Excellent dim sum. Service was on time.Will definitely order again.I took a take out but next will dine inside.

Came here on CNY and was the second in the door, so no reservation or wait. Service was good, even when busy the staff shared tables and were pretty attentive. Not all of them speak English, but they'll grab an English speaker for you if you need. Love that this place has the dim sum carts coming around, and you can also order from the regular menu. So there is a big variety and a lot to choose from. Got all the regular dim sum things like shrimp dumpling, pork dumpling, rice in banana leaf, shrimp in rice noodle, fried turnip cake, chicken feet, pork ribs in black bean sauce, scallop dumpling, chive dumpling. The carts are stacked so high, so some items aren't as hot as I would prefer. Also ordered lobster noodles, clams in black bean sauce, honey walnut shrimp. read more

This is always our go to place for authentic dim sum and variety. Service is always fast and good. Haven't been here for a while though and it was disappointing today due to inconsistent food. Baked goods like pineapple bun, egg tart, and cha siu bao were hands down best we have had in a long time. But the steamed, fried, and kitchen items really declined. Not sure if they have different cooks. It was just not good. I hope they check themselves and turn it back around. read more

I was given a recommendation for this place, and I specifically went directly to their website to order from them directly, and it was only after I made my delivery order that I was told except for the fine print which I found later that it was a DoorDash delivery and not a delivery from the I placed my order. I ordered.around 6:40 food was supposed to be picked up around seven. The driver was there waiting for it and was given the food at 6:23. I specifically ordered it from the restaurant so I didn't have to get DoorDash because I know DoorDash doesn't take care of their drivers and the drivers have to hustle with multiple orders so I didn't get my food directly. originally the delivery said it was gonna be a 715 to 720 delivery time. DoorDash updated it to 723 and then 726 and then 728 and then 730 and then seven finally got here at 7:34 The driver was super nice driver had to wait 10 minutes for it because the delay between DoorDash and online order which is actually a DoorDash sub company kind of like a ghost kitchen which is deceptive in its own sense and by the time my food got here it was already nearly 40 minutes old from when it was originally indicated. Sorry for the run-on sentence. The food was underwhelming, so I decided to contact the restaurant and give them some constructive feedback about the difficulties being delivered through DoorDash. The first person didn't wanna hear it almost immediately and passed the phone to somebody else and that guy was very defensive, combative and simply rude saying it's not my problem. Don't ever order from this place unless you're gonna pick it up otherwise it's a waste of time. I spent $50 on a meal which is nearly inedible. Half the chicken pieces or soft half the pieces are super hard and chewy as if they're left over from lunch. I ordered vegetarian eggrolls, which were soggy and yellow with very little color to the outer skin. I ordered mango pudding, which is more a runny . Overall, not impressed. Yes I understand it's delivery so I expected a delivery results, but the person on the phone was just super rude extremely defensive and I will never order from them again. I usually like to give better constructive feedback, but this was a horrible experience that I don't wish that you get for yourself! read more

I had high hopes for Ming Dynsasty, but the food was just ok. We ordered the Chinese New Year menu that feeds 8-10 people. Large portions, which is a plus. We had the following: - jellyfish, seaweed salad, cha siu - I think it's hard to mess this fish up and it was vey good - steamed fish - pretty good and came with 2 fish - bacon? Fried rice - this was the weirdest fried rice dish I've ever had and wasn't very good - lobster - it came with two tails and it was just okay - dried oyster wi try veggies - just ok - empress chicken - I don't actually like this cold yellow chicken, but the ginger garlic sauce was very good - Choy with mushrooms - a bit salty and the vegetables were huge and hard to eat - chicken and cuttlefish with vegetables - just ok - dessert was just oranges We also added pea sprouts and Gai Lan. The pea sprouts were very good. Small parking lot off of broadway and restaurant is pretty large. read more

He actually looked into places and suggested Ming since they do all day dim sum. It wasn't very busy when we got here so they seated us right away. We had actually ordered more items, but I believe they were out of two of them. I think it was the eggplant and something else. At the end of the meal, we realized we still hadn't received the tripe we ordered. Turns out they never put it in. They offered to punch it in right then, but we were full, so we declined. I really did want that ngau pak yip as not a lot of places have it any more. Maybe I should have brought it home. I enjoyed all the dim sum dishes. It had been a while since I went to yum cha, so it was nice what I consider a staple. My fam used to go out for dim sum every Sunday growing up. If memory serves, I found the cucumber salad a little heavy on the maggi. I didn't finish it, so when I ate it again, I added vinegar and chili oil to hide it a bit. The jellyfish didn't taste like much. Remedied that at home with some sesame, vinegar, chili oil, and green onion. The piggy baos were so cute. I couldn't resist. Glad I stopped by. Nice finding an all day dim sum spot on the way home. REVIEW #3929 read more

We spent the weekend in Sacramento for a family event that included Saturday night dinner here. For dinner, we started with pork belly served with hoisin sauce. This was followed by a seafood soup, honey walnut shrimp, assorted mushrooms/vegetable medley, steamed whole fish, crispy fried chicken, and lobster. Excellent dishes. The orange wedges at the end were the perfect dessert. Eleven of us returned at 10am on Sunday for the dim sum. I selected pu erh tea among the several choices. We feasted on har gow, siu mai, lotus leaf sticky rice, black bean spareribs, wonton soup, shrimp rice noodle rolls, tofu skin shrimp rolls, steamed egg custard buns, baked BBQ pork buns, steamed BBQ pork buns, deep fried pork dumplings, deep fried stuffed taro puffs, and egg tarts. Both meals were exceptional. Saturday night parking was a bit tight, but no problem first thing Sunday morning. read more

Food is 4 stars, service is 2 stars. We came here on an average lunch day and the lady carts were timely and friendly. The lady servers to order food from the menu were not. We ordered a side of rice and a vegetable dish and we had to follow up 3x. Finally, the cashier was very rude and insulting. She treated my brother-who is a visitor like her servant. She yelled and gave him attitude just because he forgot to sign the receipt. FYI, they charge tea for each person. read more

After all these years, this place still consistently delivers good quality food. You can order dim sum anytime (even at night). I like that they are on DoorDash for those lazy evenings. Their Peking duck is pretty decent for $24.99 on DoorDash. Their Sui Mai is nice and juicy. This is my comfort food spot. read more

Ming Dynasty was decent at best, not the superb dim sum experience that we enjoy so much unfortunately. Barely any carts rolled by, food was good but not super tasty to the point of food exhaustion and belly filling, and selection wasn't as vast compared to other great dim sum spots. Service was as expected (fast) but hardly anyone spoke English so it was tough to communicate and ambiance was welcoming but didn't feel like a typical Chinese dining experience with lively spirits and busy happiness. Beef noodle, my favorite, was subpar here and did NOT satisfy - this was a big let down. Not bad for a quick bite, but for a full on dim sum experience to achieve food coma - move past Go and just keep trucking along. read more

Ming Dynasty is a good place for dim sum in Sacramento. I've dined here many times and most of the experiences have been good. At this dim sum restaurant, they push the dim sum carts from table to table so you can order straight from the cart, or you can also order from your server off the menu. They don't provide the dim sum menu at the table so you have to get it from the counter if you want one. The pork siu mai was pretty good. I also liked their ha gao, shrimp noodle roll, deep fried pork puff, deep fried taro puff, soy sauce tofu, empress chicken, garlic spare ribs, turnip cake, and green tea mochi balls with black sesame. Their XLBs were just okay. The soy sauce chow mein was a miss last time we dined there. It seemed like it was just reheated and not hot. The steamed buns with egg custard inside were so so, but kids liked the ones shaped like piggies. The tea selection was good. On my last visit, they charged us an extra tea fee and charge an L dish that was M in the menu. All small things, but still things to keep an eye out for. With few dim sum restaurants in Sac, Ming Dynasty is one of the better choices right now. read more

We were at my mother in law's for Thanksgiving. She forgotten most places closed on Thanksgiving, so we went to hunt for a Chinese place. And what better than...dimsum?! It did take us a few minutes to drive and see what was open. We try to eat healthier with our new addition to the family, but sometimes just have to work with what we have. We found out Ming Dynasty was open for Thanksgiving! Parking wasn't a problem to find when we went. We dropped off one person in the car while parking so my sister-in-law grabbed us a table. They didn't give us a high chair until they saw we had a toddler and we asked for one. Food was surprisingly quick and many carts rolled us by us. We got our food quickly and our toddler was able to eat some of the items. He just turned 13 months, so we were attempting not to overload his body with salty food to process. We found out he loved congee - which should have been a no brainer, but I've always been intimidated to try to make it. It's on my list to try to make for him. The ladies spoke cantonese but could understand our mandarin when we asked about selections. Glancing around, patrons were a mix of ethnicity and there were some that looked very familiar with the servers, laughing and hugging. May come again if in the area. I got no pictures as I and my husband have been occupied with our new addition in eating out, in ensuring he doesn't fling everything to another table or have a meltdown :) read more

Service was good- 4 stars Food- 2.5 Stars Some of the food options, just didn't taste as good as we'd hoped. The fried fish balls had very little flavor and were cold. The soup dumplings had very little soup and were very doughy. We arrived about 30 minutes after they opened, so it was a bit disappointing. It's set up like a classic dim sum spot & the tea is good. (Side note- It was also freezing in there! So bring a jacket.) read more

I've been coming to this dim sum place the past couple of years and this is a staple. Not only the price is reasonable, but the service is great as well. My recent visit was perfect, all the items was fresh and hot, and one aspect that stood out was that the person doing the cards also mention the items in English, which helps for those people who don't speak Chinese. Overall would highly recommend this place. Just writing this review makes me hungry. Also no need to worry about the wait, on the last 3 times I've been here I've had never had to wait for a table! read more

Honestly not a bad place to get dimsum, especially for the price. There was already a line outside before they opened so that was a good sign. Service here was pretty good also. Not the best dim sum I've had, but a good place to come here and there. But like I said, price wise it's pretty good. read more

Love Ming dynasty been coming here for years. Michelin star recognized restaurant but the staff is very friendly and it's homey. You don't have to dress up super nice just casual and they have dim sum carts in the morning till afternoon, after that dim sum is available to order from the menu. I usually get the jasmine tea kettle it's 1.50/person and super good, I also love the shrimp rice noodle rolls and the soup dumplings!! Pretty budget friendly if you order from the dim sum menu, and the parking is decent. read more

A group of friends recommended Ming Dynasty. I'm relatively new to the dim sum experience. The dining area is a large, open room that's clean, efficient, and always buzzing with movement. One thing to note: the language barrier with staff can be a bit challenging. Upon walking in, if you don't already know how dim sum service works, you may need to ask for guidance since menus weren't provided and it's not immediately clear how to begin. Luckily, we were with someone who spoke Chinese, which helped immensely in choosing the best items as the ladies came by with their carts. The only other thing to watch out for is the pricing--each dish has its own cost, but it's not always clear upfront, so items can add up quickly if you're not paying attention. As for the food, I tried the lava bun for the first time and it was sweet, warm, and absolutely delicious--my new favorite. We also sampled beef dishes, vegetables, soup, and a variety of dumplings, all of which made the experience even better. I'm still working my way up to trying the pig's feet next time. All in all, Ming Dynasty delivered a solid dim sum experience. I might return! read more

Dined at Ming Dynasty for the second time; both of which were for Chinese New Years and had a good experience each time. Many places can have could food, but the interaction with staff can make or break the experience. And either make you want to come back or never come back again. Both of my times here the staff were very friendly, and made you feel like both they wanted to be there and wanted you as a customer there. That hasn't been my experience unfortunately at some other Chinese buffets in the area. Once our whole party arrived we looked over the menu briefly, and ordered the following: Our courses: Egg flower soup Sweet & Sour Pork Lobster special Oyster fried rice Asian broccoli Lettuce wraps Fried fish Everything came out really well amd I enjoyed all of the food. My favorite who have to be the crispy salt & pepper Lobster. The batter was nice and crispy and was also perfectly seasoned. But overall I really enjoyed every dish we ordered. Overall: Friendly staff, good environment and great food. read more

The Chinese food was great. The beef chow mein and the my-shu tasted flavorful and very filling. The portion sizes were worth the price. The honey walnut shrimp however wasn't great, I would not recommended that. It's has a creamy like mayonnaise sauce on it that wasn't horrible but I wouldn't get it again. The dish also didn't come as much as I anticipated. This isn't a must try Chinese restaurant, but I would order here again. read more

I ordered the house special BBQ platter and the beef chow fun as a take out order. I was expecting roast duck with the BBQ platter as this is what was on the photo on Door Dash. I was quite disappointed. The platter came with jellyfish, seaweed salad, roast pork, cha sui, and a type of beef cold cut. I did not enjoy the jellyfish as it tasted very bland and unseasoned. The roast pork was too fatty for my liking and the skin was no longer crispy by the time I returned home with my order. Everything else was delicious. The beef chow fun was just okay. Perhaps, I'll dine in on my next visit for a more pleasant experience. read more

I had the worst experience with this restaurant! I did online ordering after work for their bbq delight platter which shows two bbq meat options but when I got home and opened the to go box it had one bbq duck and the steamed chicken instead. When I called the store asking for assistance, he claimed I didn't chose the right options and that it's Chinese bbq and not American bbq. The online website did not have any options to chose from but the picture clearly shows two bbq items not one. Mind you, when I went inside to pick it up there was no one but a couple. When I asked how to get a refund and he made excuses and hung up on me. I called back three more times asking for help and he continued to hang up on me. Don't support this restaurant because they are unprofessional and take no accountability. read more

I have not been here in a long time, so today me and my sister went. I'm not sure if it's under new management but the place was pretty clean and looks more organized now. We got here at about 12:00, was greeted and sat down super fast! I think we got here at a good time because after 15mins a whole crowd showed up and it was getting busy!! The carts were coming by one by one. You can also order something from the menu if anything too. The waiters/servers and A Yi (auntie)'s were super nice and attentive. I feel like this place generally had better service and friendlier service than other spots. We picked what we wanted it was was flavorful and hot. Super good. Quality was good and I enjoyed every bite of it. I love the shrimp and chives dumplings? I forget what it's called. It was pan fried so good and crispy with juice flavor!! Man I could just eat another one right now. After you pick your item, it is stamped on a paper depending on the size of the dish or speciality, etc. You pay up at the front with the super good looking lady that's well dressed( I think she's the owner) def gave boss lady vibes. Our total came out to 40$ ! Super cheap and yummy. Overall come here if you're not wanting to drive super far to like south sac or Elk Grove or if you want to try a new dim sum spot! read more

This place has THE best shumai and egg tarts that I've ever had. First time here today and I will definitely come back whenever someone I know is in town and we crave for dumplings! Service was so sweet and efficient, and I just can't get over how delicious the shumai was. They were huge, and you would get a shrimp in every bite! I loved living the cart experience and the tea was so soothing and complemented the egg tarts very well. Definitely one of my favorites here and can't wait to be back! The only thing I wouldn't order again was the Xiao Long Bao as I found them to be dry, which isn't good for a soup dumpling. But the other items on the menu were delicious! Ambiance was good. We came right at opening so it started off quiet but it didn't take long for people to come pouring in. The service was excellent! read more

A review about the Wor Wonton soup I've been eating at Ming Dynasty for years. I've had everything up and down their menu but a constant go to for me is the Wor Wonton soup. This is my go to feel better soup, if I'm sick or just in the mood to stuff my soul with delicious soup. I've tried many versions of Wor Wonton around town and I feel like I the best version at Ming Dynasty. Alongside fresh, delicious dumplings, expect a good amount of veggies, seafood, and meats to fufill that soup craving. I like that if you get it to-go, the broth is separated from everything else to maximize freshness when you get home. I like to add hot chili oil and a little soy sauce. I like to sweat it out while I'm scarfing down this meal. In an ever-changing world, Ming Dynasty has not changed this perfect meal and I'm thankful for that. I've done takeout a ton of times but have also ate inside. This place is a good size, can be a little loud during cart service but a great spot for entertaining and enjoying time with loved ones over a good meal. The waiters are friendly and I've never had any problems with service. If you're craving some delicious Wor Wonton soup, please give Ming Dynasty a try! read more

I've eaten at this restaurant before for a huge family gathering and I remember that previous experience being good, but my most recent experience was anything but good. The food and service were terrible. I had lunch with my mom and brother. It's a huge restaurant and there were about five other tables being waited, yet it took forever for our food to come. The shrimp dumplings and the roast duck didn't look fresh. The dumplings were old and, when we picked them up, the skin was stuck to the bowl. The duck was overcooked, didn't have a ton of meat and had sauce, which I think the chef put on to make it look better. When we got our bill, it didn't come with fortune cookies. read more

I've been here twice. The first visit was a little while back but I recall the experience being pretty solid. Pricing was competitive, they had a good variety of dim sum, quality was legit, and the service was fine. Based on that, I decided to return here for a second trip. The second trip was less stellar than the first, mainly because service was slow and it took us a while to get our food. This was after the lunch rush in the mid afternoon, so it felt a bit unusual to have slower service during their wind down period. My only guess is that the kitchen slows down later in the afternoon, but who knows. The dim sum was about average and overshadowed by the how slow the dishes came out and some of the plates didn't seem super hot. Dim sum prices as of November 2024: Small - $4.25 Medium - $5.55 Large - $6.25 Kitchen - $7.85 For reference, siu mai is a medium (4 pieces) and shrimp rice noodle rolls are considered a large. Overall, I'd still come back, but probably avoiding midday due to the slow service and the food didn't seem hot and fresh. read more

Delicious and a unique experience. So much yumminess to choose from the carts of food that come by with both savory and desserts. :)

Tried this place for the very first time and was delightfully surprised!! We were looking for a place that was open in the being that sold fried shrimp balls and other dim sum items and this place hit the mark. Not only is this place super reasonable for the price but also for the portion size! I almost forgot to take a picture because we ate everything so fast but we ordered 2 orders of fried shrimp balls Tasty, crispy, comes with a side of sweet and sour sauce. 3 orders of shumai Huge in size and they use whole mini shrimp instead of dicing them which I liked. The flavor was on point. Will definitely be ordering from this place again. read more

Have tried Ming Dynasty a few times in the past alone and with family. Today ordered the chao zhou style dumpling, chicken feet, and beef chow fun dry style as opposed to gravy style. Everything was very tasty especially the beef chow fun. It is flavorful without being too salty and noodles were not clumped together compared to some I've had before from other places. The other two dishes were good as well but will try other dim sum dishes next visit. I love noodles, so will try other noodle dishes as well since the chow fun was good. Chow fun came out first and not a long wait then the dim sum dishes came out the same time, again not a long wait. Good service all in all. Place is spacious. I came early but as dinner progressed, the place fills up but there is plenty of room. You can order ahead of time for pick up and I did see a lot of pick up orders. Will come back soon. Thank you. read more

I ordered the bbq pork fried rice, beef chow fun, beef and broccoli, and chicken chow mein. Wasted my money. I will never order here again.

OMG I lived in the Sac region for over 25+ years and I don't know how I missed ever coming to Ming Dynasty! I got invited to my daughter's BF Chinese New Year family dinner here a few weeks back and OMG was I impressed. I have driven right past this place for years and even a few weeks back the outside wouldn't have pulled me in. Parked outside a little sketchy with some the homeless people wandering around, but they did have a security guard so made it feel a little safer. Walking in not what I was expecting either felt more like a banquet hall more than anything. What did catch my eye were the massive fish tanks across the back wall with tons of lobsters, crabs and other delicious seafood! Inside to be honest nothing special and the bathrooms not that special either actually kinda dirty on my night visiting. But what made up for it was the amazing service and even more amazing food! This place brought me back to eating in downtown SF as a kid in China Town. Everything is served family style and the flavors out of bounds! My absolute hands down favorites were lobster chow mein literally with the whole lobster. Then the Peking duck and build your own boa buns with plum sauce was so good!!!! I loved the environment here as well on the night I was here it was such a party with huge families gathered to celebrate. So happy I got the invite and look forward hopefully getting another one next year! read more

Private parking lot. Lots of indoor seating. It's your typical dim sum spot with fresh live seafood in a glass that you can pick from. There are fancy chandeliers up top. The service was exceptional! They were very accommodating from getting us the sauce on the side, plastic utensils for our toddler, and always bringing everything to us with extra napkins. Everything was made fresh to order and came out hot. This was our first time here and won't be our last. read more

It had been quite a while since my last visit, but my parents were craving dim sum--and I remembered this spot being pretty solid. I was especially excited to find that on a Friday afternoon, they had full cart service going! Last time I came, they didn't have the carts, so this was a really nice surprise. Everything we ordered was fresh and flavorful, and I was pleasantly surprised there were no issues with over-salting or that MSG-heavy aftertaste you sometimes run into. The dishes felt clean, well-balanced, and satisfying. Service was great--friendly, prompt, and attentive. If something wasn't on the cart, the staff went out of their way to track it down and bring it straight to our table, which was awesome. Prices felt totally reasonable and in line with most dim sum spots. All in all, it was a delicious experience, and I'd come back in a heartbeat. Definitely a go-to for a satisfying dim sum fix. read more

We were late arriving into Sacramento and chose Ming because it's open till 10PM. It's a huge restaurant serving authentic Cantonese style fair on an extensive menu. I wanted my son (pictured) to experience some of the indigenous preparations, like sautéed Gai Lan, Roast Duck, Chicken Dim Sum, and Chicken Feet. The whole meal was delicious! ...and the price was only $41. I could eat there every day for a month and never try all the items on the menu. (See the pics). Based on food quality, selection and price, this is a "must try" restaurant! Bonus: the bathrooms are very clean! read more

Came back to have some more dim sum but what made this visit a fruitful experience was the lobster and noodles with light brown sauce and some green onions. It's a whole lobster, cut up, on top of delicious noodles. It was a special for the day so the price was lower. It was so good and the portion was good enough to take home for dinner for three. Dim sum is dim sun, you can't ever go wrong as long as you know what you're getting. Service was fantastic and response time was quick. They were all smiles and even gave suggestions. There was quite a bit of people still there and two more groups came in even though it was almost 1400. The vibe was good, the restaurant was clean, and not too loud. Plenty of parking provided and street parking is available. read more

This was my first time going here and I will definitely be back! Went as a group of 5, ordered 11 different dishes to share and all of us went home with leftovers. This place has a Michelin Star and I totally understand why. The dining space has loads of room and I love the Lazy Susan on the tables as it made it easy to share the dishes along the table. The customer service was 10/10; our servers kept the water filled, cleared dishes to make room for more, and overall had a very positive demeanor and made our group feel very welcomed. The food came out quickly and all of it tasted very fresh and delicious. Here is a list of what we had and my rating for each. +House Special Fried Rice - 5/5 I love fried rice and enjoyed the combination of chicken and pork in the rice. +Shrimp Fried Rice - 5/5 They put a generous amount of shrimp +BBQ Pork Chow Mein - 5/5 Good flavor with tasty noodle +Deep Fried Shrimp Ball - 5/5 They cut the Shrimp Balls in half with scissors at the table so it can cool down. The crunchy exterior with a shrimp inner mixture inside was super yummy. +Kung Pao Chicken - 5/5 Nice spicy kick with yummy veggies and perfectly cooked chicken. +Beef Chow Fun (dry) - 5/5 Tasty flat noods +Shu Mai - 5/5 I am so accustomed to small Shu Mai from other places and was astonished at how large they make theirs. The size was a pleasant surprise and the taste is also delish. +Deep Fried Pork Dumpling - 0/5 I did not enjoy the flavor. I am not saying it was poorly made, it just did not fit my palate. +Steamed BBQ Pork Buns - 5/5 Soft and pillowy exterior with a savory/sweet bbq pork interior. Yum yum +Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings 5/5 I love a good wing and these were crispy and seasoned well. +Baked Egg Custard Buns - 5/5 This was the first thing I ate. The sweet taste took me by surprise and I loved it. A soft outer with a sweet custard filling - -just delectable read more

New ownership, new experience. We knew something was up when we pulled into the parking lot and there were 3 parking spaces open; normally we'd have to park across the street at Target. Also, no waiting once we entered- at least 4 tables were open...at 11:45am on a Sunday; unheard of at any dim sum joint. Prime time and not packed? Been coming here since the Fortune House days, but now that it's Ming Dynasty 2.0, we may be staying in Elk Grove for our dim sum fix. Service is great with the ever-friendly Ken roaming the floor, and our server Jing was pleasant, as were the cart pushers. Food...that's another story. Family members noticed lack of flavor on some dishes, namely the wrapped bean curd, the meatballs (mushy) and the chicken feet. Some dishes were lukewarm (shrimp cheurng fun and the pan fried chives dumplings). The shredded pork chow mein dish was about 90% noodles and 10% shiitake shrooms/pork. Only positive change I noticed during this outing were the uniforms and the new carpeting. Aside from that, I'm gonna stay local and address my dim sum fix in Elk Grove read more
