    One of the best Cantonese barbecue spots I've ever eaten at. Located in Chinatown this place is legit! I came here for dinner for 9 people and had the most tastiest and delicious food ever. The roasted duck was on point, and the juices on that plate can be poured over your bowl of rice. Try it out! The deep-fried fish and lobster were my type of seafood. Don't forget to get the clams with black bean sauce as well. Portion-wise I haven't seen it big like this in Los Angeles for decades. It had the flavor of a great chef working here for dinner time and overall the food is super tasty. Everyone enjoyed this place and overall we will have this as a great memory. The service was kind and the staff here was nice. So if you are looking for some good Cantonese-style food this is the one. You won't be disappointed!

    Great place for large groups and the dishes were huge. Cash and credit have different price so be aware. The food came out fast and it was good. We all enjoyed everything and the service.

    Three choice of meat over rice
    Chih C.

    One of my go-to spots for a quick Chinese meal at a fair price. Decent service and exactly the kind of comfort food I crave. When I dine solo, I usually order the "three meats over rice." Yes, I'm a carnivore I went with roasted duck, roasted pork, and boiled chicken. The roasted duck and pork were solid -- flavorful, juicy, and nicely cut. The boiled chicken, however, wasn't great on its own, but the ginger-scallion sauce definitely saved it and helped balance out the less impressive cuts. Service here is actually better than many Cantonese spots I've tried in Chinatown -- efficient and straightforward. One thing to note: there's a price difference depending on how you pay. The dish is $13.50 if you pay cash, but $14.68 with a credit card (about 8.7% more). Not sure why the gap is that high, so I'd recommend paying cash if you can. Overall, a solid neighborhood restaurant. Simple, satisfying, and somewhere I'll definitely return to.

    Bean curd with mixed vegetables
    Meredith R.

    With scores of restaurants in Chinatown, we were on a mission to try some place new. Without recommendation, we walked on Pell and Mott Streets basing our decision on two criteria: 1) a diverse menu 2) popularity; on a busy Saturday at lunchtime, are there people inside? Ming Wong fit the bill. Did we like it? Yes. Would we go out of our way to return? Probably not. (Though if we do, I'd get something grilled which I read after the fact, is their forte.) To be fair, I'm basing my assessment on only two dishes. (The menu, btw, is pretty extensive.) General's Chicken is described as having broccoli, peppers and onion in a spicy sauce. I thought it would be more vegetabl-y. Other than broccoli, there was a negligible amount of peppers and onions, plus some of the chicken was fatty. Bean curd with mixed vegetables made up for it. Prepared al dente in a lovely light sauce, it's an A-1 dish. Note that steamed rice costs extra. (I'm noticing that this seems to be the norm these days.) Unlike many restaurants in the area, Ming Wong accepts credit cards. The menu lists both cash and credit prices. Also worth mentioning, the staff here is particularly friendly!

    Roast duck and roast pig
    Angela L.

    I was originally going to go to my usual place for BBQ meats but the line was crazy long. And from what I remembered that place wasn't even great. So I stopped by this place which I had vague memories of it being good. Honestly, I don't know why this place doesn't have a line. I had to travel back to Queens with my roast duck and crispy roast pig. When I got home the skin of the pig was still crispy. It was definitely fatter than I would like it but still the meat was juicy, tender and flavorful. It's everything you want in a roast pig. The duck was equally as good and this one had plenty of meat. Sometimes you get a duck that's all skin and bones. I was very satisfied with my two BBQ meats. The restaurant wasn't empty but it's fairly large and can accommodate plenty of people. So all those people waiting on those long lines at other places are missing out on good food.

    Fried cruller and cha siu rice crepe
    Kevin E.

    Cleaner, better ambience and friendlier service compared to Big Wong. Food arrived very quickly after we ordered! Liked: Beef, squid, pork combination congee- The congee had the perfect pillowy texture and the meat/seafood added amazing flavors to the congee! Fried cruller- Very crispy! Not too greasy Ok: Roast pork rice crepe- The rice rolls here are of the mushy variety so if you prefer ones that are firmer, you will be disappointed like I was Fried cruller rice crepe- They were cut too thin and this affected the texture/crispiness of the dish 3 combination meat over rice- Cha siu was a bit dry but I liked the roast pig and roast duck. Rice tasted like it had been left in the cooker a bit too long Prices are amazing. We got all this food and left completely stuffed for less than $40 for a party of 3! The menu is fairly comprehensive so of course some of the dishes will be a hit or miss. I wouldn't say the food is amazing but it's decent and definitely hits the spot when you want something homey. 3.5 stars but rounding up for the very friendly server!

    Been a customer of Big Wong for over 40+ years but after eating at Ming Wong, I enjoy the atmosphere more and I love the food too. Been a loyal customer for years and they never disappoint. My regular is beef chow fun and the Singapore rice noodles. The wok hay in the beef chow fun makes it taste even better than other places. The way the curry is mixed evenly in the Singapore rice noodles is hard to find. Other places I would eat this dish, there usually a clump of uncooked curry and once biting into that, it just ruins the meal. I never had that happen at Ming Wong. I have eaten other dishes like the wonton noodle soup, bbq meats over rice, the scrambled egg with beef, beef and peas over rice and many others and I know I will enjoy my meal each time. The staff is great and friendly. Love the cashier gentleman, he is great and super friendly.

    Duck Broccoli and Chicken with Rice Dish
    Bubu N.

    Came here because Bo Ky (across the street) was closed and their page doesn't state they are closed on Tuesdays. This place however did not disappoint in my opinion. it's very homey, and the workers give me a very Asian caring aura. Extremely welcoming. I got the porridge with pork and thousand year egg. 5/5 Generous portion and only 7 dollars. My bf got the duck rice combo and he gave it a 3/5. It's a solid meal if you're looking for something quick and easy.

    Peking duck half order
    Sonia N.

    Our family of 4 stopped by for lunch on a Sunday and found it easy to get seated right away with no wait. Based on the overall high ratings for their rotisserie menu, we were excited to put in a half order of peking duck. It was tasty and came accompanied with the usual setup of baos, hoisin sauce and scallions. The consensus for our party was that it was tasty but the portion size was by far one of the tiniest we have ever seen, especially for the $30 price tag (reference photo). While yummy, we agreed we would likely opt for the regular roast duck if we dined here again. Other dishes we tried were the Salted fish & chicken with eggplant from the Special Clay Pot section as well as Jumbo Shrimp with Walnuts. While both dishes were seasoned well, the chicken and eggplant dish didn't come with any rice, which was odd to us since in our mind, a clay pot should come with some on the bottom of the pot. We ordered a quick side of white rice to make this dish complete. The shrimp in the second dish was very fresh but the mayo wasn't mixed well so the presentation suffered a little (see pic). All in all, average in terms of food and service but the food can easily be raised to a solid 4 stars if they fixed a couple of kinks.

    Ming Wong is a well-known spot for Cantonese-style food, famous for its fresh-butchered meats alongside other classic dishes. It's the kind of place you go for a straightforward, satisfying meal centered around really good roasted and barbecued meats. We ordered a rice combo plate and also got some of their butchered meat by the pound to try a few things. We went for the Siu yuk (crispy roasted pork belly), the Cha siu (barbecued pork), and the Pai Kuat (pork ribs). The siu yuk was quite good, the skin had a little crisp to it and the flavor was solid. Some pieces had a decent layer of fat, which is pretty standard for this dish and it wasn't bothersome at all. The cha siu had a nice, sweet glaze on it with a good savory flavor, and the pork ribs were meaty and not just bones. The whole thing felt like good value for the price. The portions were generous, and it was a quick and easy order, whether you're grabbing it to go or eating there. It's a reliable choice when you're craving that specific style of Cantonese roasted meats done right, without any fuss.

    One of the many restaurants where you can get a big meal for a steal. Since it has such a large menu, it can be hard to pick. However, being born and raised in Chinatown, this place easily has some of the best roasted meats in Chinatown. And it's not just that- the chef cutting your meats plays a huge role in whether the roast meats will be amazing or if they will just be okay. My go to: bbq pork (char siu), roast duck and roasted pork (crispy skin) over a bed of rice with veggies and some ginger scallion sauce. This combo will tuck you right into bed

    Bean curd with mixed vegetable
    Marthin M.

    The duck was really good although it was a bit small for half the size and how pricey it was, we could've found a cheaper and better spot but we were hungry. The bean curd with mixed vegetables was decent and didn't have an overpowering msg taste. The size and ambiance of the restaurant was decent and given that they were pretty busy, the food came at a good time.

    Young chow fried rice had great wok hey and hit the spot with its medley of peas, ham, egg, etc. Hours are now extended to 11 pm.

Got off the E train and when we looked for Chinese food, this place popped up with good reviews and it was just a short walk from where we got off the train. My buddies ordered the special lunches and we also got two types of xlb's, beef chow fun, and some fried dumplings. The special lunches come with a little fried rice, cold garlic flavored noodle, choice of egg drop or hot and sour soup, and main side. My buddies all enjoyed their meals. The beef chow fun was also really good and beef was nice and tender. The xiao long baos were excellent and is comparable to any place in California like DTF. Nice and juicy and great with some ginger, soy sauce, and spicy chili. Friendly service and food comes out pretty quickly. Credit card is accepted. Bathroom was also very clean, which is sometimes rare in some Chinese restaurants I have been to. If you're looking for a good Chinese meal, stop here when you're in the Chelsea area.

My friend had the chicken dumplings. He said they were okay. I thought they were overcooked. My steamed shrimp shumai were fine, but steamed, they didn't have much flavour. The edamame, on the other hand, had way too much when it should have almost none. I don't know if it was excess salt, MSG or something else, but not good. I should have sent them back. I hope this was just an off night for the kitchen.

The pacing of the meal for the quantity of food received seemed very rushed, and we didn't really have a chance to relax and enjoy any of the courses. However, the quality of the experience was a complete disaster particularly for the price. Clearly, the packed restaurant would disagree, but for the four of us anyway, we would not return. It started with the check in process at what felt like a long hotel front desk with multiple, self important hosts and hostesses overseeing your entrance to the cavernous bar/waiting area. One problem is the noise is so deafening that you can't really hear what they say to you but we check in a few minutes early and waited obediently in the bar area chatting. After about 30 minutes (15 after our reservation time), and watching numerous parties large and small who arrived after us be seated by the hostesses wandering through the dimly lit space who peer quizzically and ask your name, my husband went to ask for an update. (We joked that those vibrating lighted buzzers alerting when your table was ready would have been super helpful, but it was amusing to watch while we waited). It was clear they somehow lost track of us as she had him repeatedly spell our (not unusual) name. Anyway, after that, within 10 minutes after that we were taken downstairs to our seats (but not before standing awkwardly in the large dining area near packed tables waiting while our table was cleaned). Server with a heavy accent was kind and mostly helpful so none of this is on him. The busser who managed to spill half a pitcher of cold water on my husband's back, soaking his shirt and jacket and barely apologizing, is a whole other story. We managed to get a glass of his mediocre Cabernet comped for the experience. If I sound annoyed, I guess I still am. I had high hopes for a fun and tasty experience in a cool part of the city and it just wasn't.
