Ying Dim Sum

No frills dim sum in the food court of 88 Marketplace.You don't come here for the service because it's self service, but the food here is incredible - better than most of the full service dim sum places near here.

We always come to 88 marketplace but we have never had their food court dishes. Today we decided to try Ying Dim Sum. It was very delicious. We order the shu mai, soup dumplings, curry cuttle fish, shrimp, pork with chive dumplings, bbq pork bun and the Chinese doughnut. Everything was cooked from scratch so everything was fresh. The service was great. The ladies that took my order and served me were super nice. They always smiled and were so attentive. The ambience of course is food court vibe and family oriented. This place was very good and will definitely be back soon!

It's located in 88 Marketplace, about .5 miles from Chinatown. You go upstairs and there's a food court with a bakery, sushi, dim sum, kbbq, Szechuan and more offerings. I opted to have dim sum and there was a small line but you order at the counter and you receive a buzzer, it call came out within 10 minutes. The service was fast and polite. They are very efficient. They have small styrofoam plates, chopsticks, plastic silverware to the left of the counter to pick up, along with small bowls for your chili oil and soy sauce. I liked the steamed bao buns, ha cao, shu mai, chinese donut, and beef rice rolls, and shrimp rice rolls were all delicious. I've been craving rice rolls once I left NYC last year. The ones here are good too, although the meats are not rolled within the rice roll, more like placed on top. The sweet soup sauce ladled on top wasn't over powering the flavors of the rice roll, it complimented it well. I will recommend for those out of town to stop by. There's lots of food options, quite an experience and great price.

I decided to try this place after seeing some postsfr, as rice crepe is a favorite from my childhood. Note that it's cash-only. Located at the last stall in the food court, all orders are made-to-order. I had the shrimp rice crepe ($5.29), fried dough sticks rice crepe ($4.99), and preserved veggie congee ($3). The congee was the highlight, leading me to order a second serving. The shrimp rice crepe was decent, though not as silky as expected, and the fried dough sticks were crispy but overly doughy. The crepes lacked sufficient soy sauce, and I wish chili oil was available. The workers were not particularly friendly when asking for additional sauce.

The food here was a little below average for our liking. It was okay, but we've had better dim sum at many other Chinese dim sum restaurants. You order up front - this is inside 88 market place. Depending on the day they are closed early so there are some food items not available to purchase. Overall it was just okay. You eat your food in the shared dining space at 88 market place.

Great, fresh dim sum with fast and friendly service in the food court of 88 market. I took my order to go and it was quickly ready, well packed and everything was piping hot still on arrival, not to mention delicious! Lots of tables in the food court too if you want to eat there. Yum!

Situated inside the food court next to 88 Marker, this place offers piping hot, delicious dim sum at a great price. Order at the counter, takes about 10-15 minutes to pick up. Just a tip, you will be charged 3% extra for using card. My favorites were: 1) Siu Mai 烧卖 $5.492) Corn Dumpling with Shrimp 鲜虾粟米饼 $5.493) BBQ rice crepe 叉烧肠粉 $5.29The only thing I didn't like were the Taro Dumplings with pork and shrimp. It was very dense, dry and bland.

Located inside 88 Market, this cute little food court dim sum restaurant makes their food with love! We got the Shrimp Rice Crepe (2), Deep Fried Dough Stick Rice Crepe, Siu Mai, Spare Ribs, Chicken Feet, and soy milk. You can tell the crepes are made to order. Also, where other dim sum places use store-bought dough sticks, Ying's uses freshly made ones. This made the crepes have a delicious silky outer-layer with the best crunchy inner layer. We enjoyed every dish, but had to agree the spareribs were our least favorite. The soy milk is also freshly made and was a nice, warm beverage for the chilly morning. Overall, I think we paid ~$45 with tips, so not too bad at all considering how expensive dim sum is becoming. Tip: Everything is pretty much self serve, so feel free to go up to the counter area and mix sauces to dip your food in!

This dim sum stall inside 88 Market was quite busy with orders and it took a while to get our food. Nonetheless, we enjoyed our Taishan style dim sum at Ying Dim Sum, which is different from the traditional Hong Kong style dim sum houses in Chicago Chinatown. The flavors are more muted due to less salt and minimal MSG (if any). The dim sum dishes are made with very little oil or fat so it does taste healthier and closer to home cooking. I am not sure this place will appeal to the masses, but Taishan customers do appreciate the flavors and healthier option outside our homes. Recommended are: shrimp and spareribs crepes, green chives, pork & shrimp dumpling and the won ton soup. HK Milk tea is slightly sweetened but tasty. Wish it was a little hotter though.I see many other people getting the fried dough sticks and dipping it in the soy milk. Maybe I'll try that next time.Can't say service was super friendly, but that's how most Asian places are... straight forward and business focused.

Decently priced and extra delicious. Discovered this place for a lunch meal. The prices are reasonable and the food was extraordinarily good. The service is quick and what i absolutely love about this place is that food is pipping hot and fresh when served. I highly recommend if you're on a dim sum budget or a quick lunch. Highly recommend
