This is literally the best food I've ever had. I'm vegetarian, so we only prefer veggie dishes, but everything is seasoned and sautéed perfectly. It also doesn't taste too heavy or processed, also doesn't taste overly salty. The vibes are so calm and welcoming. The man at the front was also so kind and patient with us, and didn't seem even slightly bothered by us once (we all know how food service workers can be sometimes). These people are so kind and their food is amazing. read more

Ming's Garden - Chinese Near Me - San Jose, California

Oh no... what happened to you? I've gotten your house special wonton soup for years. Tonight, there was no chicken, there was no beef, only two pieces of shrimp. The little corn things I've always liked? Hard as a rock. The broccoli was practically raw. The wontons had completely disintegrated, the stuffing was sadly sitting in the bottom of the container, and the skins were just floating around in the broth. How could you not notice so many problems? read more

i ordered three items. The garlic chicken and chow mein were both good. The crab rangoons had no crab, no crab flavor and were so sweet it was like eating dessert. worst crab rangoons I've ever had. consider what you order. read more

Here is my two cents on the quality quantity and price of my Kung pow pork.. It was delivered by Uber eats in a timely manner... This is the second time I have ordered from Ming Garden .... It was as good as the first time.. Except for giving me extra napkins it was delicious!. They use different vegetables then what they did for my previous order.. hot sauce was a good combination with the food.. You get your main entrée choice of rice white rice or fried rice . They also include a fresh and crispy egg roll.. They are due what most places don't anymore is give you that fortune cookie .. The other thing I must comment on is their takeout containers... They are very secured leakproof food very well plus, they are easy to take off.,.... And I found at $15 plus delivery from Uber eats it's only about $20 altogether ... so the price is quite reasonable.. This will definitely be my go to Chinese place when I'm not looking to experiment and checking out other restaurants . So I definitely recommend everyone to at least give them a try at least one time .. read more

Ming's Garden - Beef with Hot Garlic Sauce Lunch Special.. - Chinese Near Me - San Jose, California

I've always appreciated Mings Garden's food and service, but today I was surprised by a $3 condiment charge I wasn't notified about. Hoping they communicate that better going forward. read more

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! read more

Ming's Garden - Beef and Beef with Broccoli, Chicken Chow Mein - Chinese Near Me - San Jose, California

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! read more

Ming's Garden - I hope ordering in is a lot better for you customers ordering out you're cheated - Chinese Near Me - San Jose, California

I finally had a chance to try Ming's garden yesterday and I was very pleasantly surprised! We actually sat there and ate it fresh at the restaurant. We ordered the beef chow mein and house fried rice and both were piping hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious! The owner was very nice and the ambiance was definitely more on the casual side but the place seemed clean and had about 6 or 7 small tables. We will definitely be back to try more items! I would highly recommend giving this place a try if you're looking for some great Chinese food. read more

Since our regular Chinese restaurant closed, we've been searching for a replacement. Stopped in at Ming's Garden to see if it was a contender. Interior is kind of a self serve setup. Order at the counter, pickup up some utensils, water and condiments and sit down. We had a delicious egg flower soup. While I would have preferred Hot and Sour, the egg flower was a nice substitute. We did order a large Hot & Sour to go and it was very good the next day. Wife had a very tender beef and broccoli and I had the General's chicken. Both dishes were satisfying. I've been back for take out and this may be the end of my searching. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Food good Very small portions for Chinese take out. Should have taken photo. Disappointing. read more

With most chinese restaurants, it all depends what you like whether or not the place will appeal to you. I usually find a few things at least that are to my liking. Here it's sadly only one thing... sesame chicken. Even then, sometimes it's all breading and minimal chicken. Everything else I've tried has gone straight to the trash. My most recent attempt was simple: pot stickers. Hard to mess up, right? wrong. theirs are terrible. tiny floppy little things, very unappealing flavor. The worst item I've found though was the crab rangoon. They do them in triangles, which is weird to me, but whatever... the problem is they aren't cooked enough to be crispy, so the shell is this thick doughy ick. Not delicious. There are so many options for chinese food around here. I don't see any reason to keep trying to like this one. Too many fails already. read more

Food is terrible and so oily! The staff does not even know how to cook kung pao chicken the right way. It was not even spicy. Since when do you put raisins in kung pao chicken? I only want to put in a half of a star . Hire someone who knows how to cook. The snow peas have black spots and aren't fresh and i counted them, it's 2 pieces cut into 3 each. Pathetic! The mushrooms in the Singaporean noodles? forget it...Someone needs to inspect their kitchen for sanitation please! I feel sick right now read more

Love love love this place. The food is always so good and fresh. Staff are always so polite and happy. Their fried rice is soooo good too! Recommend Ming's to everyone! read more

The food was fresh and the portions generous, but the flavor was pretty average. The soup was a bit too salty, and the vegetables were overcooked. Decent for a quick bite, but nothing memorable. read more

We just moved into the area and walked to Mings to get a takeout. It was excellent and still hot after our 10 minute walk home. We had pineapple fried rice which was delicious and also the Szechuan chicken which my husband loved. The vegetables were crisp and everything tasted so fresh. The only dish we didn't love was the Spring Rolls as they really didn't have much filling. But we would definitely recommend Ming's Garden. read more

I have noticed this restaurant for over a decade. Today, I decided to try the local Chinese restaurant. Even though it is a sit-down restaurant, you order and pay as though it was a takeout restaurant. I ordered a combination plate with soup. They served the soup in a paper cup. It was egg-drop soup which I didn't want. I was looking for soup that I couldn't easily make at home. My meal was brought to me in a plastic plate and the utensils were plastic. The soup was boiling hot, but the food wasn't very hot. I was very disappointed. read more

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. read more

Ordered through DoorDash Put in special instructions "no mushrooms, allergic to mushrooms" Chow mien came with a rather large mushroom right on top, and several smaller mushroom throughout.. I have never had mushrooms in chow mien before, it's almost as if they added them on purpose.. Mushrooms aside,the rest of the food was subpar.. fried rice was flavorless, potstickers tasted like something I could get in the frozen food section at Safeway and the broccoli shrimp had more salt than the body needs.. will never order from them again and don't recommend!!! read more

Ming's Garden - Does this look like "no mushrooms" - Chinese Near Me - San Jose, California

They serve delicious food and affordable especially lunch specials . Good service and price reasonable.

Love the food! The owner really cares about the cleanliness of the food and place. The food is not too salty or oily, which is very different from other Chinese take out place. The food tastes very homemade! We will come again! read more

Overall: uninviting Plexiglass separates a customer from the employee at the front window, making it uncomfortable to communicate. All the booths have some black and white sign on them. Can't remember exactly what it said, but it looked very rigid. I would not want to sit down and eat here. Food was overpriced. Portions not that great. Taste was just average. Spent $100 to go, and would not go back. read more

Excellent food, fresh with good prices. Lots of healthy choices, which is important to us. Their "diet" menu is amazing for eating clean. We order from Ming's often and their food is spot on every time. Our son loves the Mongolian Beef; we usually get the diet menu broccoli with shrimp or chicken, the chicken salad, and the tofu vegetable soup. Delicious and healthy! read more

Order through Instacart, won't do it again. Wanted to try a new Place. We order the pork fried rice which had a funny taste to it, the crispy fried wonton tasked stale, the BBQ spare ribs tasted old and had a funny taste to them, the eggs rolls also had a funny taste, the Chinese chicken salad was soggy and chicken also had a funny taste. If I could give this place a lower rating then one star I would. My family and I took one bite and threw it in the garbage. read more

The restaurant looks like a hole in the wall. However, it is pricey for the food portions. The taste is also not that great. They serve in cheap disposables. Service was quick considering we were the only customer. Ordered hot and sour chicken soup, kung pao chicken, chicken chowmein l, broccoli chicken and steamed rice. The chicken was slightly smelly. Chowmein was very oily and bland. read more

So disappointing. Super sick so I ordered Grubhub through Yelp. I purchased: 1: "Fried" potstickers- which are basically frozen potstickers that have the bottom pan fried. They are not actually fried as in the whole potstickers, merely cooked the old fashioned way. They are also small, and the filling was mostly cabbage. 2:The "steamed" potstickers tasted boiled and had same filling and size. 3:And the Wor Wonton Soup was filled with more than questionable meat, rotten veggies, two tiny wontons with no filling, and the broth had dirt in it since they did not rinse the bok choy. Needless to say, I threw away $42. Save your money. read more

OMG how have I not reviewed this place until now?! It's my go-to for Chinese food and I've been here at least ten times over the past year. I'm really boring though, and always order the same thing - the lunch special of prawns in lobster sauce with pork fried rice. It's around $9. It's always fresh, hot (seriously, REALLY warm) and delicious. The guy at the front counter is always friendly and I like that I can make myself a cup of hot tea to go while I wait. The prawns in lobster sauce is always a great dish - lots of perfectly tender shrimp in that glorious sauce (reminds me a lot of egg drop soup actually), and the pork fried rice is tasty and not greasy. I've gotten larger orders to go as well, but I can't remember what we ordered. ;) I know it's been well-received though! read more

Simple, fast, somewhat Americanized but not. Their boiling fish dish sounds good and is a regional dish not offered at most Chinese restaurants of this type, unfortunately I didn't order it. Their salt and pepper fish is decent. Thin slices for deep fried fish with salt and pepper along with onions and jalapeño peppers. The orange chicken is orange chicken unlike what you get at Panda. The orange flavor is strong and fresh. read more

Had lunch there today and what a mistake. We will never go back. My sister ordered a broccoli beef lunch special. She said hers didn't have much flavor to it. She did like the eggroll. I ordered honey walnut prawns, not on the lunch special. First of all the guy at the counter put down a different shrimp dish because the honey walnut prawns aren't on the luncheon special. I told him this wasn't what I ordered and he said what I ordered wasn't on the lunch menu. I said I know that. He asked if I still want the honey walnut prawns. I said yes, that was what I ordered. Then he says they cost more! I'm thinking are you serious? You screwed up my order and now my sister is eating alone and will be done by the time I get mine. But I said yes, I want the prawns. He brings them out and the coating on the shrimp wasn't fully cooked. They were doughy inside. Just horrible. And the walnuts were just weird. It was like they were pre-coated with a white sugary stuff but not cooked or something and tasted really stale. Check out the picture. And they tasted as bad as they looked. I picked off most of the coating on the shrimp and ate that because I wasn't going to spend another minute arguing with the rude guy behind the counter. And the place is really tacky inside now. Paper signs (2 per table) saying to clear your own table when you are done. Surprised they didn't want us to wash down the table too. read more

I ordered delivery through Uber Eats. Ordered House Chow Mein and hot and sour soup. Cost me $40 with the delivery charge. The soup didn't even fill the tub and the chow mein came in a small container. Food was bland. Never again will I order from this place. Expensive and small portions not even good. read more

It has been awhile since I have been here and the food was even better than I remembered it. Recently i ordered the egg drop soup which was delicious. This time I ordered Chicken Chow Mein, Chicken with Mixed Vegetables, and Dumplings. All were perfectly cooked and delicious. The chicken was thin sliced and tender with a light and savory brown sauce and the vegetables had a nice variety of mushrooms, snow peas, bok chpy, carrots, broccoli, bamboo shoots, baby corn, and green beans. The chicken in the chow mein was also very tender and the noodles were nice and thick and not too greasy. The dumplings/potstickers were in and and crispy (I got them fried). The only thing I would change if I could is the potsticker sauce as I prefer a more savory ansspicy dipping sauce and this one was seeet. I did takeout and the service was also fast and friendly. read more

Great local neighborhood Chinese food restaurant. Small place but I always get food to go. Lunch combos and dinner dishes both are satisfying, and the food quality is dependable. I really enjoy having this place so nearby, and crave it regularly. read more

Fast hot delicious. Exactly what my life needed at that moment. That Gen T lunch special is something special. Crispy fresh delectable.

Superior quality and service. Fresh and delicious food and excellent customer service.

After three years living in San Jose, I believe we have found the best Chinese carryout/delivery in the area. I just ordered the Chicken & Vegetables lunch combination, and it arrived HOT and fresh (and the right portion size). Their General Tso's is also pretty awesome, and I have a very high bar for my General's. Great quality for the price! Must have! read more

Stopped by last minute for a quick dinner. I wasn't sure what I wanted but ended up settling for some fried rice, shrimp and sweet & sour pork. Customer service was good. I was attended right away and given different suggestions from the menu. In the end, I feel the price was a little have for the small amounts of food. I ordered a plate of friend rice and shrimp with veggies. Then I got a side of sweet and sour pork since there wasn't an option to get a plate with two sides. My total was $17 for 1 plate + side and the food was okay. It wouldn't be my first option for Chinese food spot. read more

I'll be honest. I haven't eaten here before. This restaurant is near the house where I grew up, where my parents still live. I'm eternally grateful to Ming Garden and Grubhub for delivering food to my parents last night. They're both sick and I live 90 miles away. I was able to order food for them, pay for it and have it all delivered in a matter of a few clicks. The food was delivered to them in under an hour. The soup helped my mom perk up. I'm really grateful. Thank you! read more
