I only had take out. If the take out is that amazing. Can't wait to try in person.

So fortunate to have discovered this little late night gem. As a 2nd shift union worker, this place ticks all of the boxes. The quality of the menu items is spectacular. The menu item variety is vast and flavorful. My only advice is to check your bag before you leave. Two out of two times the orders were missing one item. Each time the Pad Thai was missing…maybe they just like to keep it to themselves. But, seriously it was such an odd phenomenon.
Do give them a try!

Diner Review №4

Great fresh drinks. Shrimp lo mein was hit. Hidden gem looking forward to trying other things🫡 Big boy portions 😂💪

Diner Review №5

Hungry for Chinese food at 2am? This is the place to order and pick up and eat.

Diner Review №6

Yum!! We got pineapple fried rice (spicy!) with tofu, beef and broccoli, and the potstickers. Everything was delicious and big portions.

Diner Review №7

Definitely adding to the late night rotation. The dumping soup was excellent. The fried dumplings were also good, and the house made chili oil was HOT. I mostly went because I had a smoothie craving. I had the passionfruit smoothie and added strawberries and mango. Too good!

Diner Review №8

It wasn't what I was hoping for. I ordered the mango milk tea with tapioca, and there wasn't any milk in there. It was just frozen mangos blended in the machine. It really tasted bitter. It was a total of $7 bucks.

Diner Review №9

Hey Min min! This is the first time we order from you and we order from Uber eats. I have to say two thumbs up for following directions I ordered no onions and no garlic and you guys stay true to that. Thank you. I ordered very late on Uber Eats and they were good with timing on both ends. I ordered the governors chicken it was not spicy not sure if it’s supposed to be at this restaurant but it was tasty even this late at night. The crab lagoon was overly cream cheesy not used to it because they have a top Chinese restaurant where I go.But it’s not bad. Being In Irving Park and traveling to me. I appreciate you guys in the effort. Keep doing a good job thank you!!!

Diner Review №10

I order Uber eats from here once a week and it’s like 5 meals in one for about $40 (on Ubers there’s more fees so prices might be higher). I get the wonton soup with a side of extra noodles and the pork udon noodles. So good, best Asian food on the north side. Used to live near Chinatown and was sad when I moved up north but this place saved my life. Eat here it’s amazing and affordable

Diner Review №11

Quality and quantity were great Szechuan Broccoli in Garlic Sauce was amazing perfect blend of species 5/5. Pad Kee Mao was good but the sauce was not mixed
evenly 3/5

Diner Review №12

bubble tea worth to try!

Diner Review №13

Ordered delivery and everything arrived hot and fresh. Everything was SO good. So full of flavor and the sauces just made it even better. Will certainly be ordering again.

Diner Review №14

I ordered the fried rice. Wasn't one piece of broccoli or carrot in the damn thing.

Diner Review №15

This has been my favorite spot for years and I order from here often. The prices have always been on the lower end and the quality is amazing. I love their smoothies, especially! Their crab ragoon is so oooooo good and the sizes are worth the price.

Diner Review №16

find out from my friend, this restaurant offers good Asian food. my favored one is orange chicken and fried rice chicken.

Diner Review №17

First of all this restaurant is one of the only restaurants that sell Chinese food that is open late on this side of Chicago and I love them for that. Secondly, on the website if you place an order for the first time you get 15% off which is also very nice. My order was finished within 20 minutes, the fresh fruit freeze was very good although the mango was the only thing I could taste it was still very refreshing and the combination fried rice was perfect. I wish the portion was a little bigger, but other than that I have no complaints. Definitely worth a try and the prices are fair

Diner Review №18

It smells like sewage here and the man there is rude. There are waaaay better asian places nearby and those places have kind staff. SKIP THIS PLACE🤮

Diner Review №19

I ordered food yesterday for pick up, it was delicious, they were able to make the orange chicken not spicy which is amazing and the other two dishes (traditional beef stone rice bowl and the honey pepper short rib plate) were great as well. We ordered online and it was ready in 25 minutes. I highly recommend 😀

They DONT GIVE ANY RICE !!! MAKE SURE YOU ORDER RICE !! ASIAN place and no rice really. We ordered online and it was no mark that no rice. We had to cook our rice at home. Pay $60 and had to cook our rice by the time we ate food was cold . 🥶

Diner Review №24

I just ordered my food 15 minutes again and now it’s saying my food is on the way . I put in th whites I wanted it to be cooked freshly so I hope my food taste how I want it to

Diner Review №27

I’m surprised this place doesn’t have more reviews! My husband and I live close by so we order from here on the regular and have tried MANY dishes. For having such a range of cuisines all of them have been great.

Diner Review №28

I ordered the tofu and mushroom dish for delivery and it was honestly one of the best meals I've had in a long time. Love that they were open and delivering late, too

Diner Review №29

The vegetable egg rolls are good, chicken lomein average. They're open until 2am.

Diner Review №30

I enjoy ordering from Min Min, the food is a bit on the pricey side but they give you great portions and everything taste and looks fresh. I’ve ordered a couple times and never been disappointed. If you call them directly they offer delivery or you can also order online. 😊

Diner Review №31

First time ordering, what a wonderful experience! Got the stir fry udon noodles and the Japanese pork and chicken dumplings. My food showed up early, the delivery man sent a very nice message regarding the timing of the arrival of my food - not to mention he brought it up to my condo door, everything was hot and delicious 😋

Diner Review №32

Good service

Diner Review №33

Got a takeout late in the night and they accommodated my special requests very well. I got Garlic Shrimp with soft noodles and asked for the shrimp to be stir-fried instead of deep-fried and it was fresh, hot and delicious!

Diner Review №34

Great smoothies! A little pricey but the portions are big, love their orange chicken

Diner Review №35

Do not order from this place. Food took over an hour to get to us with no communication, despite being 5 minutes away. The food was subpar, little to no flavor and lacked authenticity. Will not be going here again.

Diner Review №36

We got 3 items
Beef fried rice - 5 out of 5 stars
Kung pao chicken - 4 out of 5 stars
Thai curry noodles - 6 out of 5 stars

Absolutely loved the food!

Diner Review №37

Second time ordering from this restaurant.. I really enjoy their Garlic Shrimp Noodle. I also ordered the chicken wings had a weird taste to them. Not sure what it was but it wasnt horrible. Ive had the vietnamese spring rolls from here and they are gigantic.

Overall a decent spot for good greasy chinese fast food.

Diner Review №38

I hate to leave a bad review but the 2 dishes I ordered contained the driest chicken know to man. Crunchy almost all the way through except the very largest pieces. Maybe because I ordered at 10pm? Not sure but it was not good.

Diner Review №39

The food tasted bland. I ordered over the phone and payed with card and they took out money that they shouldn’t have. That wasn’t the total of my order.

Diner Review №40

Good food and flavors, good service

Diner Review №41

Today is the day I have to say goodbye to Min Min. I’ve ordered from here multiple times and some errors were “accepted” as human error and we gave them the benefit of the doubt.

We are a family of pescatarians that do not eat meat. My husband has been a pescatarian for over 20 yrs. My son is 15 and he has been a pescatarian all his life. I have about 11 years since I have had meat.

Today we had a very long day and my son had not eaten anything since his lunch at school around 1pm. We got home at 11pm and we had ordered from Min Min.

Curry dish, rice dish and a tofu dish.
The curry and rice dishes both had chicken!
The curry had both shrimp and smaller pieces of chicken. The rice dish had a lot of chicken chunks.

I had called to let them know what happened and the woman who answered confirmed that it had been their mistake. I was expecting they may be able to bring me the correct dish and instead she told me to just cancel the dish on the Uber app and get my money back.
She said ”there is no way we can deliver the dish to you.”

So I had to cancel and figure out what to make my son for dinner. The point of all of this is that they don’t seem to be prepared to handle these type of situations the correct way.

The previous time I ordered they got my dish incorrect as well. I don’t know who is cooking but they don’t pay attention to details or just don’t know how to read a food ticket.

It’s a very disappointing experience. You would think they take more care of the people that want to eat their food. But they don’t, and we become the items they can just cancel on an app.

I hope they understand that they lost a customer that had shared their restaurant name and honestly brought a lot of people to them.
I will make sure they also stop ordering from them.

Diner Review №42

Ordered online but somehow the order didn’t pop up on their end. Went there to show them my online order on my phone and my bank statement proving the money was taken out and they said they couldn’t help me. Basically, I’m out $26 and I’m still hungry. Terrible customer service.

Diner Review №43

Bubble tea is great, the food, not so much.

Diner Review №44

the thai ice milk tea with tapioca was amazingggg, I forced all my friends to try it and they all loved it too. the fried pork egg rolls were also amazing

Diner Review №45

The food is literally decent. Barely got us through. I honestly didn't even finish it.

Diner Review №46

Dropped in to get everyone some bubble tea late at night and ended up getting the fried soft shell crabs out of curiosity and was delighted by how good it tasted. The person taking our order was very nice and polite and made sure we all got what we ordered even though it was late at night and they were quite busy filling call-in pick-up orders. The bubble tea was okay, so we enjoyed our late night treat.

Diner Review №47

Solid place i have yet to dislike a meal from here highly recommend

Diner Review №48

SUPER yummy food, and taste pretty healthy. Would def recommend this spot if you want some well made Asian food.

Diner Review №49

This place is DELICIOUS. We did not expect *such* amazing food at midnight on Christmas Day. We ordered the lemongrass tofu, fried veggie egg rolls, Korean spicy fried veggie dumplings, chicken lo mein and rose bubble tea. The tofu wasn't very saucy but I didn't mind because I just added soy sauce to rice to go with it. The flavor and tofu texture was so good with the occasional kick. (Just ask for it without fish sauce if you're vegetarian.) Both appetizers were awesome but we are especially excited to get those dumplings again - only one order wasn't enough at all. Lo mein was "fantastic" according to my fiancé with a good balance of ingredients and noodles. The bubble tea was tasty but only get that flavor if you're a huge fan of rose. I'm looking forward to trying taro next time. Portions were all great. I got 3-4 meals out of my tofu dish. Can't wait to go back!

UPDATE: taro bubble tea is absolutely awesome. We now get it every time we order from here.

Diner Review №51

It was our first time eating here & we ordered chicken chow mein & orange chicken , my girlfriend was disappointed in how they handed us the chow mein every place we gone they give it us hot & ready but here at min min they gave us the noodle hard in one cup & the soup & chicken with veggies & i know for a fact that was not no chow mein not only that the orange chicken had a weird taste that later made my stomach hurt & almost throw up.

Diner Review №52

Shrimp tempura and smoothies are really good. I didn’t like the pad Thai, Thai shrimp (didn’t look like the picture at all and overall not good), and they had one of my meals incorrect. Definitely not a place to go to for the munchies :/. Food seems/ taste mediocre

Diner Review №53

Always delicious and the smoothies are so fresh! I love this place

Diner Review №54

Great smoothies, but the food is only okay and the quality can vary from day to day

Diner Review №55

What a neighborhood treasure. Fast, fresh, and great variety of Asian dishes. Wonton soup is really first rate.

Diner Review №56

Diner Review №57

I ordered the Governor's Chicken, veggie egg rolls, and mango milk tea for delivery. This was my first time ordering from here, and the food was great! The food was delivered hot and the tea was packaged separately and cold. The veggie egg rolls were nice and crispy, and the Governor's Chicken and mango milk tea had a great flavor. Also, the portions are very good for the price! I will certainly be ordering again.

I’ve since moved from Chicago but Min Min was our go to on late nights..or any time really. Foods always hot, delicious and to order. Delivery always so fast! Miss you Min Min 😢

Diner Review №60

Food was good, bubble tea was better.

Diner Review №61

This is my new favorite Chinese place in Lakeview!! Their sesame chicken and chow mein are amazing!

Diner Review №62

SUCH GOOD FOOD! We just moved close by and saw some positive reviews so decided to give it a try. We’ve lived in Chicago for 5 years and hadn’t found an Asian restaurant we loved. Min Min blew us away. Potstickers, pad Thai, orange chicken everything we’ve ordered as been great. The staff is incredibly kind which is such a huge plus.

Diner Review №63

The delivery was on time the food was disappointing. Spring rolls were mostly noodles and had no mint or celantro. The BBQ rice had fatty meat with large bones. The overall experience was forgettable. The driver parked facing the wrong direction and shut off his lights. It was like waiting for an accident to happen. Please note if you have a beard masks are not adequate as your beard creates gaps unless it is fitted.

Diner Review №64

Best Asian spot in miles

Diner Review №70

Was spending about $50 a week here and they stopped delivering to anyone that isnt in a "white" neighborhood.

Diner Review №71

Decided to give this place a try. Not a good experience. The woman behind the counter is not customer service friendly. She gives off a very negative and unpleasant vibe and act as though you are bothering her. First and last visit.

Diner Review №72

I Did not feel welcomed. When I went in last night. The lady behind tje looked at us no hello no welcome. Went in the kitchen said some to the cooks who just stared at us througj the window..and the pork fried rice was greasy, and loaded with fat. No flavor..And their large portion for $ 9.00 was more like a small...this was around 11:30 pm. The 1 st time. I went it was cool. But i will not be going back

Diner Review №73

Fabulous!! Went after we read teviews!!

Diner Review №74

I can't get enough of this place and it's food. I always go here to eat when I need to treat myself. I love the late night hours because I can still run over after work to pick up my favorite bites. Very fast service.

Diner Review №75

Great authentic lil restaurant. Definitely recommend. 😊

Our new favorite Asian spot in the neighborhood, I have no idea how we’ve never ordered from here before.

Diner Review №81

Average food, EXPENSIVE prices . I would rather hit Youngs Chinese food right around the corner for some deliciousness!

Diner Review №82

Late night food 😍

Diner Review №83

Had an avocado smoothie and it was really good. Very creamy. Will try their food next time.

Diner Review №84

Diner Review №85

One of my preferred places for quality Asian food. Do not leave if it's busy, it is worth it. Had a friend come into town and asked me to take him here again. It has a good interior.

Diner Review №86

Always amazing and fresh. Definitely some of the best food in the hood for sure. Counting down the minutes until 5pm when I can order!

Rence, learn some manners. Bet you never worked hard a day in your life. These people working here are always kind and accommodating.

Diner Review №87

Diner Review №89

Came here 30 minutes prior their stated closing time. We were looking at the menu for probably 10 seconds when one of the worker said this: “ ARE YOU GUYS READY TO ORDER? HURRY UP”

Pretty rude I would say. The restaurant said 2:30AM. If you really didn’t want people coming in, close the damn door!

Diner Review №90

There was hair in my smoothie that’s all I’m gonna say. Short grey hair by the boat the boat load.

Diner Review №91

Beef cube and tomato is amazing. Best bubble teas in lakeview

Diner Review №92

I love the smoothies from this place, But the new schedule sucks, I wish they could open earlier.

Diner Review №96

Great food for cheap!

Diner Review №97

Food came quickly and prizes are good, but if they do not deliver what toy order, it doesn't mean anything.

I ordered three things only and they got one wrong. Then, they refused to bring the correct item. They gave me a credit for next time.

What about this time! So ridiculous.

Really disappointed. Buyer beware.

I should have checked the order, but only three items...pot stickers, fried rice and beef broccoli. Nothing too difficult, I thought.

Diner Review №98

I'm a little angry about how good this place is, 'cause I pass by it all the time and have only just gone for the first time. I got the chow mein noodles with pork, the noodles were the perfect ratio of crispy and there was a ton of pork and veggies in really tasty sauce.

The crab rangoon had a really nice, strong crab flavor, with lots of filling, really nice stuff.

The fruit freezes are pretty dang big, and REALLY good. I had the kiwi strawberry with lychee jelly and it was so good, I'd easily stop by there just for the fruit freezes.

The service was fast and friendly, the food was hot and fresh. All in all, a very strong recommendation from me.

Diner Review №100

The spicy beef tofu soup should be the official soup of Chicago winters. Absolutely perfect. I've found no equivalent anywhere else. I'm done looking. This place rocks. And the staff is super nice. Bring cash for the soup. $10 credit card minimum.

Diner Review №109

Best bubble teas in town!

Twice now I've had to wait well past my pick-up time, we'll over 25+ minutes wait. No communication, not even an apology before I had to say it's been past 20 minutes of my pick up time.

Diner Review №119

I would have given them a 5 because I really loved the green coconut curry I've had once. However we had actually ordered red curry, but got green curry! Lol, wasn't disappointed in the food at all and will certainly return for their tastiness and affordability.

Diner Review №120

Awesome variety! Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, etc. Best bubble tea ever

Diner Review №121

I always order beef broccoli and a drink they are both delicious especially the drink you can add boba or tapioca!

Diner Review №122

Large amount of aisia food to order, but the taste is only average level

Diner Review №123

Ordered online for pickup with no problems. Huge portions, very spicy, yum!

Diner Review №124

Love this place! You can tell they care about the food they prepare. Ordered the Spicy Thai Green Curry Chicken which was just the right amount of heat before being too hot last night. Perfect for a cold winter day. The flavor is delicious with crispy green beans, bamboo shoots, red pepper and onion. My boyfriend always gets the Sesame Chicken and says it's best he had. Crab Rangoon are awesome also! Can't wait to explore their giant menu.

Diner Review №125

Diner Review №126

I only come here to get Thai Iced Tea but it's great! The service is friendly and quick.

Diner Review №127

We ordered $28 worth of food, and had no problem that the bill came out to over $40, BUT when it wasn't delivered for over an hour and 20 minutes, I called to cancel the order. The woman who answered the phone yelled at me, and then said they would hold my money (I paid with a credit card, my mistake) for 7-10 days. Just a horrible experience. We won't order from them again.

Diner Review №128

I love this place. The menu is wide, so as others have said, I'm sure there are strengths and weaknesses. I don't veer far from the Chinese list, and the things I've tried have been delicious: spicy string beans, shrimp and scallop fried rice, salt and pepper Japanese tofu. They also get major props for serviceable bubble tea (Joy Yee's To Go was GARBAGE) – it's too sweet, but they do the tapioca right. I've also never had an issue with service; they've always been very quick!

Diner Review №129

Crazy huge menu with a wide variety of Asian dishes. Small, modern interior. Luch special until 3pm is a good deal.

Diner Review №130

Foreigners did not try Korean food experience do not know whether this is a taste to see yiguna Korea flavor. Never taste in restaurants is not a Korean flavor, Never

비빔밥을 주문했다
비주얼은 굳... 맛은 짜장밥 같기도하고 일식 규동에 뭘 섞음것 같기도 하고 ....풉

Diner Review №131

The selection is great. Craving Malaysian? They have it. Korean? That too. I can't speak to its authenticity, but the food is hot, fresh, and delicious. It's also delivered with prompt service in a modern space.

I tried the Korean Specialty Noodle and the Malaysian Pork with String Beans. Both were excellent, and the portions were very large. I also tried the cantaloupe smoothie with boba, and the flavor was perfect. For two, we spent around $30, and I felt it was well worth that amount.

I intend to go back whenever I'm craving something new and interesting.
