My husband and I ate here on Saturday and the food was great! The place was nicely decorated and clean. The staff were very friendly. I love Dim Sum, but hate traveling to Manhattan due to the traffic and finding a parking spot. I also hate getting up early. I will definitely go back. read more

Ah, another restaurant opens in the old Char No. 4 spot (let's just not talk about the Anne Burrell place, Crispy Burger, Gatsu Gatsu which wasn't here long enough for me to consider it, nor poor Dimmer & Summer, etc.). Ming Mun is attempting to be so many things for the folks in need of good Chinese food in the neighborhood. They are offering dim sum, and peking duck, and General Tso's chicken lunch specials, and much, much more. They have so many menus, and so many dumplings. The interior is slightly altered from the most recent tenant (Dimmer & Summer), with the addition of white table cloths, and a slightly more upscale feel. We've come in a few times for dim sum, and there's a lot to like on the menu. The rice rolls, dumplings, pork buns and more will hit the spot, although I'd avoid the soup dumplings (AKA juicy pork buns); it doesn't seem to be their specialty, and the wrappers are a bit too dense for my taste (head up toward downtown Brooklyn for some better options there). I like the garlicky cucumbers as a side for any and all meals, and the crispy garlic spareribs are a winner if you don't mind all the bones (not my wife's jam). If you're looking for the standard fare like General Tso's chicken, it's fine, but it won't blow your mind (and personally, I'm not into the chicken and corn soup that comes with the lunch special, but that's not their fault, I just don't love the gelatinous texture prized by many Chinese). One of these days I'm going to roll in with a group for some peking duck, but until then, I'll stick to dumplings every once in a while. read more

I'm thrilled to enjoy dim sum in a calm setting in Brooklyn. The dim sum was 100% authentic and everything I had tasted juicy and good! I had: - Shumai (4pc) - Panfried chive shrimp dumplings (4pc) - Pork soup dumplings (4pc) - Roast pork rice roll (3 cut into 6) All 4 were great with my ultimate favorite being the roast pork rice roll - so silky thin and couldn't get enough. Its a small place so reservations are recommended, and it looks like there is a nice backroom for a party of 10. Waiters were friendly and attentive. IG: Jubes111 YouTube: Jujubi Fam read more

It's now possible to enjoy delicious Dim Sum in Boerum Hill thanks to Ming Mun. You heard right. I didn't mention going to Chinatown. A first time visit ramped up expectations due to eating/enjoying Dim Sum for as long as I could remember and being picky. I've been to some top notch spots in Chinatown so the bar was set high. Staff were very hospitable and service was attentive. We were intrigued with the menu and the diversity of selections. We started off with a pot of Jasmine tea which accompanied our selections well. An automatic refill of hot water was offered once we finished the first round. We ordered Shrimp Rice roll (and requested the elimination of the soy sauce drizzle on top), Shrimp and Chive Dumpling, Chinese Greens (with a side of white rice). I liked them all very much and it was a Dim Sum feast without going to Chinatown. The Shrimp Rice Roll was different from what I remembered having in the past. Theirs was a little thicker and not the silky texture from what I was accustomed to having. Still, it was good. The Shrimp with Chives Dim Sum was excellent. Lightly pan fried with a delicious filling. I only wished the green food color wasn't added. My favorite was the Chinese Greens (Broccoli). Prepared crisp/tender with Oyster Sauce, this dish was hands down one of the best vegetable solo mains I've had at Chinese restaurants recently. The portion size for all selections were just right. The quantity of Dim Sum dumplings are usually 3 or 4 pieces. I'm already eager to return and mentally selecting what to have next time. I'd love to see an expansion of the menu to include more authentic (and less Chinese American) dishes. BTW, I mean this in a positive way. I am not of Chinese heritage myself but I happen to love the cuisine very much and authenticity is where it's at. Overall, I loved my experience at Ming Mun and am ecstatic it is walking distance for when I want a Dim Sum fix. Entire staff was super nice. This little gem is a keeper in my book. read more

Had wanted to try for a while but the prices always kept me away. There's one delivery app that they put crazy discounts out on and ordered through that. Got the regular and seafood shumai, both very good. Their roast pork came with some really yummy pickled veggies which was a bonus. Also solid turnip cake. Can't give it the full five stars as I normally wouldn't have wanted to spend what they charge but enjoyed what I had for the price I got it for! read more

There aren't many Chinese restaurants in the neighborhood, so Ming Mun is a nice welcome. It has that old school Chinese restaurant ambiance, but I kind of wished they kept the modern decor from the previous Dimmer and Simmer. With that said, the food is truly authentic though pricier than you'll find in Chinatown due to the location. The fiancé and I came by for dinner and it's pretty cool that you can order dim sum any time of the day. We started off with the pot of Jasmine Tea ($10). This is quite pricey between two people, but if you have more than 4 people, it's worth it. For food, we ordered the Beef Rice Roll ($8.50), Shanghai Juicy Pork Dumpling ($7.50), Stew Beef Noodle Soup ($16.95), and General Tso's Chicken ($18.95). The dim sum dishes were tasty, but very pricey when I can get it for a fraction of the price in Chinatown. The rice roll was fresh and silky, but way too slippery to eat even for someone who grew up using chopsticks. I liked the pork dumplings too, but also very pricey for only 4 pieces. As for our main dishes, these were much larger portions. We ended up mostly eating the chicken and I got to take the noodle home. Personally, I really enjoyed the noodle soup which tasted homey. Overall, solid Chinese restaurant for my cravings whenever I don't want to venture out to Chinatown. They also have some good lunch specials too. read more

I thought I had already reviewed this place. It offers absolutely fantastic dim sum that rivals anything in Chinatown. It's no frills, not romantic, but if you want some soup dumplings and Chinese broccoli, you don't need to leave Brooklyn! Excellent service, sake, wine, beer; they've got you. Wouldn't hesitate if loo loop jg for dim sum in the area read more

Spotlessly clean, friendly service, excellent dim sum, ultra fresh vegetables, great tea service, and reasonable prices. Definitely go before this new place is discovered. read more

I used to hate getting dim sum outside of Chinatown because it was so much more expensive. But things are expensive everywhere now, and the world may or may not be ending, so go ahead and get that $6.50 shu mai. It felt a little strange that "Dimmer & Summer" closed and the space underwent a long renovation just for another dim sum restaurant to open. "I've got big shoes to fill. My own?" However, I actually prefer the current menu as it's more authentic, without the distraction of those fusion concoctions. I will miss the robot server though and hope they were able to find employment elsewhere... The dim sum I tried were high-quality and hot (RIP the roof of my mouth). I also ordered a rice noodle (ho fun) dish that was really good. Prices are indeed a little high but portions are pretty big. I would love to see them expand the menu a bit, especially under the "Chef's Special", with some additional Cantonese classics and eliminate the American-Chinese menu (sorry, is that mean). Regardless, Ming Mun is a welcome addition (continuation?) to the neighborhood. read more

I'm here for dinner and I didn't order dimsum. They don't have much options for stir-fried dishes, and most of them are American style dishes, which was not what I was expecting. I expected a more local Cantonese style food, obviously they are not such a restaurant read more

If you, like me, love dimsum and wish there were great options in more neighborhoods, then I highly, highly recommend you check out Ming Mun on Smith St! This is a small, calm restaurant with a full dimsum menu, and I would totally bring my kids there. I went recently for the first time and enjoyed everything I ordered: har gow, shrimp and chive dumplings, turnip cakes, szechuan wontons, and a big heaping pile of snow pea shoots with garlic. BEST turnip cakes I've ever had, and I love turnip cakes. They set a new standard. They tasted homemade, with long tendrils of daikon throughout. I only wish I'd gone with a bigger group so we could have ordered more! I really want this place to stick around and can't wait to go back! read more

It was very busy on Christmas, but very tasty and inexpensive. They ran out of rice though. Great dumplings.

Ming Mun is a tiny restaurant in Downtown Brooklyn. They offer 30 percent off Beer and Wine during happy hour. I ordered an Asahi Beer, and three dishes. Shrimp Rolls were good, not great. Steamed Pork Dumplings were very delicious, but Rice dumplings weren't that good. A ten percent discount is available if you pay cash. My bill was very reasonable. Highly recommended if you are on a budget. PS, I'm still struggling with chop sticks. read more

Their servers can answer any question about the food. Their meals never let me down, I should note. Everyone working here treats you like family. The tiny space somehow feels just right. You'll notice higher prices matched by higher standards. read more

Horrible! The worst food I ever had. The spareribs were fried cartilage and the noodles had only 3 shrimp. I should have went to Mac Donald's read more

Overall really good delivery experience. Items are a little pricey to be anything but a on a special occasion place but incredibly tasty. The spare rib dim sum and how they use taro reminded me of dimmer and summer that used to be nearby I believe. Other yummy dishes include the shu mai and chicken feet with peanut, definitely good versions of these to me read more
