Very Yum. Got the lamb hot pot (its dry pot), asked not too spicy for my Mother and it was just…read moreright. Lamb is gamey like it's supposed to be but be warned. The garlic veg (baby bok choy) was good but my Mom said it needed soy sauce. Thing is you gotta eat it before you eat anything spicy or you can't taste the delicate flavor. Shredded potatoes was different from the hot and sour version I usually get, its spicier. And the Garlic sauce with pork is spicy and has that kinda smoky sweetness is the best way I can describe it. The best Chinese I've had in awhile. I wish it was closer to where I live we swung over after getting out of Newark airport on our way home. Lady was nice but doesn't speak much English so the fact that we ordered online instead of the phone was probably for the best.

The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made for a great first impression! The portions are HUGE for the price, and everything we ordered was delicious. The Taiwanese popcorn chicken was perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of spices and was incredibly crispy! The pork chop fried rice was massive--you definitely get your money's worth. My favorite was the oyster pancake; they were so generous with the oysters, and it was packed with flavor. Overall, an awesome dining experience with great food, generous portions, and excellent service. I'll definitely be coming back! Hopefully they can open another location with a parking lot!

I started with a simple Hot and Sour soup and pork fried rice, wow was it good, soup was freshly made and spicy enough to help with my sore throat. The rice was fluffy and fresh and plenty of pork.

So, roughly seven years ago, some time after our favourite local Chinese food joint mysteriously…read morewent bye-bye, we decided to take a chance on this unassuming little place. It's very close to where I live, and I remember my late grandfather getting food from here years ago (although I'm sure the place has changed hands since then). This is not a place you can sit down in-- it's strictly takeaway food. When you call, you either get someone who speaks and understands English well, or you get someone who, well... doesn't. In the latter case, you just have to make sure you get your order read back to you to avoid any mistakes. The food...is delicious. Since we live near the place, we barely have time to sit down before the delivery person calls to tell us he's arrived. The food gets here maybe ten-fifteen minutes after we order it, so our food is always hot when it arrives. Food's always fresh-tasting and satisfying. My go-to dish is shrimp with broccoli--the broccoli is always perfect, with a good bite. Their General Tso's items could stand more broccoli (*when* did Chinese restaurants stop adding broccoli to that dish?) so I order extra for a dollar more We can actually tell if the chef has changed by the quality of the food, or how thick the sauce is or isn't. Our favourite days seem to be Tuesday and Saturday. It's good all the time, but those days seem to be much better than others. I have not tried everything on the menu because reasons, but we've ordered from here consistently over the span of six years, give or take, so that should give you some idea as to how good the food is. My only qualm with Kong Ming is they don't have brown rice. Maybe they'll add it if we ask, but we're probably not gonna quit ordering from here.
