Tried one of the big bowls "Big Fan" that is a rice base, mixed veggies, kimchi, chili oil and your choice of a century egg or sunny side up egg. We always have to get bao buns while here and went with the Sloopy and Cubano -- so good!! And lastly we finished the meal with plenty of leftovers and got a strawberry sando to go. The staff are patient and helpful while looking over the menu. Inside has the restaurant and bakery/cafe side with both nicely decorated. read more

Ming's at Midtown - I forgot the name of everything I ordered other than the Dr. pepper. lol. But it was good! - Asian Fusion Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

First timer here and I really didn't know what to expect but it was delicious. I was able to taste an array of food but I ordered the Sweet Potato Noodle Bowl, light spice with pork belly and the Thai Shrimp bun. Both were great. I also tasted the edamame both the regular and the spicy. It needed some salt on the regular and the spicy wasn't spicy at all. I also tasted the mushroom dumplings and the shrimp dumplings and both were tasty. It is counter service but I appreciated that the girls at the front took some of our orders from the table. Also, it did take a bit for them to clean up the table and I didn't see a place to take our dirty plates. I would definitely come back to try more food! read more

Very cute place. Nice outdoor seating area. Ordered the nuac cham rice noodle bowl. Supposed to be a hot dish. It wasn't. Tasted good though. Also ordered the shrimp crispy dumplings. They were delicious. The dipping sauce was terrible. You order at the counter, get a number for your table and get your own drinks. Then the food is brought to your table. We went there thinking it was Chinese food but it's not. It's Vietnamese. Price was a bit high. Disappointed overall. read more

Today's lunch special was the bulgogi rice bowl with drink (no pic) but my belly is full! Their house limeade was just as expected... Lil bit of tart a lot of freshness. Every visit I promised to try something new. Oh! Looks like they've expanded their space. Friendly staff who reminds you about the points earned for spending. Space is clean. And food is amazing! Their instagram MingsThing features both Elmira location and new la cantera spot. Check the out! read more

I ordered some Mings at midtown for the first time and I enjoyed the experience!! The service was attentive and I was able to try some new food. The setting was cool very laid back and has a bar when I went they seemed to be out of a lot of things on the menu. I liked the chicken bun the most it had good flavor and it was a good portion if you order the trio. Overall the food was just an average meal I'd recommend for a hangout dinner or chill night. read more

The employees are always very sweet and welcoming. The ambiance here is very relaxing. I ordered to go this time but I've visited several times and have sat in. The food is amazing! Everything I've ordered thus far is amazing! My favorite is the cubano boa bun. I order at least 3x a month! So good, I'll definitely be returning. read more

Last minute food choice downtown after an event and IG was a total WIN! We got them close to closing, but they were so sweet and super quick to service. The place is a good size and really clean. They have larger and smaller tables depending on your party. They even have the larger tables saying "reserved for large parties". The food is fantastic. So much flavor! And they have gluten free options! We will definitely be back. read more

I always LOVE Ming's for their bao buns. Vibe is always on point. Service is friendly and I love how they opened a connecting cafe that I can't wait to try out. The strawberry and cream and s'mores Sando's are on my list. My all time is the Bulgogi bao bun. I ordered 2 but should have gotten 3. Next fav is the friend shrimp. Can't wait for another excuse to stop in. read more

Cute location. Staff was very welcoming & friendly. I don't care for crispy/fried chicken but got this as recommended by staff and it was really good! Good portion size, enough for me to eat for dinner later. The slaw was good, wish there was more broccoli for some more greens. Nice spot to hit after visiting the farmers market at The Pearl :) read more

Go get yourself a smoked pork belly steam bun! They are outstanding and unbelievably delicious. In fact, make sure you order two as they are that good and you are going to want them. The ingredients are always fresh and the staff is super friendly and helpful. Grab a steamed bun and an order of summer noodles with some chili oil sauce and have yourself a day within the friendly confines of Ming's at Midtown. read more

I walked out of there wishing I could try more. Pork belly for the win. Even my kid is asking to go back.

Ordered take out from this place in the late afternoon. But restaurant looked nice and clean when I walked in. Handful of patrons were dining in but def enough space for large groups. Greeted by hostess as soon as I stepped in. Food was ready to go by the time they said it would be and I was in and out in less than 2 min. My wife got the spicy miso ramen with shrimp. She had to water it down a little because it was too spicy for her but I thought it had a nice kick. It's not your traditional ramen. Had cabbage, broccoli and carrots but she said it was interesting and overall enjoyed it. Shrimp was cooked perfectly with good texture and flavor. I got the coconut curry rice with chicken. Chicken was dark meat which I preferred but a little overcooked. But overall the dish was flavorful and the coconut was not too overpowering. Would prob try some of their other dishes in the future. read more

After a few amazing Tex Mex and Bbq meals, we were ready for something different and Ming's fit the bill. Quiet around 6:30 Tuesday evening but quickly picked up after we were seated. Modern and inviting Decor with a mix of regular and high top tables and ample outdoor seating. Enticing menu and we realized at the end of our meal, we ordered too much. First time seeing a Sakerita so had to try. Their House Dry Sake with Rita mix was the perfect refresher on a very hot day. For starters it was a couple of Baos-Smoked Pork Belly and Chicken Bun with the House cured Pork Belly standing out. The Loaded Bulgogi Fries were indeed loaded and delicious. I'm a big fan of Duck anything-unfortunately the Century Egg wasn't to our liking-possibly the dressing? For entrees, it was Salad Bowl, Lemon Crispy Chicken and Bulgogi Rice Bowl. All were tasty-Crispy Chicken was our favorite. Service was attentive and engaged. It all started in 2011 with Ming's Steamed Buns at a Farmer's Market. They have a second location-La Cantera. Don't miss the Steamed Buns and Sakerita! read more

We started eating here often because my spouse loves it. I have enjoyed some of the food I've had in the past but I stopped going because of a bad piece of pork belly in my bao bun. I decided to return because 1. It's close to my home 2. My spouse loves it and 3. I believe in second chances! I'm glad I did! I totally enjoyed my food. The service is friendly and the place is clean with plenty of seating. We will be back! read more

Ming's at Midtown - Sichuan cold noodles with Thai shrimp...delish and so refreshing! Love the spice! - Asian Fusion Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Saw their location near La Panaderia by Texas Fiesta area but it was still close, it's still early morning. We took note and planned to visit one day. Last Saturday after a walk around Woodlawn Lake Park, we ended up here. Finally!!! And I don't regret a single bit having our lunch here. Love my summer noodle bun and crispy money bag shrimp. We also ordered Thai curry rice noodle soup which is actually shareable since the serving on the huge bowl is more than enough for two persons. Also enjoyed the century egg which was unlike the authentic ones I tried in Chinatown in NYC, this one is way milder but more flavorful for me. It did not triggered me to throw up since it was really good, especially there's a tiny slice of ginger on each sliced portion of the century egg. Ending our enjoyable lunch with the coconut pandas rice pudding brûlée was a great decision. Not overly sweet, subtly flavored with pandan and just simply delish! I'm planning to be visiting again based on my very pleasant first visit. Definitely be visiting their Fiesta Texas vicinity location next time. Ming's is a great alternative to high-end and also fast-food style Chinese food. Service was excellent, the staff were friendly and warm and a young lady even took her time out to approach each tables apologizing for a slight delay on service...I actually waited a bit to see if she would have at least offer any free food, lol. Anyway, the quality of food and taste with great customer service justifies their pricing. Plus the place looks clean and well-kept, although I can't imagine what it's like during busy dining hours. read more

Found this place on a whim and was glad I tried it. I came on a Thursday early evening and it was empty, not busy at all. Place is clean and lots of seating options. The worker was nice and the food came out timely. We ordered: Lemon wings, loaded sloopy fries, chicken bun, coconut pandan rice brulee, and a kids chicken meal. If ever visiting SA (or if you live there) and want a good asian infusion food, I would definitely give this one a try. Thoughts on the food: Chicken bun- very taster but was falling apart. The bun split before I even ate it. lemon wings- different, very tasty, just wish they were more crispy. Load bulgogi fries- very good, I recommend trying. I think they could cut the meat though which would make it easier to eat evenly. coconut pandan rice brulee- the top part was a big too thick which make the sugar hard to crunch, it should be thinner. The rice pudding itself was flavored well and you can taste the pandan. It was also well balanced and not overly sweet. Kids meal- I liked that it includes broccoli and my son loved the chicken. read more

Place is nice and clean. We were briefly served, as far as it goes. We were asked if we wanted chopsticks and forks and brought an extra bowl upon request. The food was unremarkable, bland, heavy, and soggy. The bun: weak, fell apart after one bite. The rice: unsalted, bland. The slaw: unremarkable. The beef: extremely thick coated, soggy and sweet. Could not finish. The broccoli: crunchy and light, enjoyable. It was almost $30, for minimal service with a food undeserving of anything more than a star. This restaurant leans very heavily into the "contemporary" if that is your desire. read more

Tasty Asian food and polite people even at night before closing! Ambiance is trendy in a Texas Asian-friendly way! This place is clean, and they have fair prices! One note, if you order from the "bun" part of the menu know that it's more of an appetizer. Another note, they offer vegan-friendly, and gluten free meals. This restaurant is super efficient! We really enjoyed it. read more

I've driven past Ming's countless times and never thought to check out the area. It was not until my partner spontaneously stopped and suggested to try Ming's. Before I get to the great, the only downside during our visit was how humid it was inside the restaurant. Extremely moist temperature. I ordered Ming's Teriyaki Crispy Chicken which I highly recommend - the crispy chicken was insanely delicious! I need to try and cook chicken like this. My partner ordered the bulgogi bun and Ming's Cilantro Lime Noodle. The staff weee welcoming and informative. Service was great! read more

I have been a Ming's fan for many years (including bixcar and farmers market days) and this incarnation is their best yet. You can count on the food having fresh ingredients, interesting flavors, and contrasting textures. This location has indoor seating as well as a large patio with a busy city feel. Getting a rice bowl or noodle bowl at Ming's is a guilt-free pleasure because you can enjoy the dining experience and know that you are taking care of your health, too. read more

Ming's at Midtown - Lemon Lemon Crispy Chicken - Asian Fusion Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Unsweetened iced tea 7/10 Had a little funny flavor to it. Maybe the type of tea they use, not sure. Wasn't terrible but not what I was expecting. Teriyaki crispy chicken 8/10 Crispy Chicken: flavor was amazing. Crisp was amazing. Breading was also delicious. Cooked perfectly. Teriyaki glaze: flavor was really good, but it only had enough to glaze the chicken, nothing else in the dish. Cabbage Slaw: little gingery, wasn't a huge fan, I don't like ginger, but I mixed a little bit in with the rice. Broccoli: there was only 3 pieces, a little undercooked for me, and just plain. No seasoning or anything on it. Again extra teriyaki would have been nice to coat the broccoli too. White Rice: was good, very sticky, but just plain white rice. Again, more teriyaki to coat the rice as well. read more

My husband & I tried Mings on a last minute whim and we were not disappointed! The place was cute and has some really fun artwork! The staff were friendly and quick with everything. The Baos were definitely high on the scale out of baos we've had before! The Shrimp bao was my favorite! But they were all pretty good, the flavors worked, and the stuffing was perfectly portioned! My husband loved the spicy sichuan noodles! They weren't too spicy but they were just enough! The cold noodles are perfect for that noodle craving in hotter weather. Overall we would totally go back and try some more items! read more

Ming's is fireeeee! I could not recommend this place enough honestly. We walked in and ordered to sit outside. Quick and easy. There were about 8-9 other tables there on a Friday night and only took about 15-20 minutes for our food, but it was well worth it! The steamed buns were phenomenal. We ordered the cubano, sloopy, and bulgogi -- each amazing with flavors. Our favorite was the cubano and bulgogi. The thinly sliced pork belly on that cubano did something for my heart. I immediately felt like I was in someone's kitchen because that was cooked with some serious love! We also ordered the shrimp crispy dumplings and they were great! They came with 2 different dipping sauces and we really enjoyed the whole pieces of shrimp chopped up -- great flavor and super crispy! We were surprised this place wasn't more busy tbh this food was amazing and the service was also great!! Will definitely be back. read more

Let me tell you the MAIN reason I went to Ming's - I wanted to finally try a century egg! This has been on my list for ages and I am so happy I stopped by to check it off. Please do not be put off by the color, Ming's century egg tastes like the most succulently soaked ramen egg you have ever experienced, definitely met and exceeded my expectations! As for the buns and noodle dishes, they were definitely good! Yet, there was something that wasn't exactly fantastic. Some flavor in the dishes that I can't quite put my finger on was a bit too much and made the items all taste too similar. I do love the variety of bao buns you can purchase individually, allowing you to try different kinds at once so that is a plus! I would like to go back and try some more to see if it may have been a fluke with the flavoring. Regardless, an overall good experience that I would recommend! read more

I had the Coconut Curry Rice Bowl with grilled shrimp. I ordered Dad the Summer Noodles but he liked my food more. We ordered the Ming's Wings but was too full to eat any.

I have a thing for Ming!! I love this place, it hits every time. I've only ever gotten take out, but the atmosphere inside is a cool vibe. Limited seating inside, but they have outdoor seating too. Employees are always friendly and kind. And the best part is their food!! I love their steamed buns!! My favs so far are bulgogi and the Thai shrimp. They are so tasteful and delicious! I can't go to Ming's without ordering one. So yummy and only $4-$5. Last time I was here I got Ming's Wings. They were incredible!! I got the spicy, and there was a kick, but it wasn't too much of a heat. So so delicious! Would recommend! Time before that, I got one of their chicken rice noodle bowls with a fried egg on top. It was really good, but I think there was a little more lettuce and slaw then I'd prefer, but it was still great! Next time you're in the mood for some Asian comfort food, give this place a try! read more

Was headed to a Yelp event (@Hopscotch nearby) and my bf suggested we go for dinner, based on his friend's feedback, so we made it here by word of mouf! When we arrived someone yelled out to welcome us, but we couldn't see who or where it came from lol.. It took us a while to skim the menu because everything sounds so delicious.. the place wasn't packed per se, but there was a good amount of people moving about. We ordered and sat outside to beautiful weather. Seems the team was just really busy, food was made to order and brought to our table about 10 mins later. I ordered the Cilantro-Lime rice noodles with tofu (sauce on side), and my bf ordered the Nuac Gong sweet potato noodles (wondering why the menu doesn't show most dishes).. and their most popular Beef Bao (can't remember name and it's not showing in menu sorry!) I'd never had Bao before and I'd go back just to order several of those.. super tasty! With kimchi and the tender beef, seasoned and saucy tastiness. Oh, and they have a good selection of fountain sodas too! read more
