"Nothing is quite as perfect for a big birthday dinner as a dim sum feast with your friends. And MingHin is large, has several locations, and is open 365 days a year. So if you’re one of the unfortunate souls whose birthday happens to fall on a day like December 25th or January 1st, you have a viable option to guilt trip your friends with. They have tasty entrees like lo mein and rice dishes, but we recommend focusing on the dim sum—especially the pork buns and dumplings." - adrian kane, veda kilaru, nick allen, john ringor
"Minghin in Chinatown has you covered for all your day-off dim sum needs. It’s huge, with tons of tables, and it’s open 365 days a year. This is helpful to know about in case all your friends from high school are in town, and you need a place to eat on Christmas." - adrian kane, john ringor, nick allen, veda kilaru
"This is the South Loop location of the very popular dim sum restaurant. Each MingHin follows the same format: a large space with plenty of seating, a long menu of consistently well-made dim sum, and an iPad ordering system at the table that helps you wade through the seemingly endless array of choices. The dining room looks dark and sleek, but it’s casual enough for a family-style meal where you'll feel comfortable having a debate about climate change with your uncle while fighting a secondary battle with your sister for the last dumpling. All of the above (plus little to no wait time) makes MingHin one of the best places in the neighborhood for groups." - veda kilaru, adrian kane, john ringor
"A dim sum spot praised for excellent dumplings, with the shumai specifically called out as incredible." - Sam Nelson
"All four Chicago locations of Minghin (Chinatown, Streeterville, South Loop, and Lakeshore East) follow the same format: a large menu of consistently well-made dim sum, a touch of flare courtesy of crystals dangling from the ceiling, and plenty of seating. And all of the above makes Minghin one of the best places for groups—whether it’s with friends or 16 visiting cousins that can’t decide what to eat. The long dim sum menu has a seemingly endless array of choices, and some of the best are the pan-fried corn and pork cake, chicken and dried scallop buns, and desserts like egg tarts." - john ringor, adrian kane, veda kilaru
