    Ming Tasty, Oakland's Chinatown The service here is pretty good. They get very busy during the weekends so I try to come by on weekdays. My usual are: shrimp dumplings, siu mai and shrimp rice noodles. Everything was delicious. I highly recommend to come early! Would come back whenever I'm in the area. There's street parking.

    This the menu

    We went in late in a Sunday, about an hour before closing. We were concerned about the food not being fresh. We were so wrong. The dim sum here is ordered off a menu vs on a rolling cart. We ordered a mix of dumplings, noodles and the Shu Mai. The broccoli was also amazing. The shu mai was ENORMOUS...and so delicious. The staff was friendly, and the food came out hot and delicious. Excellent hot tea and good chili crisp and chili garlic - ask for the hot mustard too. Highly recommended!!

    We came in 10 minutes after opening on Sunday morning and the place was 1/3 full We left about an hour later and there about a dozen people waiting. So get here early! We had a few things but really wanted the spare ribs clay pot. The rice was crispy and the whole dish was great.

    My sister got dim sum from Ming's Tasty Restaurant for our family of eight, ordered and delivered via Uber Eats. For takeout dim sum, it was pretty dang good. We had most of the staples and everyone liked the food, from the grandparents on down to the grandkids. I found the food to be quite authentic and tasty, so Ming's Tasty gets five Yelp stars from me. We ate a variety of different items including steamed BBQ pork buns, pan-fried turnip cake, steamed bean curd skin rolls, chicken feet with Peking sauce, pork ribs in black bean sauce, beef omasum with ginger and scallions, sticky rice with minced pork in lotus leaf, deep-fried taro "turnovers," pork and shrimp dumplings (siu mai), steamed shrimp dumplings (har gow), Chiu Chow dumplings (fun guo), BBQ pork rice noodle rolls, shrimp rice noodle rolls, Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce, and more. Yum. Ming's Tasty is located in the heart of Oakland's Chinatown and opened in 2018.

    The most delicious, juiciest shu mai's I have ever had in my life.

    I just came back from traveling to Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Taiwan for 5 weeks. When I ate dim sum in Guangzhou( where dimsum actually originated ), I actually missed Ming's Tasty! I tried multiple dim sum restaurants all over China and I really am so Thankful that we have Ming's tasty in the Bay Area, especially the East Bay. You don't even have to travel to Asia to enjoy authentic dimsum! Must try 燒賣 ( pork dumpling) 糯米鸡 ( sticky rice lotus leaf wrap) 流沙包 ( savory, sweet salted egg yolk buns) 叉燒包 ( bbq pork buns) 豉汁蒸排骨 ( steam spare ribs with black bean) 蝦腸粉 ( shrimp rice roll) 鹹水角 ( savory, sweet fried dumplings ) 風抓 ( chicken feet) 香芋椰汁甜點 ( taro, coconut pudding )

    Just like rest of the comments- once of the best dim-sum spot in the town. Lines get crazy but it also goes quick. We were there for brunch on Saturday and we waited good 45 minutes until we got our table to sit down. We were so excited to eat that I didn't even took all the pictures. We got bunch of different dishes and everything tasted absolutely delicious. Rice noodle roll with shrimp, steamed fish balls, and fries pumpkin Ball some highlights other than their top rated dishes like shrimp dumplings and pork and shrimp dumplings. Great place and great good. I will visit again!

    I was on a grocery shopping run and read about Ming's Sui Mai. I had lunch with a friend of mine at another restaurant in Chinatown before we did our shopping. We both ordered one dish of Sui Mai to go so we could try it out. My wife and I actually liked the taste, texture and flavor. The dish includes 4 Sui Mai for $7.99 but the menu shows $6.45 for the dish so a bit confused on the price difference. We plan to go back but dine in next time so we can try the other many dishes. Based upon the Sui Mai, this is definitely worth trying out for Dim Sum. I forgot to take pictures of the Sui Mai but I did take pictures of the menus and restaurant. Review Update Paragraph: Correction to my original post, I can't do math in my head. We paid $14.99 for two orders which comes out to $7.50 each so I'm guessing the difference between the Owner's response and what we paid might be for using a credit card.

    Came here for lunch with a friend. The restaurant was packed at lunch time! We ordered to go but it took a while due to the crowd. We ordered the Steamed Char Sui Baos and the Wonton soup (with added beef brisket stew. Both were yummy and not super expensive.

    I was pleasantly surprised what a gem this place was for dim sum. In Oakland there aren't many choices anymore. It is a small unassuming place and it is so easy to miss if I had not seen a group of people waiting outside for a table. Curiosity made me look it up and I saw the great reviews and had to try it. Super small inside so I imagine a wait when busy. I ordered online which is so convenient. There is a $1 service charge added on and you pay once you pick up your food. I tried my trusted favorites: har gao, baked bbq pork buns, steamed pork buns, chicken sticky rice in lotus leaves, hom soy gok ( fried football dumplings with meat), and shrimp cheng fun (shrimp rice noodle). I actually ordered 2 times before writing this review. All items were piping hot when I picked them up and fresh. If you have had dim sum before you know filling can sometimes be on the lighter side. This is the first place I have ever tried that packs their dumplings with meat! I am shocked and pleasantly surprised at the generous filling. Everything was so fresh, tasty, the way it should really be. No skimping on meat here and their price point is so reasonable there is no reason not to go here. This is definitely my go to for dim sum. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed!

    I was craving dim sum and we went around 3pm. It wasn't busy and we got seated fast. We were so hungry and definitely over ordered haha. We ordered the preserved egg and pork porridge, har gow, shumai, taro turnover, deep fried meat dumpling, tripe, rice noodle roll w/shrimp, rice noodle roll w/crispy shrimp, and chinese donut. My favorite were the rice noodle rolls. I loved how soft it was and the chili oil with it *chefs kiss*. I wish it came with the sweet soy sauce instead of regular soy sauce though. Would come back if i'm in the area.

    This past weekend (Sun 15 Feb2026), my sister, niece and I went out for a dim sum brunch for an early celebration of Chinese New Year. My sister had remembered an article in the SF Chronicle's Food section which ranked Misty's Tasty as "top-ranked" and "best, authentic dim sum in the East Bay". Behind a graffiti'd exterior, you enter a smaller restaurant than most and it was definitely buzzing. We got there early-ish(btw 1030 & 1100) and there was already a short waitlist. There is nothing fancy about this place and don't expect white table cloths and napkins. Once seated, be ready to order off a paper menu which also doubles as their to-go menu. Our selection consisted of * 2 orders of snowy Baked BBQ Pork buns * Pea sprout dumpling w shrimp * Steamed Shrimp dumpling (Har Gow) * Steamed spareribs in black bean sauce * Preserved meat w rice in a claypot * Rice noodle roll w beef cilantro *Bean curd skin rolls (Fu Pei Guen) * Chicken feet w Peking Sauce * Deep fried meat dumpling (Ham Sui Gok) * Deep Fried Taro dumpling (Wu Goo) * Pork and Shrimp dumpling (Sui Mai) The service was fast as each dish came out "piping hot". Each dish is categorize under Small, Medium, Large and X-tra Large. When we were leaving, there must have been 20+ folks waiting We will definitely return to try other options. Each item is priced appropriately, good portions and tasty!!

    Siu mai
    Angela C.

    We ordered a lot! Everything here is really great and I would come here all the time if I could. Ming's Tasty dim sum is one of the best in the Bay Area. You can taste the freshness of the dishes and it really shows. Their service and turnaround is relatively quick and efficient. We ordered the black bean pork spare ribs, chicken feet, siu mai, shrimp dumplings, meat-stuffed snow bun, shrimp rice rolls, fried turnip cake, and fried stuffed meat dumplings. All of their food is pretty good, but some of the must-try dishes here are the shrimp rice rolls and the fried stuffed meat dumplings. Best to come with a larger party, so you can try it all!

    Wow, it's been a while since I came back here and it's amazing!!! their food is so fresh. It gets really packed around 11 AM, but it's worth the wait !!! you can tell us very family oriented in here! Definitely could take your parents or grandpa grandparents out to eat here! Super clean and everyone is super attentive!! definitely will come back again!

( This had been on my radar to DoorDash) Suprisingly I was seated quickly as it was 12:30 on a Sunday. The menu is quite extensive. I'd been craving chili sauce dumpling and I saw those on the menu and ordered spicy combination noodles. At the waitress suggestion and reading previous reviews I opted for the hand pulled (warning they are a $1 more). Service was quick and I was also served a pot of nice oolong tea. Now the dumplings were spot on thought I had to add more chili sauce. The hand pulled noodles were ok. Maybe because I'm not a big chowmein person and prefer the chowfun noodles, I found them too chewy for me. Also I had to add the chili sauce too. I also ordered to go greens and Black eared mushrooms. There is plenty of food and I have food for two days as I have rice a home to go with the greens. I think I'll stick with New Gold Medal though.

It also came with their Daily Special Soup which was a Carrot Soup with pork bones and soy beans. Food was served fairly quickly and was very good. Sizzling Beef with Mixed Mushrooms was really tasty and full of wok aroma. The Braised Tofu dish came with big pieces of tofu that were fried on the outside and topped with fish fillet, shrimps, squid, and baby scallops. The Peking Style Pork Chops were still a little crispy even though they were covered with a sweet and sour sauce that was very flavorful. This pork chop dish was huge.

I always get it with their Fried Rice and it always makes two meals for me so I'll get lunch and dinner. On top of this the staff is always above and beyond friendly. My mom hasn't been in that place for ages but the lady still asks how's she's doing. She found out I like the chili pepper oil and ever since she always makes sure to stuff a bunch in the box for me, I don't even have to mention it. On top of that she occasionally throws in free soup for myself and my mother, and I'm not even a weekly customer. The only negative thing to say about this place is probably that the restaurant itself looks a little beat up and dingy but honestly with everything else I could care less. Good food and good people, and good prices. I'm actually only writing this review because I want to get some of their food but they're not open for another few hours. They deserve all the best praise. 10/10

One of the benefits of getting there early is getting a window seat to enjoy the bay views. By 11.15am the restaurant was pretty full. We checked off our dim-sum items on a paper menu at our table and handed it to the staff. Food arrived promptly and served hot. We ordered our regular favorite dim sum and the hi lights were the taro pudding dessert, the crispy vermicelli with pork ( must request vinegar) and the chicken paws. In general the dim Sum were a good size and tasted as expected. But the chicken and fish maw was dry and lacked flavor. The chicken were irregular in size and just did not look appetizing. It did come with a mushroom and fake crabmeat. Definitely had better elsewhere. Overall, a huge restaurant, with great views and ample variety of dim-sum to choose from.

We were lucky to find a parking spot right away but there seems to be ample parking since there are several lots in front but we did overhear someone did have to park "far away" which led them to have a long walk to meet their party. Waited about 30 minutes for a table for 6 and once seated, was given menus to mark what we'd like to order, was kind of disappointed to not see roaming carts with the exception of 2 serving Tofu Fa (a plus!) and some baked pork buns. With that said, since we have to put in menu orders with waiters, it does add to a little more lag time from the food getting delivered to the table and eating. If you end up ordering some of the fried stuff, there can be extended wait times as a lot of the stuff seems cook to order. Ended up order siu mai, har gow, shrimp rice noodle, and house special (Hong Kong style) pan fried noodle which were good and flavorful. HK noodle was above average and hit the spot; not the best, but is mine and my daughter's favorite dish when going for dim sum. Overall a solid dim sum place in the East Bay if you don't wanna make the trek to the City or Chinatown in Oakland. Food quality is good. Service was above average, our waiter would actually check in periodically and chatted with us. I've been to other places where the food was good but it impossible to ask for stuff and always seemed like a bother if you ask them for anything. They also give you pitchers of water for refills (smart) so you don't have to keep bothering them for refills.

I found out after I placed the order that instead of picking from the left side for the less expensive menu and the right side for the more expensive menu, we can select from either side for either menu! We also added one dish because my wife insisted that we needed more veg! Our server presented us with a bowl of House Soup. It was a great way to get our stomachs ready for the deluge of dinner about to happen! Whole Roast Duck - 3 - We had dinner the previous night at another Chinese restaurant and had a Peking Duck. It was odd that the Peking Duck was more moist than our Roast Duck. Yes, the fatty parts were fatty but the non-fatty parts were dry. Braised Beef Stew - 4 - Lots of beef. Excellent sauce. Missing Tendons and Daikon. Honey Walnut Shrimp - 3 - Even under the flavor of the sauce, I could tell that some of the shrimp weren't as fresh as they should be. No one else said anything so I let it go. Peking Rib - 5 - If I drank beer, this would be an excellent dish to nosh on while doing so. Crispy Fried Flounder - 4 - The flounder was okay, but the fins and tail didn't get super crispy so we could enjoy them as chips. The other thing that may have made it better for us might be a sweet and sour sauce. Chicken with Mixed Mushrooms - 4 - Yep, I'm a mushroom freak. I could care less about the chicken, but mushrooms? I'm there. Stir-fried Clams in Black Bean Sauce - 4 - These were okay. My wife said she got a bunch of empty shells. That happens sometimes. No idea what other people got. Chicken Chow Mein - 5 - got the skinny noodles fried soy sauce chow mein style. Yummy! Snap Pea Beef - 4 - Beef was tender. Could have used more snap peas. Overall, a decent dish. I also included pictures of the two "set" menus. Note that $88 comes with a 1/2 Royal Chicken while $168 comes with a whole Roast Duck. Service was okay. Food came in spurts. Soup. Wait. Two dishes. Wait. Wait. Wait. Most everything else. Wait. Last three dishes.

    Usually love it, but bad experience today. 2:30 pm, 9/4/25. Not very busy. Service was very slow…read more Coconut chicken soup was just ok. Chicken was not flavorful. Found two hairs inside. Come on, HK, you can do better.
