I was craving orange chicken and started looking around online I saw that Chef Ming's had some good reviews so I decided to give it a chance. I ordered the dinner special that came with egg fried rice, and lo mein. I was not disappointed. The orange chicken was delicious. The fried rice was just right and the lo mein was very tasty. The price point was very reasonable and they give you a ton of food. I will definitely try this place again since I want to try the other items. It is hard to find good Chinese food and I was very satisfied with the quality and taste of these items very yummy. I would recommend you give it a shot. read more

Chef Ming's Kitchen - Chinese Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This is my go-to delivery spot for Chinese food. It never disappoints. Their chicken and shrimp are always so tender. The wonton soup with house made wontons is really good with some chili oil. Their BBQ pork ribs are the BEST. Succulent, juicy and never dry. Chef Ming's for the win! read more

I knew judging by the general vibe that this place would either slap or be incredibly mediocre and I was so glad it ended up being really yummy! I got the chicken chow fun, crab rangoons and mu shu pork and it was all solid, exactly what I wanted it to be. I'll definitely be back when I'm craving some comfort food. The people who run the place seem nice as well! Oh and here's updated pictures of the menu cuz I am a philanthropist. read more

My husband and I used to go a really simple original Chinese restaurant with a friend. It was few tables, disposable plates and silverware. But, the food was super tasty. It is closed now. Now, we found another restaurant, this place that brought the same feeling and great taste of food by an authentic Chinese family restaurant. If you don't like disposable plates, no worries, pick up the food and eat home. But, try! The tofu was incredible good and the noodles so good! Good price! read more

Since my parents live nearby they always prefer to order from here and have been for years. A few years ago it went under new ownership. They had gotten to know the former owners well and really liked them. The new management is nice and I don't notice much of a difference with the food. It's pretty basic Chinese food. Made quick and fresh. With friendly service. Definitely not a place you would like to sit and eat at since it's in a very busy mini mall with not the greatest ambience. But a great Chinese food option when you want it have it to go. read more

Good Food made fresh and served Hot! Service was good too overlooked little spot. Kinda sucks that you can only choose 1 item with chow mein and rice but they do give you a lot of food. The restaurant itself is like almost every other Chinese food spot in LA it was clean and the vibe was chill with friendly staff. read more

Customer service was great, food, however, was lacking in the chicken category. I got chicken fried rice and ended up paying $17 for 5 pieces of chicken and a whole lotta fried rice. The fried rice was really good tho gotta admit. We were in and out so can't comment too much on the ambiance, but I did peep their recycling basket so I'm glad to see their ambiance leans eco-friendly. Ps woulda been 5 stars if I got more chicken. Still great would eat again! read more

Everything looked good, smelled good and tasted good. I ordered two dinner specials to go (beef with broccoli and shrimp with vegetables) Service was good, helpful and while there is no real ambiance when you order off a light box, everyone always appreciates good food at a reasonable value. Someone who was finishing up eating in house said the food was VERY good Probably the first time in history, I didn't finish my food. As I was eating, something was meh about it. Wanted to love it, appreciate it and go back. Truth is I didn't love it, and don't think I would go back. read more

Perfect 3.5 rating, which is where you want legitimate Chinese food delivery to be. Though I am offended they think I'm ordering for only one person and SKIMP ON THE FORTUNE COOKIES. That's at least 20% of the Chinese food delivery experience. We need more AUSPICIOUS energy for our meals! read more

Reliable and good. Fair prices. I opt for the dinner combos. Not greasy. Good flavors.

Wow this was the first time I had vegan shrimp fried rice that was reminiscent of the shrimp fried rice I would have as a kid in San Francisco Chinatown. Now if only I could find Mongolian beef that tastes that same. read more

I came in looking for a clear soup (my wife had tummy issues I was hoping to fix): I bought Won Ton soup, and on a whim, potstickers. The broth on the soup was heavenly and the container filled with fresh wok fried vegetables and meats. Potstickers were better than OK, would have been excellent, had I not walked 4 blocks back to my hotel. The food was so good, I drove back and ordered the 3 meat lunch combo. Everything was excellent. Meats were velveted, making for an easy chew and soft mouth feel - and the taste? Beyond expectations. The next time we visit Santa Monica, THIS will be my go-to for food. The lady behind the counter eas cheerful as well as helpful. If the fellow manning the wok had turned around, I'd have blown him a chefs kiss. read more

Food and customer service-bad. Went in about 4:30 PM and ordered sweet and sour chicken and two other dishes to go. When I got home I open the sweet and sour chicken and found out that some of the chicken was dried out. I then called the restaurant and spoke to a lady and told her about the chicken dish.. She checked with the chef. He told her it was all freshly made . Ìt was not. I have been going to that restaurant for over à year and never had a problem. The lady did not believe me and did not offer to make me a new dish or offer me a discount on the next time I came in. I have not been back to the restaurant and either has my friend. This is not good customer service and needs to improve if they want to keep customers. read more

I was going always for the mongolian beef until one day I got charge double; the lady knew two days latter I went and ask for refund.

First time eating at chef Minh's kitchen very good service priced good for the amount of quantity and quality that you get. Tried several dishes. None of them were disappointing. I love that they cook it fresh for you and it's not sitting there. read more

Chef Ming's Kitchen - A lot of leftover food good amount of food served - Chinese Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I ordered Chefs Ming so this review is a little different. But the food was prepared fresh and was delivered on time. Everything was still hot when it got to us and looked phenomenal. The service was great in that regards. The crab ragoons where really the perfect crispy texture on the outside till you get to the middle where its nice and soft. The tasted phenomenonal. The spicy orange can always be hit or miss simply because it may not be spicy enough but it was good sweet savory missing a bit of spice for my personal taste but more than satisfactory. The Honey walnut shrimp was good this had that savory ness that most honey walnut shrimp is missing. This was really well done l. Overall a very good experience 4/5 read more

I've been eating at Chef Ming in WLA for 10 years, during which I have left them very complimentary reviews. BUT NOT TODAY. First, they messed up my order, then when I went back they insisted on blaming me for their mistake, then, the chef approached me and started talking sh*t in Chinese. This is HORRIBLE service!! The people that worked there previously were great, but the current staff is disgustingly untrained. After ten years on giving them my money, I will never go back. Shame on management for hiring such unprofessional people. read more

Very solid Chinese food at a great price. Friendly staff, and awesome variety and selection of dishes that are ready made and can be made fresh to order. Dinning room is cozy. Parking is a challenge especially from 12-3 Thursday and Friday because of street cleaning. read more

This is such a nice little spot. I'm grateful it's so conveniently located nearby, because the food is always awesome and it's super easy to walk a couple blocks to pick it up. Their combo is by far the best deal for me. Hot and sour soup, egg rolls, wontons, rice, and an entree? It lasts me for a good long while between dishes - I think this last time I had three good meals between all that goodness. Definitely a contender for one of my more favorite Chinese food restaurants in the area. read more

I love this classic spot! The service is always super fast, and it's perfect for takeout when you're craving classic Chinese food. Everything is delicious -- it reminds me of an old New York establishment serving good, old-fashioned Chinese comfort food. Always hits the spot! read more

Very disappointed in this restaurant will not return. I ordered sweet and sour chicken on the lunch menu about 2:45 PM. When I got ready to eat about 4:45 it was dried out and unable to eat. I was told it was freshly made and I needed to eat the food in their restaurant.. I go there for take out as I am Disabled and send my caregiver and daughter to bring in food. I asked for a credit but the lady avoided the subject said she would talk to the chef. She came back saying it was freshly cooked and I should eat in her place. I feel that was not a good way to handle things. She should have offered me another one or a credit for the next time I come in for take out. They lost a good customer. Bad customer service and bad business . You don't save customers that way. read more

I swear I'm not a hater! LOL! But I found Chef Ming's to just be alright. I ate most of it but I don't see myself ordering from them again. That being said, the Honey Apple Fruit Tea is delish! Def recommend that! I tried the ~ Egg Rolls - didn't love them honestly. Flavor was fine but consistency was a bit off, too mushy. They are meatless and thinner than others you may be used to. I only ate half of these than lost interest. Proteins - Lemon Chicken, Sweet and Sour Pork and Sesame Chicken. All were just fine. S&S Pork was stacked full of veggies so I would have liked a bit more meat. The taste to all was fine but not fantastically delicious. Crispiness could have been stepped up a bit. Man, I don't think I've ever said 'fine' so much in my life. Still on my search for the best Chinese delivery! read more

I actually ate in the restaurant. That's on me. The mediocre run of the mill nothing to write home about food is on them. I have two litmus test dishes when I get Chinese food in these hole in the wall dives: hot and sour soup and moo shu vegetables. The soup came out of the same can almost every other "low bar set and not exceeded" sort of place. Moo shu was a tad bit better and was not overly spiced, but was sitting in a puddle of the sauce it was tossed in. As for eating in... it's depressing and will make you feel like Christian Slater's character in "True Romance." (Haven't seen it? Heck, order in some decent Chinese food and stream it.) I hate only being negative, so I will say that if I am ever hungover during their business hours and for whatever reason Chinese food sounds good I might (might) call in a take-out order. So, if you are drunk or hungover, or if you are on house arrest and this is the only Chinese place in your delivery area, think about getting pizza instead. Otherwise, um, go for it. read more

Solid Chinese food. Nothing overly special, but it's consistently reliable and affordable. My wife and I order here at least 1-2x per month. Dinner Combo B is my go-to, with hot and sour soup and the spicy garlic chicken. read more

Cheap Chinese food in west LA. The combo deal is an amazing amount of food for a great price. The hot and sour soup was OK, the egrolls were good, and the kung pao could have been spicier. read more

Normally really good food. Now it's so so, they gave us a refund which was nice. It's a nice restaurant, always enjoyed eating there.

it was Christmas, so people were lined up and they were cooking as fast as they could, so everything was fresh. No sitting in warming trays. It was solid americanized Chinese food--good flavors but too much salt The singapore noodle hack? Do not get chicken, get broccoli--nice & fresh. The bao? It was good! Good quick meal read more

This is a great spot for Chinese food. The roasted duck curry fried rice is fantastic. I pick it up for my friend who's at a convalescent home. The char shu fried rice is also delicious. The staff is very personable. One time I changed the order at the last minute and they didn't hold that against me. I highly recommend this place. read more

Ordered two orders of Mushu Chicken (+ other entrees) on 12/24 and they forgot the Hoisin Sauce - that dish is not the complete without the Hoisin. Called to complain, didn't offer to make it right, made excuses about being busy, basically laughed. I'm a regular customer and I'm not happy about how this was handled. John B Malibu read more

Chefs Ming's is a solid place if you're looking for Chinese fast food, quantity over quality, and a good price point. For lunch, you can get a two entree dish for $11, which is a tad cheaper than Panda Express with slightly better portion size. The chow mein and rice are pretty standard and nothing special (think the rice is primarily soy sauce and some scallions). The orange chicken and Kung Bao chicken are a bit sauce heavy and lack some crisp freshness but to be fair, I ordered from hot bar mid afternoon. Overall, it's good bang for your buck and will scratch the itch of a Chinese fast food craving. read more

This review is for a delivery order, so I can't speak on the ambiance or vibe of the restaurant. I enjoyed the chicken and shrimp in hot garlic sauce. Good amount of protein and the sauce was very flavorful. Goes well with an order of white rice. It could've been a little spicier in my opinion, but I like spicy food. The pork bao on the other hand left a lot to be desired. The dough was really thick and a little hard. Not as fluffy as bao that I'm used to eating. And it had only a small amount of bbq pork inside. I ate the first one and only about half of the second. The Thai tea tasted good, sweet like I like it. But I would get it without the boba next time. The diameter of the straw it came with wasn't that wide, and the boba pieces kept getting stuck in the straw. That made it very frustrating to drink the tea. read more

I tried this based on some positive reviewers that said "they weren't sure why this place got such low ratings..." well don't try it. The food was either overcooked or undercooked, like main was bland, the general Tsos was chewy mix the egg rolls literally chewy. Hugely disappointed read more

Amazing Chinese food and fast prep time. We ordered this for pick up and didn't realize we had called the Beverly Hills location, to which the front employee (owner?) quickly remedied with a call to that location. Great service. We got the spicy crispy beef with a side of rice (sorry forgot to take a picture until after we had helped ourselves). Good portion size split between two adults. It was cooked perfectly, crispy and delicious. I highly recommend. I think I found my new favorite Chinese restaurant. There are many other things on their menu that I'd like to try. We'll be coming back!! read more

Somehow spent $58 ordering from here on Postmates. Somehow they have a 4.8 rating on Postmates as opposed to Chin Chin's 4.6. I normally order chin chin but ordered this instead bc it had a higher rating. Then I realized it's the hole in the wall in SM blvd I would never go to! The food was below average I would never order from them again quality is not good. 3 stars for portion - big portions. read more

This is the best hole in a wall place around here for some delicious Chinese food. We've almost ordered all the items on the menu and 9/10 times it's a hit. They also give you a generous amount of food. The staff is always so friendly too! I definitely recommend you give this place a try. read more

Honestly, I'm not sure why this place has such mixed reviews. Maybe they need to work on some of their other dishes, but I ordered top-rated items mentioned on Yelp, and everything was excellent! The portion sizes are great, too. We got the ribs, singapore noodles, and garlic chicken dinner. We will order again :) read more

So bear with me on this review because it was a rollercoaster ride for me but I need to share. So my friend and I order here cause she was raving how fast and good this place was on a Friday night and I was for it. The app says it's ready in 45 and she was like nahhh it's like half that time. 45 mins later, no food. I was pissed! (More because I was v hungry.) And so we call- they say an hour! So we drive over (4 mins from her house) so we can just grab it and eat out of the parking lot and the folks inside were like "nah, it left. " So we WAIT ANOTHER 15 at her house, and the food arrives and the dude who hands it to her IS THE DUDE SHE SAW JNSIDE when they told her the food left. Awkward. We rip the bag open and roll around the food and then we realize NO LOMEIN! She was crying as she was eating but find the energy to call nicely and tell them she is missing an order. They were apologetic and food ARRIVED in like 3 mins! They gave us 2 extra almond cookies. After we calmed down, we enjoyed the crab rangoons, spring roll, Lo mein, veggie dumplings, and crispy beef. The food was decent and the beef wasn't that spicy (I said VERY SPICY plz) but it was like crack . I def am not writing them off despite the situation. They were doing their best and were willing to do the right thing, so thanks for that. Looking forward to ordering again. read more
