New spot in Bristow! Cute little spot with a nice ambiance. Ordered the Vegetable lomein and sesame balls - both were very good. Staff was attentive to my dietary needs. Great menu selection with bubble tea options! Reasonable pricing. Will def come back. read more

Ming's delivered a solid, crave-worthy spread across the board, but a couple dishes really stood out. The crab cheese wontons were exceptional--perfectly crisp with a creamy, well-balanced filling (not overly sweet like some can be). The General Tso's chicken hit that ideal sweet-heat balance, with a crisp that actually held up. Lo mein, fried rice, dumplings, and egg rolls rounded things out into a full, satisfying takeout feast--generous portions and consistently fresh. A reliable go-to with standout appetizers we'd absolutely order again. read more

Tried Ming's Cafe for the first time and it was pretty good overall! I got the Sesame Balls which were fried mochi with sesame seeds on the outside and red bean paste inside of the mochi. The red bean filling was soooo good and flavorful, but the texture wasn't really my favorite since the mochi was fried and a bit oily. Also, I got the Veggie Lo Mein and it was delicious -- definitely worth ordering. Overall its a nice spot and I would come back to try more things! read more

The worst pad Thai that I have ever had. It had a weird sweet flavor. Food was served on paper plates.Given a plastic fork but had to ask for a knife. Restaurant had only 4 tables but they were clean. read more

I had a great experience at Ming's Cafe, a casual stop for lunch or dinner. I got to meet Ming and she was excellent as well as her entire staff. I tried the chicken with snow peas and the chicken potstickers. Excellent Chinese food in VA! I will be back! read more

I haven't been here before but it had high reviews and was in the area. So glad I did! Everything was so full of flavor and fresh tasting too. The General Tso's chicken was super tender and the combination lo mien was fantastic. This is my new go to for Chinese! read more

The Kung Pao Beef is so good! I asked for extra spicy and it has just the right amount of spice read more

Ming’s Cafe - Kung Pao Beef - Chinese Near Me - Bristow, Virginia

Ming's Cafe is a Chinese Restaurant located in the Bristow Center retail complex. They opened their doors yesterday (Sept. 10, 2024). It's a small place on the inside - perhaps 3-4 tables to eat in. I placed an order to go: Hot n' Soup Soup (small); an order of Vegetable Rolls (with a side of House Chinese Mustard); and a Dinner order of Kung Pao Chicken (extra spicy). I wanted a large option for the Hot n' Sour soup - but the small size is the only size option for now. The soup was fine - the run-of-the-mill Hot n' Sour soup that a lot of American-ized Chinese Restaurants offer. The Vegetable Rolls were crisp and delicious - but on the greasy side. The House Chinese Mustard was good. The Kung Pao Chicken is served with a lot of celery. I could not detect any heat - even though I specified extra spicy. I would have like to see some broccoli, onions, scallions in the dish. There was also a good bit of oily residue in the bottom of the to-go container. The lady taking my order was very nice. Paid with Apple Pay. #MingsCafe read more

I just found this place. I was very happy with the food and the service! This will be my "go to" Chinese take out establishment!

De. Lic.ous!!! Food was delicious hot, fresh and cooked well. I had chicken dumplings and orange chicken. Partner had chicken w snow peas. The chicken dumpling were very hot and crunchy. Very fresh. The orange chicken was fried well, crunchy. The sauce was sticky orangy, and flavorful. The chicken w snow peas was tender, and equally flavorfu.. service was also good! Next time I'm in the area, definitely going again. I recommend you go too. read more

Delicious food with great service from staff! We got the General tso's chicken and pork soup dumplings. The chicken was so fresh! Crispy on the outside and juicy inside. 10/10 would recommend :) read more

Ming’s Cafe - General Tso's Chicken Pork Dumplings - Chinese Near Me - Bristow, Virginia

Fresh food, good portions, and very reasonable prices. Ming's Café is a solid choice in VA. Ming's Café is a great spot for anyone who enjoys delicious Asian cuisine and excellent service. I'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to others. read more

Had the Mongolian beef and Singapore rice noodles. These two dishes are $4-5 more than two other Chinese restaurant in Gainesville and Warrenton. Though the Mongolian beef was tender with good flavor, it was lacking in quantity for the higher price charged. Singapore noodles had a lot of red bell pepper, that changed the taste, didn't care for it. I've eaten the dish at a dozen Chinese restaurants, never had the bell pepper added to the noodles...tried it, not returning, it's not worth it. read more

I wanted to try this place out multiple times to give a more honest review while also trying a variety of dishes. Let me say this first... Mings hasn't been here for a full week and has been THE best Chinese (flavor and portion wise) restaurant in the Bristow area. I have tried all of the Chinese spots around here, and Mings so far has been nothing but great and gives the community another choice for food. My family tried the Tso chicken, pepper steak, orange chicken. I've tried the crispy beef, shrimp fried rice, vegetable spring roll, egg drop, and hot and sour soup. They all were very flavorful, and the portions are plenty for sharing. The only gripe I have about this place is that the spring roll was slightly greasy. I'm not sure if it had ginger in it, but the taste was too strong to enjoy. The customer service provided has been great so far. Their location sits in an awkward pocket of the Bristow crossing shopping plaza. Blame the builders for the terrible layout. Overall...great start and I'm already pondering what I should order next!! Welcome to the area Mings! read more

My father and I have come back three times and have tried 6 different dishes. I have to say this is probably our new favorite local place I recommend going during lunch time and eating inside so it's super fresh read more

Just meh. Had high hopes based on reviews. Food was boring, nothing special. Minimal taste. Ordered Mongolian beef and it was 97% onions and barely any beef read more

Ming’s Cafe - Mongolian beef after I ate all the beef and a ton of onions. Almost full still and it's all onions! - Chinese Near Me - Bristow, Virginia

Service was prompt. Food was fresh. Place was clean. I wish the general Tso's chicken was a tad crispier. Shrimp and broccoli was good. Wonton soup needed a bit of salt. In all, I'd go back. read more

This is my family's go to restaurant for Chinese food. Sometimes when there's no time to cook in the evening, we can rely on Ming's for a yummy dinner. Def recommend! read more

We've ordered here twice and it's very consistent. The orange chicken was a total letdown as it smelled and tasted like lemon so we'll never order that again. The sesame chicken, spring rolls and fried rice are great so we'll just stick to our favorites from here. read more

Best Chinese food you can get in Bristow!!! The owners are very friendly and care a lot about the quality of their food :)

Food was good, service was great and they have three tables in the dining area (2-4 tops & 1-2 top). Seems to have a good takeout business volume. While we dined in, there were probably 12-15 take away pick ups. Will likely return to try other menu items in the future. read more

Went to Ming's last night for the first time. It is small but very clean. The service was top notch as was the food. Highly recommend and will certainly be going back in the near future. read more

First of all, this review is taking into account my normal Chinese place which is also OK. We ordered Szechuan Green beans. Not hot or spicy, but a lot, sort of soggy not crispy beans. 2nd up-Crispy Shredded Beef. Not crispy, and not spicy as indicated with the hot pepper symbol; more sweet. It wasn't crispy because it was swimming in a sea of juices from the overwhelming volume of vegetables. My husband hates veggies so this wasn't a good choice for him. Finally. #3 was the Chicken Fried Rice. I thought it was good and there was a lot of chicken compared to other places. For these 3 items and tax (plus $2 delivery tip) it came to $51. It's at least 15% more than my go to off of Heathcote. We might try something else but besides the CFR I wouldn't re-order any of the other items. I'd be interested in opinions on other dishes that are not seafood or veggies. Also, I did find it curious how some people have claimed they "dined in". Sitting in a room with 4 tables is not what I'd describe as "dining". read more

The store was small, but it was very cozy. They have a little area for people who want to eat in, which is always a plus! Honestly though? Their food is the best Chinese Food I've eaten. Every time I order, I order the Pan Fried Pork Buns. I usually get Chicken Broccoli or Pepper Steak with them and its there are NEVER left overs. That's just how good the food it. The staff are nice too! They make sure your order is correct before sending it to the Kitchen and its always out super fast. I honestly recommend eating there if you crave Chinese. read more

The service was super friendly and the food was good! The restaurant seems more catered towards takeout versus dine in (only 3 tables, no real plates or silverware). We got the kung pao chicken and the general tso chicken. The portions are generous as well! I will be back :) read more

Pretty good Chinese food. Ordered pan fried dumplings and General Tso's shrimp. No vegetables in the dish. Just shrimp with the sauce. Shouldn't this one at least have green onions?? Asked the owner as to why no vegetables. He stated that they can fit more meat in the takeout box (like large pieces of shrimp) rather than cram in vegetables on top. Some meat entrees have vegetables and others such as General Tso's do not here. Be forewarned! :) Otherwise, everything tasted good. Fast and friendly service! read more

Ming’s Cafe - Leftovers! - Chinese Near Me - Bristow, Virginia

Probably one of the best Chinese spots I have ever had that is actually very close to me! Services is good, they are very friendly. The food is good it tastes very authentic and surprisingly it doesn't make me feel swollen after eating. It is a bit sad to see how empty the restaurant looks every time I walk in, I don't think people actually know the restaurant is there half of the time. Sometime at night the restaurant does look semi dark but other than that It is a very cute and calm place to have lunch or dinner or even go on a small date. I highly recommend this place!!! read more

Recently ordered delivery- the order was correct with our modifications, food was tasty, we will order from here again.

We found the food was delicious but definitely a take out place. My husband and I "dined in" and the food was served on paper plates with plastic forks. Soup and soup dumplings arrived in/on paper products. Just weird. But will definitely try again for take out! read more

The food was ok. Kind of high priced for the quantity. The cheese wontons were chewy. The sweet and sour chicken was mushy on the inside. The eggs were good. The lo mein and beef fried rice was good. read more

On a recent trip to Bristow to visit a friend, we dined at Ming's Chinese Restaurant while heading back to NYC. I ordered the Chicken with Broccoli, and it was great. The white meat chicken was tender and flavorful, unlike over-marinated or overcooked versions I've had elsewhere. My wife went for the General Tso's Chicken, and it came out fresh from the kitchen, piping hot and juicy on the inside. The service was friendly. Ming's is a gem for anyone craving quality Chinese food in Bristow. read more

I eat here regularly and as a Chinese person I will say that the food here is very authentic and affordable! Would definitely recommend it if you're in the area or passing through. read more

Ordered delivery and got egg rolls, dumplings and chow fun. It was all very tasty. The Chinese American style take outs around here aren't my go to's. This one will be our go to from now on. Everything was fresh and tasty! Even my kids (who are super picky) liked the food. read more

I've been going here for a while now and every time the food has been great! We love the General Tso's chicken and Sesame shrimp. Food always comes out fast and the service is polite and efficient. read more

The food was OK. It's carryout place for a quick Chinese option in the area where there is NONE. Luckily they have Veg choices. Owner was open to suggestions for more Veg Meatless options so let's hope. read more

Overall the meal was great, ordering online was easy and they even called when it was ready for pickup. We ordered- crab Rangoon, egg rolls, chicken lomein, sesame chicken and spicy chicken with vegetables. Everything was delicious, except we were not a fan of the sesame chicken, perhaps because it didn't have a fried coated texture and was super sweet! I will say tho, those were some solid chunks of chicken! read more

My son had lo mein and orange chicken here and said it was wonderful. He actually asked me to give it a five star review.

This place has the best Chinese food in the area. My family loves it! The service is grea: fast and friendly. I was in and out in 10 minutes with my takeout order. They remember us and our special orders (my husband loves snow peas). It's a cute place. They're conveniently located next to Panera Bread and Chipotle which is great if anyone in your family wants something different. read more
