We went for dim sum on a Saturday. There was about a 25 minute wait. Positives: 1. Tripe super yummy 2. Filling in salted egg yolk bao was fair quantity 3. The piggy face on the bao are cute 4. Other dishes were also solid Negatives: 1. The waiter misheard something we ordered and they did not correct it. 2. The minion bao did not have the proper decorations. It did not look like a minion. 3. The durian swans do not taste like they use real durian. The flavor is not there, and there is no stringiness that real durian has. It's also really overpriced. 4. Some dishes took really long. 20+ minutes read more

Solid spot for dim sum in Malden! We can for an early lunch right after New Years and good thing we came early as the restaurant became packed soon after. Got a large variety of dim sum items and it all came out pretty quickly. My favorites were the chicken feet, tripe, shrimp and chive dumplings and salty egg yolk charcoal lava bun! The steamed tripe was super flavorful in a ginger onion sauce and all the shrimp items were really great with plenty of filling. We got both the regular steamed salty egg yolk lava buns and the charcoal one and I have to say, you gotta get the charcoal buns as the filling is way more flavorful and has that runny, ooey gooey texture I love! Parking can be tricky in downtown Malden but there is a parking lot in the back or metered street parking if you can find a space. read more

Adding Nov 2025 menu. Beef Chow Fun is still great. Asked them to include some veggies. Requested less oil and less salt - they did a good job on that. Fried Rice with Diced Chicken and Salty Fish is great! read more

Metered parking is available just outside the restaurant (free on Sundays iirc). There is also a paid parking area. The restaurant can validate your ticket. It's quite a spacious restaurant with lots of seating. We came here for dimsum twice during our trip to Boston and I think the quality/taste varies dramatically. The first time, the food was not it for me. Of course, this all depends on your palette but everything was VERY salty to me - to the point where I could not eat anything. I'd take a bite to try and then I'd have to give the rest to my partner. I've never been so hungry at a dimsum place! My stomach was growling even though we had so much food on the table. :( The second time, the food was decent - as in not on the salty side. Still, I didn't necessarily think it was anything special. read more

Was never alerted if food had arrived. Asked for contact delivery. Didn't receive food. Don't know how the food was. Poor communication.

The portions are huge and there are a lot of options. The dim sum is hot and tasty. No carts. Waitstaff bring out everything at once...not great when you order a lot because the food gets cold quick. The restaurant is big and they host a lot of weddings. Plenty of parking (parking lot). read more

This place is worth the drive and looking for street parking. Everything we tried was delicious. Service was great - we were seated within 10 minutes on a very busy Sunday morning. Service was fast and not rushed. At the end we tried 8 items and had hot tea and our bill was $67 before gratuity. Place can be noisy but it's because people are chatting, smiling and eating. We will be back! read more

It's our first time at this location. It's in a busy street so parking can be annoying. We were lucky to find one close to the restaurant. When we walked inside it was bright, clean, and very spacious. Our waiter was nice but it was hard to understand him. The service was fast pace and our food arrived pretty fast. We ordered a variety of dishes and we had to pack most of it to go. The dishes were a hit and miss due to lack of flavor. We really enjoyed the salt & pepper wings, bbq steam pork buns, chicken feet, & beef rice rolls. The beef stir fry with gravy, egg rolls, & chicken fried rice were bland. read more

I came here once with a few friends and we were able to get seating right away. it was a Sunday AM, so I was surprised we didn't have to wait long to get in! I've been to a lot of dim sum places before so my benchmark is quite high. I thought the food was just okay in my opinion. Each dish was too salty for me and nothing wowed me. We ordered these dessert jellies which the menu called them "dessert rabbits" and had the expectation the jellies would be shaped like a bunny since that's what the photo showed and the name of the item menu said, they brought it out cubed. I felt slightly deceived by that. The food came out pretty fast though and the service was fine! This place was a bit out of the way for me, so I'm not sure if I would be keen on coming back. read more

Pretty good! Food came out fast and fresh, a large assortment of dim sum to choose from, and plentiful street parking nearby. If you come during lunch hours on the weekend, be prepared to wait and share a table with strangers. Our group of five was quoted a 25-30 minute wait but our number was called before then. We ended up in a private room off to the side but never felt neglected - our waiter came by to take our orders and check in on us. Favorites: the shrimp dumplings (nice fat shrimp filling), the fried tofu with shrimp paste. Not so favorite: the spare ribs (very oily and too much cartilage/bone, making it tough to chew. My jaw got a good workout from one of these). Things I miss having at dim sum: - Grouchy old ladies pushing carts around and shouting whatever they have at you. - The little plates of mustard and chili oil they pass out at the beginning. They had chili sauce out of a jar but it tasted kind of off to me and not very flavorful. read more

This Ming's is the sister restaurant of the one in Quincy and they even have the same menu. There is meter parking or you can park at the parking lot across the street. On my most recent visit, I came here for takeout dim sum the other day. I ordered their Hao Gaw, Shui Mai, and Beef Meatballs which were all good and came with a good portion. The only downside was I was quoted 15 minutes, but the food took over 30 minutes to be ready for pickup and I only ordered 3 items. The ambiance inside is more of a moderm dim sum restaurant, it's not run down like some other places. Overall, this is my go to spot for dim sum when I'm in Malden. read more

As I was posting some photos from dim sum today, I noticed I didn't post a review for over seven years here. Good news the food is still fabulous. I believe this is one of the most popular places for Sunday dim sum. Just an FYI, they do serve dim sum every day. They transferred over to ordering from a photographic menu rather than the standard pushcart and choosing as you go. I'm still up in the air. which way I prefer I really like when the carts come around and they open up a steamer, you can smell the different aromas from all the different foods and you can decide on the spot what you want rather than choosing off the menu which is a little bit more fun. Anyway, I was there with my daughter and her boyfriend so just three of us. I think I went a little overboard. I ordered 13 orders for three people. I'm telling you the management must've loved us, anyways everything was fantastic. A couple little highlights I would like to point out, the chicken feet are the best in the greater Boston area and I would definitely suggest that you try. I'm also partial to the stuffed eggplant and the congee of course I go with the pork and the preserved egg. One of the top vegetables I would suggest the shoots, the Peapod shoots. I like mine with oyster sauce ask for extra, you will need it. This is a little bit different than the average dim sum spot around town. This is a function hall. It's extremely fancy. Today there was an Asian wedding going on and the bride and groom were dressed in ancestral wedding outfits. It was a lot of fun. The staff seem to handle the wedding as well as all the other outsiders who just came for dim sum. Everything went smoothly for the two hours I was in the restaurant. I would like to mention the young woman at the front desk, calling out the numbers and taking your name for tables seemed to get a little bit confused because for about 20 minutes, she kept telling me I was fourth and they called a few other tables then I just happened to peek over her shoulder and I saw her scratching out my number and someone else went into that seat so of course I had to question her. She gave me a new number and told me oh oh your next. I went with the flow and about five minutes later I did get a table but that equaled out to a one hour wait. I did see some people arrive much later than I and sat before me, so I will be questioning that. Thats why the review is four stars rather than five, other than that the food is top-notch. The service is top-notch and it's a very pleasant place to dine. I would highly advise trying this place out. If you haven't been it's worth checking it out you'll be pleased. FYI, sometimes it is a little difficult to park in that neighborhood, but there is a parking lot in the garage up the street and around the corner. read more

This place is the worst dim sum I ever had. The highest price and lowest quality. The claims were raw and fishy. We spent $155 for two people. All the dishes tasted the same, tasteless and plain. We will never go there again. The worst experience. read more

Always a solid spot for dimsum in the Malden area - definitely somewhere I'd recommend! Came here for brunch on a Sunday morning and we were here right at opening so of course we didn't have an issue finding a seat. It felt like your typical dimsum spot with the white tablecloths and bustling environment. They have a good variety of dimsum dishes and the portions felt relatively fair - we left very full and had a great time. Service was what you'd expect from a Chinese restaurant so not fantastic, but efficient and relatively solid. I definitely would come back in the future for dimsum again! read more

A solid option for classic/staple Chinese food and large portions for large groups. Decently priced. Ample seating. Staff were attentive. They allowed us to order mapo tofu even though it wasn't even on the menu! Next to a lot of boba shops so it is easy to get a sweet treat after. read more

Large portions! Did not expect the fish to be so thin and skinny so it felt mostly like eating fried stick. But good flavor still! The duck wasn't super tender but was decent amount and the mushrooms were great bc they soaked up all the flavor The rice was classic, can't go wrong w fried rice, lots of things in it so also pretty tasty Waiters were quick and served the food p fast after ordering (but also restaurant wasn't too packed when we went) Inside is large and fancy vibes, big tables = room for lots of food and lots of ppl :) read more

I thought Ming's at the Malden location was pretty good. We came in on a weekday for a late lunch with also a large party. The restaurant can accommodate many large parties. I thought the food was pretty solid--we ordered a mix of dim sum items and traditional Chinese plates. Some notable pics I've took to share was the lobster which tasted fresh and the sauce was great. The server did bring out the live lobsters to share with us of what they were offering. As for the some of the dim sum items we had, no complaints there. Had a friend that use to live around the Malden area and he said this was one of his favorite dim sum places around the Boston area. Service was actually pretty nice--the server wasn't too stressed and staff was attentive on our party if we needed anything. What's truly a bust at this location though is parking.... There ain't much--even when we visited on a weekday. I can only imagine this restaurant being crazy for parking on weekends. read more

This is very similar if not the exact same as the one they have in Quincy. It's very spacious and the staff are as dim sum staff are. The food here is again one of the best dim sum places in Boston. Much better than Hei La Moon. No complaints about any of the dim sum I've had. I do think the Siu Mai here is one of the biggest I've seen. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who likes dim sum and is looking to satisfy a craving. read more

Ming's Seafood Restaurant - Dim Sum - Dim Sum Near Me - Malden, Massachusetts

This is a pretty solid spot to get dim sum especially if you don't want to venture into Boston Chinatown! The restaurant is massive with ample seating. I like how their dim sum isn't greasy, although it was pricier than how much I'd pay for a similar amount of food at Chinatown spots (around $40/person). I came here on a weekend in a group of 3 and was seated immediately. Like others have mentioned, the dim sum menu doesn't show any prices so we just ordered whatever we were feeling and hoped it wouldn't cost an arm and a leg at the end. Some of the dishes were pretty standard like the steamed BBQ pork buns or the salted egg yolk lava buns. I wasn't the biggest fan of the pan fried pork buns or the steamed rice rolls. The shrimp dumplings were interesting because they keep the shrimp in larger chunks instead of making a paste. The shrimp dumplings and chive dumplings had a very strong sesame oil flavor to them. We also decided to get some stir-fried pea shoots and their beef chow fun. The pea shoots were super fresh although a little underseasoned so we had to ask for extra oyster sauce on the side. The beef chow fun was one of the better dishes we tried that day-- full of wok hei and packed with meat! There are some spots in Boston Chinatown that I love too much to incorporate Ming's into my dim sum rotation, but if I'm ever getting dim sum with a large group I'd come here. read more

It was a beautiful fall Sunday, and my sister and I decided to take our 91-year-old father out for dim sum at Ming's Seafood Restaurant in Malden. My sister went to pick up our parents, while my husband and I arrived at the restaurant early to secure a table. At the time, there was only one party ahead of us. Since my father has great difficulty walking, his leg is very weak and he cannot stand for long, I politely asked the hostess if we could be seated at a table closer to the door to minimize his walking. She ignored my request and simply responded, "Tell me when everyone is here." As we waited, several groups who arrived after us were seated at tables closer to the entrance. My request was completely disregarded. I approached the hostess a second time, hoping to explain again, but she impatiently repeated, "Tell me when everyone is here," in a dismissive tone. When my parents arrived, there was no table available obviously. We had to find a chair for my father to sit while waiting. Instead of offering any help, the hostess rudely told us, "You need to move so other people can walk." Her attitude toward us was extremely upsetting and completely lacking in basic courtesy and empathy, especially considering our father's age and mobility challenges. This experience sadly has left a very negative impression. We will not be returning to this restaurant again. read more

It's Chinese new year so of course there's a wait list. They asked if we'd like to share a table, and we were hungry and didn't care so we said yes. Probably 15 minutes later we were sat down along with two other small parties. I said hi just to be friendly but I guess they didn't want to be bothered. Anyway, a lot of our friends and family liked this place so we gave it a try. I'm not too keen on dim sum because it's just too greasy for a breakfast, but I was strangely craving it so here we are. And let me tell you, SO FREAKING GOOD. And I'm saying that as someone who would avoid dim sum. I would've ordered seconds if I wasn't full. Tbh I should've ordered some to go. We got 3 orders of shumai (all for my husband), minion buns (custard filled), chicken feet, rice rolls with shrimp, and rice rolls with bbq pork. Let me tell you, we devoured that in almost the same time it took for us to wait to be seated because it was just so good. Like the group of girls next to us probably ordered the same amount but they weren't even halfway done when we finished. And the group of guys ordered more food than us and had barely started on their huge plates. (Tbh we had a strong urge to ask them for some bc their food looked so mouth watering LOL) They ordered like salt and pepper anchovies and beef chow foon and ugh it looked so good. Next time for sure I'm going with a big group of family bc I want to try a lot more. The custard buns were so soft and cute and the custard was the perfect amount of sweetness. The chicken feet were so savory and I was debating on ordering another one. The rice rolls plus a little bit of chili oil is perfection. I want to eat dim sum there again ASAP! read more

One of my staples for dim sum. Definitely recommend going right when it opens because it gets super packed after 10:30. The place is large with lots of tables to accommodate everyone but still super busy.

Staying in Quincy and, of course, made it a dim sum adventure. Went to this place and also the New Winsor down the street. Ming's only has dim sum until 3pm. I would definitely go back. The dishes are very good. Probably the best sui mai I've had. Like most others mention, the only bad thing is the service. Terrible and rude. Wendy was on the name tag of the waitress that served us. I don't understand how someone who depends on tips would act like this. Wouldn't it make sense to be a little nicer or attentive? You'd maybe get better tips? No hello, no good-bye and nothing in between. You had to flag her down for everything, and when you asked for anything, she would come over, drop it on the table and walk away. You're lucky you got 10% Wendy. You didn't deserve it. One other thing I'll mention about this place and many other dim sum places I've visited in Boston. When customers sit down to dim sum, it is courtous for the waiter/waitress to pour your first cup of tea, to the older folks first out of respect. You then return the appreciation by tapping with your fingers on the tablecloth. It is part of the ritual. Once most places notice that you're not Asian, they just drop the tea pot down on the table and walk away. As if we don't deserve the same respect or courtesy. I find this rude. They wouldn't dare do that to elderly Chinese customers, so why us? read more

Food 4/5 We got beef meatballs, shrimp rice noodles, Chinese broccoli, chicken feet, and egg tarts. Everything was well-executed and tasty. Service 2/5 We found plastic trash in one of our dish--the Chinese broccoli. Not a big deal, but it was brought to the waitress' attention. To my surprise, she did nothing to relieve my concern. I thought in this type of situation she would tell the kitchen and they would remove the dish from our check, provide a discount, or replace the dish. Since none of these actions were taken, I decided not to tip. At the end of the meal, she confronted me about it in front of my friends, making us very uncomfortable. I hope management can understand why a customer would choose not to tip in this situation. If proper response had been provided, things would've been different. I regret having this bad experience at a business with good food. Regretfully, I will not likely return. Ambiance 5/5 Good. Large dining room, spacious. Street parking may be difficult to find. read more

Best dim sum experience I've had in a while in Boston! Now my new favorite place to go to when craving my favorite Cantonese breakfast carbs haha. The place is very nice, spacious, clean, and organized. Compared to other older dim sum spots in boston, this place doesn't feel outdated. It bright, well-lit, and lively. It gets pretty busy early weekend mornings, which means service can also be slow at that time. Highly recommend coming on weekdays between 11am-2pm and it's less packed. The food is amazing and tasty! Everything is so well stuffed and filling. Their veggies are yummy as well! Highly recommend coming to Ming's if you're ever craving dim sum! read more

I was treated to Dim Sum by some Chinese friends and was open to eat anything and everything! I enjoyed a new-to-me jelly fish dish nestled on a marinaded bed of carrots and daikon, and I loved the flavor and textures of both. Such a fun dining experience and the place was hopping! You know a place is good when the tables are filled with locals! I consumed most of a pot of delicious jasmine tea! I was eager to try the mango dessert pudding but was disappointed to learn they'd run out. I'd go back many times to eat my way across the menu. read more

We came for dim sum per friends' recommendation. We were glad we tried. The Restaurant is neat inside. Instead of having food carts, we were asked to order off a dim sum menu. The menu came in Chinese and English and with pictures. I think it is extremely helpful. They also offer some special items that I don't usually see at other dim Sum Places. The food was super delicious and not too salty. The price was reasonable. My only complaint was wait time. First of all, there was a long line of waiting. So, be prepared to wait for 30+ min during peak time or share a table with strangers if you want to shorten the wait time.... And it took long time for our food to be ready. Also, the servers were not attentive at all and never came to our table to check on us except taking our order. And we had to call out for him to get the check. So, one star deducted for poor service. read more

We went to Mings on a Saturday afternoon around 12 pm. I would say definitely get there earlier if you can, wait was around 30 minutes and it was chaotic as a whole. But once we were seated I would say the food came out pretty fast and were large pieces of dim sum! The price for dim sum was NOT written Ont he menu which is so suspicious imo? Wouldn't be surprised if they can easily change up the prices on you. The food itself was very good and our waiter was nice. Each dish was a between 5.45-6.35. The food itself was pretty good, the rice rolls with shrimp was our favorite. read more

Ming's Seafood Restaurant - Steamed Plain Rice rolls with shrimp, sui mai, eggplant with black bean sauce, bean curd shrimp balls - Dim Sum Near Me - Malden, Massachusetts

We came on a weekend around 2pm for dim sum, so an hour before dim sum ended so my exceptions were low. They ran out of some dishes, but it made sense since we came near the end. We ordered chicken feet, siu mai, har kau, salt & pepper calamari, steamed rice rolls (shrimp, beef and fried dough), pan fried noodles with XO sauce, and chinese broccoli with oyster sauce. Some dishes were good. Some dishes came out cold when it's a hot dish, and there was barely any oyster sauce on the chinese broccoli. Their chili oil is good too. It is a bit pricey for dim sum. The decor is nice and has a good amount of tables. Parking can be difficult sometimes, but there is street parking, parking garages and parking lots are around. It is near Malden Station (red line). read more

Good food and friendly service, convenient parking garage nearby. Salt and pepper calamari was great.

Weirdly they don't list prices for the dim sum, and even when we asked they just said "everything's priced differently". Food quality was okay by Boston standard, though I suspect they use store bought puff pastry for the 叉燒酥. Now comes the worst part...they charge $2.25 per person for tea, even if you just have water!! And they don't disclose that up front--is that even legal?? They kept pressuring us to pay, and rudely tapped at the receipt and demanded us to sign, even after we said we need a moment. This totally ruined our dining experience. read more

What a solid Chinatown alternative. This place does a very nice dim sum (hidden prices on that menu) and offers unlimited many tasty options. We got some of the dishes my wife misses from not being in SF (and not wanting to fight out way into Chinatown dodging door dash double Parker's and all) and they were all done nicely. We prefer our chow fun a bit different than theirs but it was still good. The veggies were good and the sweet stuff (like the walnut roll) is all yummy too. Very spacious, clean, nice bathrooms and nice servers. We plan to go back and will hopefully add more to my review. read more
