Food was good, had egg drop soup, egg roll, spring roll, boneless spare ribs, steamed dumplings, roast pork fried rice, roast pork fried rice, sweet and sour shrimps. only problem was that it wasn't very hot. Will try it again read more

We ordered delivery Lastnight and it was pretty good. I had the shrimp with broccoli and my daughter had the teriyaki chicken skewers and fried rice. Egg roll was nice and crispy and so were the crispy noodles for the wonton soup. The wonton soup was also very good. read more

Ming Yao - Chinese Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

See all

Best Chinese take-out in the South Wilmington area in my opinion! The food is incredible, the service is quick and accurate and the prices are incredibly reasonable. read more

Ming Yao has the best Chinese take-out in town, hands down! You won't be disappointed

It's really hard to find good Chinese food around here but I have to say, Ming Yao is very good!I got General Tso's Chicken combination. The egg roll was great, the chicken was cooked perfectly and it came with actual fried rice not yellow rice like most places here. I also got boneless spare ribs, they were very unique. It was actually chunks instead of the tough, fatty pieces most places serve, it was excellent! This will be my go to place for sure! read more

We just tried this for take out today and I thought the food lacking flavor. The chicken fried rice was bland. The Mongolian beef had more onion and veggies than beef. The chicken with vegetables was just ok. I don't think we will order from here again only because we like a little more flavor. We gave it a try! read more

This is our favorite Chinese food restaurant in Wilmington! We always have fantastic service with fantastic food. The portions are very large for a fair price. Love them read more

Best Chinese on Doordash/Grubhub for delivery hands down! The veggie fried rice is amazing! We added egg but it would still have been good without it. Had the Generals Chicken, MooShoo Chicken, Mongolian Beef, Rangoons and Potstickers and Egg Rolls and we were very happy. We are super picky too. Can't go wrong if you try any of those items. read more

I just moved here cross country like 2 months ago. This is the only place that gives me the comfort of being home. Everything is great! Chicken wings and Egg Foo Young specifically. I've only ordered through door dash, give them a try! read more

Cute clean dining room and excellent fresh food prepared quickly with quality ingredients. Service excellent and everyone friendly.

Delicious unassuming spot in Monkey Junction. The Kung Pao chicken is absolutely delicious and my go to dish. They have a ton of options to choose from so you have a dish for everyone. read more

Always get tasty dishes from this restaurant. Love the Singapore Mei Fun, egg foo young and especially the crab Rangoon

Great service and great food! My favorite is the Garlic Shrimp, YUM!! They give the to-go food in nice plastic containers, which is a big help to prevent spills! read more

Sad they can't offer delivery anymore due to COVID/staffing, but, pick up today was seamless. I ordered at 4:56 pm and chose a 5:30 time slot and everything was ready ten minutes early. We tried the beef with broccoli for the first time and it was soo good, sauce was a perfect consistency and flavor was great. Our other faves are their home made egg rolls, wonton soup, chicken with garlic sauce, and roast pork lo mein. Everything was perfect and I am super picky about Chinese food because when it's bad it can be really, really bad. Highly recommend! :) read more

The food was Delicious probably the best chinese food I've had IN wilmington. The dumplings were the best dumplings in the area BY A LOT. The man at the counter was very friendly and seemed to be good with customer service. Egg Rolls were also very delicious, it was so good, I'm willing to drive 30 minutes just to eat here again. Definitely will recommend to friends. read more

Service was great even though you cant eat inside. food was ok not too impressed with it, fresh for sure. i honestly rather have panda but hey i need to try a few more dishes. read more

1000/10 RECOMMEND. First restaurant ever as Wilmington residents, and we were not disappointed in the slightest. Everything we ordered was amazing, like everything. Definitely go there, I'll probably be there to lol read more

Solid go to Chinese. It's where we always wind up calling. Best part is that they know our order. Really, best part is that it's always good food. read more

The food has always been great every time I've had it I haven't had anything I haven't liked. My favorite go to Chinese restaurant read more

Solid fast food Chinese takeout. Ordered a few things for my family, we liked the pork wontons and crab rangoons and the hot and sour soup got good reviews as well. Beef and broccoli and Kung po chicken were good too but the sauces were too thin, didn't really stick to the food. The sesame beef was not bad but not my favorite, the sauce was a bit sweet and reminded me of the red sauce that comes with the crab rangoons, and the dish didn't have sesame flavor. Overall a pretty solid dinner but not awesome, good portion size for the price. I'll be back to try other things. read more

This is decent Chinese food, I feel it's the best in the Monkey Junction area. Service is usually quick and friendly. Mostly standard fare. Will satisfy your yen for Chinese food. read more

I decided to try this place because I heard good things about it. I went in to order and the owners were very nice and the place seemed clean but as soon as I began eating my Shrimp with Mixed vegetables I saw little bugs in the broccoli. I'm sad I spent the money on food that had multiple bugs in it, I just ended up throwing it all out. read more

Ming Yao - Chinese Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

I'm only giving this 2 stars b/c of the nice girl in the front. I ordered the orange chicken and it's all batter. They already looked small in size but it's just batter, hardly any chicken. The egg roll was good tho. read more

First of all the people there are very nice and not rushed. There are a few seats, so I imagine there are a lot of take-outs going on here. The potstickers were very meaty and done right. The skins were good. We had variations on chicken including the honey chicken wings (great sauce), the Szechuan chicken (a little spicy but good), the sweet and sour chicken (standard), and sesame chicken (very good representation of this dish). The combination rice had a bit of a smoky flavor which was good. Again, the staff was wonderful. read more

Tried Ming Yao since my normal place is closed on Sunday. Service was friendly and fast, and the restaurant looked clean. Ordered the General Tso chicken combo. Price was good, egg roll and rice was decent, but the chicken looked and tasted like it was covered in a tomato sauce. read more

The sesame chicken was awful. Fried rice - decent. The food experience would have gotten two stars but no fortune cookie? What?! One star

Tried this place for the first time. Excellent food. Tasted very fresh. We ordered vegetable fried rice, vegetable mei fun and the seafood delight special. (As you can see, we don't eat much meat.) We requested low sodium and were pleased with the flavor. We also requested no "crab meat" in the seafood delight, as we do not like imitation crab meat. We were pleasantly surprised at the amount of shrimp and scallops in the dish. We added hot mustard to everything as we like it a bit spicy. We will definitely order again. Plus, if you spend $15, they deliver locally for free. read more

All the good reviews are correct. This is probably the best quick Chinese place I've eaten at. Food was so fresh and the flavor was like I made it myself. Yum. read more

Clean, fast & friendly. I ordered the kung pao chicken & pork fried rice, i thought both were bland. However my husband got the general tsos chicken & shrimp lo mein and his was amazing!! I will definitely be going back but getting something different next time! read more

Very very good Chinese food. Cheap and delicious! My favorites are the chicken with garlic sauce and the shrimp fried rice. It is very high quality meat and rice. Their spring rolls are fantastic. Not much to say other than they are fast, cheap and delicious!! Highly recommend! read more

Ming Yao - Drink menu - Chinese Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

Simply my family's favorite Chinese Food.. Nothing is modern, it's just a Clean place that is obviously family run and cares for their customers. read more

This is our NEW go to chinese in Wilmington. Hige portions before Covid shut down but they have shrunk after. Understandable but surprising since the service is always great and i expecyed a warbing at least that portions changed to offset losses. This was the first place open after the shutdown also so major poi ts for that as well. Rangoons are excellent, beef broccoli is always perfect and lo mein is a must. read more

Holy shit was I lucky to find this place open at 11:15pm on a Friday Night. I was coming from running Port City's Top Comic in Downtown Wilmington, North Carolina and headed back to stay with a friend in Carolina Beach. Usually the food options at this hour known to me were fast food or Waffle House. I found Ming Yao tucked away near the Lowe's and Walmart in Monkey Junction. They were friendly, fast and mid to low range on price. I got the Mongolian Beef with two egg roles and headed to CB to eat it. 20 minutes later it will still too hot to eat (WIN) and it was pretty good for Chinese. Check them out, especially if drunk. read more

Great food! Got the Roast Pork Egg Foo Young! Soo good! Ordering later too! I'll let you know how tonight's food works out!

Our go-to Chinese take-out place. Super fast, super friendly and they deliver.

If you're looking for fine asian dining, this is not the place to go. If you're are in need of a craptastic hangover fixer then Ming Yao is the place for you! The egg rolls I had were grease-o-licious. The lo mein was of the standard machine made noodle variety, but still satisfying. I got addicted to fresh made noodles, so now all machine made noodles pale in comparison. The sweet and sour pork was a bit of a mystery. Tiny bits of pork covered with a massive amount of fried batter. Not delicious. I don't think I would ever go to Ming Yao willingly unless I was dreadfully hung over, but in that respect Ming Yao serves its purpose admirably. read more

I loved what I got and will definitely go back. The service was fast and friendly too!

Anything you'd come to expect from an American Chinese restaurant. Nice, speedy service with a great flavor and attention to each meal.

Honestly, tired of the severe lack of customer service this place has. We've tried to overlook it for months because the food is good- just good. The girl answering the phone/behind the counter is always incredibly rude. Their business hours change with how they feel that day, we've called numerous times when they were supposed to be open for a few hours still only to be rudely told they aren't taking any more orders. Called at 6:30pm to see what time they would be open until and once again, we're told they would be stopping orders at 7:30 at the earliest. Called at 7pm on the dot, and were rudely told that they were no longer taking orders and wouldn't honor the fact that we had called thirty minutes earlier. Once again, girl on the phone was incredibly nasty and not helpful at all, even began nastily arguing with me when I simply tried to tell her that we had called earlier. Nope, didn't care, no explanation. Do not attempt to eat here, the absurdly rude girl at the front probably won't take your order anyways. I'll happily go to another place from here on out that's even further away for better customer service and food. read more
