ming garden Chinese Restaurant

I slept on this place for way too long because the location looks sus. But it’s the hottest, freshest delivery of old school Chinese takeout in the downtown / heights area! The portions are huge and my total is always under $20. I order on Uber eats and it arrives popping hot and correct every time (and I make mods to my order) thanks Ming!

Fantastic fried rice and sesame chicken. Did not include drinks nor utensils and entered store a second time. Great “Cheap Chinese Food.”

Cons first: • My Krab Wantons were SLIGHTLY over fried. • The area is sketchy, and all orders are takenout. Positives: • Krab Wantons had great flavor & consistency, both the pocket & the filling. • The house Sweet & Sour sauce is a deeper red than most places... if that's what it takes to get this awesome flavor, so be it! • Pork Fried Rice was crazy tender & flavorful enough to not need sauce ( but I used the rest of the Sweet & Sour anyways lol) • Veggie Springs Rolls come as 5 lil guys instead of 2 solid ones. Again, as long as they taste like these did you can serve them however you want. • According to the cashier, the General Tso's sauce is 65/35, sweet over spicy. I got the General Tso's Chicken with the ratio reversed, and it was perfect. Quality cuts of chicken, fried well but not burnt. The breading really held up against the thick sauce, even after a 20 min drive home. Everything was packed well & served piping hot with generous portions. Looks like I'm driving 20 mins for Chinese food everytime now. 🤤🤤🤤🤤

Was referred to this place by a friend. I was always hesitant to try it out because the building looks very run down. However I have to say it was very good! Fast and friendly service. The Mongolian beef was amazing and a tad spicy like I like it. Fried rice was also very good. Only thing I didn’t like was the lo mein. It had a strange taste to it. Overall would recommend.

Used to eat here 30 years ago. Just as good and reasonable then as is now. Best pork fried rice I've ever eaten. I've been a lot of places and never found a place that can quite duplicate it the same. Close but not quite. When I was visiting Tampa area I specifically went out of my way to eat at this restaurant. They are the Eddie van Halen of Chinese food.
