One of the best Chinese restaurants I have ever been to! Authentic, fresh and delicious. They make their own mustard but watch out it is spicy! Sat in the front room with huge windows looking over the Niagara River. Service was fast and efficient! Spring rolls were fantastic Sizzling beef was excellent Miso soup was good however the wontons were a bit too doughy. read more

Ming Teh - Sizzling beef - Chinese Near Me - Fort Erie, Ontario

Been going to this iconic restaurant in Fort Erie for years. Years ago you had to make a reservation two or three weeks in advance. Now you don't have the same problem. Same great food I remember. We had the Won Ton soup and the sweet and sour. Next we order the moo-sho pork pancakes with hoisin sauce , steam dumplings, crispy beef ,orange chicken and some fried rice. Everything was the bomb! We ended with a fortune cookie. Service was terrific! A must try restaurant! read more

So I went here based on a recommendation that I received about it being good. Its just over the peace bridge so it didn't take long to get here. Upon arriving we were seated by a window. I didnt make reservations and the back room was reserved already as it was a Saturday,but we were able to see the water still. Its small inside but cozy. Our table had some water on it and the woman who seated us just wiped it off with her hand and then walked away. I ordered the crunchy sesame garlic chicken with a side of rice and we got beef and broccoli. The food took about 20 minutes to come and I was not happy at all. My fork was dirty so I asked for chopsticks which were then placed on the table that was clearly not thoroughly clean. The chicken didn't have a bad flavor, but it was basically just a crispy coating and no real meat. Some pieces were so hard it was hard to believe they served me that. I told the server when she asked how it was, but she made no attempt to see if I wanted anything else or to rectify the bad quality,just said oh sorry. My husband did enjoy his beef and broccoli , but said it was nothing special worth coming back for. I'd personally never go back here. Perhaps my experience was just a bad day but they definitely rubbed me the wrong way read more

Beautiful setting with picture windows facing the Niagara river is awesome. But wait. What about the food and service like? Well as other reviews state it's really a very lovely dining experience. Service is attentive, informative and unrushed. We ordered soups, fried dumplings as appetizers. Then we split an entree order of hot and sour fried rice with pork, chicken and shrimp and a whole Peking Duck between 4 adults and were so happy. It was such a big surprise because 2 had never had the Peking duck and the fried rice seemed like a weird choice but it was a perfect counterpoint to the richness of the duck. Treat yourself to a nice dining experience. read more

Ordered hot and sour soup, vegetable dumpling and moo shu pork with hosein sauce which is an extra 75 cent option which I think should be included without extra charge. Everything tasted fine. Pleasantly surprised that the server put together the pancakes for the moo shu pork. Also surprised that there were no chopsticks available as part of the table setting. There was only one server and there were only a couple of patrons at 1 pm on a Sunday. They open late at 12 noon. There is a view of the Niagara River though you see the interstate highway on the opposite shore. read more

We drove from Buffalo, and the drive was definitely worth it. Our food was fresh, authentic, and delicious. We started with the fried dumplings. These had a thicker than normal dough, and a super juicy filling. They came with a dumpling sauce as well. I could have eaten about 3 more orders of these. I was obsessed. We ordered a lot of entrees. The beef and broccoli was thin, tender, and juicy. The stir fried vegetable noodles were thin and had a super umami flavor. The vegetables in the noodles soaked up the sauce beautifully. The Jasmine spare ribs were something I've never tried before, but they were sticky, moist, and full of flavor. We also got the crispy sesame ginger chicken - which lived up to it's name. Very crunchy and definitely ginger flavored, this was another dish like I've never had before. The restaurant was right on the river, which was really cool. It would be interesting in the daytime to see the boats go by. Our server was super friendly! Overall, we had a great experience here and we're glad we made the trip over the border to eat dinner together. read more

To finish off our anniversary celebrations, my boyfriend and I had reservations for one of their special dinners, which was a dim sum night. We only just found out about this place after my realtor told me that she comes here often because it is that good. Buffalo really doesn't have great Chinese food, or if they do, I have not found it. I love that Ming Teh has a huge window overlooking the river. It is a great spot. The interior is wonderfully decorated and I really loved the entire experience. The service was fantastic. I can't tell you what we had, but we had many courses. The standouts to me included the vermicelli and beef noodles, the steamed crab dumpling and the sesame roll stuffed with bean paste. I also liked the scallion pancake a lot. Each dish, though was very good. We can't wait to come back and try items off the menu. Even though you need to cross an international border, it is extremely close to Buffalo and well worth the border crossing hassle. read more

Ming Teh - Chinese Near Me - Fort Erie, Ontario

Food was average. I remember it being much better in years past. I don't like that you can't get a side of fried rice with your meal- you can only get white rice, you can't even get a side of brown rice. View is great - you are right by the water. I won't be returning. read more

I did a takeout on moo shu pork . Not a piece of pork in the meal or a strip of pork, I should say mushrooms which I didn't expect and the rice was dry The pancakes I believe are left over from the day before The hoisin sauce was extra Paid $23 Canadian Did not really enjoy the meal very disappointed there was no pork in my Moo Shu PORK read more

Best Chinese food in the area including Buffalo. We have never had a meal we didn't love. We have spent many a family birthday as well as other celebrations there. The Peking duck is excellent and must be pre-ordered. The service is friendly and efficient very casual atmosphere. Fun with a group read more

The BEST Chinese cuisine! Absolutely love this place as I make special trips to eat here. Minutes from the border and set on the waterfront, Ming Teh has amazing hot and sour rice and my favorite cherry sweet and sour pork! The servers are very personable and are always good for a laugh. Food comes out hot and fresh. Love that the restaurant is set on the water front. The dining area and bathroom are both clean. Very comfortable dining here. This is actual Chinese food not like the American version as this is more authentic! Def check this place out! read more

Very average cuisine. I liked my soup, which was hot and sour, and I liked the view, which was terrific. The restaurant was empty. Yes, there was some snow coming down, but it was dinner time on a Thursday night and no one was there. As I said, food was OK. read more

My wife wanted to try this place out for her birthday today, and we are both so glad we did. We had soup, spring rolls, and split two dishes. She had the stir fried chicken and shrimp with cashews and almonds (33 on the menu) and I had the deep fried fish in sauce of garlic, bean paste, ginger, chili pepper, and minced pork (86 on the menu). We have always enjoyed Chinese food, but this was another level of good! When they say that their food is different, each dish from another and their food from any other Chinese restaurant we have ever tried, believe them. It was wonderful. The service was friendly and good, and even though we were there at an off time, everything was fresh, hot, and delicious. read more

My husband and I stopped in for lunch on a weekday in September. We wanted an outing on one of the last days of summer. We decided a drive along the Niagara Parkway in Canada and lunch at Ming Teh was the answer. The food was as good as we remembered. We ordered from the lunch menu a hot and sour soup and a spring roll for our appetizer. Then the crunchy sesame chicken and the dry-fried beef for our entrees. Rice was ordered separately. The view of the river is impressive. The service was prompt and professional. It was a good outing. read more

Delicious. We ordered a wide array, all of it fantastic. From soup and dumplings to entrees and fried rice, every dish was flavorful and authentic. Service was prompt and friendly, like family. We also enjoyed the view of the river. read more

Always a treat to go to Ming Teh's. Like many others, we come from land down under (Buffalo, NY) . Funny telling friends we go to another country for great chinese food. Personal favorite is #65 (Dry Fried Chewy Beef Strips with Ginger & Garlic). So good and different. Like eating beef "Candy!" Fun to explore other dishes as well. Recently learned Kang Pao is different version than Kung Pao. We usually order a vegetable dish to complement the meat entrees. The food. The View. The friendly/appreciative owner. Worth crossing the border for this culinary experience. read more

Ming Teh - Kang Pao Chicken, (left) Dry Fried Chewy Beef Strips with Ginger & Garlic (center) and Mushroom, Asparagus and Snow peas (right) - Chinese Near Me - Fort Erie, Ontario

I hadn't been to this restaurant in many years but remembered how much I enjoyed it years ago. The food and service are excellent. It's just over the border in Fort Erie, a couple of minutes from the Peace Bridge. I'm glad I had the chance to go back. My husband enjoyed Moo Shu pork and soup and I had soup and a pork dish as well. It's in a lovely setting and I recommend it. read more

Don't waste your money, Happy Jacks DEFINITELY better, after waiting for almost one hr for our food it finally came but in spurts not all at once. Everything was very bland and the fried rice had a very vinegary flavor to it as well as being mushy. One of the tables that came in after us actually stopped at our table and told my husband and I that they felt bad because we waited so long for our food‍ on top of everything our waitress who I think may have been the owner was very abrupt and slightly rude. We give this place a 5 thumbs down. read more

We are finally able to cross the border and enjoy southern Ontario!! It's is my favorite Chinese restaurant, period!! We ordered the beef with orange peel and garlic and The Happy Family. We started with soup. I had the hot and sour and the bride had the wonton! The soup was the best part of the meal as both were delicious!!! The main entrees were good but seemed to be lacking in flavor. The service was ok, but not great and it wasn't very busy. I neeeded to call over the waitress to ask for more white rice and never got my water refilled! read more

The food was amazing, as was the service! Next time we cross the border, we will stop here again!

My husband and I were over the border for an evening away, and opted for dinner at Ming Teh. The outside of Ming Teh is very colorful and inviting. Inside, the dining room is comfortable and overlooks the Niagara River. It was a beautiful view for dinner at nearly sunset. Ming Teh doesn't have a full bar, but about a dozen mixed drinks on the drink menu, and a variety of wines. We started with cocktails, a straight-up martini and fuzzy navel. Both were well made. For appetizers, my husband tried the saki soup and we shared the vegetable dumplings. The saki soup was an interesting flavor, but not very hearty, mostly broth. The vegetable dumplings were delicious, a steamed soft dough with a sauerkraut'y tasting filling. My husband ordered the Jasmine Spare Ribs for his entree. He RAVED about the sauce, sweet and sticky brown-sugary YUM. The spare ribs themselves were juicy and meaty, but not huge. I ordered the tangerine crispy bean curd. Now that portion was HUGE, a full large plate with a pile of big pieces of crispy tofu coated in another delicious sticky and sweet sauce. The flavors were on point, but the tofu was a bit too crispy, and was hard to cut with the butter knife at the table. One shortcoming of both dishes too was they were served as just the protein, no veggies at all. My tofu dish was huge, and would still be an ample portion of tofu if it was cut by a third and served with some steamed broccoli. But overall we were still pleased with our orders, and intrigued by other menu options. As a vegetarian, I saw several other veggie dishes I'd like to try, like the spicy noodles in peanut sauce. And my husband would go back again to try other meat dishes, or even to get the Jasmine spare ribs again for that delicious sauce. The scenery is beautiful, the dining room is comfortable, the service was kind and attentive, and we were generally happy with our meal at Ming Teh, definitely enough to look forward to doing it again the next time we're in Fort Erie. Thanks for the great dinner! read more

I am beyond impressed with this food. I came here for dinner. The place was pretty packed, our server told us it would probably be a while for our food. We did not have to wait long at all. We ordered a spicy crunchy sesame ginger chicken and chewy beef strips. If you go here order these things and you'll be so happy you did. The menu doesn't have any photos but it doesn't need any because the food looks and tastes exactly like you're expecting it too. It was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this place. read more

Ming Teh - Chinese Near Me - Fort Erie, Ontario

Wow! The best Chinese food in Buffalo is actually right over the border in Fort Erie!!! It's literally 5 minutes across the border, and so close! The worst part, of course, is the traffic at the border... But if you can get over it (literally), it is definitely worth it! While we parked on the street, we did notice a parking lot behind the restaurant (afterwards). Upon walking, I noticed how EMPTY it was in there! At this time, it's around 7:30pm Wednesday evening. We were seated immediately, and brought to a room towards the back, where 2 other sets of patrons were seated. While we were seated, we heard the waitress mention that this night was the slowest night of the whole summer as it's normally super packed, so I guess we accidentally came on a "good night". We ordered wonton soup, kang po chicken, and beef with green onions. The wonton soup is NOTHING like what I've had in the States! It was so good and so flavorful, I was really surprised that I've never had wonton soup THIS GOOD before!! The other 2 dishes were also spectacular and very good. Overall, 5 out of 5 stars, as the food was amazing! read more

Delicious and well prepared. Very traditional. Service was excellent. Will definitely recommend.

Without a doubt The Best Chinese food restaurant in Ontario!! Been coming here since 1989 and the food and service is always exceptional!! It truly spoiled me for all other Chinese places. Simply no comparison!! Suzette Wilson read more

Ming Teh on a winter night: the lights of the Peace Bridge twinkle in the darkness of the Niagara River out the window. All around you are surrounded wood and evocative art, giving you the feeling of being in the sumptuous captain's quarters of a ship drifting down the waterway. Your body warms with tea, and dumplings leaven your spirits. But you aren't prepared for the main courses: some are like nothing you've ever tasted before. You're especially intrigued by the escargot blended with slightly spicy noodles and the wontons that elicit an aftertaste of rosemary or thyme (the famous "fragrant clouds" that do somehow manage to taste fragrant). Some will tell you it is not what it once was. But Ming Teh remains unlike any other Chinese restaurant in the world. read more

I have heard about this place for years and have friends that drive from buffalo over the bridge for take out quite frequently. They love it. I finally stopped in for take out and while I know people are there for the food not the decor, I have to say the atmosphere almost made me lose my appetite a bit- and here's why- you know that great aunt who is a mild hoarder who has phone books from 1985 and magazines stacked up that are 15 years old? Maybe a plant or two with dust so thick they look light green or piles of papers and notebooks that haven't been touched in years so the paper is brittle? Throw in cobwebs and you've got the image down pat. Mentally I know it does great business so the food obviously turns over fast but somebody needs to go in there and deep clean and beat the rugs. It made me feel a little "ick". Our food was good but my husband and I agreed that wegmans Chinese is actually just as good and a half the price and effort. read more

I don't know how or why I've never written a review about this place. I used to see the former owner of this place at work and he was the sweetest man. That made me want to try out his restaurant, which did not disappoint with food or the atmosphere with his water color paintings. It has since changed hands, but the quality of their food has not changed one bit! I work in Fort Erie and order take out lunch from here regularly. A good go to dish is the #40, the spicy crunchy sesame ginger chicken. The small bites of chicken are exactly as described, crunchy, flavorful and spiced to your liking. They are always very careful to ask how spicy you'd like your dishes. I'm a hot spice girl, so I get everything including my chicken fried rice spicy. If you choose to do this be sure to say it's #144, not the hot and sour rice that they offer. I think you either love hot and sour or don't. Anyhow, my latest OBSESSION here is #123, the vegetable spicy noodles. These are very thin noodles stir fried in a delicious sauce with vegetables such as broccoli, onion, carrot and green beans! I'm normally quite the carnivore, but the spice of this sauce and the delicate noodles have made this one my new go to order at lunch time. I will try to post a photo next time I order if I can remember not to devour this dish immediately. read more

Happy Jacks does not make us happy. Ming Teh is our happy place. We've gotten to the point where we know what we're getting before we get there. Two 1.5 liters of wine for our table over the couple of hours we'll bogart the table? Yep! Soup (cabbage for me, sake for my husband, wonton for most others?) Yes. Fried dumplings? Yes. Shrimp toast when we remember to call ahead? ABSOLUTELY yes (we found out about this at their Chinese New Years event and it is seriously delicious). Dry fried beef? Yes. Fragrant clouds? Yes. Spicy crunch sesame ginger chicken? Yes. Some stupid vegetable that tastes good but we get a veg just to appease my husband? Yes. We're forcing ourselves to slowly branch out to other dishes but it's so hard when you found the perfect meal? 10/10. I love this place. Also the lady that runs it (/I think owns it) is super nice even though she's only slowly telling us what's in fragrant clouds (we're onto you!) read more

This is not your average deep fried chicken ball joint. Come to enjoy truly authentic and fresh Chinese and Szechuan specialties with NO MSG! This place has been around for 41 years for a reason! You might even see Robert Redford! read more

Amazing Chinese restaurant right over the border from Buffalo. If you have a Nexus pass, great, use it and go to Ming Teh for dinner sometime in Fort Erie. This place really puts out amazing dishes, piping hot, and fast! The staff is friendly and you cannot go wrong with any entree. Tonight we enjoyed spring rolls with 2 choices for sauce, plum or spicy mustard. I tried both and I loved both. The wonton soup was flavorful and so hot! My husband had the moo she pork and he mercifully shared one prepared by the staff with me. I've never had one and it was amazing. We also had the chicken mushroom and broccoli dish and the Chicken fried rice. We took our leftovers to go for us to enjoy tomorrow. This place never ever disappoints for dining in. Especially with the water view of the Niagara River. We have gotten take out here before, yes we have gone over the boarder with Nexus passes in hand for take out from here, and it's not as great as an experience as dining in. Enjoy! read more

I am still currently sitting at my table at Ming Teh as I write this review. I just finished eating my spicy, crunch, ginger sesame chicken, my white rice, and my chewy beef strips (I'm pretty sure I'm missing a word, but whatever). I can honestly say that this was the best Chinese food I've had in both New York and Ontario, hands down. The beef strips are exactly as they were described on the menu. The are chewy, covered in some amazing sauce, and a little crunch at the same time. The chicken is tender, lathered in sesame and garlic sauce, and probably some of the best Chinese chicken I've ever had in my life. The rice is white rice, but dang it, it was really good as well. This place is a pretty good size but very busy on this Saturday night. I highly recommend anyone in the area come give this place a shot. It's worth the drive from St. Catharine and definitely worth the drive from Buffalo over the bridge, come get full! read more

Ming Teh is the epitome of Chinese cuisine in the general Fort Erie, Crystal Beach, and Buffalo area. It's flavors are authentic, yet original; every dish we ordered was prepared perfectly and they even extended us the courtesy of providing a famous dish from Mainland China that we had specially requested, and let me tell you, it tasted just as good as it did in Shanghai. I would consider this my hands down first choice for chinese food whenever I am craving it. I am very picky about my restaurants, and I have to say, it is simply the best. Problem is, once you have had the best, you can't settle for anything less. ,!! "Thank you, my Canadian friend! See you next time!" read more

Absolute gem! Like so many other reviews - it's is the best Chinese I've had. This is scratch cooking at its best; their handmade dumplings have ruined all other dumplings for me forever. Gorgeous original artwork by one of the owners is not to be missed. Back room gets cold in winter but river views are worth it so wear something warm. read more

I always enjoy a trip over the border to Canada for some Chinese food. On this trip, I noticed that everyone else did too when I saw the license plates in the back parking lot! The food at Ming Teh was yummy. I went with some fried dumplings and wonton soup. I was really in the mood for some delicious dumplings so that's why we made the trip over. I think I was just disappointed in the dumpling choices. I believe there were only two. I think they're made fresh so I just wish that they could offer more options. I'd order them all! Service was great here. We went in the afternoon on a Saturday so it was pretty empty when we got there. Our waitress was pretty attentive. read more

Decent neighborhood Chinese restaurant, with a great view right on to the river and across to Buffalo. But it's not the destination site it's made out to be. Tried some of the dishes recommended here, and that may have been a mistake. The won tons in the soup were heavy and doughy, not at all appetizing, though the broth was quite good. Crunchy dry fried beef strips were all crunchy and dry-fried and very little beef, and what there was was tough and tasteless. Almost inedible. A shrimp and chicken stirfry dish was merely OK, except for the fact that it contained the kind of canned peas and carrots that you don't expect to see anywhere higher than greasy spoon level. read more

The best Chinese food outside of NYC or Toronto! The food is cooked to order, so come to dine. Call 24 hours ahead for their special dishes : Peking Duck or Spring Chicken. If you want brown rice, call an hour before your reservation. Yes, you need a reservation or be prepared for a very lengthy wait unless you dine at 3 p.m.. Vegetarians can enjoy vegetarian hot and sour soup, vegetable dumplings, and a wonderful list of fresh, cooked vegetable dishes like broccoli with cashews and almonds along with many other options. The seafood options range from whole fish, escargot with pork and mushrooms (pork can be omitted for non-meat eaters), to lots of shrimp options. If you love Asian flavors and fresh cooked food, you'll love eating here. Request a table with a river view for an incredible view! read more

This is my absolute favorite Chinese restaurant (and I'm from Toronto where the selection is huge). The level of detail with depth of flavor, authenticity, friendly service and the view of the water from the big bay windows creates a whole experience. Everytime I'm in Niagara, I make a point to stop here for lunch, as I've never been disappointed by anything on the menu. Best thing is they give you rice if you order a meat dish...no getting charged separately for it!! read more
