We order here pretty often, so it’s obviously not bad at all. My spouse is always happy with the broccoli chicken. I love the Thai curry shrimp, always delicious. Half the time the Szechuan tofu is great, perfectly crispy tofu in a lightly spicy thick sauce with good veggies. The other half of the time the tofu comes pretty soft/soggy. I also wish it were spicier, I’ve tried ordering it extra spicy but ultimately just add chili oil at home. My kids don’t recommend the boneless ribs, my spouse said they were ok but don’t reheat well. The spring rolls are exactly what you’d expect, I’d love a couple more veg appetizers but I know that’s asking a lot. Ultimately it’s a very respectable takeout choice.

The vegetables are colorful and fresh, as is everything else. Spring rolls appear to be homemade, the hot 'n' sour soup is rich in flavor and silky smooth. Our favorites are Kung Pao Chicken and Szechuan Chicken. The last time we ordered a pork dish (June 2024), they skimped on the protein, which was little slivers of dry pork. Regardless, Ming Garden remains our go-to American Chinese takeout restaurant near the Bywater.
