ribs. Both orders were served to us cold and it was very easy to tell that the spare ribs were recently thawed from frozen. Another one of my go to dishes is the rice noodle roll. And what we had was way too thick and the shrimp had an off taste that the soy sauce could not cover up. There were also some parts of the silverware that was dirty and our plastic plates had a few cracks in them. I left a big tip because I highly encourage Ming Dynasty to improve their quality of food and cleanliness. It's one of the only dim sum restaurants in Albuquerque so I believe they have a responsibility to keep the authenticity of true dim sum and be proud to be one of the only ones in Albuquerque. read more

It's time for them to close shop. It was almost empty when I stopped by. Should have left right away. The pork with fried noodles was one of the worst dishes in my life.

1st impression was horrid. $30 for rock solid orange chicken. The egg drop soup tastes like a fish tank. The eggroll was soggy mush inside. The fried wontons must have been under the heat lamp since 8am. I can't even feed this crap to a dog! read more

Went on Mother's day, sorta by accident, but was happy with the food and the experience. I'd been told that there was no where in town to find dim sum with carts but they had carts.
