    Sesame Chicken
    Brian M.

    This was my first time at Mings and to say I was disappointed is an understatement. I normally don't leave reviews but they have to do better. Sesame chicken & General Tso chicken were floating in grease/oil and was not good at all. Spending $60+ on 3 to go meals and to get this quality of food is not good. Maybe just a bad night I don't know..

    I love this place so much that my wife and I eat here once a week. The food is great. The service is always on point and s it is always full of locals.

    Lunch Buffet

    Awesome lunch buffet! Not a huge variety because it's a small restaurant, but the food is really good. I'm always satisfied when I leave. The service is friendly, and the food items are perfect for my taste buds.

    Everything taste like preservatives or freezer burn. I've tried it twice. If you're looking for Chinese, go to Kumo!

    I was working in the area and decided to grab lunch before heading back to the office. I searched…read moreYelp to see what was good nearby and this place had great reviews, so I gave it a try. I ordered online and was able to walk in and pick it up with ease. The online order estimated about 25 minutes, but my food was ready in closer to 10 to 15 minutes, which was a pleasant surprise. The restaurant itself is beautiful. I even snapped a couple of photos while using the restroom and grabbing my order. Dining in would definitely be a very enjoyable experience. Another plus is that there is plenty of parking that is free and easy to access, which made stopping in stress free. The lunch deals are great and the portions are perfect. Most importantly, the food was delicious. I would absolutely try this place again when I'm back in the area.

    When you walk into a "sushi" restaurant, you never know if it's going to be a legit sushi place or…read morenot. Kumo Sushi & Asian should really just stick with "Asian". It's definitely Asian, but it's not very good. In fact, it was downright horrible. I asked if the Shumai was freshly made in the back or frozen. He answered, "Frozen." Then, I asked if the gyoza was freshly made or frozen & he answered, "We don't make any of that there the back." So, basically - this place just buys frozen Asian foods and then heats them up. So, I decided to go with something "safe" and I ordered the agedashi tofu. Agedashi tofu is a Japanese dish, but this place is clearly not a Japanese-owned restaurant because it was called "Age Tofu" on the menu. Sadly, when they brought it out, it was drowning in some sort of sauce that was not doshi broth. I also ordered the General Tso's chicken because I figured that maybe they'd do a better job with a Chinese entree. Nope. It, too was drowning in sauce. And, the thing is - I love Asian sauces. But, I want to taste the actual protein, too. The chicken was overcooked and I think they thought that the sauce would hide it...but it did not. The other funny thing is that the General Tso's dish came with an egg roll and fried rice. The egg roll appeared to be previously frozen, too because it had that "reheated taste". Oh - and fried rice is supposed to have a lot of vegetables in it. My fried rice had like 3-4 specs of carrot. It was horrible. Finally, the two pieces of broccoli that were part of my General Tso's chicken were also frozen and reheated. NOTHING about Kumo was fresh. This is lazy & disgraceful. Since Kumo was now 0-8 on fulfilling menu items, I figured I'd get a mango mochi dessert. Dang - they put so much whipped cream on it that you couldn't even find the mochi. Basically, this place was so disappointing. I had leftovers because it was so bad & I couldn't finish, but I wouldn't even feed the leftovers to anybody I know. Gardendale needs a better option.

He was prompt and very matter of fact-low energy type. I couldn't tell if that was just his personality or if he didn't want to be there. We had two children's drinks, water for the adults, vegetarian lettuce wraps, California roll and bang bang chicken as starters. The lettuce wraps were good, more lettuce than filling. California roll-so small! Chicken was moist but oddly served on a bed of chunky lettuce-like the insides of the lettuce cups. Updated:apparently there is a bang bank chicken salad. Our entree was the vegetable lo mein add tofu. The kids menu has no vegetarian options and doesn't allow for tofu substitutions so we ordered a miso soup and the Japanese soup separately. The portions are absolutely individual. The lo mein was pretty good with a nice variety of vegetables. Our bill was separated by seat with individual tax for every person. For what was mentioned above, our total was $78 which is honestly much higher than I anticipated and for the portions. This place definitely is more about the fluff it seems. There were grease prints on the headboards at the seats and the bathroom floors were sticky. The decor was very basic. For the price and product, wouldn't go back.
