    It's now possible to enjoy delicious Dim Sum in Boerum Hill thanks to Ming Mun. You heard right. I didn't mention going to Chinatown. A first time visit ramped up expectations due to eating/enjoying Dim Sum for as long as I could remember and being picky. I've been to some top notch spots in Chinatown so the bar was set high. Staff were very hospitable and service was attentive. We were intrigued with the menu and the diversity of selections. We started off with a pot of Jasmine tea which accompanied our selections well. An automatic refill of hot water was offered once we finished the first round. We ordered Shrimp Rice roll (and requested the elimination of the soy sauce drizzle on top), Shrimp and Chive Dumpling, Chinese Greens (with a side of white rice). I liked them all very much and it was a Dim Sum feast without going to Chinatown. The Shrimp Rice Roll was different from what I remembered having in the past. Theirs was a little thicker and not the silky texture from what I was accustomed to having. Still, it was good. The Shrimp with Chives Dim Sum was excellent. Lightly pan fried with a delicious filling. I only wished the green food color wasn't added. My favorite was the Chinese Greens (Broccoli). Prepared crisp/tender with Oyster Sauce, this dish was hands down one of the best vegetable solo mains I've had at Chinese restaurants recently. The portion size for all selections were just right. The quantity of Dim Sum dumplings are usually 3 or 4 pieces. I'm already eager to return and mentally selecting what to have next time. I'd love to see an expansion of the menu to include more authentic (and less Chinese American) dishes. BTW, I mean this in a positive way. I am not of Chinese heritage myself but I happen to love the cuisine very much and authenticity is where it's at. Overall, I loved my experience at Ming Mun and am ecstatic it is walking distance for when I want a Dim Sum fix. Entire staff was super nice. This little gem is a keeper in my book.

    There aren't many Chinese restaurants in the neighborhood, so Ming Mun is a nice welcome. It has that old school Chinese restaurant ambiance, but I kind of wished they kept the modern decor from the previous Dimmer and Simmer. With that said, the food is truly authentic though pricier than you'll find in Chinatown due to the location. The fiancé and I came by for dinner and it's pretty cool that you can order dim sum any time of the day. We started off with the pot of Jasmine Tea ($10). This is quite pricey between two people, but if you have more than 4 people, it's worth it. For food, we ordered the Beef Rice Roll ($8.50), Shanghai Juicy Pork Dumpling ($7.50), Stew Beef Noodle Soup ($16.95), and General Tso's Chicken ($18.95). The dim sum dishes were tasty, but very pricey when I can get it for a fraction of the price in Chinatown. The rice roll was fresh and silky, but way too slippery to eat even for someone who grew up using chopsticks. I liked the pork dumplings too, but also very pricey for only 4 pieces. As for our main dishes, these were much larger portions. We ended up mostly eating the chicken and I got to take the noodle home. Personally, I really enjoyed the noodle soup which tasted homey. Overall, solid Chinese restaurant for my cravings whenever I don't want to venture out to Chinatown. They also have some good lunch specials too.

    Spotlessly clean, friendly service, excellent dim sum, ultra fresh vegetables, great tea service, and reasonable prices. Definitely go before this new place is discovered.

    If you, like me, love dimsum and wish there were great options in more neighborhoods, then I highly, highly recommend you check out Ming Mun on Smith St! This is a small, calm restaurant with a full dimsum menu, and I would totally bring my kids there. I went recently for the first time and enjoyed everything I ordered: har gow, shrimp and chive dumplings, turnip cakes, szechuan wontons, and a big heaping pile of snow pea shoots with garlic. BEST turnip cakes I've ever had, and I love turnip cakes. They set a new standard. They tasted homemade, with long tendrils of daikon throughout. I only wish I'd gone with a bigger group so we could have ordered more! I really want this place to stick around and can't wait to go back!

The food here genuinely surprised me because everything came out super fresh and hot. We ordered a BUNCH of dishes that I lost track of taking pictures, but a few really stood out. The steamed spare ribs were hot, tender, and flavorful; the taro pieces mixed in were great too. The chicken feet were cut in half for convenience and the taste and texture were spot on. The hargow surprised me with filling that was mostly shrimp which is sometimes too much to ask for sadly. My favorite might've been the honeycomb tripe (not the one in the stew). It came out steaming and had that ideal bounce without being chewy, I'm pretty sure I cleaned more than half of it. Overall, the freshness and heat of every dish made a huge difference. The restaurant had a great vibe and service was good although they accidentally charged us an extra order of chicken feet (which was resolved when we pointed it out). Definitely worth checking out if you're craving dim sum in the city.

However, the real negative here is the operations. It is a chaotic mess for the volume they are trying to do. It's not about adding more manpower, it's about streamlining. Tables are sitting empty while people are on the waitlist (not due to reservations), orders are going to the wrong tables, to-go orders are in disarray and have to be re-verified on multiple orders, and it takes a long time to get some water. The Yelp waitlist is useless here - wait was supposed to be 5-10 minutes and it turned into almost 40. All this could have been avoided with more planning, better organization, and training. Kitchen staff doing their job well. Front of house needs work.

Tell him how many in your party and he'll give you a piece of paper with a number on it, he'll blow through those announcements quickly, so listen up. - The numbers for a table aren't always sequential, he's playing a game of Tetris with tables. - If you've got less than a full table, be prepared to share a table, but it's no big deal. - Steamed Pork Bun is better than Baked Pork Bun (but not by much), which is better than the Crispy Fried Pork Dumpling (mochi!). Baked Pork Pastry was a little meh, it was extremely rich and ours was in that awkward in-between temperature. - Chive dumplings are pretty shrimp-forward, good, but shrimp-forward. - If there's something you want and it doesn't make its way to you, ask! Servers retrieved several things for us and the tables around us (seemingly) happily.

The tuna and avocado paired with the spicy red sauce really made it stand out -- honestly tasted great and something I'd get again. Also had the Mongolian steak with rice, which was another highlight. Presentation was fire -- it comes out still heating on a hot platter, which makes the whole experience feel elevated. Flavor matched the presentation too. Service was solid overall, no real issues there. The only downside was with a deal they were advertising ("3 for $33"). It was shown on their website and even posted outside the restaurant, which was actually one of the main reasons we chose the spot. When we tried to use it, we were told they weren't honoring it that night and that the deal had been causing them to lose money. I understand adjusting pricing if something isn't working, but if that's the case, the promotion should be removed or clearly communicated ahead of time. Having it still advertised and then not honoring it was frustrating and took away from the experience.
