This review is for my experience last Saturday for a wedding. Shout out to all the staff. From the waitress to the waiters, the bartenders, The ladies who were serving beers and shots for everyone. They were the real MVPs! I had to Google Translate a request because I speak Vietnamese and they were Chinese. I always request for a bowl of soy sauce with cut up jalapeños or chili peppers. She delivered! Food - I need to come back and get their shrimp with mayo and fried garlic chicken. Those two dishes were AMAZING. read more

One of my go to spots in the area for dim sum. The restaurant is super spacious so there usually isn't too long of a wait even when they're busy. My favorite dish is the red rice rolls! They are also great for banquets and parties. Any time I've gone to an event here, the waitstaff is great and the banquet meal is delicious as well! read more

This review for Ming's Seafood Restaurant is honestly long overdue. I've been a regular here since they first opened in Quincy, and they're the reason I officially stopped going to the other spot down the street. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's so much more spacious, the staff is way friendlier, and the food is just as good--if not better.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Whether you're coming for a weekend dim sum run or a full authentic Chinese dinner, this place consistently hits. The dim sum staples are an absolute must: the shrimp and celery bean curd roll, rice rolls, shu mai, and harkow are all perfection. And you can't leave without the BBQ pork buns or those decadent lava buns and egg tarts. If you're with a bigger group, their family-style shareables like the house fried rice and stir-fried Chinese broccoli are top-tier pairings. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's plenty of parking (though it definitely fills up during peak hours!), and the vibe is super family-friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's the perfect spot to catch up with friends over an amazing meal. 10/10 neighborhood staple! One star left out purely because sometimes the line is just so out of control. Get here early! read more

Ming Seafood Restaurant - take out! - Seafood Near Me - Quincy, Massachusetts

Hit the Ranch 99 supermarket next door for our bi-monthly "fresh fish fried in the store" fix, then decided what the hell, let's try this place right next door in the same strip mall. It was about 2 hours before closing time on a Sunday night, and only 3 or 4 tables in the huge dining room were occupied, which spooked me a little. Turned out we had nothing to fear---the food was excellent, really on par if not better than anything from Chinatown where we usually hit the New Golden Gate restaurant when hankering for some Cantonese food. Best of all, none of the parking headaches of Chinatown! Only downside to this place is the table service---food was brought out fairly fast after ordering, but servers had to be flagged down to get their attention throughout, otherwise they were off socializing with each other on the other side of the space most of the time. We normally don't expect super duper service at Asian restaurants but this was a bit worse than usual. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very elegant and attractive space inside might make you fear for inflated pricing, but the prices were actually pretty reasonable given the quality and quantity of food you get.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Am planning to come back, despite the lackadaisical service. read more

Came here on a Tuesday early lunch time and we were the only non chinese people in the restaurant so we already knew it was going to be good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place wasn't too filled but there was a lot of families & couples there enjoying on the weekday.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The menu was vast & as you can see we over ordered for our party of 5. The food was fresh, well balanced flavors, & served quickly. The service was what really made this 5 stars, our server was friendly and loved making jokes with my dad. He let my dad go see the fish tanks in the back to point out what he wanted. The staff tried to teach him to use chopsticks since everyone's english levels were different to try and communicate. My dad ended up using his hands lol. Even though this was probably going to be a one time visit to Boston the server joked with us that when we come back to come to Ming instead of Boston Chinatown and my dad better know how to use chopsticks! read more

Came here twice recently for two different dinner banquets and the seafood was exceptional. And while there were a lot of highlights, there were also some lackluster dishes, so this gets a high 4/5. One thing I did appreciate that I haven't seen at other banquets was that as we ate the food, the staff would sometimes come by and transfer the food to smaller plates to keep the table a little bit neater rather than trying to stack everything on top of each other. Some of the food highlights: Cold platters: Both of these were pretty good, though I didn't care for the fatty pork slices in each. The pork belly was really crispy which was nice, but because it was cold the fat was a little chalky. The beef, slices were great and well flavored, the shrimp was astounding with a sweet glaze on it, the cuttlefish was the perfect amount of soft and chewy, and the pickled veggies/jellyfish had a great acidic and sesame balance. I preferred this dish at the 2nd banquet, but both were great. Shrimp and Scallop: This is my favorite of all of the dishes. The seafood was really fresh and sweet, but the sauce was to die for. It had a great balance of ginger and scallion, and the seafood juices + sauce was absorbed into the snap peas that the veggies tasted like lobster. I've never had this flavor sensation before with veggies - 10/10 would order every time. Abalone and mushrooms: This wasn't bad but it was canned abalone. The mushrooms were probably the star here. Sea cucumber soup: This didn't have a ton of taste unfortunately. Lobster: Very typical - nothing too special but nothing terrible here. The shells were cracked well to avoid too much manual labor. Fried chicken and boiled chicken: Both of these were pretty tough and chewy, but the fried chicken was a bit better. Still, it was a little dry. Steak: Both of these were great and even though one of them was a little well done, it still somehow was very soft and tender. Fish: The steamed fish was great, but the fried fish lacked...everything really. It didn't really have much meat on it at all - it felt like the fish had been saved for another dish and the dish we were served was crispy bones and skin. The steamed fish was nice and flavorful though, and all of the meat seemed to be on the fish. Fried rice: Tasted very strongly of dried scallop if you like that - I didn't particularly enjoy it though. Long life noodles: There were no mushrooms in here so it lacked that shitake flavor, but still a solid plain noodle dish. Scallion pancakes: VERY crispy and delicious, but hardly any scallions. Still, a very very good version of this dish due to how crunchy it was! All in all, there were some highs and lows, but most of the seafood itself was great. I could definitely see choosing all of the highs leading to a 5/5 meal though! I'd love to come back for dim sum as well! read more

Solid dimsum place in Quincy! They don't do the carts which is part of the experience of course but the food is interesting -- they always seem to put a little spin on the typical classics. I enjoyed their red bean buns and pineapple buns. Their shaomai is also pretty good as well! After 11am you can order some more of the salt and pepper seafoods and stir fried noodles if that's something you're interested in! read more

More like 3.5. Our usual is China Pearl as we enjoy the rolling carts but they're closed for renovations so we made our way to Ming. Apparently everyone and their mother had the same idea - the place was jam packed and we were told it'd be a 25 mins wait. We were seated right about the 25 mins mark! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is a bit outdated with the decor but we're here for the food...[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We sat, ordered and ate! Some things we enjoyed, some things we wouldn't order again. My faves were the wings and chicken feet. My sister enjoyed the shrimp rolls and shrimp/chive dumplings. Soup dumplings and shui mai were a bit disappointing. The service was as good as it could've been for as busy as it was but the food came out hot and fast and came in waves of how the food was prepared - steamed items first, then fried, etc....I can imagine that they must make a lot of this in bulk to promptly serve the masses. Individual pots of hot tea at $1/$1.50 pp. All in all, not terrible and I would return but now know what not to order. There is a lot for parking but man it was so busy it took me 10 mins to find a spot! read more

Hi. Mings,Quincy serves dim sum. I loved China Pearl Boston back in the day. I'm sure it's a matter of taste. I loved China Pearl. The food i found to be lacking flavors like ginger or sesame. The dipping sauces lack flavor. You can only order thru your waiter. Period. You mean sugar? As for the food, shrimp and pork shu mai was raw in the middle. The flavor was unimaginably awful. Shrimp shu mai and the shrimp won tons were lackluster. I could not eat a thing. But that's only me. read more

Dim sum during the day and classic Cantonese dishes at night, Ming Seafood has it all. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space is huge with a lot of tables so perfect for a banquet or a large family dinner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Space itself is clean besides the bathrooms.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Their menu is quite extensive and they offer every imaginable Cantonese dinner dish you can think of. The portions are fairly large compared to some places found in Chinatown. Overall, I recommended the sweet and sour pork chop, fish filet in sweet corn sauce, crispy chicken, scallop fried rice and seafood yee mein. Price is slightly above average but the portion sizes justify the prices. Service was quick and attentive! They changed out our plates from time to time and provided lots of napkins. read more

This is a solid chinese restaurant. Is it the best? nope but for Boston its pretty good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Its big and clean,[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] service is excellent, and the food is consistent.

Got there early Father's Day. It was packed and got there just at open as they were seating patrons. Quality dim sum. Solid staples. They have some nice twists on classic favorites and nice additions. We got this delicious lychee looking dish. Turned out to be shrimp and cheese filled. As we left, there was still a big crowd at the door waiting to be seated. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Definitely seating further away from the front door makes the experience much more pleasant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Came here for their dimsum on a Sunday and it looks like they are super popular because it took us 1.5 hours to get a table! After getting seated however, the food came fast right after we ordered it and it was all soooo good! I especially enjoyed the marinated tripe, chicken feet, and all the buns we tried. They have a great dimsum selection and are very prompt with delivering food, which made our experience here pretty good. Since they are always full, it can be hard to get ahold of someone for help, but they are always circling around so they'll see you at some point. I loved all the food we had here and would love to come back on a less busy day! read more

Service was quick and all the food was good. Even on Mother's Day it was super busy but the staff was on it and attentive. Mad good today

Overall: I was recommended this place as one of the better dim sum places if not the best in Boston. I leave with a lackluster experience in food quality from a very fancy (by Chinese dim sum standards) establishment. Food: Har Gow rice wrapper was very grainy typical of pre frozen. The rice rolls with Chinese donut did not even have the right sauce to go with them. The radish/turnip cakes had no texture. The bok choy had a bit of a bitter taste to them. The beef intestines were a bit chewy but actually pretty good. Lastly, the custard filled buns (minion shape) tasted surprisingly not bad. But the bun itself was similar to pre frozen kinds. Ambience/Service/Decor: I will say the redeeming factor of the service being quick and always available was nice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The fact that it's also quite clean and a very large space helps as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

6/10. Some of the dim sum was cold and bland. Once again the staff asked if we tipped. SMH. Also witnessed the hostess argue loudly with a man waiting in line. These people don't know how to conduct business. Why is this place even busy ? Awful food and worse service. Siu Mai- bland. how do you mess up siu mai ? Fried milk - room temp, not piping hot. Jai Leurng- very good, the single best dish we got. crunchy and the rice roll was how it should be. Radish cubes in XO sauce - okay. not impressed, served hot Spring rolls- served piping hot , very good Steamed pork bao- very little filling, not sweet enough, but the bao was fluffy. Beef rice roll- okay. read more

I wasn't feeling well so my husband got me takeout dim sum when we were in the area. Beef chow fun was packed with flavor and great pieces of beef. Spare ribs were fall off the bone goodness. Tripe in black bean sauce was super tender and one of my absolute favorites, along with braised chicken feet in black bean sauce. Pea shoots were soooooooo good and complimented all the other dishes I had. I had their garlic fried chicken wings in house before and that's the only way to have them. They do not travel well in the styrofoam tray as it steams, overcooks and gets super rubbery. I won't get those to go anymore but Ming's remains one of my favorite dim sum restaurants in the Boston area. read more

I like how the restaurant has a variety of dim sum selection, both traditional and more modern styles of dishes. My favorites are always the pork and vegetable dumplings as well as the different types of congee! My friend and I (party of 2) went for a late weekday lunch and there were a lot of tables available. Weekend brunch times are usually more full but the wait also wasn't very long since the restaurant has plenty of seating! read more

Awesome and the best place on the South Shore for dimsum. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean, well lit, spacious and beautifully decorated.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Plenty of free parking with their own parking lot as well as street parking. A big plus than trying to find parking in Chinatown and paying for it. They give you a checklist along with a menu with descriptions and photos of the dishes. Great service, attentive, courteous, polite, friendly and professional. Every dish is served quickly, hot and fresh. All prepared perfectly and delicious. Highly recommend. Definitely our go-to anytime for dimsum. read more

Pretty decent for Boston! Some dishes were a bit salty and it made me thirsty and parched but overall yummy. Expensive compared to NY prices. Place is HUGE. Lots of seating and space. Staff are very friendly and attentive with refilling our tea and cleaning out the plates. Came here for dimsum during lunch and dinner time. Lunch gets pretty busy on a weekend and it was quite empty in a Friday night. Big parking lot space. read more

Normally I don't love Siu Mai but I really liked how they seasoned the Siu Mai. I can't wait to come back to eat more dim sum! read more

I thought Ming's was a solid dimsum place. The food portions are huge for dimsum and quality was good. The lava pineapple buns are delicious - eat them while hot! They will bring over scissors to cut up everything for you if you ask them. We had a birthday celebration and they were so accomodating, bringing out a cake that we brought and playing a birthday song on these portable speakers. It was pretty funny. They had a huge variety of dimsum too. Get the turnip cakes, steamed rice rolls, chasiu baos. Of note, you order off a menu, not off carts, but they do bring out your food on carts. There are really cute desserts and animal-themed food for kids too! Very fun. Ming's is felt to be pretty legit by the Chinese community - they will host Chinese style banquets for events too; I've been to one banquet here and it was amazing! Ming's is a pretty solid restaurant and definitely one that I would recommend. read more

Placed a takeout order. Food was opened when we got home. So disappointed and dissatisfied about that the Ducky Mango Pudding because they packed it on the bottom with all the hot food on top of it. It melted the pudding so it looked like a mess. Should have separated the Ducky Mango Pudding from the hot dim sum! Every thing else appeared normal. Not a good experience. read more

The website is essentially in Chinese but the menu in the restaurant does have an English translation and pictures. My daughter's boyfriend was the only non Asian there when we went for dim sum for lunch if that's important to you. They did speak passable English. They don't have carts going around the too, you check off what you want on a paper menu. The portions are very large, especially the larger dishes which are served after 11:00. I like the har kau (shrimp dumplings), the siu mai and the xiao long bao (soup dumplings). Only have large tables but our party of 3 did not have to share with other people. Fairly priced. Would go again read more

I don't like seafood at all, and neither does my spouse. But, whatever we ordered was actually good, and very pretty. Very high quality. However, I found the prices were very high, the service was just OK. Nothing bad about it, but just OK. And, despite order several items and dishes of foods, no one was full, satisfied, or satiated, and the bill was painful. It was tasty, but the price was not exactly right for what we got. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The table was also not very clean when we got there, and I had to wipe it myself.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And, the waiter ignored us for over 20 min. Very high quality hand made viddles, super pretty looking food, and a very high price, with so-so service, that leaves your belly still empty, and your wallet in extreme pain. I don't think anyone wants to return. Sorry. read more

A recent Friday night dinner at the Mings in Quincy was 100%. There was: Walnut shrimp Pan fried fish and vegetables Lobster and noodles A lamb dish Stir fried pea shoots Fermented tofu A tapioca pudding dessert Everything came out in quick succession and was placed on the huge lazy susan in the middle of the table. We rolled it around for the next couple of hours and enjoyed the great company and the fantastic food! read more

The food here is quite good. I love going here or Windsor for dim sum in Quincy. It's a large restaurant with plenty of seating so there usually is no wait or a short wait. It's located next to Ranch 99 and conveniently has a large parking lot. For larger dishes (available after 11am), my go to are the dry beef chow fun salt & pepper chicken wings, calamari tentacles, and clams. They're a big portion and delicious. The leftover salt and pepper seasoning is good on rice or noodles. The scallop & peapod stems with beet dumplings and crispy shrimp red rice rolls were bad and I wouldn't order them again. They have lots of food that "for the gram" that I liked including the shrimp dumplings with truffle cuttlefish, salty egg york lava bun with charcoal powder, pig shaped steamed salty egg york lava buns, minion custard bun, duck shaped mango pudding, and rabbit coconut pudding. The chicken congee is awesome, made just like home. The menu says it feeds 4-6 people and it comes in a huge pot with a generous portion of chicken. For 10 hungry people who ordered way too much, I was pleasantly surprised when our bill was only slightly over $300 so you can't beat the price here. We all left really full and satisfied. The service was good for a Chinese restaurant, we did have to flag someone down occasionally, but the waiter was attentive with our water and tea. What keeps me coming back are the convenience, good prices, good service, and unique dim sum items that they have. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]A staple now, yes it's a bit pricier then other Dimsum's or Chinese food spots in the city, but the service is usually quick, the space is large and accommodating, decor is nice, areas are clean and parking is ample.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Easy to get to, serve dim sum made to order with specialty baos and cute animal shaped items. Comes out hot fresh and you just have to pull a server or waive one down when you need more water, tea (gotta pay for chrysanthemum as most places) and your hot sauces or sweet soy sauce. The family dinner each table holds about 10 adults, this is also a hotspot for weddings (attended many here). Food to me is always authentic, always fresh and i haven't had any issues each time i was here. We usually order for dinners, salt and pepper squid porkchop shrimp or fish, steaks, lobster, occasionally king crab. Pan fried noodles, vermicilli with clam and scallion oil garlic, sizzling beef's, half chicken, whatever really the family is craving. Will be back per usual. read more

Bit of a hike but worth it! I came here this past weekend with a few friends. We arrived around 12:45 and were quoted about a 25 min wait (Sunday). The place was insanely busy! We were seated within 20 min which was great. Now to the food! We ordered the following items. Shumai - Yummy, exactly as expected! Shrimp hargow - Also as expected Chicken feet - Excellent, loved the sauce Minion custard buns - Not as advertised, the minions didn't have eyeballs! Also the custard to bun ratio was off. Would have preferred more custard. Wouldn't get this again. Clams with black bean sauce - Loved this! No prices listed so I think it was much pricer than we thought. Shrimp rolls - Good but every order wasn't hot Pork bbq buns - love! Sweet pork bun (got this by accident) - These were super sweet because of the sugar crust. Would not get this or recommend it. Overall, it was a good experience. The food was good but not the right temperature for a few things. I'd think that's easy to fix! We paid 111 excluding tip for 4. I'm surprised it's more expensive because it's outside the city. I would come back but I'd rather go to winsor in Chinatown! Also they do a cash discount during the week not the weekends. read more

4.5/5! Arrived around 11 and was seated 30-minutes later despite having a packed restaurant. The dumplings were steamed and seasoned perfectly. The tripe had great texture and tasted light with the ginger and scallion. The lava bun was so cute but would've appreciated a bit more sauce inside. Overall found my new dim sum spot in the Boston area and will come back. :) read more

There's not many Chinese restaurants in the area that are as large as Ming's nor as modern looking. Because of this, many people will come here to dine for morning/afternoon dim sum or dinner. They have more options for dim-sum compared to most, offering cute minion buns, red rice rolls with shrimp complimented with spicy mayo, and more. The reason for my 3 stars is because their food is not consistent at all. Their food has never been the best but some days the food definitely lacks more than usual. read more

Very spacious, great for small or larger parties of friends. The service is like that of any other dim sum restaurant. This is my go to for dim sum in Boston. Too bad it's not closer to Boston itself or in Chinatown. I've been to Hei La Moon a few times and I would recommend this one 10 times out of 10. They have a great selection of dim sum, all the classics. read more
