The best gravy ever! You gotta try the " egg foo Yung"! Food is always fresh Just wished they would open on Sunday's I live in Detroit. And will travel here no matter what"! This place is no bigger than a corner; But much bigger when it comes to taste. A full circle of delicious food. And they have ,"spring rolls yawl! read more

Ordered from here a year ago, so this review is overdue but idc. I just randomly thought about it again and yeah The staff was rude as hell. Rushed me off the phone when I was making an order and then got mad at me because she messed up my order. The food is very bland as well, so it's not even worth the hassle to deal with rude people. read more

NEW OWNERS CAN'T COOK!! I have been going here for over 20 years. Food used to be fantastic. New owners took over in September or October. Decide to try it. So very DISAPPOINTED!!! The egg foo young was rather nasty! It came separate from the gravy, which was a very dark brown color instead of the lighter brown gravy I'm used to. The egg rolls were not good at all!! The fried rice was decent. It was a really dark color, which I thought was burnt at first, but it tasted ok. The food is so very different (not in a good way) from how previous owners made it. I will definitely not be going back!! I want Chinese food that's good, and this place does not have good food anymore!!! read more

This used to be one of my favorite places to eat!! I moved away about 2 years ago and was looking forward to having it this trip back. Apparently it's under new management and the food is not good at all!! Sad! read more

Just moved to the neighborhood and ate here first yep passed up Polish good and Yemeni Food because I'm a sucker for Chinese food! I was too hungry to get a picture of everything but I ordered Singapore Noodles with Shrimps and it did not disappoint! The portion is large and they didn't skimp on the shrimps either. I ordered Wonton Soup and most times wherever I go and order wonton soup to go it's usually horrible but theirs had fresh wontons and green onions which I didn't have to ask for and pay extra and bean sprouts the broth was good not salty just natural. I also ordered a egg roll which was still hot after me walking home with it. Over all my food was delicious I remember when this place opened over 19 years ago i probably was one of their first customers and look at me now living real close to them lol! read more

See all

if I could give a 0, I would this food is horrible and warning you will be on the toilet with uncontrollable diarrhea for hours. this place should not be allowed to sell food to anyone. read more

Their food is awful now if you ever want Chinese food do not go there they put shrimp and all of their egg rolls so if you have an allergy you won't even know I'd stay clear of them there's a lot of other places that are 20 times better read more

try the Chinese vegetable soup. Best I've had in years and the best around here. All the good veggies, carrots, celery, peapods, water chestnuts , big mushrooms and baby corn. yumm. The beef with vegetebles is very good. This is my first time there, won't be my last. you'll be glad you did. read more

Great, tasty food. You get plenty of food for two to share. The owner is friendly and very pleasant to see. She definitely appreciates loyal patrons to her business. Best Chinese food in the area. read more

The food is so good here, and the staff is really nice. There's no where to sit so it's carry out only. Prices are cheaper for carry out than doordash. Make sure to order yourself! read more

I love this place the food is always hot and fresh and the lady that works in the front is so nice .

I stopped at this restaurant to pickup dinner. The quantity of food was awesome! There was enough food for 2 more meals! The quality of the food was so bad neither my husband or I could eat it. We both had Almond Boneless Chicken. In my opinion they needed to change the oil in the fryer the food had a rancid taste. I thought maybe the gravy would cover the rancid taste, no way. The gravy had no taste at all. I don't understand why you would provide such large portions when they can't even change the oil in their fryer. We couldn't eat the food! All of it went down the disposal. $26.50 down the drain! I worked in the area years ago and their food was always exceptional. I was going to be in the area and felt it would a good place to pick up dinner. Never again! read more

almond chicken dinner and shrimp egg fu young patties let start with the almond chicken with gravy and plain fried rice and a medeocre egg roll,sstraight up tasteless gummy batter chicken raw dought , rice was jack leg ass boring, the egg roll was small and tasteless, the chopped up so call vegetable gravy taste like taste like the frozen spring rollout of the freezer section in the grocery store that you would heat and serve the food was straight up (TRASH TRASH TRASH ) the egg fu young patties where just okay this was my first and last visit they have made me a beleiver there is no such thing as good chinese food like back in the 80s and 90s when food with cook by someone that cared read more

I ordered eggrolls and Szechuan beef. The eggrolls were fresh and did not taste of any weird oil. The filling was good and not greasy. The Szechuan beef was the real star. Great flavor, the vegetables are cooked properly. The fried rice in the side was also very good. I have had so many bad experiences with takeout Chinese food lately and that I have not been ordering it much. I can't speak for their fried dishes, but if this is a sign of what they do for a stirfry you should definitely order it if you prefer that style of Chinese. read more

Tried to place an order over the phone and had worst possible experience. After a brutal conversation to just get my order clarified I asked her for the total to which she gave me a price or $19 for just a single order of Szechuan beef for ONE person. She said they weren't doing lunch pricing and have now begun "dinner" prices... it was only 3:30pm. Given how hungry I was at the time I would have still placed the order, but it was her attitude about it that stripped me of that idea and to write this review instead; suggesting "I should go somewhere else" if I didn't like the price. read more

This is my new go-to chinese joint. Egg drop soup, egg rolls, lo mein noodles where all fantastic. This is a long-time one family owner business. Great people and great shop. read more

Decades of following folks full house everyday between 11am and 1pm dozens of lunch take outs,,, just what does that say. Very quaint dining area with plenty of parking at front door in strip mall. Always a fantastic experience truly a hidden gem. Today dining solo started with Hot Sour Soup spot on delicious. The lunch portion Shrimps Egg Foo Young with Rice and delicious Egg roll. Got me favorite fresh squeezed Red Pepper Sauce bring on the heat. Great fast friendly service from a young guy with spiked hair like a peacock just had to laugh to myself ha ha. #mingsunrestaurant #melvindale #downriverfriendseat #shrimpeggfooyoung #hotsoursoup read more

Huge portions and decent quality Chinese food! Watch out for those huge fish in there.

At first glance, you may assume this place is just another small Chinese restaurant with nothing special to offer. I only say that because that is what I thought when my friends were trying to bring me here. After they yanked my chain thoroughly, I finally went. And, it is a decision I do not regret! Great food, great service, spotless bathroom, and even more emphasis on the delectable food. Recommend: egg drop soup, and curry chicken dinner. It doesn't get much more delicious than this! read more

I haven't considered Chinese food for lunch for quite some time now.. It's like one of those things I used to do, before I was really into food.. Anyways co-workers were going here for lunch and I joined along. My expectations were pretty low. Looks like your standard Chinese restaurant-in-a-strip-mall on the inside, even down to the dingy fish tank. Ordered the szechuan shrimp for lunch. Came out hot and smelling very nice. Had that charred pepper smell like it was fire grilled. Taste was really good, like way above my expectations! Medium was actually spicy, although I'll get hot next time. Peppers and water chestnuts were fresh tasting. Good flavor on the sauce. The shrimp was plump, de-veined and cooked right. Yum! The woman working there was feisty, she actually slapped the hand of another person in our party who mistakenly reached over for the wrong soup bowl. Bold move! But we laughed it off. read more

Stopped in for lunch Overall good flavor descent prices Nice portions, clean and friendly Will return read more

Awesome :) I have been goin there for quite sometime food is always delicious and hot and fast dine in or carry out its always good

This is definitely a not-so-pretty strip mall Chinese restaurant, but I'd be happy to go back when I'm in the area. I'm writing this review so I don't forget about it! As another reviewer recommended, the Szechuan entrees were very good (I had the chicken). I also recommend the beef with pea pods. The egg rolls were perfectly fried- they had not been sitting around getting soggy. We appreciated the chicken fried rice that came with the combinations, rather than the standard white rice. The egg drop soup had a strong orange tint, and I can't quite figure out if it was ketchup, or something else. it put my mom off, but I still thought it tasted good. I liked my wonton soup, and no, they don't have hot and sour. read more

This is the only Chinese restaurant we go too. Everything is fresh and the cook sure can cook well! I read other reviews and never saw "bits of wok" or had "cold food" or had chicken. Everything has always been hot and delicious. One order gets me two meals. read more

Go-to Chinese. Fresh, made to order. Beats out the rest in the area. Combo plates great price- lunch combo can be ordered any time of day.

Great place The cashier knew almost everyone by name who were picking up food to go so it is very popular with repeat customers. I had Happy Family. Great food. Reasonable prices. Said they had been in this location for 15 years. Highly recommend. read more

Found this place on Yelp, have been here a few times also with wife. Nothing fancy about the place but their Lo Mein is very tasty and we always order our food extra hot. This has become our go-to place for chinese as we didn't find other restaurants in the area very tasty. Prices may seem a bit high but they put lots of veggies including mushroom in their servings. Overall a little gem! read more

Great service, friendly staff, delicious food. Great prices. We ordered the lunch combo, scezchuan chicken. Delicious, cooked to the desired spice level, Winton soup was simple and lovely. AND I forgot my purse and the waitress ran out to deliver it to me before I drove away. Awesome overall experience. read more

Work at Ford down the street my freind suggested this for lunch double order with Crab Rang Goon (cream cheese wrapped in flour) and it was over $16 each for lunch. I was very disappointed in the quality of the food since it had no veggies and to me was worth abuot $5. Won't be going back there soon, WAY over priced for what you get. read more

The food is always good and no other chinese place compares to this establishment.The almond ckicken or general chicken we usually order and it is never overbreaded or dried out and the rice always taste fresh. read more

Located near the border of Allen Park and Melvindale, in a plaza at the corner of Oakwood and Allen Roads, this restaurant is small in size (9-10 tables, tops) but they have a wide range or inexpensively priced entrees, especially for lunch. Their Szechuan dishes are fantastic (one of best in the Detroit area), and my coworkers and I either eat-in or get takeout from Ming Sun at least once a week. Ming Sun is a favorite of many people in our building -- you always see people you know eating there. The small staff always greets regulars by name and often remembers your favorite order whenever you dine or call in a carryout. read more

Great small Chinese restaurant. Go there for lunch a few times a month. Staff is great, food is great. Love the hot and sour soup and eggrolls! Don't like that they turned it into a take out window. Kind of detracts from the restaurant feel. read more

Terrible, overpriced, small portions. Oof. Atmosphere was rushed. Cashier was flighty. Worst experience to date.

Cannot Beat this place for the price. Been a customer here for many many years, never had a bad meal. Friendly staff, but don't judge the interior ambiance, judge the food. read more

I tried. Really, I did. The rice was infused with burnt bits of the wok (if they even used a wok), which made my Shrimp Fried Rice actually appear to be the half brother of Cajun Rice. The egg roll was beyond dry, both inside and out, and it took more than a reasonable amount of effort to bite through it. I asked for gravy on the side for my rice, and I got this congealed glob of brown jelly-like substance, that I was afraid would begin to move on its' own if I kept looking at it, so I hurriedly closed the lid. The chicken was fried beautifully on the outside, so I give them 4 stars for their batter & fry skills, but the meat was extremely tough and hard, so I give them a -4 for the consistency of the chicken. The lemon sauce for the chicken was very good. Too bad I had nothing else to eat it with. Overall I wouldn't give Ming Sun a second chance, and it's unfortunate, because I love Chinese food, and it is conveniently located near my job. If you decide to try this place maybe your experience will be different; for the sake of all of the egg rolls in the world, I hope it is. read more

Nasty food my chicken is hard am order almond chicken is hard the person working in front is rude don't listen the order a never back ..... read more

Ming sun is one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in the detroit area. I worked there as a cashier when I was 16. The owners really care about there customers and make great food. I usually get the double combination and it never disappoints. read more

I've been here twice for lunch. Typical Americanized Chinese food. Nothing special and a little expensive for what you get. Usually lunch specials include soup, but it is $1 extra here. You can do better than Ming Sun, but wish I could find good, authentic Chinese food in the metro area. read more

10 STARS!! This place is the best! I highly recommend them. Just a small place located in a strip mall, but they have the best food.

Food was very good... Egg rolls and fried dumplings were average but lunch choice was better then average for all in our party.
