How quickly they have fallen. Ming Ying is in my short rotation for ordering Chinese food. It being a Tuesday, I tilted to them. I have eaten here for years. The Shrimp Won Ton soup is excellent. Love the thin won tons. Last night we ordered Chicken with Bok Choy and Shrimp with Lobster Sauce. The Chicken order had the rice inserted into the plastic food container. Not only did the rick take up half the container, but all of the sauce drained into the rice. AWFUL!!!!! You put the rice into a separate container. ALWAYS! And I was charged full price for half a dish. My wife's Lobster Sauce was watery. Just pisspoor execution on that dish. It may have even had some wine in it. But watery as hell. You've lost a customer. King Chef across the street will be our choice on Tuesday's from now on when Eastern Empire is closed. read more

Quick delivery and food tastes good pepper steak and General sauce chicken taste awesome

I only order from Ming Ying Chinese love their food! Their delivery is always fast & friendly guys!!

Got takeout here on a Saturday night. When we walked in to place our order, the place was busy. They had a ton of cooks in the back, and several workers in the front taking orders. We placed our order and they said it would be ready in about 10 minutes. There are a few tables in the place to sit in and eat, but it just seems too busy with orders and people coming in to pick up to enjoy sitting inside. Our order was ready within the 10 minutes. We ordered General Tso's Chicken and an order of steamed shrimp dumplings. The order came to around $30. You get a generous amount of chicken for the General Tso's. It took us about 10 minutes to get to where we were eating. The coating lost a little bit of its crispness, but the overall flavor was very good. The steamed shrimp dumplings were so so good. The sauce to dip them in...mmmm mmmm good. The shrimp was good and not fishy at all (I have been having bad luck lately with having shrimp out and it being too "fishy". The food was solid. This place has been around for years. They know how to do Chinese food right. Will be back. read more

I live in Asbury and have been looking for a good, hell even decent, Chinese place to no avail. Until today! Everyone said it would take at least an hour. If it's as god as ever Ken says I don't mind the wait. Especially coming from Long Branch. It was here in 35 mins and steaming hot!! I ordered the mango chicken and boneless ribs. Both are delicious. I did ask to make it spicy and there is hardly any spice at all but now I know next time to order xx spicy. Chicken is tender and the mangos are sliced thin and freshly cut. Peppers and veggies are nice and crisp. Ribs actually look like they were fresh cut off the bone. Nom. Nom. Nom. Everything is perfect and I could not be happier!! I even received a free egg roll. Finally found my Chinese place!! read more

The food lacked much flavor and bothe the enrolls and crab Rangoon were wrapped in too many wonton wrappers (making them very dry and chewy). We ordered a pint of pork fried rice, a pint of beef lo mein, crab rangoon, egg rolls, and the plain chicken with mixed veggies and brown rice (which does come with a sauce on the side, so we tried the curry sauce). I will say it was a nice option to get a sauce on the side that isn't made with cornstarch, and the curry sauce was pretty good....but watered down once added to the very flat chicken and over cooked veggies soaked in the water the were cooked it. The lo mein was pretty good too, and the rice was well cooked....but just those few items we go cost $80 and the portions were not large at all! We probably wouldn't go back. read more

Will NEVER order here again... the chicken and broccoli is horrible! The chicken is rubbery undercooked with Lots of oil and NO flavor. Waste of money!!! Yuck read more

The food is not fresh. The wings and wonts is too fried an smashed. The rice is not fresh and to dark...we can see that's leftover. Horrible taste. read more

I've been coming to Ming Ying's for more than 20 years. The prices have changed, but like so many others since the pandemic set us back. The quality and quantity has not changed. My wife sometimes bring home food from other restaurants, but they don't compare in taste smell or presentation. I will give them 5+ stars every time. EDM 20 Samp read more

Surprised to see negative reviews The roast duck noodle soup has consistently been amazing. Great packaging for delivery and great flavor. Shrimp dumplings were also pretty fantastic. Can't complain and looking forward to trying more dishes from their rather large menu read more

There was a legit dead fly in my chicken and broccoli...... repulsed. Would give 0 stars if I could read more

It's been a while since I've had really great chinese food. First time ordering from Ming Ying and will definitely order again. Not only was the food delicious and didn't leave me feeling like a bloated piece of trash, but the customer service was fantastic. I accidentally ordered the wrong item and when I called, they delivered the item I meant to order immediately. Awesome place. read more

Ming Ying Chinese Restaurant - Lo Mein 47. Vegetable Chow Mein H22. Dragon and Phoenix 19. Szechuan Spicy Hot Wonton - Chinese Near Me - Long Branch, New Jersey

Very disappointed in the food during this difficult time. Ordered roast pork fried rice, Kung po shrimp and Szechuan beef. All were not good. The roast pork rice was dry and had no flavor. Kung po was also not tasty and they forgot the peanuts. Shrimp was fine. The beef was also not tasty. They ran out of white meat chicken and pork dumplings. The place has gone down hill. Or they are compromising quality with overload orders. It use to be the best take out around. I won't go there again. read more

Thank you Ming Ying!! We had an excellent experience with you late on a Saturday evening!! After our group had been canceled twice on the delivery apps! We decided to go with one of our favorites!! Ming Ying for the win! I always find the food to be fresh, of good quality, and excellent flavor!! The delivery driver is one of my favorites!! As someone who chooses not to go out to dinner due to covid, I miss funny interactions with service workers!! Your driver is a gem! When I answer the phone Hellloooo, he responds Helloooo my friend!! It is the little things that count! I appreciate it very much!! And for anyone giving a negative review during covid you're an absolute looooser!!! I have order Ming Ying 2/3 times so far and have not been disappointed yet! Thank you so much!! read more

Ming Ying Chinese Restaurant - 18. Crab Rangoon, H4. Crispy Honey Chicken, Singapore Noodle, 31. Steamed Pork Dumplings and so much sushi! - Chinese Near Me - Long Branch, New Jersey

"American Chinese takeout place with a quiet but friendly vibe" sums up Ming Ying. Stopped here for lunch on a weekday. Ordered the Chicken with Garlic Sauce, Pork Fried Rice, Hot and Sour Soup. (I think I was supposed to get an egg roll but not sure if they forgot.) The combo deal came to little over $10. If you decide to eat in rather than takeout, they serve your food in nice plates and bowls like you are in a restaurant. The Hot and Sour soup was very hearty -chock full of tender chicken, tofu, bamboo shoots, mushrooms. The soup base has a good flavor but is definitely healthier tasting, meaning lower on salt and vinegar. I prefer this recipe, but I can see how it would seem "bland" to others. The Chicken with Garlic Sauce was also tasty. It seemed to be a healthier recipe, meaning lower salt and lower sugar. The Pork Fried Rice was nicely light and fluffy. read more

Definitely a go-to in the area for to-go/delivery chinese! General Tso here is really good as is their fried rice.

Average Chinese food, they used to be much better. I prefer king chef which is a higher quality food. I hope they turn it around because the owners are very nice people. Parkin is usually available outside. Quick delivery and drivers are professional. read more

Food is fine but the delivery driver gave us the wrong order and we had opened it up and started eating some before realizing. But we called to get our actual order and when the new driver came with the correct order he started getting angry with us and asking for the original(wrong) order back, even though it was half eaten and had been opened. He tried to get us to pay back even though that order was 3x the price. He took back our half eaten food and opened container and kept looking at the receipt. It appeared as though he was going to give this food to another customer. With COVID-19 happening right now that is completely unsanitary and we don't know what else they are doing like this behind the scenes... read more

I have tried Chinese take out in my area but i have never found one that I truly enjoyed. Well I finally found one that was worth a review. While I hated paying for an outrageous sum for delivery the food made up for it. I had the shrimp wonton soup which was flavorful and tasty. Next I had the spicy wonton and for once they actually were spicy the way I like them. My entree was chicken Beijing and while tasty I wish they made it as spicy as the spicy wonton dish. I made the request it all they did was give me a few packs of hot sauce. I hate they do not incorporate the spice in the dish itself. Overall I would order from them again. read more

Okay, I am not big on American Chinese food and Ming Ying is one of those places, but I have to give them the five stars. Monmouth University student take out vocab: Nelly's and Ming Ying. Enough said! The first time I ever ordered take out at MU was Ming Ying...and it was also my last ever delivery before I graduated. I always order the chicken and broccoli with white rice and a wonton soup (sometimes an egg roll..depends on my mood) and it is just enough for delivery. When I was on campus they were always quick and when I moved off they were the same! At first the people picking up the phone didn't have quite good English, but as the years progressed they realized their weakness and hired locals to pick up the phone. Can't complain there. Bottom Line: If you're a Monmouth student you won't get a better bang for your buck than Ming Ying when it comes to cheap/good/quick/Chinese take out in the area. Peking and all the other places don't even compare. I remember one time I ordered delivery in the blistering snow and they still delivered! It was quick too! The owner is very nice and if he knows you're an MU student when you go in for pick up he may give you a free soda. However, if you're asian you are almost guaranteed a free soda haha. Highly recommend! read more

This is probably going to be among the few 5* reviews that I write. Because I wont give out many. Ming Ying owned by Jonny, who is always manning the helm inside the joint, will greet and welcome his guests, not only because he is happy to have business walk through the door, just he's a genuinely good guy. The other Chinese food places in NJ don't hold a candle to what Jonny does here in Ming Ying. His recipes are the best in the industry, and his team creates their dishes with their heart and soul. If you have ever tried to cook something in the kitchen before and ruined a dish? -well that is because you either sucked or did not cook it with love. The chefs at Ming Ying deliver excellent food that is cooked with love and attention to detail because they care about their craft. I would also like to say that the chicken wings are 5* as well, they beat out all other chicken wings in the NJ area. read more

I love love Ming ying. Frequently ordered from them in college. Friendly and fast. Super delicious. Not too greasy yet still tasty. We want to go all the time now but we love in Los Angeles now :( read more

I think in general, this place is a little overrated. For the most part they are just putting out the same Chinese American stuff as the others. With their regular dishes, I haven't ever really felt like they're putting out a superior product compared to the others in our area. However, they do have a secret weapon on their menu that brings me back time and again. Shrimp Wontons / Dumplings. No one else in our area has anything like this, and it's absolutely delicious. Try the soup if you haven't. Couple that with unique options like their noodle soups and this place holds a firm spot on the American Chinese rotation. read more

Consistantly awful and sub-standard quality. Past few orders placed were also overcharged and we've not received all paid items ordered. Giving 2 stars is generous, giving them a plus one for having been a repeat customer and that they are open and deliver later than most. I cannot recommend them to anyone unfortunately. read more

So, I'm going to start by prefacing that I only gave one star because zero was not an option. To say that I was disappointed in this experience is to say that World War II was a squabble. There is no reason whatsoever that it should take 2 hours to deliver food from anywhere, much less somewhere down the road, and the food was bland and cold when it arrived. The customer service was the worst I have ever experienced. The manager hung up on me several times, stopped answering my calls when he recognized my out of state area code, and told me straight up that he didn't care what I thought. The driver then attempted to take the food away from us, only stopping following us when I threatened to call the police for harassment. I would recommend eating the sand from the beach rather than food from this establishment. Don't waste your time, you'll get sick from it anyway. read more

Food took almost an hour and half to be delivered. When i called after 50 min i was told the driver left 10 minutes ago and she hung up. I live 15 min away. After another 30 min my food arrived. When i answered the door the deliver driver was a little sketchy and says "did you order food?" I said yes. He hands me the food and just stands there. I paid with a CC so i asked is there a receipt to sign? He said nothing to sign. And then proceeds to say "no tip for delivery?" I actually had cash to tip the driver which i would have handed him after signing the receipt but everything i just closed and locked my door. The food was very cold and i had to reheat. Will not be ordering from this establishment again. read more

Its ok. Its nothing to give 5 star over. It is very acceptable take out Chinese. Hot and sour is not really that hot, but neither is most of their dishes even if you ask for extra spicy. The Egg Foo Young and the BBQ Boneless spare ribs were the highlights for me. There is better Chinese around for a bit less money and there is definitely better Chinese in the tri state area. Its not in the greatest location, and the service was just adequate. read more

Just bad food. Tasted bad. Too much sauce. Very oily. Taste was overall just bad. I felt sick afterwards and couldn't continue my Thursday night drinks. Yuck! I would give it a 1.5/10 if I could! read more

Upon very good recommendations we were in the area last night and tried dinner at MING YING Chinese Pan Asian Restaurant 80 Montgomery Ave Long Branch NJ.. this tiny take out restaurant with only 2 tables has the best food Chinese / Pan Asian food I have had in a very long time....what sets them out above the rest is that they only use fresh vegetables & products cooked to order. I ordered the Shrimp Dumpling Soup which was to die for ..definitely the best dumplings I have ever had and the portions are huge, My wife had the Chicken Corn soup OMG it was delicious loaded with sweet corn & fresh garlic YUM! Volcano beef w/onion in Black Pepper sauce , crispy Fish in garlic Sauce .....the menu is extensive and way beyond the normal take out place.....check it out soon you wont be sorry....this place is the "REAL DEAL" ***** enjoy read more

This is my go to Asian cuisine take out place in the Monmouth Beach area. Food is always great and the place is very clean. From time to time, the kids and I eat there. Only a few tables so it is hit or miss. Excellent value. The only knock is that the crispy chicken dishes do not travel well. But that is not Mings fault. read more

We stopped here for some take out Chinese. Delicious chicken dumpling soup and really good mixed vegetables. Good quality food for the price. To avoid: The beef chow mein tasted funny and the spring rolls had a weird texture. We also got the steamed pork dumplings (nothing special, but their dipping sauce is sweet and tasty). read more
