Fast service, tasty though typical Chinese food. nothing surprising on the menu. Staff needs someone who speaks English fluently.

The staff is so friendly, and the food is always amazing!! Fast service, and decorated with gorgeous plants.

Very short and rude. I called and before I finished what I needed to explain, she just hung up on me. Tried calling back and never answered the phone. Amazing how bad customer service has gotten. read more

I ordered the chicken wings with rice while I was sitting there waiting on my order. A lady came out look to be maybe a manager open the door turned and looked at me and walked back in the kitchen. The restaurant smelled like burnt oil. I was given my food by the lady at the register She could not look me in the eye I paid left got home and the burnt smell was my chicken. It was cooked with burnt oil. That was the last time I went there if they would serve me something like that what else would they serving? read more

I would give zero stars. I got my sweet and sour chicken home, and the sauce was so diluted, it was as thin as pink koolaid and tasted nothing like sweet and sour sauce! I ate a few tiny blobs of fried chicken without the sauce, then found a hair in my food. I'm glad this was only $6 to lose, but I am without a lunch. Avoid this place! read more

The pork and Chinese vegetables was good, but the vegetables were mainly onions. The other dishes were good, the beef and broccoli is good, but heavy on the broccoli. read more

Don't know about other menu items but we've been eating here for years only getting two items. We've had chicken and broccoli the most, but have tried beef and broccoli. It's been very good. Lot's of broccoli. Good size portions and the price seems reasonable. It comes with white rice, but we've also had the pork fried rice and also the shrimp fried rice. Egg rolls are good too. read more

Their advertised Fried Pork Belly is not PORK BELLY! It is sliced Pig Ears making it look like Pork Belly. They are scamming! Never order from this place again! You never know what you will get! -Edward View. read more

Came here to the complex for haircut.. just wanted to give a shot for Chinese cuisine.. I've ordered wings which were like average.. not as we expect in other places.. and even ordered chicken fried rice.. never in my life I had such fried rice.. rice was totally drenched in soy sauce.. not satisfied! read more

Better veggie options than expected. Got a small vegetable lomein and added tofu for one dollar. The food was classic greasy Chinese food and the pricing was good and cheap. read more

found a bug in our food , tried to get a refund and because we ate half the rice till we found the bug they were trying not to give us a refund, screamed at us insults and saying fuck us then called the police on us. terrible people terrible food terrible service , 10/10 worst experience read more

Great for take out Chinese and always extra delicious. Sometimes the service is abrubt but it doesn't seem to be unfriendly - just cultural. Good size portions and you can order your food, get a treat at the Acme and get back to pick up the food in 15 minutes. If you call to place a pick up order, give them your phone number - it's all they need. You can dine in - it's a very small cafeteria-style place so groups would be a bit much. read more

Horrible food... Doing laundry at Laundry 101 and decided Chinese food sounded great after seeing it as I walked in. First experience, the lady, who I assume was the owner, was on her iPhone in a what must've been a very interesting conversation to ignore a customer for 5 minutes as they just stand there. I got fired rice and a vegetable chow mein and they were both disgusting. $9 wasted on overpriced chow mein that looked and tasted like vomit. Do yourself a favor and go to Subway instead. read more

So it was late, it was raining, and my boyfriend and I wanted Chinese food. After calling several places who were not willing to drive five minutes to deliver, we decided on this place. It was a pretty dismal experience. I've had my fair share of bad cheap food...I used to eat at a place called "Tasty Goody" and god forbid when you're desperate and hungry it was BOMB. Tasty Goody is questionable and grease-laden but leagues better than this place. This place might be cheap, but you still pay too much for what this is. I don't even know what it is. I have never eaten food before and legitimately worried that the meat was something they found in the alley until now. I guess it was chicken but it tasted like fish and had a really unsettling texture. I was worried I would be sick after eating this because it looked that shady. We had a lot of leftovers and I usually like leftovers, but this time it was just a chore that took up fridge space and got tossed a few days later. It was truly dismal. I picked at the mu shu chicken which was the most palatable thing we ordered, but even that made me nervous. All of the food had so much grease and oil in that it turned into a gelatinous mold once put in the fridge. I didn't expect much, but I didn't think it would be that bad. I wouldn't eat here again if you paid me. read more

Their general tso's is fantastic, their soups are fantastic, they have the type of crab rangoon I like (Come here if you like cheesy kind more than sweet kind), their egg rolls that come with the meals are fantastic... it's typical chinese fast food, cheap and plentiful, and their pork fried rice lasts a day as long as you don't refrigerate it and dry it out. If you're on a budget and want chinese, one could REASONABLY eat 3-4 times off one special that has fried rice and an eggroll included. If you're a little more voracious like myself you only eat 2-3 times though... read more

i ordered dinner from here because china city was closed for the night. the chicken and broccoli was bad. the sweet and sour chicken was bad. the crab rangoon was hard and horrible. next time i'll make sure i get my order in at china city which is fabulous read more

Not the greatest, but it filled the tank. They definitely watered down the General tso's sauce.

They have good food that is well worth the wait... My wife and I get the garlic chichen :-D. I will say that you just have to be patient for it. They have also improved on their customer service providing better customer interaction. read more

Ming Cheng Restaurant - the front of the restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Kent, Ohio

See all

It's a nice place to get some decent Chinese food. Very reasonably priced and free hot tea provided.

Never crowded. $5 menu that includes rice and a meat (but they changed chicken livers to gibblets so I stopped going). No pop machine free hot tea. No internet. read more

I liked this place until i got shrimp fried rice and the black vein was still in all the shrimp. Immediately lost my appetite.

Not a very good place to get Chinese food. The taste is okay but not as rich as I expected..

Best crab rangoon I've ever had. It is called "fried crab cheese" on their menu and it is cream cheesy-crabby goodness in a crunchy fried wonton wrapper. Mmmm...yes please! Their Lo Mein is also pretty fantastic. Vegetable Lo Mein and General Tso's are my go-tos! I've tried some other dishes and just never liked any of them but I don't need variety from Ming Cheng when my go-to options are good! read more

If i could give them zero stars i would. Their prices are different online compared to inside. I even was told a different price when i called compared to when i went to pick up my food. Not friendly either - don't waste your time or money. Toko all the way!!! read more

I really liked the food and it was fast. I had the sweet and sour chicken and the fried wontons. I loved it all except the sauce for the sweet and sour chicken. I thought it was going to be a little bit better read more

Not very friendly. I ordered from them before and got food that had hair in it. I asked for a refund and they gave me a lot of crap about it. read more

This is one of those, you get what you pay for situations. I'll admit, all I ordered was the won-ton soup & it wasn't bad but it wasn't worth making the out of the way trip for either. The woman behind the counter is definitely not friendly but my food was hot , and fresh so I really can't complain. read more

Cheap, fast, and good food. This place is actually quite popular. That may be attributed to the food being cheap, made fairly quickly, and tasting pretty good. For a quick bite of Chinese food, it's not bad, it won't blow your taste buds away by any means, but it's serviceable. I personally like to order their fried dumplings when I'm in a hurry. They are huge, size and potion wise. Definitely worth it for a quick bite to eat. read more

Grossie gross gross.. lady is extremely rude that runs the register and the food is half way rotting. I'd rather eat my own feces.

Do not waste time ordering from here. We decided to try their food for delivery. We ordered chicken lo mein and cashew chicken. The noodles were ok and the cashew chicken had no cashews in it. We called to make sure that the order we got was ours. The woman that answered wasn't very nice. She kept saying very little cashew added. I told here no there were none at all. She just kept saying very little cashew. Then said sorry and hung up. All the other reviews about this place being rude are seriously correct. The food isn't good enough to want to order from here again. For sure will be telling people not to waste money here. read more

This place has some of the best Chinese food in town. I myself am a huge fan of the crab rangoon. I don't know what it is about those things but I love them. Their General Tso's and Shrimp with Lobster sauce is also to die for. read more

I like Ming Cheng, yes the owners wife is a bit cranky but its a different touch :) The food is good and consistent. No funky bleached chicken here. And there is a reason all the Chinese kids from KSU eat here, its good and has good prices. Don't let the whiners put you off. But don't expect to be coddled, she is fast but its worth it. read more

The people at this family restaurant are hard working and real, no b.s., no fake smiles. If you went to some college campuses in China, you would see places exactly like this. There are no frills, here, and it is a little rough around the edges, but the food is always HOT, fresh, good, served fast, and nicely priced. They have bottled drinks, hot tea, and tap water available. There are 9 four-person tables in a cafeteria-like atmosphere. They offer a quick lunch or a fast dinner for you and your family. read more

Service: Delivery is beyond slow. Food arrived one hour after I ordered it. Food: Once I got my food I began wishing I had just cooked for myself. Forgot two of the sauces that I paid extra for. I will never order here again. Absolutely no way. read more

HORRIBLE!!! Worst Chinese food ever!! The sweet and sour sauce had absolutely zero flavor! The general tso chicken did not taste like any I have ever had, it was gross. The crab Rangoon had zero crab in it, it was just cream cheese and onion. The crab Rangoon was also burnt. We ordered the five rack of ribs, we got four average size and one tiny rib, it look like it came off my chihuahua. They were tasteless too. Last but not least the woman at the counter was so rude!! Needless to say I will not be back!!!! read more

Food sucks now after the authentic Chinese place opened last year in Kent, they basically gave in. People are nice though.

I got delivery and ordered sweet & sour chicken. The chicken was the standard chicken that all Chinese delivery places have, but the sweet and sour sauce was like warm orange jello that tasted like water. No joke. When I called to order, their phone was buzzing which made it even harder to understand the lady who was already hard to understand. Next time I'm just going to make an effort and just go to Evergreen for Chinese food because this stuff was gross. I feel super gross and sick now. #Regrets read more

I've been going to Ming Cheng since the mid-90s, and it's barely changed in that time. I've rarely ventured from my standards because every time I've ordered something different I haven't liked it as much. Pork lo mein, pork fried rice, egg rolls, and wonton soup can't be beat (just get the combo). The fried wontons are worth an extra hour at the gym the next day. A friend swears by the pork egg foo yung (with pork fried rice of course). They're not heavy-handed with the soy sauce, and you can often see someone cutting up fresh vegetables and meat at the back of kitchen. With that, it is what it is - it's a strip mall Chinese take-out place. Portions are very generous, prices are low, ingredients are fresh, flavors have been consistent for a long time even with new cooks rotating in and out. No, the owner isn't friendly, but she keeps the cooks on task and gets you your food quickly and correctly read more

Not the most exceptional of cuisine (this is a strip-mall, Americanized take-out place... what do you expect??), but consistent, quick, and nicely priced. I have been coming here with my husband since 2009 fairly consistently, and I have never had to wait for more than 10 minutes or had to correct any mistakes with the order. I am a vegetarian, and they have a small but decent selection of vegetable-based dishes (tofu as well, if you're in the mood). The presumed owner (the woman who seems to be staffing the counter 12 hours a day, 7 days a week) is not the warmest of individuals, but she is definitely efficient. Maybe it's because I am not originally from the midwest, but I don't think it is necessary for every person in the service industry to be over the top nice/friendly. That being what it is, she has come to recognize my husband and I. She even smiles when she sees us now (I SWEAR!), and is friendly about giving us extra sauces, etc. So, not the fanciest of places, but a definite regular on the Kent dining rotation. read more

Food was awful, I ordered the orange chicken for carry out got it home and my chicken was sitting in a pool of water. Also my white rice was undercooked, why does Kent not have any good Chinese? read more
