We ate here the evening of 8/30 and really enjoyed it. Our server was an older gentleman and he created a lovely experience for us. Even though we only wanted an assortment of our favorite apps, everything was presented beautifully. I’ve been coming to Ming Tree for a long time but hadn’t been there since they renovated and I loved the new modern tables. Everything is very clean as other reviewers have described. The food was tasty and we really enjoyed the complimentary crispy noodles.

AMAZING RESTAURANT! My new favorite place to dine (it's really hard to make my "favorite " list). Unbelievably, I have driven past this restaurant for 30 years or more and never given it a second thought. Two weeks ago my Maryville friends suggested we have dinner here and I'm so happy they did. The restaurant facility itself is very unassuming, especially viewing from the outside. The Ming Tree is is in a small strip shopping center and is located on busy Alcoa Highway, across from the runways at McGhee Tyson Airport. Once inside the dining room the atmosphere is casual and very pleasant. The restaurant is immaculate. The dining room is a medium size room with a mix of tables booths. My friends quickly introduced me to Rudy, our server, whom is a long time employee. Rudy is fantastic and an excellent server. If you're lucky enough to sit in his section, you'll immediately appreciate his kind and caring demeanor. I ordered one of my favorite Chinese dishes; sweet and sour chicken. Needless to say, it was DELICIOUS! Absolutely perfect in every respect. It was a large portion, so come hungry! My friends all have their favorite Ming Tree menu items and entrées. They ordered a variety of food items, everything from soups to egg rolls and fried rice. Everyone enjoyed our respective meals and without doubt, left very happy and satisfied. The menu here offers large selection of Chinese favorites, everything you would expect from a good Chinese food. Ming Tree is excellent for large and small groups. It's also perfect for dining alone. I have since returned to Ming Tree a second time and had another excellent experience I highly recommend Ming Tree! You can expect excellent service and delicious, hot, fresh food. Enjoy!

We had a great time! Food was so delicious and all the staff were amazing! Will come back!

UPDATE 2024! * New Owners * A young family has bought the Hibachie Grill and they are so nice and still serving the same great food! Wonderful food! Been eating here since 2006! Consistently well-prepared food and service improves with time... 09/22/2023. Food still wonderful. Service is lacking and, frankly, rather rude.

Okay so first I want to start off and say, the place doesn’t look the best from the outside.. and the inside is very warm. Only two tables with 4 chairs each, and then two spare chairs. My meal was only $10.92 including a drink. It’s not badly priced, and the food is actually pretty good. Better than I had expected. I didn’t expect much out of the place, but they honestly done a really good job.

It was ok, the rice tasted a lil funny so i didnt eat it. I ordered carry out and they prepared it fresh while I waited. Very fast service as I was the only person there. I do wish the employees would have at least spoken to me. I said hello,how are you and of couse thanks a lot as I left but the ONLY word that was said was OK when I ordered my food.

I got the sweet and sour chicken with an order of steamed broccoli to cure a hangover and it was exactly what I needed - the food is wonderful, and the service was so nice. I ordered over the phone and came in to pick up my order, but I was still a little jealous of everyone enjoying the buffet inside because it looked great. You can also get a chapstick on your way out, which was a nice touch I haven’t seen anywhere else. HIGHLY recommend.🥰

The orange chicken had no flavor, the egg rolls were horrible. Fried rice and beef dish was awesome. Can't find a good egg roll in the state of TN. Crab ragoon okay

This was a typical Asian buffet. Food was what I expected. The hibachi was done very well, kudos to the guy working it that night. Only issue was the waitress kept hovering over the check, my mom is old and eats slow so she was offended by that. I read other reviews before I went so I kind of expected something like that was going to happen. The restaurant might want to take action as it seems to be affecting the overall reviews.

The food was good. Prices for buffets are just so expensive and I tipped because I feel like they do get you your drink so they are still serving you. Overall I'd recommend but the price wasn't my favorite.
