    Beef Mongolian
    Richard H.

    Here is my two cents on the quality quantity of Ming Palace. It was delivered by Grubhub in a timely manner, and it arrived very hot . I ordered two separate but equally delicious beef chow Fong . One was a grand Chow Fung in which there was chicken, shrimp, and pork . Plenty of chicken and pork and we counted seven good size shrimp . The second order was beef chow fung. And we found it to have plenty of slices beef.. Though the containers have shrunken in size, it was still quite full filing to sometimes have an extra meal the next day .. I was quite happy and highly recommended this place again .

    Started my online order in the parking lot in front of the store after taking care of business at a local establishment. I decided to go inside and placed my order face to face.. I got home, didn't eat immediately I was handing after work stuff . Now ready to eat I opened my VEGETABLE FRIED RIICE AND NOW THERE IS SHRIMP IN THE MIX. I went inside to hopefully to make my initial order and now this miss this mix up. Total fail!! And now they are closed

    Not Bad. Sometimes it's so good and sometimes it is just ok. I don't know if they have different chefs, but you definitely taste the difference.

    This is sooooooooooooooooooooo Gooooooooooooooood, the only reason I don't give it 5 is because they don't give you a lot of beef, I wish they would give you more beef then the veggies, BUT this is so good, it's all I get when I come here

    Wor wonton soup
    Jen M.

    I'm very picky on my Chinese food and the restaurants I frequent. Felt like trying a new place and I'm so glad I chose Ming Palace. I ordered the Wor WonTon Soup & family meal for 2 with chicken chow mein & sweet n sour chicken. Wor wonton soup is spot on. Full of flavor, chicken, shrimp & wontons very soft, baby bokchoy scrumptious, chicken chowmein & sweet n sour chicken very tender & bursting with flavor. We will definitely be regular customers.

    Fried shrimp n chow fun .... "large tray" lol
    Dao V.

    Will not ordering from this lying business owner or manager! My wife n I went into the restaurant and ordered two "large trays", we specifically asked to see the large tray n he only showed us the small tray and stated its double in size. My wife then asked if it was the same depth and he said yes. We picked up the order n the "large trays" were not as Deep as the small trays(see pic below of the rice n fried chicken). LYING POS. This was for my first son's bday n we barely had enough food for a small gathering ... the beef chow fun tasted ok but the shrimp were barely enough to cover the tray n only one level... luckily we had a lot of fried chicken (two more boxes-not pictured) n we made other dishes. Do not order from his dishonest business. Should have drove further n order elsewhere!

    Generally OK as west coast Chinese goes, but lately they've gotten EXTREMELY stingy with their sauces when you get take out.

    The cucumber salad at this place has been on my mind for the last 4 days. In a desperate attempt to…read morerecreate it, I used too much garlic and made a giant mess in my kitchen. So I'm planning my next trip here this week so I can enjoy the amazing cucumber salad (so fresh, crunchy and garlicky), their pepper beef clay pot (sizzling rice at the bottom for the win and big portions), their spicy tofu (umm what?!? So crispy) and their awesome skewers (the pork belly is my favorite). The space is small, so if you're planning on dining in during peak times, you may want a back up or take it to go as they only have a handful of tables inside and a few tables outside. There is parking but it is shared with other business so can get busy. The service is wonderful! The hostess/waitress was very friendly and everything came out relatively quick. The clay pot does take some time (they need to cook up the rice to get that awesome crunchy bottom) so place your order for that first, and then look at the appetizers and skewers as they come out fast. This was my first trip but will not be my last to Da Fei Ge!

    I came here before on a weekday and it was mostly empty. The food was good and even though you…read morecould tell it was a mostly chinese-speaking restaurant, it wasnt too difficult to order. It was nice enough that I tried to come here on a weekend night and it was packed full of families which is great but probably where I should have thought about it more. We went up to the counter and were told to wait a few minutes. I saw that a large table was clearing up so I didn't mind waiting. During this time a group came up behind us and I thought they were after us. One of the server waved in our general direction after cleaning up and splitting the table, so I thought they were gesturing to us since it has already been 10 minutes of waiting. Wrong, it was to the group behind us. Maybe it was communicated in mandarin that they had a reservation, I'm not sure. I waited for the next empty table, which was also taken by yet another group that magically appeared behind us as if they knew they were in line. I decided to leave after this. My issue is that I looked and talked to the staff multiple times and at no point, did they indicate there was a waitlist, nor did they take my name, or anything about people in front of us. It was really frustrating because being told it would be a few minutes set the wrong expectation. This is not the only place to get skewers so if you're left confused where you are in line, just come another weekday, speak mandarin, or go somewhere else like I did

The rice wrapper was thin and the shrimp was meaty and fresh and had a good bite. The beef balls and shui mai were disappointing. The textures were too soft and didn't have much flavor.

We ordered a ton of dishes, probably more than two people really needed it, but we wanted to make sure we got to taste some of our favorites. Overall, the dim sum is OK. My husband and I lived in the Bay Area for a while before moving to Davis for school, so our standards are pretty high. Unfortunately this is not going to be my new go to. Although the flavors of the food were pretty OK, we found everything to be really soft. Our shrimp and chive dumplings were literally disintegrating and my chicken feet were too soft. The sticky rice, however, and the tripe were delicious sui mai, and ha gao were pretty good, with the sui mai being pretty juicy. We paid $100 for 10 dishes! I know prices have gone up everywhere but this felt pretty steep. Overall, I don't think we'd come back. I would rather go to South Sacramento and eat dim sum there and then get my Asian grocery shopping done. Restaurant itself looked like a standard Chinese dim sum restaurant. Nothing to write home about.

We tried the - Mongolian bbq ribs - spring rolls - crab Rangoon - honey walnut shrimp - salt and pepper calamari - pork fried rice - Mongolian beef - Orange chicken - chow mein - green beans Everything was delicious. 10/10. Highly recommend the honey walnut shrimp and salt and pepper calamari. For our leftovers, we even had another server who kindly packed our food. Idk when we last had that happen at a restaurant. It was so nice! The interior decoration and ambiance was very cozy and elegant at the same time. We also tried the banana cream and chocolate cream - and these were so yummy!

Despite there being endless selections in Sacramento sometimes the American Chinese options are .... bleh ... They are either too oily. Mediocre taste. Overpriced. It's hard to find one that really stands out. Recently my coworkers and I all pitched in on takeout from here for Lunar New Year and ordered five dishes as takeout. One of my coworkers was the one who recommended this spot. Let me just say the food was incredible. The seafood chow mein was the standout dish out of everything. Loaded with octopus tentacles, scallops, shrimp. Feel like half the time you get seafood options these days they skimp out but this place did not disappoint. The fried rice was a little more unique than I've personally tried before with pieces of beef and cabbage. But still very tasty. And the pork dishes we got including the sweet and sour were just incredible. One thing I do want to mention was some pieces of the pork did have a bone attached, but I honestly didn't mind it much. The flavor made it up for it. Also inside of this place looks very modern, clean. Since we only got takeout I can't say for certain service for sit down but ordering and getting our food was simple. The staff were very kind and friendly. Again, THANK GOD I finally have a good Chinese food option. No more oily salty food or Panda Express.

The bad - the salt and pepper fish had a great batter, but I feel they're battered too much, and the actual fish piece inside is tiny. My house chow mein didn't have a single shrimp in it. Lots of beef, which was good, but the char smell from the beef was the only thing you could taste on the noodles. It's almost like the chef cooked the noodles on whatever the beef was cooked on. The noodles we had ordered from here a month ago had very good flavor, but not a one note beef flavor. There was a lot of beef and chicken in the house chow mein, but zero shrimp means the cook either forgot or they didn't have them and thought it would be ok to add more beef. Either way, I paid extra for my selection, and didn't get it. Am I Pissy? Yes. Am I honest? Also a Yes. 3 stars this trip, probably my last.
