We always enjoy great food whenever we are in the area, and we like to stop by Ming's for its outstanding Chinese cuisine.

Man this place was terrible, drive person told us they can't put chicken fried rice with the bourbon chicken number 813 order to be exact! SMH!!! Safe to say me and my wife will not return!! read more

The food was good, although it wasn't amazing overall, the fried rice was amazing. The service was very quick and staff was very kind and polite. The building is a little awkwardly built but the stop is decent if you want some good Chinese food. read more

Great food, big portions, and very kind people! We really enjoyed their egg drop soup!

We loved the food, prices, service, and clean seating area. We chose to eat from the specials -- we had beef and broccoli, chicken and shrimp, and orange chicken. We will be back! read more

We've had Ming's several times now, the most recent being last weekend. My one meal fed me for days thanks to their large portions. Everything was delicious, but my only critique was that the egg drop soup would've been even better if it was less salty. read more

Good food and lots of it! Prices are very reasonable also. Dining room needs an update but always get food togo anyway.

I ain't even finna cap...they got the best sesame chicken I done eva had. Shit tasted like I was walking in heaven it was flavorful and amazing and was bussin in my mouf. 10/10 read more

I enjoy eating food from Ming's. Their food is always steaming hot when you get it. I'm giving them a "4" instead of a "5" since the quality is not always consistent. I'm not sure if it's the cooks or the product. Overall, I recommend them and eat there a couple of times a month, if not more. read more

We had the vegetable fried rice, spring rolls, chicken, teriyaki, chicken, wings, fried and crab Rangoon. The food was yummy. Not the best we've ever had not the worst. The service was good actually fantastic They do have lots of indoor seating, comfortable booths, and a couple tables. The portions are huge and we could not eat half of what we ordered. Great and comfortable atmosphere and again FRIENDLY SERVICE now! read more

I love Mings. It's one of my favorite restaurants and it was the first local restaurant I was introduced to when I first moved to the Tyler area. And as much as I appreciate my food being hot, can yall let it cool for a moment before you pack it, or invest in stronger styrofoam containers? Again, love this restaurant! read more

Mings Cafe - noodles and broccoli in a styrofoam container - Chinese Near Me - Tyler, Texas

My absolute favorite place for takeout. I wish it wasn't so noisy sometimes though, because it gets overwhelming. But I wear earplugs and I'm ok. I love that the fried rice doesn't have vegetables in it, because I have a lot of vegetable allergies. read more

Great food and great service! I'm not sure who is in the back cooking but they do a GREAT job and the front staff are friendly and always go out of their way to help you. This is one of my favorite restaurants. read more

I've updated to 1 star since an employee decided to private message me a very rude and poorly written message. (See images) I'm not sure who the owner is, but they need to claim this business on Yelp, and have a talk with their employees about customer relations. read more

Last minute dinner decision - Good taste and service ... exceptional amount of food for price

After a long drive last night, I wanted some Chinese takeout and believe I had a friend order from Ming's for me the last time I was in town and liked it, but last night was some of the worst food I've ever had. I ordered the 2 entree dinner special with broccoli beef, sesame chicken, fried rice, and noodles. I think the specials are served from the all-day buffet they have inside and not made fresh like the other reviews say for regular orders, which explains why the prices are so affordable. But what I got tasted like old food. Really bad. The sesame chicken was so over-fried that it had the consistency of jerky and got stuck in my teeth and the sauce was more red in color than any other sesame chicken I've had and it tasted too much like ketchup. The broccoli beef was over-sauced, soggy, and slimy. The fried rice tasted like soy sauce rice. And the noodles had a slightly sour taste and were spoiled. The staff was nice, the online ordering was easy, but I did not finish anything. read more

I love this place. Fast and easy pick up "to go" orders. Food has always been excellent and tasty.

Great food at a great price I love eating at this restaurant. Give them a try and find out

This little shabby restaurant puts chicken in everything that they cook. If you have an allergy do not go there to eat because the wall menu or the handheld menu does not tell what they put in the food, like chicken, beef, or pork. I have a chicken allergy and they did not inform me that chicken was in everything they made, even fried rice. I paid $56.02 for food I could not eat. I only went there because my favorite restaurant was closed to clean their kitchen. All I wanted was wonton soup, veggies, and fried rice. We told the person at the register that I could not eat chicken and he suggested everything everything that I ordered because of the chicken problem. Got home everything had chicken in it even the fried rice. read more

The food is okay, the service is horrible. They have no concern for your time and are very rude. We arrived right when they opened. We waited patiently for 45 minutes. Seven people came in after us and received their food before we questioned when ours would be out. The guy at the front counter was rude and mouthy. We then requested a refund. Our food came up as he was giving the refund. He told them to hold it and proceeded to refund me. He told us not to come back(we did nothing wrong). No worries...we will NOT ever go back there!! Customer service is definitely not what it used to be!!! Not at this restaurant!! read more

Food is better than decent. The chicken curry I've had here in the past is really good. The staff have always been Very helpful and kind. Pricing is average not too high. The portion size is very large on everything I've had here so far Today I had the Asian chicken salad. Sliced fried chicken cutlet on top was good. The lettuce was fresh and crispy. A little too chilled for my liking, but when the super cold fridge chill wore off it was even better. Lots of yummy things in the salad, pineapple chunks, grape tomatoes, slivered almonds, shredded carrots, drizzled with honey so so good. With a creamy like ginger dressing (also a bit too cold) but very tasty. Some egg drop soup was very good. Better than average. With some crunchy things I don't know what they are called. Haha but good. read more

Some of the best hot n sour soup I've ever had The guy who took our order was very friendly and helpful read more

Love the food, Best Hot & Sour is Really Good, Best Egg Rolls, all the food that I have got has been fresh & good.

Waited over 30 minutes in drive through to get food. Rab unprofessional and very slow and rude. Food was not that good either.

Their web page, I'm sad to say, does not do this business justice, but look at the prices! Honestly, I went here and their food is absolutely amazing I would recommend Ming's anytime! I'm going tomorrow to meet my kids for Mother's Day and am truly excited read more

We found this restaurant on yelp and it was a really good find. We told the guy taking out order it was our 1st time here and he schooled us on the menu. He was nice. We ordered the garlic shrimp and sweet & sour chicken. They were both amazingly fresh. The guy told us that our food would be made fresh to order and it sure was! You could taste the freshness! The cool thing is each order comes with either a side of rice or noodles.... we were prepared to buy noodles. That's was cool we got to save a few bucks. We would come here often if we lived around here. There's a nice parking lot so parking was a breeze. We were surprised to see they also have a drive threw. read more

I wish there was a rating of ZERO but the best I can do is leave the review. I was in line, but was completely looked over and people that came in AFTER me were served. There was no manager on duty so I could not report this at the time but I did tell of of the workers. There was no efforts made to make anything right. This was the first time I have visited this establishment and most likely the last! read more

First off, me and my family walked in to be greeted with negative stares from customers. My husband approached the counter where a young lady was standing there, doing something, she did not look up, nor greet us for a few minutes. She then proceeded to ask my husband "have you been helped"? While he had been standing in front of her for a few minutes, the place is extremely outdated, looked unsanitary, unfriendly, and unwelcoming!! Food quality was utter TRASH!!! read more

Casual dining and decent atmosphere. The food is always good and reasonably priced. I will say that the staff is kind, considerate and always polite. On a recent visit we watched as they assisted an elderly lady who struggled to make decisions and was physically frail. They were so unfailingly kind to her and so helpful. An odd development since Covid is that all food is now packed to go, even if you're dining in the restaurant. It's a little awkward but workable. read more

I usually love this place especially when I'm in a hurry and craving Chinese food but today I was was caught way off guard and I'm slightly disappointed. I ordered online and I ordered chicken broccoli ( I normally order beef broccoli which always taste great from here but I decided to change it up). I want to assume this is their version of chicken broccoli and even it was the chicken looks way under cooked. I assumed they made the chicken broccoli identical to their beef broccoli and the only difference was that it's chicken instead of beef. Instead of the soy sauce mixture that's usually in this meal It has this creamy sauce at the bottom that smells like chicken broth. read more

Best place in East Texas for Chinese food!! Anytime I am in Tyler I always stop here!

Don't know what's been going on with Ming's lately. I love the food, it is delicious. But the wait for the food has gotten ridiculous. I've waited 15 minutes (once I finally got to the front of the line in drive thru) for them to just take my order. read more

Excellent food and service! We stopped coming for about a year after several inconsistencies and poor service but decided to give them another chance today and am glad we did. So good!! read more

Great food! I had the bourbon chicken & jalapeño chicken with fried rice and an egg roll. Every time we eat here, we bring home just as much as we ate there. To say you get plenty of food , is an understatement !! Go get Full ! read more

I've eaten at Mings about 4-5 times now and keep coming back because I enjoy the food but the wait time is unbelievable. I have been in and out of sit down restaurants faster than I have gone through the line at Mings. They say it is "our food isn't made until you order it" which I believed base on the time it takes them to move people through the line, until I went inside and saw the same small buffet style fast food counter you see at every other Chinese food place. Key to going: call ahead and walk in to get your order, it's the only way I'll go back! read more

Cheap, Excellent portions, good Food & Customer service. What more can you ask for! My go to restaurant for Chinese in town. They have the best hot and sour soup, fried rice and fried wontons. read more
