Beef and Beef with Broccoli, Chicken Chow Mein
Stephanie M.

Love going to this place. I live a few blocks away so it's super convenient. Food is great. I usually order the same two things but the taste and quality are great. They're also super sweet at the restaurant!

Hot & Sour Soup
Katie M.

Ordered food off DoorDash delivery! Got the Crab Rangoons and Hot & Sour Soup! Crab Rangoons were $9.75 for a pack of 8!! Great pricing and they were super yummy. They also gave a great sized portion of the soup for $11. Food was made quickly and soup was still pipping hot by the time it got dropped off on my doorstep! I'm a sucker for hot & soup soup and this satisfied my cravings!! Definitely want to go in person to check out the spot for myself next time but will definitely be checking them out again!

I hope ordering in is a lot better for you customers ordering out you're cheated

Ordered the lunch service to go sour sweet-and-sour pork you have to dip your pork, no bell pepper, no onion, smaller to go plate

Tofu Chow Mein.
Tram N.

I called Pearl River off of Lincoln first, but I was not able to understand the gal that answered the phone. Nor was she able to understand me so I went w/ the next best option that isn't too far from where I live. We were not eating meat that day, Gavin wanted chow fun so I figured we should try this place. The gentleman that answered the phone was very courteous and upbeat. Both of our orders came out the way we wanted it. I would prefer bean sprouts, bell peppers, green onions, and cabbage but I did not want to be that customer. The orders came to us in meal prep containers and was packed to the rim. A tad under-seasoned so we used one of the soy sauce packets it came w/. A little Sriracha from home made this a very filling and comforting meal. And yes, we'd go back to try their other items when we get a chance. I cannot complain.

Vegetable Chow Mein
John L.

Ordered Ming's Garden on Yelp. I made a mistake and hit pick up instead of delivery. Luckily, this place was only 10 minutes away. We wanted a simple meal, vegetable Chow Mein, potstickers and egg rolls. The food was decent for the price. Nothing to go crazy about, but if you want to satisfy a craving for a quick bite of Chinese food, this is a good spot to keep in mind. This was the first time I have ever ordered Chinese food, especially Chow Mein and did not have any leftovers after. We all know the best part of getting Chinese food is the leftovers the next day. So they need to hook up the bigger portions. The potstickers where really good. The egg rolls I would pass on. It was really doughy and not much flavor.

Vegetable Chow Mein
Rachel G.

WHY have I been sleeping on this place? No longer will I skip this little hole in the wall if I have a Chinese food craving. Don't know why this place doesn't have better reviews! Ming's Garden took me by surprise. Placed a DoorDash order, (so I can't really comment on the atmosphere or service) got the chicken with explosive chili. It's perfectly seasoned, spicy, crispy, delicious. 10/10, no notes. Vegetable chow mein, loved the chewier noodle and veggie ratio, not dried out or loaded with cabbage like some chow mein can be. I will definitely be back to try other items, although it might be hard not to get these every time!

Oh my god oh my god oh my God this Chinese food is so good so fresh, so authentic so tasty the service is very very polite and fast and courteous. The ambience was so calm and peaceful. Me and my hubby enjoyed the meal in peace in silence from the vegetable soup to the broccoli and beef with the fried rice, honey walnut shrimp, and my HONEY got sweet-and-sour chicken. If it was amazing we definitely didn't know about this place but we do now, and we will be returning soon. Thank you so much for having us.

The restaurant has a classic…read moreMexican Restaurant feel, a cheery place that could have been set up anywhere from a year ago to decades ago. It's got a great positive vibe. The food quality is overall very good - it has a "homemade feel" to it, even the more complex dishes. Things I've tried. Nachos with . . . many things. The Salsa is great and spicy, the Guac is good, the bean dip is smooth. The chips are clearly made there. The Guacamole con Chicharron was really excellent. I've found the burritos to be solid. I'd definitely give say give the Chrorizo a try for sure! The Tacos de Gobernador are a new favorite. It's not just good seafood tacos, they also add cool veggies and sauce to out-of-the-fryer fish which really enhances the taste. That's on to have right there. If you like Mexican food, then give this a try. They have a Taco Tuesday, a Dance Floor, and are next to a Mexican pastry shop. You've got everything you need for a nice evening. Just be sure to go in once. Enjoy the ambiance, the nice bar, and the positive attitude. When I first went in two people were sitting at the bar, watching a dog show on one of the big televisions. I knew I'd be coming back.

We asked for a second serving which they were happy to provide. Our order took a little longer than we'd hoped but the portions were good and food was satisfactory. It seemed like the fajitas combo was just missing something. Not sure if it was that it needed more seasoning or more garnish. The tortilla soup was good but was too spicy for me to finish. They have a lot to choose from. The restaurant is large with cool decor.

Portion sizes are noticeably smaller while prices have gone up. The chips tasted like the frying oil needed to be changed. No pride in the presentation of the food. The tastiness isn't there anymore. I'm happy to pay higher prices if the quality matches but that's not happening here. I get that it's incredibly expensive to run a food service business and they try to help the profit margins with little adjustments but it's those little things that turn people away. People notice them. That said, service itself is always good. They've put a lot of effort into making the patio a nice place to enjoy a meal. But I'd prefer a mediocre ambiance and a great meal. This was my go-to favorite place to get Mexican food. I'm sad to have to shelve this spot and hunt for a new favorite.

Instead of taking accountability for sending out an incomplete meal, they hid behind the food delivery app, refusing to issue a proper refund or make it right. They are deliberately taking advantage of delivery customers knowing it's harder to resolve issues after the order leaves their doors. It is utterly dishonest to charge hard-earned money for a full meal and send half an order. Shame on this establishment for scamming paying customers and refusing to take responsibility for their own mistakes. I will never spend another dime here, and I strongly advise everyone else to avoid them. Save your money and order from a business that actually respects its customers.

The platter includes one pupusa of your choice, one pastelito, one chicken tamal, one corn tamal, fried yuca with chicharron, one empanada, plantains, sour cream, pickled cabbage, and pickled red onions. I chose the pork, bean, and cheese pupusa, which ended up being one of my favorite items. It tasted authentic with great tortilla texture and flavor. The pastelito was nice and crispy. The chicken tamal was good and similar to a Mexican tamale, but with a softer masa. The corn tamal was sweet and tasted like a cornbread muffin. The fried yuca was good and had a similar texture to potatoes. The chicharron was okay and was a bit bland. The empanada was more of a dessert, as it was sweet with a custard-like filling. The plantains were cooked perfectly and had a nice balanced of sweetness. Also ordered one pupusa with pork and cheese. Personally, I prefer the version that includes beans, but this one was still worth trying. The sopa de pata is a cow feet soup that includes cabbage, carrots, tripe, and yuca, served with tortilla, dried chili peppers, and dried oregano on the side. The broth was flavorful, but there were a lot of vegetables. The cow feet did not have a lot of tendon, so it was basically two pieces of bone that took up a lot of space in the bowl. The tripe was soft, and I like how it was prepared well without any unpleasant smell. The horchata Salvadoreña was refreshing, but okay. Plenty of parking. Customer service was good, and both the waitress and kitchen staff were friendly and welcoming. The indoor dining is small and can fit about 20 to 25 people. Overall, this is a solid spot for Salvadoran food!

Awesome spot for fresh and innovative seafood dishes, both cooked and raw! The menu changes daily…read morebased on what they have, and isn't released until 30 minutes before they open. I was craving oysters and noticed they had a happy hour, that luckily include oysters on the afternoon we were going. I'm not sure if they always have them, but noticed quite a few pictures of them, so they might be a pretty good staple on the menu. We ordered almost everything on the happy hour menu; bar nuts, oysters, salmon kebab, tuna loin, calamari, and fish ribs. Each dish was unique and well thought out. The oysters had a rhubarb vinaigrette and came with a little piece of citrus and some edible flowers, the calamari a Thai dipping sauce, and the tuna loin pieces of pineapple, chopped cashews, and a salsa. There wasn't a single boring dish in sight. We liked everything we got, but a few things stood out more than the rest. Favorites were the oysters, tuna loin, and salmon kebab. I would get most again if the menu was similar, I might skip the calamari and got for more raw dishes the next time.
