    Mongolian Beef
    Floriana M.

    Love this place! The Mongolian beef, sweet and sour chicken, and shrimp chow mein were all delicious. The owners were so nice. The lady that served us gave amazing service. She boxed our leftovers for us and brought out the food so fast! Definitely coming back here!

    Fast friendly lunch service. They foll up quick. Food is good size portions and taste good.

    Wor Wonton Soup. I had already eaten half.
    Jan A.

    Super clean. Very friendly staff. Great expansive menu. I had eaten half of my Wor Wonton Soup before I took a photo. Very ferocious with a flavorful light broth. Highly recommend.

    22. Braised Tofu Lunch Special
    Kimi S.

    Very casual hole in the wall spot over on Vasco. Good for a quick bite to eat, probably not the best for hot days, I don't think they have AC. The Braised Tofu and the Spicy Garlic Eggplant were great. Both the chow mein and the fried rice are good, the portions are big. The lunch specials come with soup and salad if you dine in, great value. Service is quick and efficient.

    House beef with fried rice
    Destiny C.

    I ordered the appetizer platter and the house beef with fried rice and Oh Em Gee it was delicious! All of it! Everything was fresh and made to order. Our food came quickly and our server was very courteous and helpful! Great portion sizes as well

    Delish

    Food here made with LOVE man. Really good lunch special. Very generous portions and super nice people. THANK YOU

    112. Tomato Beef Chow Mein
    Brianna W.

    3.5/5 Decent Chinese food with decent prices. Located right next to the freeway on Vasco! Called in my order during lunch time and was ready within 10 mins. When I walked in, I was instantly greeted and the 2 girls working the front were super friendly and nice. This place was also about 75% full around 1pm on a weekday. I'll definitely be back to try their some of their other items.

    King Pao three combo (prawns, beef, chicken)
    Salvador Z.

    My first time at this establishment. It's located on Vasco Road near 580 freeway. I selected the Kung Pao Three Combo as my entree. The portion was generous and enough for leftovers lunch tomorrow. My food was delicious but disappointed that rice is extra cost. Service and ambiance is good

    83. Sizzling Jumbo Shrimp Platter

    Definitely a Baller On a Budget Approved Establishment!!! Ming's is one of my Favorites for Authentic. Chinese Food in the Livermore Area. They are Located in a Strip Mall so there's plenty of parking!!! I park my Whip there safely all the time. They have a Awesome Menu. I usually. Order Sesame Beef with Chow Mien or Singapore Noodles . They do both Dishes Well!!!! Service is Friendly and Efficient!!! They take Cash and Credit also !!! They also make a Mean Thai Iced Tea !!! For all these reasons this is a Baller On a Budget Approved Establishment!!!!

    Ming's Garden,  lots of parking

    I was driving home from the Central Valley on Friday evening, and decided to stop by and try Ming's Garden on Vasco Rd for the first time. I got there around 830pm, and people were eating in the dining room and there was a steady flow of takeout orders. These are all good signs of a popular restaurant. I ordered 2 favorite dishes: Chicken Chow Mein-Hong Kong Style and Salt 'n Pepper Prawns. The ladies running the front counter were very nice. With the phone ringing, and takeout orders going out, they still took the time to answer all my questions. How was the food? Salt 'n Pepper Prawns, Grade (4/5): These are battered fried prawns. I got 14 avg size prawns in my order. Lightly crisp, but could use more seasoning. Chicken Chow Mein-Hong Kong Style, Grade (4/5): This is crispy thin noodles, with chicken, veggies, and thick gravy poured on top. This is a good dish if you like both crispy noodles and soft noodles with gravy. Interesting thing they do for takeout, they keep the crispy noodles and gravy separate. You mix them when you get home. Once again, a good dish. But doesn't seem to have enough flavor. The chicken was very tender. But in general, good food prepared with care. Also, great location....right off the I-580 freeway on South Vasco Rd. It's in the strip mall that has the Jack in the Box and the Taco Bell. Plenty of free parking. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aug 13, 2021: Covid restrictions required mask wear indoors

The prices are a bit high for my liking, but maybe this is a norm out here in Livermore. We ordered 3 items: Combo fried rice, Orange Chicken, and Chicken Corn Soup. Spent about $50. The food would have been only enough for 2 people. Food was good, soup was a bit salty and had a bit too much cornstarch. Orange chicken was delicious, I would go back for this anytime. The fried rice was okay, a little too dry, but not too bad. Overall the food was good and service was quick. We didn't wait too long for our order.

The three of us shared the House Special Dinner, which was a fantastic spread. It included fried prawns, egg rolls, barbecued spare ribs, Mandarin orange beef, prawns with snow peas, honey walnut prawns, and house fried rice. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The honey walnut prawns were especially memorable, and every dish had great balance and taste. The variety made it perfect for sharing, and we left very satisfied. The service was friendly and welcoming, and the overall dining experience was excellent. It's not exactly light on the wallet--the price is $32.95 per person as of March 2026--but considering the amount and quality of food you receive, it felt like a very good value. I would absolutely recommend Canton Village to anyone looking for delicious Chinese food in Livermore.

For anyone coming, the parking can be really bad as it shares probably 20 or so spots with several other restaurants. It's near impossible to park nearby with the alternative of parking near the Panera's or even the target. There's plenty of tables and seats inside, and it was pretty slow when we dined in. Convenient televisions on two different sides where all the workers were casually watching, and quite the chatter in the kitchen where they're all watching the World Cup. That doesn't really affect service however as they're quite attentive when called for. We ordered the salted fish and chicken fried rice, and the medium bbq platter with char sound soy sauce chicken. All very delicious! The only thing is that they can bit on the pricier side with $20 for the fried rice and $30 for the bbq plate. Overall, I thought grand cafe definitely scratched our itch for Cantonese style dining experience. It typically comes with great food, good service, and a bit of nostalgia from being from the Bay Area.

My brother and I met a few friends here for dinner on 11/28/2025. At around 7:15pm, the place was completely full. Fortunately, our friends arrived a little earlier and secured a table. The interior was clean. A couple TVs on the walls were showing different sporting and news programs. Their menu featured a wide array of non-Americanized Cantonese fare. We decided to do family style and got half a dozen dishes to share. They were: Beef Filet with Mixed Mushrooms, 1lb of BBQ Pork, Fujian Fried Rice, Beef Chow Fun with Gravy, House Pan Fried Noodles, and Salted Pork Bone and Peanut Porridge. Our food arrived in about 15 minutes. Overall, I was impressed by quality and authenticity. Despite the slightly higher price point comparing to other similar restaurants, they didn't skimp on anything. The rice and noodle dishes were loaded with delicious toppings, and the taste was on point. The BBQ pork and the beef filet dish were both fantastic. The meat/fat ratio of the BBQ pork was just right, and the beef filet cubes were tender and flavorful. The porridge was just okay. My mom's version still reigns supreme. Service we received was very good. Our server was very friendly and gave us helpful suggestions. She did forget our iced water, but I am willing to overlook that. I got a chance the chat with staff before we left, they were all very genuine and friendly people. Overall, I was very pleased with my experience here. The food was authentic and tasty, and the staff were friendly and helpful. If you want authentic Cantonese food but don't want to pay the super premium price, this is definitely a good option for you. I will return. 4 solid stars.

I love how friendly and helpful they are here! They have a dedicated easy to access parking lot which I love over downtown places, and the interior looks nice and comfy although I've only ever done takeout.
