Great take out..Nice family owned place.They were very nice to me. Very big Menu. 200 Different plates.Some dim sum you don't see every day. read more

Sadly, my girlfriend and I stopped by this place on President's Day (Monday) to try and get some dim sum. We ordered about 10 things off the dim sum menu and was disappointed with microwaved leftovers. Not even the chinese broccoli was fresh. The worst thing we ordered was the baked egg yok bun. The best was the chicken bun. Yes, this place does serve authentic chinese cuisine and had some potential. Maybe if it was Sunday and everything was fresh, we would've enjoyed our meal more. read more

The best (and only?) spot for Dim Sum in Albuquerque. Having been to Ming Dynasty several times now across the years I can certainly recommend them to anyone in Albuquerque looking to try some of the more common Dim Sum offerings right here at home. The recent discovery that they serve douhua (sweet tofu pudding) was a welcome surprise. read more

By far the worst food I've ever paid for. It was so bad I went home and made a yelp account to warn other people. The buns were over microwaved and chewy. Meat was grey and mostly cartilage. I genuinely couldn't swallow a single bite. It was so disgusting that as soon as my family went out the door we all burst out laughing because it was like something out of a movie. I'm shocked at the reviews at this place. I would rank it right below gas station hot dog. read more

Ming Dynasty - Genuinely inedible, smelled vaguely of chemicals - Dim Sum Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Me and my husband love eating here. Everyone always makes us feel welcome and I have never had a bad dish. Everything taste wonderful.

It's quite surprising to find great Dim Sum in the Southwest. For a town that doesn't have a large Chinese or Asian community, this is simply great Dim Sum. Unfortunately, it's only served one day a week. It may not rival the China towns in Frisco or New York, but they come awfully close. The other non-Dim Sum dishes, the rest of the week, are equally fantastic. read more

My favorite place in town. Authentic Dim Sum and the best Mushu Pork. Good service and very affordable. Family friendly or good for a date night. Definitely a hidden gem! read more

The dragon fries are a must, but they're not on the menu so ask about them! The dragon fries are basically curly fries with garlic spices, they are bomb. The dim sum is great and the staff here is so courteous This is my go-to restaurant for chinese food! read more

The #6 is to die for Don't sleep on the hot and sour soup. This is a marvel to any foodie read more

They're good. The reason they're great here in ABQ is because theyre the ONLY ONE thats serving dim sum in ABQ. LOL

Ming Dynasty is by far one of my local favorites. You can order off the menu during the week or try Dim sum on Sundays. The orange chicken combination is my favorite but Ming, the owner who serves you himself during the week can serve up some killer other plates. The egg foo yong is pretty delicious as well. Try it out, I'm sure you find it to be pleasing and relaxing. read more

Great Dim Sum! 12 of us at the table, sharing 10 different items! Nothing disappointing ! Worth coming back for!!!

I am so sad. This is supposedly the only place to get dim sum. Now I've been to places up and down California, in New York, Chicago, and Las Vegas, so my taste buds are skewed and I should remember where I am. Yet, this was the worst dim sum I've ever had, it was edible, thus the 2 stars. The meat was tough, and portions were small for some dishes. I came on a Friday, so there were no carts, but I'm unsure if that would make a difference. I really wanted this place to be good, but I guess I'll have to stick to frozen options until I can make it back to at least decent dim sum. On a positive note, besides dim sum we had a dry chow fun noodles, those weren't half bad. Service was good though, so if you want something other than dim sum, perhaps this place could do it for you. read more

After reading some reviews we thought we definitely should this place but unfortunately it was huge disappointment. The egg rolls were gross and quite frankly a mystery cause we couldn't tell what was in it. The fried rice was plain and bland. Will not be ordering from ever again! read more

Been here routinely for quite a few years now. never had anything but their dim sum. is it the best dim sum ever? no....is it pretty good? yes it is. eaten dim sum from Chinatown to Boston and of course others are superior but this place serves it purpose and satisfies my craving. read more

Being as it is Albuquerque and only one of two dim sum places that I've heard of (still have yet to try the other one) there dim is what it is. Not the greatest I've had and not the worst. Went about two hours before they were going to close. Some items were fresher than others but it satisfies the craving I had. Would I go back? Yes I would but I'd go right when they opened and see if the quality improves or not. Like I said it is Albuquerque and it is what it is. read more

My experience was fantastic. They were open on Christmas Eve!!! The food was hot and fresh!!! Yeah! I walked in and there was a festive atmosphere (gift giving going on) and the price was right. The didn't get a 5 star because we had gone there for the first time and tried to use the website and it is a bit of hard navigation and doesn't show their whole menu. Problem rectified when I got 2 paper menus...one is all dim sum!!! We will go again and so should you! read more

This restaurant advertises as the only dim sum restaurant in Albuquerque that makes its own dim sum fresh. Sadly, the food and the decor is subpar. Even considering that this place isn't in Hong Kong, or even NYC/LA/Boston, I am surprised at how poor the food was. We were not offered a selection of tea options, even though their menu listed the tea options typical at dim sum restaurants. The rice flour wrapping of several dim sum items was too thick, and dry--I suspect that it is related in part that they do not have much turnover in food (We even came on Saturday). The fried taro dish tasted of reused oil, and had a weird meat taste. Service was somewhat prompt. The decor is old, as in many Chinese restaurants. However, the lack of quality in the food does not make up for the run-down decor of the restaurant. All of this may be due to the small Asian presence/demand in the city. I do hope that things improve in the future. read more

The owner Mihn is very cordial and helpful with questions on the food itself, and always smiles. The dim sum is my favorite and is very fresh. If you order off the regular menu to include a large selection of seafood that I recommend. Other menu items of American- Chinese food is good, but not outstanding. I order the non traditional items off the menu, but the Dim Sum menu is always my draw. read more

Read previous reviews of people raving how great Ming Dynasty is. Completely disagree, my husband & I ordered beef & broccoli, chicken fried rice, an order of egg rolls, and shrimp rice noodles off the Dim Sum menu. The beef & broccoli was ALL broccoli, there were maybe 10 very thin small slices of beef. The chicken fried rice had completely no flavor, no salt, no spice, it was like eating styrofoam. The shrimp rice noodle was the same, no spice, no taste, or flavor. There were 4 little pieces of shrimp and the noodles were runny and cold. It was not a pleasant experience & unfortunately I am still on the hunt for a GOOD Chinese restaurant in Albuquerque. read more

Only been here once with a party of four. We ordered several dim sum dishes to share and I personally thought them delicious and was well satiated. All very good, but my big kudo comes because I received a Christmas gift in the form of an envelope full of cash here. By the end of dinner, I completely forgot I had put the envelope to the side in order to eat and ended up leaving the envelope. Now, I actually didn't notice 'til that night and though I wasn't incredibly distressed about the money itself, the fact that it was a gift and that I lost it did cause some misery. I quickly fell into the depressed thinking that "oh, well. I screwed up. It's gone". After embarrassedly admitting what happened to the giver of the gift they insisted I call. Instead I said "screw it" and headed over in person the next day around dinner time. Can't remember if it was the manager or owner, but I will forever remember the honesty with which they kept the envelope safe and kindly returned it without so much as looking at what was inside (I think). No money was gone though and I of course left a 20 for their virtue. Either way, that made a loyal customer out of me and I will surely recommend this place and be back myself when the opportunity arises. read more

Have only been for Dim Sum. Quite possibly the worst meal that I have ever had. Partner and I got several items from the cart. Every one of the items were very salty and appeared to be covered in fish sauce. We ate little, covered our plates with napkins and went elsewhere for lunch. read more

Came here on a Saturday about a year and a half ago and haven't been back. I was really excited to hear about this place when I got orders to move here for my second assignment in the Air Force. A couple of officemates knew about this dim sum place near base, and they said it was pretty decent! Unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed in this place. We went on a Saturday because supposedly they'd have fresh dim sum on the weekends, but everything we ordered tasted like they were from the freezer section at Talin market. Portions were small and the prices weren't the best either. Servers didn't speak cantonese - so I had to point at stuff or try to translate loosely into english. No-one looked very happy to be there. While ABQ does have some authentic chinese food (taiwanese - Budai and Fan Tang...kinda, cantonese - ABC Chinese), I'm sorry to say that I'd rather take a flight back home to california than have dim sum here again...It's just too disappointing. I don't think it's their fault in particular, I just don't think the market here is big enough to support a high quality dim sum restaurant (which is why ABC chinese stopped doing it years ago). read more

Ming Dynasty is known around ABQ for being the only Dim Sum serving restaurant in town. While this is true it is just the staple Dim Sum menu you find in every dim sum place in bigger cities. Being from the Midwest, The Phoenix in Chicago is my baseline for this review. Ming Dynasty is much smaller in all aspects. The menu has less items. I've never seen more than 6 tables occupied at any given time. The place is small and the place could use a lot of redecorating. There seem to only be about 3 people working. But the food is good and being the only Dim Sum place will always bring in those of us big city people trying to get a little taste of back home. read more

First time here and it was amazing. Great friendly and kind service. The meal was great for sharing on our date. The food tasted great definitely better than anything Panda Express could offer. The price was also very reasonable just $25 (including tip) for our meal. They also ended it with bringing us hot towels to wipe our hands and fortune cookies. We will definitely be returning and I highly recommend! read more

The dim sum at Ming Dynasty is really the best that I have tried in Albuquerque. Their roasted pork buns (steamed and baked) are the best I have ever had, compared to dim sum in Cleveland, Ohio and Boston, Massachusetts. Ming Dynasty supplies the customer with a wide array of choices with four carts full of tasty treats. The staff is courteous and friendly. Ming Dynasty's atmosphere is simple and pleasing with spacious tables. Even when it is crowded on Sundays, you never feel as though you will bump into other guests. All I have had at Ming Dynasty is the dim sum, so I cannot vouch for other items on their menu, but from what I can deduct, if Ming Dynasty's dim sum tastes great, their Chinese food must follow the same pattern. read more

Went yesterday for "early birthday" lunch with my friend Deanna. Food was fantastic, service was superb, ambience was bustling - we were there for 3 hours, it was so enjoyable. read more

This is the only place in town where you can get dim sum. That being said, it's decent, but you are paying California prices that is not California quality. I've been there once with my wife, will wait for trips back to Cali (Oakland Chinatown or Orange County) for better food. read more

Just before writing this review I told my husband, "I could eat dim sum every day of my life. I think it's my favorite." That being said, I love Ming Dynasty. You might miss it if you're not looking. The atmosphere is not flashy or hip necessarily but a good place to get great food. We are always able to get a seat. Service is prompt and friendly and the dim sum is great! They have all of our favorites and we always leave as stuffed as a sweet-bean sesame ball. Cart after cart of every great option, you are sure to leave satisfied. If you love dim sum as much as me, go here! If you've never tried it, it's time to start. Go here! read more

Best Dim Sum ever! I always eat here when I am in Albuquerque. The selection is authentic and the service is top notch. I especially like the pork buns both steamed and baked. I am especially fond of the chicken feet both very authentic Chinese and tasty! read more

The only place in Burque that really provides traditional dim sum. The dim sum used to be more popular so that on Sundays they were served in silver carts to a packed restaurant, but now it seems you just have to order it off the menu, which isn't as fun, but no fault to them obviously. read more

Awesome dim sum. Right up there next to noodles at the Bellagio in Vegas. And I have been there numerous. some where different. You order dim sum off menu. It was dead when we came in around 3pm so but when we left there were 4 other parties going. Nice will visit again and bring my Taiwanese friends with to try. read more

My rule of thumb for Chinese restaurants is if it's often frequented by Chinese people, it's generally going to be good and authentic enough. If you go there on a weekend for their well known Dim Sum, you'll see plenty of Asian people here and it's really great. Home made, you can't go wrong on a Saturday or Sunday when they first open. The Dim Sum is super fresh at 11 am and it's not too busy. Don't miss this place! read more

This restaurant is totally sketchy and racist. When our party arrived there was a sign stating the restaurant was closed for a private party. I went in and asked if there was time for us to eat before the party started. They said no, but permitted me to order food to go. While I was outside eating in my car another couple drive up. They approached to door and saw the closed sign, returned to their car and while we were chatting a waitress come running out and invited them to come in and eat. They looked at us eating in our car and the waitress just waived us off in a "don't worry about them " gesture. I and Anglo, the other couple was not. Besides not being permitted to eat in this place, the food we ordered was terrible, Dim Sum, soup, Roast Pork Fried Rice and potstickers. All tasted reheated and was dripping with grease. Please do not patronize this establishment. read more

Was craving Chinese dim sum and google reviews brought us here. We chose the meatballs, shumai and pork buns. An additional entree was mixed chow mein. The 5 stars is for the "totally nailed it" authenticity. Carts were brought to our table for dim sum selection. No frills ambience with prompt and courteous service. read more

I had high hopes and was very disappointed. Most of our food we barely edible. I picked up a few dim sum items....the shrimp har got tasted old and like the fridge, the potstickers were deep fried...not pan fired and hard, the pan fried noodle dish had little to no flavor, the orange beef was dried up small strips of beef over fried with a nasty sauce. All in all we spent $45 bucks...took a few bites....and threw it all night. read more

This place has been a family favorite for a few years now. Great food, good service, and fantastic prices. We love the Dim Sum. Usually order 7-12 for variety and share it with whomever we've brought with us. We see children often and enjoy the atmosphere. Love the bbq steam buns and the mango pudding. read more

This place is nice and very quiet and not very busy for lunch or maybe it was the timing and was an early dinner cuz of the time i went. The food is cooked fresh in the kitchen and they have a big menu so lots to choose from the owner remembers me every time i go in to eat if you like dim sum thats the place to go for it and they serve domestic and imported beer... read more

I'm a regular at Mind Dynasty for their dim sum service on the weekends (I've never eaten there for just lunch or dinner). The dim sum is good to very good and the selection is OK. This is Albuquerque, after all, not DC, or NYC, or San Fran, so I'm grateful just to have a place that serves dim sum. My favorites are the shrimp-stuffed eggplant with black-bean sauce, baked barbecue pork buns, steamed barbecue pork buns, the pork and ginger shu mai, and the sweet tofu. My usually picky preschooler gobbles up the food at Ming Dynasty happily and with gusto. My only disappointment there has been the taro cake, which was a little flavorless and dry. Everything else has been enjoyable. The service is good, although a little spotty at times, especially with some of the newer faces. There are two servers who have been there since I started going there who always take care of us, even when we're not in their section, and try to pick up the slack when the rest of the staff is a little off (which happens when they get too busy). Most of the servers are warm and polite, even if their English is a little limited. On busy days, it can take a while for the carts to get to your table. The restaurant itself is OK in appearance. It could use a fresh coat of paint to make it more appealing. The bathrooms are reasonably clean. Parents - their high chairs are quite old (all metal, possibly 70s era chairs) and not exactly spotless-looking. I like to bring my own hook-on-the-table high chair or at least a cover for their chair. read more

We love the Ming Dynasty. Food is always tasty, well presented and consistent, the service is always friendly and welcoming and It's always spotlessly clean. read more
