Minghin Cuisine - Rolling Meadows

This was my first visit to MingHin Cuisine, where I introduced my twelve-year-old niece to dim sum. Our experience was exceptional, from the restaurant's ambiance to the quality of the food. The service was very friendly, and one of the servers promptly brought us a dish we had ordered but hadn't received. Most importantly, everything we ordered came out of the kitchen hot and fresh. We can't wait to go back!

If you haven’t had this place, you’re truly missing out. The food is phenomenal!! So fresh, large portions, so flavorful. There’s nothing we’ve ordered that wasn’t a 10/10. Go!

We ordered a variety of dishes: roasted pork belly, siu mai, chicken feet, stuffed sticky rice in lotus leaf, beef balls, and baked BBQ pork buns. The roasted pork belly was fantastic—flavorful and fatty, just how I like it! The siu mai was cooked perfectly, and the chicken feet were wonderfully tender. The sticky rice was also rich in flavor and absolutely delicious! The beef balls were delightful as well, and surprisingly, the baked BBQ pork buns were incredible. I usually don't reach for them, but these were exceptional! Overall, this place is amazing! I can’t wait to go back!

We always come back here for the food, especially for the dim sum, which is great if you live in the north suburb and don’t want to drive to China town in Chicago. The drawback is that there’s always a wait, especially on the weekend. They’ll give you a number and you have to wait inside to hear them call you, and they need to have everybody in your party present to be seated. Service is eh— they don’t talk, don’t ask anything, and don’t check in on you. They will bring the food you order, thats it. If you need something, you need to wave or go to the server station, and they seem to be annoyed by that. Bottom line: make sure you don’t come when you’re super hungry; have everybody waiting inside and ready to order right away when you sit, ask everything you need when the server comes to take your order, and just enjoy the food and be patient.

We visited this restaurant yesterday for dim sum and came back for lunch today, where we had fried noodles, barbecue pork, and more. Both times, the food was excellent and nearly on par with Hong Kong standards. The restaurant itself was clean and pleasant. However, the service was just average—some of the waitstaff were rude and unfriendly, seeming more interested in chatting among themselves than attending to customers. If it weren't for the service, I would have given a 5-star rating.
