MingHin Cuisine

There are only a handful of places I like for dim sum in Chicago’s Chinatown. Phoenix is the stalwart – and much-needed renovation in 2014 really brought them into the modern era. Cai, on the 2nd floor of the Chinatown Square Mall, is more elegant, but still, bustling on a weekend (which means plenty of turnover). But I also like the multi-level dining at MingHin, also in the Mall. The har gao is freshly-steamed, the baos are generously filled and the congee is supremely satisfying. You know it gets the seal of approval when my Chinese friends devour as heartily as I do on a Sunday morning.
