Replacing our local favorite, King Wah, Ming Yuan seems to basically be the same thing. Known for their dim sum in the morning/afternoon, they also have a dinner menu/set, although I'd still say it's best for dim sum. The restaurant itself is relatively clean, large, and upscale, decent for parties or events, or for small families. Order off the paper menu by marking what you want, as they no longer wheel the dim sum carts around (they might carry around some popular items). They've got a wide selection of items, but everything's in English with pictures, and most of the staff speak some English. Prices are expensive, but not more than most other dim sum places. I don't think they make anything particularly noteworthy, so no recommendations there, but everything is pretty tasty, so I don't think you can go wrong either. (I do recommend the heung pin/jasmine tea though, as it's floral and light, which contrast with the oily and sweet items on the menu). I'd recommend avoiding the weekend rush, since lines and parking will be issues. Or, if you're like my family, arrive at opening. read more

Ming Yuan Restaurant - Desserts and fried food - Dim Sum Near Me - Daly City, California

It's a good sign when there's a line waiting for a restaurant to open. Ming Yuan had such a line on a Sunday morning and we enjoyed the dim sum brunch. Highlights: French Style Baked BBQ Buns-enjoy at the restaurant, not so great to take home Supreme Soy Sauce Chow Mein-decent "wok hei" Midlights (not really a lowlight, lol): Pan Fried Scallion Crepes-a tad dry and not as flavorful Sponge cake-not too fluffy Pan Fried XO noodles-lacks crispness that we enjoy Overall, a nice place to enjoy dim sum. Parking can be challenging, but they have a sign saying it's okay to park in the Westlake Shopping lot (if you enjoy walking up a hill before you eat). Thanks! read more

We returned for dim sum just for 2. We arrived very early knowing they might get very crowded later. As we were leaving, the Libby area was jam packed with customers and lines outside on the sidewalk. Service was good up until the end, our last dish did not arrive as we waited over 15 mins for it. I had to flag down a waiter who ran off into the kitchen to "chase it" down and brought it to us. All the dishes we picked were good, especially the siu mai and sticky rice in lotus wrap. The veggie egg rolls were crispy, steamed chicken feet was OK but I've had better, egg tarts were very small but the crust was flaky, the fried taro dumpling was gorgeously fluffy and delicious. Definitely plan to be back as prices were reasonable. Lunch was $45 for 2 before tip. read more

We decided to have lunch at Ming Yuan for the first time and ordered several dishes, so I didn't get a chance to take individual photos of everything. Overall, the food was good and we enjoyed our meal. The flavors were satisfying, and we didn't have any complaints about the quality. The only thing that caught us off guard was that dessert was served before the main courses. Since I was dining with my little one, he naturally wanted to eat the dessert first, which unfortunately ruined his appetite for the rest of the meal. I think it would make more sense to serve dessert after the main dishes unless customers specifically request it beforehand. read more

Used to be the old King Wah restaurant. Remodelled and the food is much better than before. We went for Dim Sum lunch on a Wednesday and were seated immediately. Weekends are much different with a likely wait for a table of four. Challenge is finding a parking space in the busy Westlake District. We had: - Fish Congee with Fried Doughnut, their version is good but expensive compared to what we've had elsewhere - Sui Mai or Pork/Shrimp Dumpling, a tasty version of four dumplings - Hom Sei Gok or Fried Meat Dumpling, a tasty version that could use more meat filling - Shrimp Noodle Roll, three rolls with two whole shrimp per roll - French Style BBQ Bun, good version with a nice crunchy top, this is a popular dish - Black Sesame Roll, a good sweet dessert to close out the lunch Overall: Good quality Dim Sum, the congee is expensive. Service is decent. Parking can be a challenge. read more

Came here for a set menu (kitchen dishes, not dim sum) with 11 people. 1.) Everything was very bland * the only dish that was good was the boiled chicken but that was only because of the ginger sauce. 2.) the service was non existent 3.) It was very overpriced There was not a single dish that I would go back for. read more

Prefer this place for Dinner over dim sum. Dinner is delicious! Tried again yesterday and every dish (had lots of vegetarian, mushroom, tofu, lamb clay pot, beef rib) was done well. Plates are large good portions for sharing family style. No cake cutting fee. I've heard from others about their service not being too great. our large group had efficient service, although I did get pushed by a waiter because I was in the way. Sorry for being in your way, that's my bad for standing in the aisle, but that was aggressive and could've been handled better. read more

I was here with family for lunar New years lunch. SUDDENLY the table across from us stood up to take photos of the CEILING. As I look up to see what the fuss was about a black MOUSE was slowly making its way across the walls. Everyone at this point, had their phones out capturing this. I lost my appetite. I definitely do not recommend y'all come here at all. STAY. AWAY. read more

Ming Yuan Restaurant - MOUSE that climbed down from the ceiling - Dim Sum Near Me - Daly City, California

5 stars for the food, less one for the ambiance. It's hard to find parking so come early to give yourself time to find parking. I heard everyone parks at Home Depot. Restaurant is clean but it's more homey than aesthetically pleasing. We had dim sum, beef chow fun and HK style, crispy noodles, chicken chow mein. The har gow, siu mai, shrimp roll, and bbq pork bun was fresh, not frozen. The chicken feet were fat and plump. The custard tarts came out near the end. The fried pumpkin was fresh and came out 10 minutes after we asked about them. Everyone ate everything so fast, I didn't have time to take pictures Food is really good. Good prices. I would come back often if I was close by. My Family agrees. read more

Ming Yuan is a hidden gem! No frills, no sparkling clean carpets, no fancy decors, no black tie service... BUT EXCELLENT FOOD AT GREAT (Cheap!) prices!!! Come on, where can you get a Live Crab, cooked Salt & Pepper style... and only for $48!?! It goes by each crab, not by the pound. And yes - you can pick out your favorite crab from the tank. ;) Their dishes are all on point on both freshness, flavors and most of all - the wok hay!! So good!! Highly recommended!!! read more

We came over to Ming Yuan after a friend of mine ended up going crabbing earlier that day, we had a few extra Crabs that needed to be cooked, and Ming Yuan will do it (of course, for a price!). We ordered a couple of items such as Honey Walnut Shrimp (Always a hit!), Roasted duck, Crab Meat and fish Maw Soup, and an extremely delicious beef rib. Every item we ate was a hit. I personally am always a fan of Honey Walnut Shrimp, and as I said earlier, a superb hit! The service was quick, we walked in and the table was ready for us, handed them the crab and asked us how we'd like it cooked, after a few minutes of choosing a few more items, the food slowly came out, it wasn't an extremely busy night, about half the tables were empty which isn't abnormal for a regular Monday Night. It was a nice and pleasant ambiance, and there was a group in the back having a birthday party, and even though we were right behind them, they were not loud at all. The stars of the shows that came out were the 4 crabs that we had cooked, and wow, they were delicious! With a table of 7 and 2 kids, we could barely finish all the food, but did enough! We boxed everything up, had desert and paid the bill, definitely a great place to come to for dinner! read more

We've been here before and it was decent, but this last time, it was mediocre at best. Maybe we ordered wrong? Or they changed chefs? And on top of that, there was a 15 minute wait for a table on a Thursday afternoon. And we thought waiting meant good food! Unfortunately, NOT! I'll start with the good and work my way down. ***OUR PICKS*** FRESH SHRIMP CREPES ~ these were ok. The crepes weren't thin though, but you get some good jumbo shrimp. 4/5 PAN FRIED RICE NOODLES ~ This was filled with eggplant and pork. We should have marked which one we wanted as they had 3 options. They just gave us the first option. This was good, however the noodles on top were quite oily to get it crisp. 3/5 BEEF CREPES ~ average crepes with typical smooth beef filling that's like a paste. 3.5/5 BEAN CURD SKIN ROLL ~ didn't taste fresh and the shrimp was a bit hard. 2/5 FLAKY EGG TARTS ~ tiny egg tarts with barely any custard! It was sunken and when I bit into the tart, it was kind of wet on the bottom. The crust was definitely flaky, but the custard was lacking and had a sour note. Probably one of the worst egg tarts I've had. Thankfully, my stomach took it ok. 1/5 BLACK SESAME ROLLS ~ this one tasted store bought from the freezer aisle. Just didn't taste fresh. 2/5 When dessert ends your meal with a bad taste in your mouth, it just ruins the whole experience. Sorry to say, this might be our last time here. read more

An early b'day dinner for my wife and my mom, we crammed around a round table and ordered a set menu and added an order of Peking Style Pork Chop. We had: BBQ Combo Platter - 4 - decent Sauteed Dual Seafood w/ Yellow Chives - 3 - scallops had no flavor Sauteed Beef Fillet & Mixed Mushrooms - 5 - best dish of the night Bamboo Pith & Seafood Soup - 4 - not fans of pith but soup was hot Sea Cucumber w/ Mushroom & Pea Sprout - 3 - Sea Cucumbers had no flavor; pea sprouts were tender Whole Peking Duck w/ Buns - 3 - not much meat; decent buns Fresh Dual Lobsters w/ Ginger & Scallion - 3 - small lobsters Steamed Live Fish - 2 - worse case of fish prep ever, some organs were still inside the fish. E-Fu Noodle w/ Yellow Chives & Mushrooms - 2 - enough chives to see, not to taste Peking Style Pork Chop - 4 - second best dish of the night (Desserts) Red Bean Soup - 3 Almond Cookies - 3 Sesame Cookies - 3 Definitely a good variety of food but the value simply wasn't there. read more

Sadly, this visit to Ming Yuan, we were here for a funeral meal. The food was tasty, but the portions were on the small side. The whole steamed fish was especially nice, as was the sweet and sour pork. The service was very good while dining at the restaurant, but there were apparently some hiccups while making the arrangements. Bottom line is you need to speak Cantonese when requesting things out of the norm(?) like the special funeral menu and to possibly open the doors earlier for your event. We were seated in a private room in back. There is not much of an ambiance in either the back room or the main room, minus the small koi pond at the entrance. It's kings dingy and grubby feeling in there, the way all older Chinese restaurants seem to be. I thought the food was solid. I think uncle would have thought so too. read more

This place was a unexpected spot for me, I've walked past it a bunch of times but never stopped. Come to find out a friend hits this spot all the time was his family. He made it clear we needed to get in there. First off the fried rice was on point, chow fun fry was pretty good too. I also took a chance on the fried pumpkin (hella good) & salt and pepper wings was hella good too. Take your family to this place read more

Update: The restaurant has been shut down by San Mateo County Environmental Health Services due to rodent problems. The food quality has been deteriorating. We gave the Ming Yuan restaurant a few chances by going there a few times more and also giving benefit of doubt. However, this restaurant has disappointed us greatly. The dim sum dishes (stuffed Eggplants and Bean Curd Skin Roll) we ordered turned out to be sour and stale taste, indicating the ingredients used are not fresh and maybe rotten. I asked the restaurant manager that their food quality control in the kitchen needs to be improved. The restaurant manager indicated that he did tell the kitchen about our problems. Even with that, the kitchen has been serving stale and unfresh dishes without improvement. I told the restaurant manager that they need to improve because we had been loyal customers, and that if they don't, we will not be going back to Ming Yuan. You know what the manager said? He said, if we don't want to go back to the restaurant, then go ahead and be it! He sounded that he doesn't care at all. Let me tell you, Ming Yuan restaurant owner and management, your bad (unfresh and spoiled) food can make people sick. You must improve. Don't wait until someone report MIng Yuan to San Mateo County Environmental Health Services about the spoiled food. read more

They open at 10:30am and it is packed with people. Whole party needs to be present to be seated. If you go on a weekend be prepared to wait at least an hour to get seated. Waitress will hand you a number and you have to wait to be called, if you miss your number they will move on to the next party. We had a total of 8 people in our party. Food was fresh, hot, and flavorful. Recommendations - All the rice rolls were delicious! Shrimp was full of plump shrimp. Beef was soft, tender, full of meat. BBQ pork was also packed with meat with very good flavor. Fried donut was standard but Iike that they give soy sauce on side so it doesn't get soggy - Spareribs very meaty and full of flavor - Chicken feet also very flavorful and it was soft and tender - Shanghai dumplings are plump, meaty, and full of soup - BBQ pork buns had a very nice bread crust and filling was tasty What I wouldn't order again - Shrimp Dumpling, comes with three and missing the snap that you get then you bite into it - Beef Noodle Soup, very plain with not enough beef and alot of rice noodles - Taro Dumplings, very dense and not enough filling Another con is that because they are so busy you feel rushed to eat and leave so it's hard to sit and enjoy your meal. Very loud in the restaurant as well. Wait staff is also not very attentive since they were so packed and we had to flag multiple waiters to get ice water refills, extra napkins, and hot water refills for our tea. I would come here again but maybe on a weekday where there isn't as much of a crowd. As we waited a lot of people left to go elsewhere because they were deterred by the long wait. read more

Had an early Christmas dinner here with family. We were at two tables in the back separate room. We did the banquet menu for $538 for 10 people. There was a lot of good seafood in the menu so price seemed fairly good for what you get. Service was typical, not amazing but not terrible. Food came out really quickly, but then the dessert took a while for some reason. Other than that, no complaints. Loved all the food. The parking can be tough here, but there is residential parking nearby; it just gets full sometimes too. read more

This year for Thanksgiving, we decided to eat chicken instead of turkey. It was a great decision to purchase from Ming yuan. Their roasted chicken is perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The flavor of the soy sauce chicken is very fragrant, not just straight up soy sauce flavor. The chicken they use is the Asian type where it's leaner and has less breast meat. It was very well executed! read more

I've been here multiple times with large group my family (~16 adults) . We typically have two tables and we order the 10 set special. There were times where the items tasted great, but other times somewhat bland. It's not very consistent. It's good for large group, but the inconsistency deters me to come back unless grandma specifically request this place. Parking in the area may take time to find, but there's always a few on Crestwood Drive. read more

IMHO 5 Stars for delicious dim sum! Dim sum is excellent! Hot, tasty, and nice portion size. The French Baked BBQ buns are amazing!!! We ordered two extra orders to-go! 3 stars for service. One item was forgotten from our order, and it took a long time for it to finally arrive, at which time, we just packed it up to-go. 1 star for bathroom cleanliness. It looked as though no one had cleaned it for days. As I was using the facilities (after choosing the best of the worst, I heard a lady come in, step into one stall, and gasped! She chose not to stay...) Before I left the restaurant, I made it a point to tell the front desk that the restrooms were in need of a cleaning...) Will I return? Yes, but I won't use the bathrooms. read more

Food and service was great. Parking was a little difficult but worth it. Will be back again soon.

Great food, good price. Good value on most of their items. Very authentic. One of my top five Tim spots in San Francisco.

Wanted to try a different location that serves Chinese food. We went for dinner. It seemed to have a couple big tables considering it was a Thursday. We ordered: Pork belly clay pot, steam egg, beef, oxtail clay pot, vegetable dish, tofu with mushroom and vegetable, noodle dish, and roasted chicken. My favorite was : pork belly clay pot, steam egg, tofu dish , beef and the roasted chicken. Yummy. It got mom's thumbs up. So I would definitely go back maybe try their dim sum. read more

Ordered three items delivered: Shrimp stuffed eggplant Pork//preserved egg congee Deep fried shrimp balls I was expecting eggplant rounds with minced shrimp but surprisingly this was eggplant sections stuffed with whole shrimps. Interesting and tasty but a little bit too oily for my taste. The congee rice was bland which is the way I like it. It had lots of bits of chicken, egg, and mushroom for contrasting flavor. Good but a small portion. The three large deep fried shrimp balls had a generous crispy coating. Enjoyable. Overall good meal... read more

My first time eating dim sum here. I would give it 3-1/2 Stars. We had a casual get together with 6 tables so I really do not know what the name of each dim sum dish was so guessed at the name of the dishes but the food was all decent. Service was good and atmosphere felt comfortable and clean. We would probably give it another try if we are in the area. read more

I have been coming to Ming Yuan periodically since 2012. I currently live a short 3min drive from this establishment. I have seen it undergo multiple renovations since. Within the restaurant appears much more modern with a warm-cozy feeling with the new white/grey tiled walls with yellow painted posts. I personally don't come here for the "dim sum" portion eg. your typical steamed dim sums dishes like ha gow, shiu mai, beef tripe, or beef balls etc. Not to say they are bad here, but they get redundant really fast. I came here with just my mom. Below is what we ordered. Crispy brown rice crepe: 5/5, I typically rotate with these or the beef crepes. These are a must try if you've never had before. Essentially its a deep fried dry bean curd skin roll w/ shrimp wrapped with your typical rice crepe. Unsure what makes the crepe purple, however the qq texture of the crepe paired with the crispiness of the deep fried bean curd roll compliment each other so well. Salt and pepper tofu cubes: 5/5, usually it comes freshly deep fried after you order. They've got great black pepper flavor. So refreshing. Rice noodle HK style with minced pork with preserved vegetables: 5/5, This is a MUST try at any Dim Sum establishment. I personally love the sour + savoriness from the preserved vegetables; theres so much depth in flavor coupled with the crispy rice noodle pieces. There are many ways to order this dish eg chasiu, seafood, chicken, etc, make sure you tell them you want minced pork (yok si) WITH preserved vegetables (suan cai) Salted egg yolk bun (Milky custard buns H08): 5/5, perfect dessert to finish the meal. The buns are so soft and pillowy. Make sure to eat these right away. I find the most joy eating these when I split them down the middle, exposing the runny lava goodness. Caution as it is often extremely hot. Must try. They also offer a wide range of teas. I personally like oolong or jasmine green tea. Fair warning, some of the waiters may be rude, but honestly that comes with any Chinese establishment; please don't take it personally. read more

Our family has visited this place from time to time, from weekday quick dim-sum lunch to takeouts on Saturday to occasional dinner. Their baked BBQ pork bun is the best in this area!! I do think their siu mai, steamed beef balls, har gow, steamed spare ribs, chicken feet, sticky rice & chicken with lotus leaf are fairly standard for dim sum restaurant at this price point. Another highlight, in their dim sum menu, is the rice crepe (aka "cheung fun"). They definitely nail it. Their deep fried doughnut wrapped in crepes don't only have the fried doughnut... but the fried doughnut is stuffed with shrimp paste before it's rolled with the rice crepes. The beef cheung fun, BBQ pork cheung fun, and the shrimp cheung fun are always our favorites to order. The crepe was silky smooth and the thickness is just right :) Their deep fried meat dumplings is also my personal favorite. The crispy wheat and glutinous shell is just spot on and the sweetness from the shell is just perfect with the savory minced meat filling! Service might not be the most attentive, especially during the busy time, but I think it's fairly standard for a typical Chinese restaurant though. They will refill your tea pot timely when they see you put the lid up. They bring out the food quickly. Just don't expect them to do small talk with you throughout the time. Their BBQ section is underrated. The deep fried squab and their roasted pork belly are the underrated item. And I love their roasted duck and BBQ pork - they are my go-to take outs whenever I have to do a potluck! I do keep this at a 5-star rating because the quality of food has been very consistent - we have visited this place before COVID, during COVID (including ordering take-outs), and even after COVID. And I've ordered takeout from them so many times (I've done ordering via Doordash or directly over the phone) - I haven't received a missing/wrong order from them at all! Parking tip: try to find parking behind the restaurant on a busy weekend morning. You can even park next to the library. But if you have a hard time finding parking (especially now there's a construction nearby), just park at the parking lot in front of Home Depot and walk over there instead of trying to find a parking spot in the middle of Westlake apartment. read more

After a really bad experience at another restaurant in the Sunset we decided to give this one in Daly City a try. Located not far from Westlake Mall, it's located on top of a hill, alongside other businesses. The parking situation is a little complicated, still; however, there is plenty of parking space around the restaurant, just not immediately within the vicinity. This used to be a King Wah, which was a BIG staple of my childhood -- but I'm glad to see that it became a better version of that restaurant and renamed as well. This restaurant definitely had the capacity to seat big parties like our family function, which we had 11 people. Here's how our experience went at this restaurant -- keep in mind that I did put our experiences over the rest of the reviews that I saw online: Food: 8/10 I'd recommend getting the party combos for 11 people since it's actually more than enough to feed everybody. A little bit more on the expensive side, but a very smart financial decision when eating with so many people. We got the $498 combo which consisted of 10 to 11 different dishes -- one of them being BBQ Combo Platter, Bamboo Pith & Seafood Soup, and more. The BBQ platter left my taste palates wanting more honestly. The highlight would probably have to be the whole Peking duck that we got -- alongside the sea cucumber with mushrooms and pea sprouts. The texture was spongy and saucy and honestly, with the amount given to us, I can't complain about it. What blew me away was the dessert: not only was it red bean soup, but it was also typical dim sum items that we didn't really expect to be part of the menu. With a sponge cake and egg custard buns. Service: 9.5/10 The service given to us was pretty superb -- it was very responsive and we really appreciate it a lot. Despite the fact that there were 11 people in our group, they did everything in their might to make sure that our experience was a good one, and that we had a spectacular time. The fact that we didn't have to wait for the big table meant a significant amount to us, and the professionalism that the waitresses and the owner treated us with respect, integrity, and made us also feel like family at home. Atmosphere: 7/10 Given that this restaurant was on a hillside, I'm not gonna blame the restaurant, but it was a little tight in terms of space. It was hard to get in and get out from the tables, and while I had appreciated that the service was superb, the patrons around us were not as nice, and also lacked manners. We had told several tables several times to mind their own business, of which I had to talk to them in a very condescending manner. Overall, the community around Daly City is nice, but just be aware of people who will act like buttholes. read more

Located in Daly City, Ming Yuan is right next to a shopping plaza, and a long a street with a ton of other restaurants. When you walk in in the morning for dim sum, you'll find that it's bustling and lively! All of the dim sum dishes cost about $7 -$10, and so it can add up quickly if you're ordering a lot. However, the tea is good, and the dim sum is pretty high quality and tasty! If you're looking for an authentic dim sum experience, you can't go wrong with this restaurant! read more

The short description for this yelp page is so accurate. This place IS known for its salted egg yolk pumpkin. I'm an avid chicken cartilage fan and they have a salted egg yolk pumpkin with chicken cartilage dish that is my favorite so far. It's not that great overnight but amazing when fresh! This place is one of our go-to places for dim sum when we want to stay close to SF (compared to the other dim sum locations by the airport.) Their duck is also 10/10 but you should order it the minute you sit down because it takes up to 45 minutes to make it. The dim sum itself is good but average. This place came a long way ever since the King Wah days. Nevertheless, do come for the first round of dim sum or make reservations for dinner ahead of time. read more

On Wednesday we celebrated our friend's belated birthday. Actually she chose Ming Yuan for her birthday lunch. Southgate Avenue was hard to park on the street. Just lucky chance we saw one with 2 hours parking. They were busy at lunch but we were able to get our table for three. I remember my friend celebrated her 70th birthday here in a private room. We ordered Jasmine tea for drink. We can see the tank with different fish ready to be caught, cooked and served. We ordered dim sum from the menu. We had Fresh Shrimp Crepes, Pan Fried Pork Buns with Veggies, Shrimp Stuffed Eggplant, Crispy Taro Meat Turnover, Sautéed Chinese Broccoli with Oyster Sauce, Supreme Soy sauce Chow Mein, Fried Stuffed Bean Curd & Deep Fried Shrimp Balls. We were surprised we finished the flavorful dim sum. One friend asked for a candle & stuck on the pork bun. We sang the birthday friend a happy birthday song. The birthday friend ordered dim sum to go for her son. The staff were pleasant. Now we said we shall return. read more
