    Partial steel scrubber found in food
    Holly B.

    My friend ordered the E noodles for take out. There was a small piece of steel scrubber in it. Luckily she did not swallow it. This happened to me before in another dish.

    Metered parking is available just outside the restaurant (free on Sundays iirc). There is also a paid parking area. The restaurant can validate your ticket. It's quite a spacious restaurant with lots of seating. We came here for dimsum twice during our trip to Boston and I think the quality/taste varies dramatically. The first time, the food was not it for me. Of course, this all depends on your palette but everything was VERY salty to me - to the point where I could not eat anything. I'd take a bite to try and then I'd have to give the rest to my partner. I've never been so hungry at a dimsum place! My stomach was growling even though we had so much food on the table. :( The second time, the food was decent - as in not on the salty side. Still, I didn't necessarily think it was anything special.

    The portions are huge and there are a lot of options. The dim sum is hot and tasty. No carts. Waitstaff bring out everything at once...not great when you order a lot because the food gets cold quick. The restaurant is big and they host a lot of weddings. Plenty of parking (parking lot).

    Adding Nov 2025 menu. Beef Chow Fun is still great. Asked them to include some veggies. Requested less oil and less salt - they did a good job on that. Fried Rice with Diced Chicken and Salty Fish is great!

    This place is worth the drive and looking for street parking. Everything we tried was delicious. Service was great - we were seated within 10 minutes on a very busy Sunday morning. Service was fast and not rushed. At the end we tried 8 items and had hot tea and our bill was $67 before gratuity. Place can be noisy but it's because people are chatting, smiling and eating. We will be back!

    It's our first time at this location. It's in a busy street so parking can be annoying. We were lucky to find one close to the restaurant. When we walked inside it was bright, clean, and very spacious. Our waiter was nice but it was hard to understand him. The service was fast pace and our food arrived pretty fast. We ordered a variety of dishes and we had to pack most of it to go. The dishes were a hit and miss due to lack of flavor. We really enjoyed the salt & pepper wings, bbq steam pork buns, chicken feet, & beef rice rolls. The beef stir fry with gravy, egg rolls, & chicken fried rice were bland.

    Pretty good! Food came out fast and fresh, a large assortment of dim sum to choose from, and plentiful street parking nearby. If you come during lunch hours on the weekend, be prepared to wait and share a table with strangers. Our group of five was quoted a 25-30 minute wait but our number was called before then. We ended up in a private room off to the side but never felt neglected - our waiter came by to take our orders and check in on us. Favorites: the shrimp dumplings (nice fat shrimp filling), the fried tofu with shrimp paste. Not so favorite: the spare ribs (very oily and too much cartilage/bone, making it tough to chew. My jaw got a good workout from one of these). Things I miss having at dim sum: - Grouchy old ladies pushing carts around and shouting whatever they have at you. - The little plates of mustard and chili oil they pass out at the beginning. They had chili sauce out of a jar but it tasted kind of off to me and not very flavorful.

    A small selection pricing range from about 3 to 6 dollars each.

    As I was posting some photos from dim sum today, I noticed I didn't post a review for over seven years here. Good news the food is still fabulous. I believe this is one of the most popular places for Sunday dim sum. Just an FYI, they do serve dim sum every day. They transferred over to ordering from a photographic menu rather than the standard pushcart and choosing as you go. I'm still up in the air. which way I prefer I really like when the carts come around and they open up a steamer, you can smell the different aromas from all the different foods and you can decide on the spot what you want rather than choosing off the menu which is a little bit more fun. Anyway, I was there with my daughter and her boyfriend so just three of us. I think I went a little overboard. I ordered 13 orders for three people. I'm telling you the management must've loved us, anyways everything was fantastic. A couple little highlights I would like to point out, the chicken feet are the best in the greater Boston area and I would definitely suggest that you try. I'm also partial to the stuffed eggplant and the congee of course I go with the pork and the preserved egg. One of the top vegetables I would suggest the shoots, the Peapod shoots. I like mine with oyster sauce ask for extra, you will need it. This is a little bit different than the average dim sum spot around town. This is a function hall. It's extremely fancy. Today there was an Asian wedding going on and the bride and groom were dressed in ancestral wedding outfits. It was a lot of fun. The staff seem to handle the wedding as well as all the other outsiders who just came for dim sum. Everything went smoothly for the two hours I was in the restaurant. I would like to mention the young woman at the front desk, calling out the numbers and taking your name for tables seemed to get a little bit confused because for about 20 minutes, she kept telling me I was fourth and they called a few other tables then I just happened to peek over her shoulder and I saw her scratching out my number and someone else went into that seat so of course I had to question her. She gave me a new number and told me oh oh your next. I went with the flow and about five minutes later I did get a table but that equaled out to a one hour wait. I did see some people arrive much later than I and sat before me, so I will be questioning that. Thats why the review is four stars rather than five, other than that the food is top-notch. The service is top-notch and it's a very pleasant place to dine. I would highly advise trying this place out. If you haven't been it's worth checking it out you'll be pleased. FYI, sometimes it is a little difficult to park in that neighborhood, but there is a parking lot in the garage up the street and around the corner.

    Siu mai, har kau, steam rice rolls with shrimp
    Malina N.

    Ming's Seafood Restaurant in Malden, MA is my go to spot for dim sum! Definitely busy on the weekends but if you come towards opening there is little to no wait! There's also a location in Quincy for those on the south shore! I recommend trying anything on their dim sum menu because you really can't miss with any of the dishes but my personal favorites are always the siu mai, har kau, and steamed rice rolls with shrimp

    Alice D.

    Always a solid spot for dimsum in the Malden area - definitely somewhere I'd recommend! Came here for brunch on a Sunday morning and we were here right at opening so of course we didn't have an issue finding a seat. It felt like your typical dimsum spot with the white tablecloths and bustling environment. They have a good variety of dimsum dishes and the portions felt relatively fair - we left very full and had a great time. Service was what you'd expect from a Chinese restaurant so not fantastic, but efficient and relatively solid. I definitely would come back in the future for dimsum again!

    Braised Duck with Mushroom (Half) K
    Monica L.

    Large portions! Did not expect the fish to be so thin and skinny so it felt mostly like eating fried stick. But good flavor still! The duck wasn't super tender but was decent amount and the mushrooms were great bc they soaked up all the flavor The rice was classic, can't go wrong w fried rice, lots of things in it so also pretty tasty Waiters were quick and served the food p fast after ordering (but also restaurant wasn't too packed when we went) Inside is large and fancy vibes, big tables = room for lots of food and lots of ppl :)

    I thought Ming's at the Malden location was pretty good. We came in on a weekday for a late lunch with also a large party. The restaurant can accommodate many large parties. I thought the food was pretty solid--we ordered a mix of dim sum items and traditional Chinese plates. Some notable pics I've took to share was the lobster which tasted fresh and the sauce was great. The server did bring out the live lobsters to share with us of what they were offering. As for the some of the dim sum items we had, no complaints there. Had a friend that use to live around the Malden area and he said this was one of his favorite dim sum places around the Boston area. Service was actually pretty nice--the server wasn't too stressed and staff was attentive on our party if we needed anything. What's truly a bust at this location though is parking.... There ain't much--even when we visited on a weekday. I can only imagine this restaurant being crazy for parking on weekends.

    It's a really good restaurant. Ming's specialist in Cantonese seafood. They serve both dim sum and dinner. Very clean restaurant and I really recommend it.

    If i park in garage nearby. Do they validate parking?

    We had a Wedding ceremony there. The restaurant validates the parking ticket for the garage at 170 Centre St., which is 1 block away, but I am not sure if they validate it during dim sum time.

    Are there any parking spaces?

    Yes, meter parking

    What time do they serve dim sum until?

    3pm

    Do they offer their full dim sum menu for takeout during COVID?

    How much were the coral shrimps I see?

    Do they serve dim sum on week days?

    Yes! They serve dim sum with the carts every day (EVEN weekdays) upon opening. But, note that the regular chef doesn't arrive until 11:00am so certain dishes (like lo bak go/fried turnip cake) can't be made until that time. I don't know when dim sum… Read more

    I heard all of the hype about District Kitchen. So I decided to give it a try. First I must say,…read moremake sure you make a reservation especially if it's on the weekend. This place is tiny. Very compact if you don't try and reserve a booth. The service was on point. The waiter we had was very attentive and took our order as soon as we sat. Great start. We ordered drinks and it kind of took some time. Once we got them, I noticed why it took long to get the drinks. This place caters to being more on the aesthetics. The drinks were great and beautifully decorated! That was a PLUS! Other than that, the food was okay. Nothing really special. They dress everything up really nice and make it photo worthy. So if you're looking to spruce up your social media with some nice photos of food and drinks, then this is your place! Overall, I'd give them a 7/10.

    Their instagram videos advertised "unhinged Halloween cocktails" and I ordered 2 of their Halloween…read morecocktails that seems rather put together. I got the cocktail that I think on the menu it said their would be sparklers or something with the presentation, so I guess I got my hopes up. A lot of their social media videos had bubbles, smokes, fire, sparklers, but my drink just came with smoke. It still looked pretty good, and tasted nice. The menu is huge. You can do a more 'Chinese style' dinner by sharing large entree items or you can get your own combo plate. I got the combo plate with 2 crab rangoons and general tso chicken. Food is pretty basic (well I did choose something basic haha). I've been here once around 8 years ago before they renovated to become this more modern Asian style. I must say its interesting what they've done to the place, they definitely have more business than before. But honestly it just feels like everything is for show, food is alright.
