Ming's Restaurant

Whenever I move into a neighborhood, I have to find the best Pizza, the best Sushi and the best Chinese Food. Ming's is where I go for my Chinese Food. I have found it to be one of the best in the area and the only place I go when I want Chinese Food. They offer primarily take-out, but there are some seats for dining in. Their food is always made fresh and hot when I arrive to pick it up, and it's always delicious. Whether you want Lo Mein, Soup, or Fried Rice Dishes, or Beef and Chicken Dinners, Ming's is one of the best places to get it.

Almost exclusively a takeout business, although they do have some tables on premises, which is more than I can say for many Chinese places in the area post-pandemic. The sesame chicken isn't quite as crunchy as you want it to be, the crab rangoons are very sweet, and I got some cabbage that looked past its prime, but the food is a good value for money overall, and they have lots of dishes with veggies in them, which I like. For pickup, they prefer you order by phone to avoid Doordash fees.

This is the first time I had food from Ming's, but so far very impressed. It was all well cooked, tasty, well seasoned and none of the fried stuff was greasy. I ordered Kung Pao shrimp and it was spicy! So often the menu indicates spicy, but it usually is bland - not this.

Ming's on State Street Schenectady (be careful there are 2 other Mings in the area) is outstanding. This Chinese food is the best. You must bring CASH. They don't accept any plastic, not even with a minimum order. I would deduct a star for that nuisance, but the food is really really good.

I ordered sweet and sour chicken, wonton soup, and sesame chicken. The sesame chicken I received was undercooked/pink. Please make sure to check your food if you eat from here! (Even though you really shouldn’t have to worry about something ridiculous like that when you’re a paying customer.) I’m lucky I saw that the chicken was uncooked because I’m pregnant. I ordered this food through Grubhub and the restaurant has it so you can’t leave any more reviews on the app, so they must have consistent food quality issues. Really disappointed and disgusted. I included a picture of the uncooked/pink sesame chicken.
