Ming's has become one of those rare places we genuinely look forward to, almost once a week lol :P The food is incredibly high quality, tasty, and just plain yummy. The flavors are mouthwatering every time, and somehow the broccoli is always cooked perfectly. Crisp, tender, vibrant, and never overdone, which honestly says a lot. What really keeps us coming back, though, is the service. It goes above and beyond in a way that still catches me off guard. Here, they really try to work around your schedule, and that small detail says a lot. One small note, just to be fair... when ordering for pickup, and even once during pickup, my wife felt the person at the door was a little brisk with her. She jokingly compared it to dealing with a car dealership, in regards to their "attitude" with her. I've never personally had that experience, so apparently I'm the designated pickup person now. And they always give my daughter an extra fortune cookie IF/while we're waiting so... that's a plus, for my daughter lol!! Even with that, we keep coming back because the food is just that good. Delicious, thoughtful, and consistently satisfying. We really love this place!! :D read more

In my opinion, the food has always been good since my first time here, everything I tried from the honey walnut prawns to the chow mein to the fried rice to the steamed rice he list goes on... the food is always hot even when you order it to go! Service is always on point, with the kind greeting at the door, quick seating if a table is available and fast service. The ambience is always chill, company is good and everybody always seems to be engaged in good conversation. .. Gave this place four yumms up before and I'm gonna give it to them again! read more

Value 4.5/5 Food4.5/5 Ambiance 4/5 Service 4.5/5 I continually comeback to Mings for the food quality for both dine-in and take out. I usually come for the lunch special 11-3 Wednesday-Sunday. The lunch specials are fantastic soup, egg role, rice and entree and none more than $15 pp. Tonight was quite busy and I decided to eat in. My tea and water brought right away. I ordered the black bean beef chow fun and salt & pepper fish. I didn't take a photo as I just dived in. The beef in the chow fun was flavorful and fork tender. The chow fun includes bell pepper, onions, red chiles, I loved it! They make salt &pepper calamari, fish and shrimp. All are delicious and not too spicy. I love Ming's and recommend without reservation. read more

First time here and the food was pretty solid. Started with the West Lake minced beef soup and also had the beef chow fun and the shrimp with lobster sauce. The soup might have been the best version I have had - small bits of carrot, water chestnuts, and mushrooms made every spoonful delicious. The beef chow fun had a good wok hei flavor. Will need to try other dishes read more

Very good basic Cantonese food, very fresh and presented in an appealing way. It's a small cozy place, nicely decorated, and is located in a shopping area with plenty of parking. I had the lunch special, fish fillets with bitter melon in black bean sauce. It's one of my favorites! You don't often find this and I was so happy to see it on the lunch menu! Hubby had the beef chow fun which was solid. The service here is great. The staff is very nice and very accommodating. Hubby was just getting out of an appointment nearby and I told them he wouldn't get here until 5 minutes before closing but they said to have him come anyway, they would cook up his food now and to take his time. What great service! read more

Good food! I truly found my favorite Chinese food in this area. I grew up in Oakland and the city, and it was hard finding good Chinese food in Pittsburgh concord area, and this is it! a drive but, worth it. I thank my neighbor for recommending this place. read more

It's been a while since we ate here, and I forgot to review it then! But I am reminded that we need to visit again very soon! The service was wonderful! They were busy but very quick and friendly. The food is delicious and priced well. The decor and cleanliness are top tier as well. Do yourself a favor and check it out the next time you have a hankering for good Chinese food. read more

We went to Ming's in Pleasant Hill after seeing many great reviews. The restaurant's appearance is very nice, both outside and inside. We stopped in to try their weekend lunch specials. The staff was very friendly and quickly refilled our tea kettle with hot water. The Sweet and Sour Soup was a great start. My Crispy Ginger Chicken was excellent, though I did ask for extra spicy sauce to give it more heat. My wife loved her Yu Shaing Chicken. The restaurant is super clean and well decorated. We completely enjoyed the experience and the food. read more

Mings is a classic for a reason! Been ages since I have dined in. Great fast service with classic American Chinese dishes. We started with pot stickers and sizzling rice soup (my fav). Their crab ragoons are also great! The Mongolian beef could have been spicer but was good. Love the garlic chicken and broccoli with white sauce. Their fried rice has tons of flavor. The hong noodles are the fav- crispy noodles that soften in a delish sauce with tons of meat. read more

May 31 2025 3.5 Stars My Son has been braging about Ming's so here we go. We ordered like four typical Americans. The Hits: 1) It is a small clean shop. Two bathrooms. Fast service. Not noisy (aside from my wife). The food servings look beautiful. 2) Hot and Sour Soup. As good as the best. Suprise! It has shrimp. 3) Honey Walnut Prawns-delicious. A large serving of plump prawns with plenty to share. Has walnuts up the Ying Yang. 4) House Special Fried Rice. Nothing special here but near as good as any I've had. The Misses: 1) Sweet and Sour Pork. Smallish pieces of somewhat dry pork with dry breading. Chewy. The sauce is not very sweet and seems a bit vinegary to me. 3) Salt and Pepper Calamari. Too crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. We asked for some sauce to try and save it to avail. 4) They put the rush on us to eat faster. The waitress spilled soup on the table and my plate in the process of pouring our soup unasked.. 5) Something made me feel uneasy both mentally and physically after eating here. I'm guessing msg but that's just a guess. 6) The waiter awkwardly holds and runs your payment credit card in front of you. He watches while asking electronically for a large percentage tip. You need to choose "custom tip" and then $0.00 if you want to leave cash like we do. Pro tips: 1) It is very easy to drive past the entrance which necessitates an extra mile and a U-Turn. 2) Don't take resturaunt advice from my Son. read more

Had a great meal with friends on Saturday night! We initially had 5 in our party and a 6th person showed up. They were great about accommodating the extra person. Everything was hot and fresh. This is my go-to spot for great Chinese cuisine! read more

Friday lunchtime with my elderly mom with Parkinson's, grumpy gentleman server. Food took over 30 minutes coming out in stages. Denied half and half rice and chow mein curtly, impatient when we were deciding what to take home. Food was sub par, ordered crispy ginger chicken, had zero ginger in it. Fried rice not great either. We used to come here when we lived in the area, won't be back. read more

The food here is excellent. It's worth driving from Walnut Creek in traffic to get takeout.

It's okay not the best went on a Sunday and they were busy. Not really friendly and food was just okay.

We have been coming here for years, but it has always been takeout. Today was the first time we actually ate in the restaurant. They get a five for their food as they always have, they get a five for their service. And just for the niceness of the staff. We had little kids and they always leave a mess and we appreciate when the restaurant has to take care of that. This is a great place food service and ambience. We will continue coming here for takeout and when we feel like eating in, this will be our place to come. read more

Still the best Chinese food in the area that I've tried! It's hard to go anywhere else when you know the service is top notch. We love take out but whenever we dine in we always say we need to do it more! Just great ambiance read more

Pretty decent Chinese Food. I was born and raised in San Francisco so my idea of "excellent "Chinese Food is tainted anywhere else. I usually take out and 99% of the time? My food has been pretty good! Only one time where the vegetables all burned, and the how fun was super dry. But they ended up bringing me another order to my home which I did not expect. I had just called to let them know that perhaps something went wrong? I had never gotten there food that was actually "burnt "they apologized and the owner brought me a whole new order. Thanks again! read more

Solid Chinese food and quick takeout orders. Ming's is a neighborhood cornerstone which is always reliable to get your Chinese food fix. Food is good and tasty. I enjoy their different types of fried rice, Mongolian beef and fried wontons. Classic Chinese decor if you want to eat at the restaurant with nice ambiance. read more

I had Honey Walnut Prawns, Ginger Chicken, Kung Pow Beef, Bbq Pork Fried Rice, Garlic Chow Mein, and Wonton Soup. Everything was very flavorful and fresh. It's honestly the best Chinese food I've had in the area. The interior is beautiful. It's inviting and comfortable. The staff was welcoming, friendly, and attentive. I had a great time and will definitely be frequenting. I'm super happy I found this place. It's absolutely a gem. read more

Finally made it to Mings! Went for lunch, the hype is real. We shared the crab bites, ginger chicken and some fried rice. Everything was fresh and delicious. The fried rice was light and fluffy, the ginger chicken coating was crispy and the chicken tender and juicy. Flavors popped. My atmosphere rating is because the restaurant was very noisy due to a very large birthday party, so hopefully when I go to try other items it will be quieter. Service was friendly if a bit slow (likely because of the big group). read more

I love Mings. Sometimes it is very busy and you have to wait a while. Food is reliably tasty. Lunch specials are a great value and have large portions. I wish they weren't closed two days a week. Service is almost always excellent. read more

I rarely ever leave reviews, but my experience here was bad enough that I feel the community should know. I ordered four dishes to go for my family, and honestly, every single one was a disappointment. The wonton soup was not even properly cooked -- the wontons were raw inside, which flavored the entire broth as raw flour. One of the meat dishes had vegetables that were barely cooked and chicken that was soggy instead of crisp. The chow mein was bland and completely forgettable. What upset me the most is that after eating, my whole family felt sick. When you spend good money on takeout, you expect food that's safe, properly cooked, and enjoyable. This was none of those things. I walked away feeling frustrated, upset, and like our money was wasted. I hope the restaurant takes this feedback seriously, because right now I couldn't recommend it to anyone. What to do with the leftover food - which still has a decent amount of food left? Unfortunately tossing them. read more

We have been looking for a local Chinese restaurant for the last few months. I found Ming's on Google Maps, and thought we would give it a try. I'm very glad we did. First, the gentleman that took the phone order was pleasant, and took the order, and repeated it back. When I went to pick it up, the Resturant was clean and welcoming both inside and out. The dining room was about 1/2 full, but the steady stream of takeout orders seemed to never end. The staff kept me updated on when my order would be out. When we sat down to eat, the food was delicious, still hot (I took it back to Walnut Creek), smelled great, and tasted even better. The price wasn't too bad considering the price of food now. We will definetly will return again. We finally found out go to place for Chinese. Thanks Ming's!!! read more

Ming's is a solid go-to for Chinese food takeout (I've not yet had a sit down meal there). Everything comes out fresh and high quality. Not the least expensive option, but reliable. And extra points if you can make Mr. Ming laugh! He runs a great restaurant. read more

What happened!?!? This place used to be good. I quit coming after the rat infestation a few years back. Same nice owner. Ming is awesome. I don't like writing this review but I feel it a duty. When I called in my order the woman was in such a hurry to get to the next item she cut me off when I was still saying the item name with umhmm, ok. She didn't get my order correct. That is not important. Bring back quality ingredients and a decent chef. I ordered 7 items. Mostly shrimp and noodles. All the food was bland. I appreciate that it wasn't salty but it all tasted like nothing except for the raw noodle taste on the wonton soup, chow fun and Hunan breaded shrimp. The salt and pepper shrimp had no flavor or spice at all. The shrimp was tiny and hard. It tasted like cheap, tiny farmed overseas shrimp. Not prawns at all! The chow fun and chow main tasted strongly of dish soap. Maybe in a collander in the dish sink!?!?!? Out of 6 of us, nobody could finish their first plate. Waste of money and the first time in my life I didn't save Chinese takeout for the next day. Also no to go soy, hot sauce, chopsticks, etc. Go to Yans Garden up the street if you want something in the area. I know labor and ingredient prices are up... but this place will be gone soon like this. Return things the way they were Ming! Please. Food went from good/decent to worst Chinese food I've EVER had (that's bad). read more

First time dining here. SERVICE: One of the male server was very nice and provided us with better service than the female server who was somewhat rude. We didn't order any beverages and she seem like she didn't like that. FOOD: Lunch Specials comes with soup (Hot & Sour Soup) and an egg roll. - Happy Family Delight with steamed rice - $14.00 - 2/5 stars - no flavor. Mixed vegetables (broccoli, zucchini, onions, carrots, scallops, squid and shrimp. Love this combination but wished it had flavor. I had to add soy sauce and chili sauce. - Walnut Prawns with Chow Mein - $15.00 This is battered and deep fried. - Mongolian Beef with Chow Mein - $13.60 Very good flavor. Better than the Happy Family Delight that I ate. read more

This is an excellent Chinese restaurant. I met some friends here for lunch and it was great. The ambiance in the restaurant is wonderful. The wait staff are attentive and helpful. The food was delicious. We all ordered from the lunch menu; it is one of the rare Chinese restaurants that offers their lunch menu on Saturdays. I had tofu with deluxe vegetables and steamed rice, one friend ordered sesame chicken and chow mein, and the other friend ordered Kung Pao chicken and chow mein. They ordered Arnold Palmers and I ordered hot tea; my hot tea came in a clear tea pot so I could see the blooming tea ball expand. Everything was lovely. We will definitely be back. read more

Great spot for Chinese food. Found this little gem while shopping in the area. We had a short wait, 3 to 5 minutes, when arriving towards the end of the lunch rush.

I went with my husband for lunch. We ordered wor won ton and beef chow fun. The shrimp in the won ton was cooked just right and the beef and chicken in it was very tender. The broth was very good. The won tons were small but okay. The chow fun was very good. It had what Chinese call wok hay. In addition to bean sprouts it also had broccoli. What was unusual was they charged $1 per person for hot tea. Usually only dim sum restaurants charge for tea. read more
