    An unusual cactus looking fruit that had a lot of seeds

    well compared to most buffets this is new parking of course is easy to find since it's close to Walmart. Originally I was going to go to smoque ribs on Pulaski and Avondale but then I'm on a budget since I have no work and what do you know it's on by me that Chinese buffets can give you all you can eat for less although it's not going to be as good quality as eating at a true rib place. Anyways to me the ribs I had both the pork and the beef they were decent. They weren't the best ribs but I had a craving for ribs. Despite all the other cuisines on this buffet I didn't go for all of them I just cared for the ribs mainly. I did go for the broccoli from the chicken broccoli as well as the sauteed mushrooms which I always love. Also for tamago scrambled egg sushi but it was not good. The sushi selection did not seem appetizing. The rice on that tamago sushi was very dry and not sticky. Wasn't even decent. Ask for the dessert the Swiss roll cakes were good the cream puff was disappointing as it was dry. They had this cactus looking fruit that was full of seeds and I was curious and she called it tuna? really the name of the fruit is called tuna it looks like a cactus but I don't know I didn't like it it's too seedy like a pomegranate. Ambience seen very clean since it was fairly new than most Chinese buffets. A little pricey even on a Tuesday for $19.99 for one person that includes the tax I did not give gratitudeity I don't believe in gratitudeity in the buffet. Service in regards to one of the staff members cleaning the washroom took them quite a while and I had to wash my hands since I ate ribs. Overall three stars usually but I do give them credit for them keeping clean the facilities and it doesn't look outdated. Even the bathroom.

    I will begin here, I meant to write my review after my initial visit. I missed buffet locations. The service is top notch, very friendly staff. The food is delicious, plenty to choose from, shrimp, fish, orange chicken, rice and more. The soup and salads are good. There is a cold food bar, if you like sushi and more. I recall this place opening in Hall Plaza. It didn't disappoint. The lunch menu is offered on Saturday which is rare at a decent price. Plenty of seating, comfortable chairs and a comfortable ambiance. I am glad I stopped in. I will be back soon. Thank you for the experience.

First time…read morebringing the kids, first time introducing them to dim sum, and we came in hot on a busy day with multiple events happening in the area. MingHin was packed, loud, and a little chaotic. Worth it. Dim sum is an experience as much as a meal and MingHin delivers on both fronts. We ordered more than we could keep track of. Soup dumplings that immediately became the kids' personal obsession. Shu mai that hit every time. BBQ pork buns in every form they offered because obviously. Chinese broccoli to balance out the indulgence. Everything was solid, fresh, and exactly what you want from a dim sum spread. The room was packed and buzzing but the service kept up impressively. Servers were constantly circling, clearing empty plates and dishes without missing a beat. Clean and attentive even at full capacity, which is no small thing. Fair warning if you are bringing little ones: this environment is a lot. The noise, the crowd, the overwhelming parade of food arriving at the table. Our kids loved what they ate but the sensory experience was a bit much for them. This is a place better suited for a group of adventurous adults or older kids who thrive in high energy environments. Prices are great for the quality and quantity of food you get. A Chinatown institution for good reason. Just know what you are walking into and embrace it fully.

The portions are huge, so I highly recommend sharing dishes, especially if you're dining with a group. If you're not familiar with the menu, it can be a little challenging to know what to order, but the staff is usually helpful with recommendations. Some of my favorites are the dumplings, various rice dishes, chicken, lemongrass dishes, Mongolian beef, and other traditional offerings. This is a fantastic place for larger groups, and they're very accommodating when it comes to splitting checks. The food comes out quickly, the atmosphere is lively, and there's plenty of variety for everyone. If you're in the area near Joy Yee, MingHin is definitely worth a visit!

    Pure comfort food. We went on a Sunday around 4pm and were quoted a 45-minute wait, but ended up…read moregetting seated in about 15 minutes. Worth the hype! The vibes were chill with pop music playing in the background. Service was solid. Our server was knowledgeable, explained the menu well, and answered questions without rushing us. The Pork & Chive Dumplings tasted like something my mom would make at home. The broth they sit in adds a lot of flavor and makes the dish even better. My only nitpick is that I personally prefer a thicker, chewier dumpling wrapper. The Dan Dan Noodles were the standout. Creamy, nutty, crunchy from the peanuts, packed with flavor, and not overly spicy. It was my first time trying dan dan noodles and now I totally understand the hype. 8/10. The Xian Bing took about 25 minutes to come out, which makes sense since they're made fresh. The lamb filling was flavorful and the outside was super crispy, almost like a scallion pancake. The bread itself was softer and thicker than I expected and could've used a little more flavor. Overall, this felt like authentic, comforting food that leaves you completely satisfied when you walk out. Next time I'd absolutely order the Dan Dan Noodles again and try the beef noodles, scallion pancakes, and beef dumplings.

    We went in as a group of five. The wait was short and we got a table easily. Seating is tight and…read morethe interior is basic. We started with house beer, then worked through chicken potstickers, tofu skin salad, the xian bing (freshly baked crispy bread stuffed with cumin lamb), and dan dan noodles. The dan dan noodles were the standout, tangy and spicy in a way that turned almost addictive. The xian bing was a close second, the crust crackly against the rich, cumin-heavy lamb. A solid meal in a no-frills room.

It's crazy it's completely died down by the time we were finished with our meal. The service was great, the interior decor was beautiful and the staff was friendly. The dim sum offered for brunch was good as well but pricey. Especially since some dishes were only offered with two pieces. If you have a party of three then you're kind of forced into buying two of the same dishes. Which is strange. Traditionally most dim sum dishes have three pieces. Rarely see 2 pieces being offered especially for double the price. We ordered their Jiaozi, Char Sui Bao, crab Rangoon, chilly chilli noodles, and their Xiang long Bao. All were great. The chilly chilli noodles is served cold and was very flavorful. The Xiang Kong Bao was amazing. The potstickers was probably my favorite dish and it's mess up char Sui Bao. We were going to order wings but they had ran out I guess by 12pm on a Sunday. I was also going to order fried rice but it wasn't offered for brunch. Overall despite the priciness of the menu, we still enjoyed our food and the service. I obviously knew what I was getting myself into by visiting this place, and can definitely see myself returning in the future.

Potstickers: Nice thin skins, good crunchy pan fry on the bottom, slightly underseasoned filling. Sautéed bok choy: Crispy and light with a hint of garlic, easy and healthy. Biang Biang noodles: Interesting mix of strong flavors, which weren't quite my favorite. I found it to be a touch too salty, and I was surprised by the tomato. Trialing the thin noodles was probably the wrong move; the thick hand pulled ones would've stood up to the savorineas much better. Large portion. Beef noodle soup: The thick hand pulled noodles were homey and delicious, just the right texture with some alternating thin and thick chewiness that reminded me of home. The beef noodle soup was quite light without any real beef flavor, though comforting nonetheless. Some pieces of beef were chewier and not completely cooked through while others were tender and melt in your mouth. I'd return when in the mood for a bowl of thick hand pulled noodles and maybe some healthy sauteed vegetables.
