A styrofoam takeaway tray that melted due to how hot the food was.

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!

Order at the counter. Everything is cooked fresh

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!

noodles and broccoli in a styrofoam container

Conveniently located next to the Holiday Inn I was staying at. I ordered online through the Yelp app. Paid with my apple wallet account. Broccoli shrimp with lo mein. Delicious and very satisfying. Very fair portions.

Message I received from an employee
Lorraine P.

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.

Egg drop soup and crunchy things (I don't know what they are called)

1 Star -- Deeply Disappointed with Kawa's & Tyler…read more I genuinely expected a smooth and enjoyable evening at Kawa's & Tyler, especially after making reservations well in advance. Unfortunately, what should have been a simple dinner turned into an hour-and-a-half ordeal. Our reservation was for 6:00 PM, yet we were not seated until 7:30 PM. Throughout that entire time, the hostess repeatedly told us the same line: "We're cleaning the grill." However, we watched multiple guests walk in without reservations and get seated immediately at the very grill that was supposedly being cleaned for us. If you do not intend to honor reservations, then simply do not take them. It is incredibly unfair--and frankly unprofessional--to allow walk-ins to bypass guests who planned ahead and booked reservations in good faith. To make matters worse, the wait staff seemed completely unaware of what was happening and continued to repeat the same story for over an hour. If the team isn't informed, they should at the very least refrain from misleading their guests. This experience was not only frustrating but also deeply disappointing. I truly hope management addresses this breakdown in communication and respect for customer time, because what happened tonight was completely unacceptable.

Tried Kawa's in Tyler and got the orange chicken. It was bursting with flavor and I loved every…read morebite. The customer service was great and the restaurant is spacious. Overall, a solid spot for a tasty meal.
