41. Orange Flavored Chicken
Brenn R.

As I was walking to FedEx, I looked through the window to my right and noticed a man eating some scrumptious looking Chinese food and my stomach started growling. I quickly completed my errand at FedEx and went next door to Chef Ming's to peruse the menu. Upon walking in, I was first greeted by the smell of what promised to be a delicious meal, and the man behind the counter greeted us and motioned for us to take a seat at the counter. The restaurant was bright and clean, and as I looked over the menu, my stomach growled even louder. A friendly gentleman came in and stood near us, then began chatting with my boyfriend and me; he told us about their awesome lunch specials and said he's eaten here many times. Upon his recommendations we got one of orange chicken and one broccoli with beef - two classic Chinese dishes - can't go wrong! We ordered our food to go and the smell was driving me wild on the ride home. The orange chicken was perfect - not too sweet and the batter had the perfect crunch. My BF enjoyed the broccoli with beef and shared some with me. We were very pleased with our meals and definitely recommended Chef Ming's! Would definitely eat here again!

Xièxiè to Chef Ming and all the Ming providers of excellent Chinese food to go as well as using Corn starch instead of flour so this gluten intolerant veteran can enjoy dishes prepared the normal way without adjustments like your Lemon Chicken and the always GF Hot Braised Shrimp. What seems a bit pricey is really not with the two full entrees and a carton of white rice containing an ample amount of the lemon chicken and shrimp, I get 5 meals out of eating this delicious meal. Somewhat surprisingly near this area there are some very good French, Italian, Persian, Israeli and Middle Eastern restaurants, Chef Ming's is the best of the other Chinese Restaurants that have seen better days long in the past.

Orange chicken lunch special
Ashley T.

Ordered the Orange chicken lunch special and it was so mid - the noodles were super dry and plain - they also go our order wrong over the phone - chicken was okay - also no soy sauce or Siracha in the bag - also two lunch specials 45 dollars

Orange chicken, steamed rice

It's okay, I suppose I was expecting a bit more. Ive ordered the orange chicken from Grubhub ($29), which fine, gets a little soggy with delivery. So I thought I'd dine in (weekday ~6pm) to see if it'd be different, but nope still the same, the breading isn't crispy. I like that it is white meat though. So it's okay enough to eat if you're hungry or didn't cook. Dining in orange chicken is $24. Service is okay, although I dined in, my food was placed in take out containers just with a tray. They gave 1 napkin and 1 fork, I had my own personal water bottle. The ambiance is loud, bright lights with heavy metal clanking from cooking, so definitely more of a take out place than dining in, although they offer two sit down tables. It's BH so yes $24 Chinese food that is super-mid is on the cheaper end. I wouldn't come back to dine-in, but may do take out in the future and wouldn't order their soggy orange chicken again. If you'd like to get more bang for your buck, go to Fu's Palace a few blocks down.

I came here witha group and had the chance to try a variety of dishes. While the restaurant…read morestructure and design is on the older side, the food was still of quality and well-prepared. One of their most memorable dishes was a soup topped with a large, breakable, crispy rice cracker. It was served tableside, and the cracker slowly softening into the broth added a nice texture. It was a unique touch that made the meal stand out! This was a great spot for family-style dining for plenty of dishes to share.

The shrimp fried rice was super dry, the only thing that had flavor was the shrimp. I was worried that the orange chicken was listed as hot. It was not hot at all, it BARELY had any flavor. Finally the beef and broccoli was the absolute worst thing we ordered. The sauce was, for a better word, watery. The beef had no flavor, broccoli was fine..yipee. At least the fortune cookies were good. Psssht. I wish I had looked at the reviews more carefully. When a place gets several five stars in the same day or for several days in a row it definitely is a red flag for fake reviews, and now that I am looking through the reviews for this place, lots of red flags.

Epic, epicurean, sybaritic Cantonese/Hong Kong Banquet marking over 40 years of Joss was presided…read moreover by the ever congenial, worldly, sophisticated owner, Cecile Tang. This event will be remembered in our mind, heart, and especially by our stomach. I was very fortunate in receiving notice of the last seating at Joss in the form of private, reserved banquets in September 2026. Joss had previously closed to the public at the end of August. 8 courses were most ample, and generosity was evident in the use of luxurious ingredients and elaborate culinary techniques. 1) Wu Gok: Fried Taro dumpling (Chinese: 芋角) covered in an airy, lacy, crispy batter. The mashed starchy, naturally sweet Taro root hides a soft oyster. Lightly smashed, crunchy, salted cucumber, dark cloud ear mushrooms are dressed in subtle, sweetened rice vinegar dressing similar to Japanese Su no Mono salad. Accompanied by whole red Thai chile and a slice of garlic clove. 2) Roast Squab: Small pigeon like bird slow baked to golden brown to retain succulence with pleasant scent of 5 spice where star anise added licorice aromatics. Possibly crushed red table pepper & touch of powdered Sichuan pepper in the salt blend provided along with a wedge of lemon for adding gastrique. Small nubs of dark, brown, squab meat were lightly sautéed with finely chopped bright green asparagus in butter lettuce leaf cups. Crunchy, thick rice chips for textural contrast. 3) Winter Melon 8 Precious Broth: Served in its own whole melon tureen after being cleared of its "meat". Shrimp, pillowy bay scallops, chunks of soft, juicy Winter Melon, diced earthy Shītakè mushroom, ham were some of the ingredients in soy sauce darkened chicken broth. 4) Maine Lobster Aberdeen over Braised Noodle with Lobster Jus Naturel: Whole scarlet lobster shell is placed over al dente thin pasta looking like squiggly Linguine. And barely steamed chunks of lobster that may have been coated in egg white & corn starch, then flash sautéed to seal in moistness for a plush velvety surface and fibrous, meaty, sweet interior. All the above are tossed in a concentrated lobster shell based broth along with medicinal ginger, chiffonade of scallions, toasty, aromatic sesame oil. Some will say this is a highly sophisticated, "royal" version of Lobster Cantonese. 5) Crisped California Red Snapper with Lychi Sweet & Sour Sauce: Whole fish lightly battered with possibly corn starch-wheat flour for extra crispness of the skin. The frying of the fish in light, clean oil gives the fish meat an ethereal, airy texture. Then a fruity, lychee, oyster sauce based, vinegar acidic sauce is applied garnished with sautéed green, yellow, red bellpeppers. 6) Joss Peking Duck: May be the signature Chinese duck dish in all of California if not the U.S. The special involved method leaves the skin, especially the legs, with a lacquered, shiny, lustrous glow. The crispy skin exudes a sweet, lush fattiness that is tamed by the extra earthy, sweet, heavy, viscosity of the fermented soy bean Hoisin/"plum sauce". The duck meat is lean, toned, moist for different effect. All the above can be placed in a taut, stretchy, ultra thin, leathery wheat crêpe slathered with Hoisin dressed with julienned watery cucumber and chiffonade of scallions. 1-6a) Chrysanthemum Tea paired well with the Chinese Banquet cuisine. The earthy, spicy, floral tones were ideal. Dessert: 7) Steamed Chocolate Pudding Cake is chocolatey, ultra plush, touch sweet, moist in a pool of dark chocolate sauce. 8) Fresh Coconut Frappé: Young, tender coconut meat, coconut water, possibly condensed milk seems blended and chilled to make a refreshing, frothy, aerosol-like whip cream texture. Garnished with mint leaves. What an incredible repast "by Executive chef Golo Kwokson Yu who joined the kitchen in 1988, training under master chef Lao Ying Chieh before taking over as Chef de Cuisine in 1993." Bravo to his culinary prowess! So privileged to have the last supper. Wishing Ms. Tang, Chef de Cuisine Yu, and the friendly, cordial staff the best, happy, good fortune. 5+++ stars!!!

We went to Joss tonight for the first time…read more THE GOOD Easy parking. Quiet atmosphere. One of the best appetizers I've ever had: Eggplant Chips Crisp slices of Asian eggplant topped with savory diced Yu Shiang eggplant. Their upscale take on brown rice was pretty wonderful: Heirloom Multigrains Unprocessed heirloom multigrains cooked in a clay pot to heighten its natural aroma. THE BAD Aside from the two dishes mentioned above, we found the other entrees to be unremarkable. Service was also unremarkable. One overworked waiter was handling the entire dining room, so service was not swift. Took 10 minutes 'til the brown rice equivalent I ordered finally appeared--and I had to remind him to bring it. I asked for an iced tea. He said he'd check to see if it was available. Never got back to me about it. The waiter had not a shred of warmth or personality.

Every dish we ordered at Meizhou Dongpo was packed with flavor and tasted like true comfort food…read more The fried rice was simple but incredibly well executed, with perfectly seasoned rice. The braised pork in brown sauce was rich, tender, and melted in my mouth. My favorite of the meal was definitely the garlic vermicelli shrimp. The shrimp were fresh and cooked perfectly, while the vermicelli soaked up all of the garlic sauce. It was easily the standout dish and something I would come back specifically to order again. The Kung Pao chicken was tender, and a good balance of savory, sweet, and tang. The restaurant isn't that big but it does have tables suitable for larger groups. This is a decent spot for lunch. The only thing is the dishes are a little more expensive compared to other restaurants. The staff were attentive, efficient, and made sure everything arrived promptly which I appreciated.

The space feels worn -- menus tattered, décor dated, the whole interior overdue for a refresh. For a restaurant positioning itself at the higher end of Chinese dining, Meizhou Dongpo is sleeping on the finer details. No complimentary tea service, and rather than offering a pot for the table, they serve individual tea by the mug -- a comically oversized Western mug at that. Chopsticks arrive without spoons, and when you ask for one, you get silverware instead of the porcelain you'd expect at Chinese restaurant. The Peking duck accoutrements came with a little plastic spoon on the tray. Small things, but they add up.The fried rice was a letdown too and looked nothing like the menu photo. Spots like Din Tai Fung and Lunasia Signature are operating at a different level and the gap shows. Meizhou Dongpo has the bones of a great Chinese restaurant. The duck alone proves it. But until they invest in the experience around the food, it's hard to recommend at this price point.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
