    Metal inside food

    Stay away, unsafe. Received our order and there was a metal staple inside of the orange chicken. My girlfriend almost choked and died. When we called the restaurant they did not care and acted like this is something that consistently happens. The staple was literally inside of the meat, not on the exterior.

    Ordered takeout last nite and as I usually do I ordered food for 7-8 when we were only 2!!!! Service was good and food was good , ordered egg rolls,pot stickers, pork buns,crab Rangoon , pork fried rice ,chicken chow mien, almond chicken, orange beef and sweet n sour pork ... it was a little pricy but what isn't these days ,spent 116.00 fair value for all that food

    Our party of 3 were greeted and seated immediately. Menus, tea and water arrived promptly. After some minutes, we ordered and our soup came quickly. Our 3 dishes came a short bit after we finished our soup. Sizzling rice soup: 1/5 first one we ever had that did not sizzle when rice was dropped. Not authentic and very odd. Cucumber in it was a first and definitely a filler. Some rice was still chewy rather than crunchy. Not very good rendition of the real thing. Beef with string beans: 4/5 Very good and a nice big portion. Tons of beans and a bit less beef. Nothing wrong with this plate. Lamb with greens: 4/5 Very tender. Overall, a tasty excellent dish. Seafood Clay Pot: 5/5 Squid and prawns were a good portion in with the mushrooms, tofu and veggies. Delivered to the table piping hot! Overall, great service. Sizzling rice soup was the only lackluster one. My parents come here enough to be remembered by the staff that served us. Give it a try. Right in the Harvest Market Center on San Marin Dr. in Novato.

    Do they use MSG in their cooking?

    I have been told they do not. The food tastes very clean. I have not experienced msg side effects from the food. It would be best to give them a call with questions or concerns.

    "Ming Yen" is a chinese restaurant in downtown Novato that serves Americanized-Chinese food. I had…read morea nice early dinner here. It probably would of been better if it wasn't near 90*F outside. It didn't appear like they have AC, since all the doors were open. This restaurant looks new on the outside, but looks "old-school" on the inside. The only thing missing was.....chopsticks on the table. I ordered: -Tomato Beef Chow Mein, $15.95, serves two. Very good Tomato Beef Chow Mein. Every piece of beef was tender and easy to eat. The chunks of tomato, bell pepper and onion were in small bite sized pieces. Perfect for eating with chopsticks. The sauce was tangy and lightly sweet. What was missing was the "Wok Hei." Aka...."the breath of the Wok," it's the unique smoky aroma that adds a special flavor to stir fry food. - Salt & Pepper Fried Chicken Wings, $17.95, 9 wings. To be clear, these are "flats." Fresh, juicy, and fried crispy good. Seasoned in coarse salt, chili pepper and onion. My waiter/server gave me a small dish of chili oil to enhance the heat level. Overall, a nice first time experience.....4-stars. I would like to return and try their Wor Won Ton Soup. ------------------------------------------- Notes: Some of the menu photos don't match the dish. All-Gender restroom is clean and large Free off street parking in rear Located in downtown Novato, across the street from shopping center.

    I'd give a -100 if I could. After being a happy customer here for years, we had an awful experience…read moreyou should know about. On 12/24/25, we couldn't get through their regular phone number quite a few times due to a busy signal. We then placed a Door Dash order at 4:50pm. After the app updating the delivery time several times, the order was suddenly "cancelled by the restaurant." We were really looking forward to our dinner for two hours, so you can imagine our disappointment and scrambling for alternatives on Christmas Eve. We did receive a refund for the exact amount that was charged to the credit card. We had decided to try the restaurant again on 12/31/25. Again, we couldn't get through. So I went in person to place the order to ask why the restaurant cancelled our 12/24/25 order. I've never heard of a confirmed order being cancelled before. They said they "cancel Door Dash orders at 6:30pm. A lot of people were disappointed, too." I said but we had placed our order at 4:50pm. I couldn't understand his reasoning. We decided to never use them again. Despite our terrible inconvenience and decision to never dine here again, we decided to place an order today 12/31/25 at 4:19pm for pick-up in person, so I could ask in person what happened on 12/24/25. They said today's order would take 25-30 minutes. It was ready at 4:37pm. That was redeemable, but we still don't understand what happened on 12/24:25 and don't feel confident that it will never happen again. So I imagine the lesson learned is beware of placing Door Dash orders at this restaurant! See photos for proof of our experience.
