I am a very big fan of Ming Garden Restaurant. They are by far the best Chinese restaurant on or near Route 3 I have tried the others and have had bad experiences. Every one of my Ming Garden experiences has been very good to awesome. When you walk in, the restaurant is very clean and organized. The ladies who take your order are polite and accommodating. And the is always very good to excellent - no surprises. I highly recommend Ming Garden !!!! read more

Take out night. First time customer and We were very impressed by the quality of food. Servings seemed kind of small for a large size but it tasted pretty good. Not so sweet like other places. My husband loved the spare ribs they were quite big and tender.the restaurant was quiet but the phones would not stop ringing. We liked it and would like to try other dishes. read more

I ordered a ton of food from here today for Easter diner with the fam and everything was amazing! We have had Pu Pus platters. Each Pu Pu for 2 included 2 egg rolls, 2 chicken wings, 2 chicken teriyaki, 2 beef teriyaki, 2 fantail shrimp, and 5 chicken fingers. We also ordered their house fried rice, chicken Mei fun, and crab ragoons. All 9 of us loved everything. The only small complaint I heard was that the crab ragoon was a little too sweet. Other than that, everyone said it was their new favorite place. We also love that they make their own duck sauce and aren't stingy about it. It is so much better than the packets. The lady that checked me out was also very friendly. Prices are reasonable. Will definitely be back. read more

We ordered the Dinner box for 2 (Shumai, General Tso's chicken, sweet and sour chicken, pork fried rice), wonton soup, the chefs special lo mein (pork, chicken, shrimp) and egg rolls. I'm not sure what was supposed to be in the Shumai, but it was just a fried wonton with rice. The chefs special lo mein was very flavorful, the wonton soup was okay and the egg rolls lacked pork; mostly cabbage. There wasn't anything overly greasy, which is a plus in my book. Rice wasn't too bland either, but could use a tap bit more seasoning/sauce Ordering online requires a processing fee ($1-2) We called in the order to avoid this, but be cautious as the automated voice message directs you to use the app instead without notice if this fee until going to place order read more

My wife and I having tried every Chinese restaurant in the Durham and Middletown area decided to try this place because of all the positive reviews. First time walking into this fine establishment this place is CLEAN and tidy . Menu was very good and the people working there were very knowledgeable and friendly. All the food we purchased to go was tasty and fresh . Can't wait to return and try more items on the menu!!!! read more

I tried Ming Garden because it has one of the better Yelp ratings for Chinese food in the area. They have seating, but the atmosphere is not a selling point. They had a bunch of boxes stacked up in the dining area. More of a takeout place. I ordered a lunch special that had thin strips of pork and string beans and a mlld savory sauce, pork fried rice and an egg roll. My order was ready on time. Overall, the food was just OK. The string beans were overcooked and a bit mushy. The pork was just Ok. The strips were too thin to really enjoy. The egg roll did not have the presence of oil that you would expect from a freshly cooked egg roll. It was dry and the fillings didn't pop for me. The pork fried rice was a bit above average for a Chinese takeout spot. Ming Garden may be worth trying in light of its Yelp rating, but it's not a place that will be in my area takeout rotation. 3 Stars read more

Our family had a blind taste test with Ming and another local Chinese restaurant. Ming won in every category except one. The boneless ribs were a little dry so they lost to the other place. Now Ming is our go to! read more

Sesame chicken was terrible. Breaded chicken blobs that were 70% breading. Never again. Not quality at all. Too bad because they were excellent at Town Line Rd in Rocky Hill. read more

Apparently this is a new Chinese restaurant that's opened in the Cromwell area. I stopped in and ordered a honey wing combination with vegetable fried rice. I grew up in New York and ate honey wings all the time so I was surprised to find it's not as common in CT. Overall, the food was tasty and really fresh. I am excited to try more things on the menu. I thought I ordered a combination but this did not come with an egg roll which was unusual. read more

Ming Garden Restaurant - Honey Wings & Vegetable Fried Rice - Chinese Near Me - Cromwell, Connecticut

Dinner was excellent. We are on a sports trip & stopped here. We asked if we could eat in vs to go, the woman told us either was fine, but that they serve everything in to go containers. Totally fine with us, we just planned to back to our hotel and eat in the lobby. Very short wait. She brought out plates and forks for us, super nice, she did not need to do that! She brought out what was ready first and the kids started in. Everything was excellent, piping hot just cooked. She brought over free waters, they asked if we needed any extra sauces. Excellent service. If we lived closer, we would definitely be regulars here. Six people, we ordered three dinner specials and a few sides and we have leftovers. Oh and an adorable little reusable bag. Really great experience. read more

Very good classic American Chinese. It's way less greasy and the ingredients and care making it are noticeably better. The people are very friendly and the prices are good. Top narks all around, I'm very pleased to have found them! read more

One of the best Chinese restaurants in the area. Delicious food, especially the fried rice and soups, good portions, and friendly staff

Middle-aged Chinese-American here. It's not about the ambiance, folks. It's about the food. I've eaten Chinese food on six continents. If you want to propose to your significant other, do it elsewhere (but order your food from here later on). If you want solid Chinese food that's fresh and done well, you won't go wrong with Ming Garden. Try the house special spring rolls, Curry Mei Fun (rice noodles) to start. Why is the food good? Because they do a ton of take-out, so all the food is freshly ordered and prepared. No week-old ingredients here. Pro tip, ask for recommendations from the chef, like with Japanese restaurant omakase ( I'll leave it up to you). I'm from NYC and came to CT for the weekend. I ended up coming here three times. If I lived here, this place would be my weekly go-to Chinese place. read more

This restaurant just opened, so I decided to try it out. It was honestly SO good! It was really fresh and well made. Honestly even just the pork fried rice was better than most I've had. I'm absolutely going to be ordering from here again. read more

We have been waiting for the owners of Ming Dynasty to reopen. We are so happy to have found them. Hands down, the best Chinese food in the area. Try the Aromatic Shrimp, it's awesome. The General Tso chicken can't be beat, have tried from other restaurants and what makes the difference is that it is mostly chicken with some breading. The others are mostly if not all breading (seems to be the trend). We will keep coming back here frequently!! read more

They are awesome & their food is delicious! Especially the gluten free items! The owner is friendly & the place is immaculate!

My new go to Chinese spot in town. A little bit more expensive than a lot of other places in the area, but you definitely get what you pay for, definitely worth it! read more

Surprised to find out this restaurant, that advertises fine dining is only takeout. You order at the counter, or online. The counter service was friendly and knowledgeable. The food was just what you would expect, not fine dining, but ok. Personally, I would rather have a sit down dining experience. read more

We got takeout for the first time from this restaurant. There are so many Asian restaurants in this town. I was surprised. I was actually pleasantly surprised.
