Went to lunch today by myself and got my usual dimsum items. Other than being seated in a bad location and being ignored for the first 10 minutes, the big surprise came when my bill was double what it has been on my last visit. The cashier blamed COVID and I said I had been there a few times since COVID and never paid the prices like that before. I'd like to say that the food was worth it, but even at noon it was lukewarm and was not as good as I've had before. It will be the last time I dine there, and I'm sure they won't care.

The waiters were very attentive, and had good senses of humor. They clearly wanted to be sure we were well taken care of. The food was fabulous! The dim sum was very authentic and delicious. We were just passing through, but we all commented that we wish there was a place like this where we live, so we could go again and again!

Having been born and raised in New York City and regularly eating dim sum there, San Francisco and Toronto, I was afraid I'd terribly miss dim sum when I moved to Albuquerque in 2022. Our family, though, found comfort in the variety of dim sum we found here, seeing the push cart filled with dim sum at our table and hearing our native Cantonese spoken. To be honest, the quality wasn't the same as the big cities but we've learned that coming on the weekend, when they've first opened, is the best time to get dim sum. We were here 2 Sundays ago, and not sure if they had a new chef, but it was the best we'd had. I travel to New York again in a few weeks and traditionally, I've brought dim sum home. No need to anymore. The dim sum at Ming Dynasty is great, service is attentive, our grandsons love variety and it will continue to be a regular choice for our family.

I guess Mondays aren’t a good day to eat Chinese. Orders the appetizer for 2. Every thing was good except the fries chicken wings, pretty greasy and ribs were very tough and tasted old. Sweet and sour pork combo, pork tasted hard and, rice had very little to no

Shocked by all of the negative reviews. Went there for the first time recently and really enjoyed the Dim Sum. The service was very friendly. Restaurant was clean. I'll definitely go back.
We jumped on the Albuquerque Foodies bandwagon and tried Ming Dynasty. We were not disappointed. The food was delicious. Though they have a sign asking for patience for lack of staff, we were served quickly and our food came out much faster than expected. We enjoyed the pork and ginger dumplings as well as the stuffed shrimp on the sugar cane. We will be going back to try even more. A good place for a small bite or a large shareable meal.

It's pretty sad the yelpers here are giving this place a 4 or 5 star rating and boasting about how they visited Hong Kong and lived in a large city( did you mean you had a layover in the airport?)when they can't even tell Ming dynasty's majority of the "dimsum" came from the local Asian grocery store frozen foods section. Food has always been gross for the last 35 years, place is filthy and under perform.

Dim Sum is hard to find in this corner of the country. Having lived in the Bay Area for a bit, visited Hong Kong a few times, and spent a decent time of my life in a larger city (Chicago), I have experience a somewhat wider spectrum of Dim Sum. Our family reside in Santa Fe and decided to explore Dim Sum on a day trip to ABQ. Based on pictures, we opted for Ming Dynasty over IT Dimsum. Literally the only legit options, it seemed. Ambiance - Great. Not fancy. But a spot to enjoy a meal. Love having a Dim Sum cart come to the table. It reminded me of the first time I tried Dim Sum in SF. My wife had never experienced this. Service - Very attentive, authentic, and fast. Nailed it. Food - Spectrum, but good to very good overall. I've never seen our 1 year old consume food like he did the chicken/sausage sticky rice. Price - Very reasonable. $60 before tip and that included a beer and leftovers to take home (2 adults, 2 children). If this was based on ABQ alone, it'd be 5 stars. In terms of where it falls on my Dim Sum spectrum, it's a solid 4. Definitely recommend.
