Amazing Chinese food. Best in the East Bay. Very friendly. Nice atmosphere. Always happy with this spot.

WHOA BABY. WHOA BABY WHOA BABY WHOA BABY. My Uncle teaches karate right around the building @ Wahdojo and I had a little time to kill before watching him teach his students so I came to Ming's and ordered the steamed rice & honey walnut shrimp. Let me tell you... I never finish my food but this meal I was devouring so fast it was SOUL GOOD. The service is incredible and I knew I was in the right place because it was packed on a Thursday night. It was maybe 15 minutes for my food and it came out so fresh. The little waiting area is relaxing because you have the fish tank to stare at. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself & the family here! read more

Five stars is for the taste. However, when u order the 'Panfried rice noodles with beef", a small paper to-go box will be the size portions u can get, don't expect a big flatten recycle plastic to-go box. read more

Without question, our favorite Chinese restaurant in the Pleasant Hill, Walnut Creek, Concord area. The food is perfect, even the glass pots of tea with the blooming tea flower is wonderful, charming and delicious. We especially love some of the old fashioned Cantonese dishes including Chow fun with gravy. The restaurant is nicely decorated and cosy. It would be a nice place for a family birthday or even a date. Lastly, the service is exactly what we all want, they do not hover but take care of everything. We try to go to Ming's almost weekly, sometimes on a Sat. for lunch. Yeah, we really like Ming's! read more

My favorite is sesame chicken and sweet and sour soup. Their soup is the best. We typically find ourselves here around lunch time so you can find yourself and a friend eating for just under $20 on the lunch specials which is great and a lot of food. We always have left overs and our toddlers even eat off our plates and we still have some left. We've been coming here for years, sadly it's been less since we moved about 40 minutes away. But when we want Chinese and they are open we try to go to min read more

this place is a gem!!!! the food is just spot on. not your typical chinese restaurant at all...the calamari was super tender inside and lightly crispy outside, the shrimp chow mein is very good! smokey but not salty at all and not oily! the beef with varied veggies are exquisite! broccoli florets were vibrant and tender the stems were crispy and the hawaiian lemon prawns was just heavenly!!! i would definitely come here again!!! read more

One of the best chinese places in this area. Very consistently fresh tasting and fast service esp if you call ahead. I ordered half trays for a party and everyone loved it. Thanks, Mings! read more

Ming's is the best Chinese food restaurant this side of town. Mongolian Trio, chow fun noodles, and salt and pepper calamari top 3 dishes for me. The salt and pepper calamari is by far the best I have ever had. Super light crispy batter, jalapeños, green onions and perfect seasoning! Ordered for take out. Pick it up and drove 30 minutes, got home and they were still hot and crispy! Bravo!! Go and support them during those tough times . read more

Ming's - Salt and pepper calamari - Chinese Near Me - Pleasant Hill, California

Best chinese in the area. Fried wontons with meat! Salt & pepper fish fillet, spareribs, etc are all yum. Authentic, down home service.

If you love Americanized Chinese food, this is the place to be! The food here is fresh. It is like an upscale version of Panda Express except that this is an actual restaurant with seating. The prices are decent. What I really like is that there's a lunch special and a dinner special portion in the menu. The menu is in mostly English, which is a plus for me since I can't read Chinese lol. The specials on the menu are basically combination plates. The ambiance in this restaurant is very cozy. It is a very clean restaurant, which I love. I also adore the Chinese antiques in the restaurant. The owner is a huge basketball fan. (Hence that's why you will see trophies and the bobble head figures of basketball players.) This place makes me feel T home, seeing all the decor here. A big plus about this restuarant is that there is PARKING! They actually have quite a spacious parking lot in this area. The parking is free, but make sure you aren't parked in the limited parking spaces. Onto the actual taste of the food. I love the crunchy and sweetness of the walnuts from the honey walnut shrimp. The shrimps were delicious as well! It did not have too much mayonaise. The string beans were great. I love that they were not overcooked. The definitely had enough flavor and the garlic wasn't too overpowering. What I also enjoyed was that the food didn't feel overly greasy. The ginger beef wasn't my favorite, but it was still quite good. It was an item that my little brother ordered, which I didn't care for much. You could definitely taste some ginger and sweetness in the beef. There was also a mixed veggie with seafood dish we ordered and I really enjoyed the sweet peas in there. I love when my vegetables still have a crunch to them. The tomato beef was good too. I like that they use chunks of tomato, rather than slices. The beef was really tender. The onions and bell peppers add a nice touch to the dish. The Chinese broccoli with Chinese mushrooms were also great as well. I would not reccomend this dish to people who can't stand a little bit of bitterness in their veggies though. Chinese broccoli is naturally slightly bitter. The sesame pork was delicious! I really like that they did NOT skimp out on the sesame. Also, I'd like to mention that the portions here are very good. They aren't too big or too small. The flavor is also good! However, my favorite item from this meal is definitely the fried wontons! They're even aesthetically pleasing. They are shaped like flowers, but tastes soo good. Crunchy, crispy, creamy on the inside and warm! It even tastes great without the sweet and sour sauce. Overall, a very great experience and the owners are super nice! I would definitely come again! read more

Ming's is a local restaurant just 5 minutes away from my new home. He has a beautiful corner restaurant but it hasn't reopened for dine in since COVID and exclusively operates through his take out services. I called in my order of 4 dishes and the food was ready for pick up within 15 minutes. The food is packed to the brim, served hot, fresh and ready to go. The menu is quite extensive with a variety of options. They also have lunch specials under $10 which is my type of place. What we ordered: - Honey walnut prawns: You can't go wrong with huge shrimps and crunchy nuts. This is a childhood favorite of mine smothered in mayo. - Mongolian beef - another traditional fav of mine. It was tender and full of flavor. Pairs great with a nice bowl of jasmine rice. - Chicken Asparagus - my MIL loved this dish which I found to be too healthy for my palette. The chicken was juicy and the veggies paired well. - Tomato beed chow mein - a different take of the my all time fav pan fried noodles. I much prefer the pan fried version but this was tasty and satisfied my craving. I can't wait to return to sample more of the menu that that I'm a local with a mad craving for Chinese comfort food. Ming's is solid in my books. read more

Beat Chinese food in the area. I'm not sure what else to say. It's simply the best. We tried several other places and none come close to Ming's. read more

The service is good at Ming's, food well prepared and generous portions. It is always busy and with hardly any wait time.

We are new to the area and trying different places out. Ming's is the best Chinese food we've had in a long time. I recommend their basil chicken with mushrooms and the asparagus beef. Delish! Everything we tasted was so good and the service was excellent! read more

Legit Chinese food! Recommended by a friend Finally found it! My new go to Chinese restaurant Closed on Tuesdays though Huge serving even for lunch read more

This Chinese restaurant is always super busy. We usually call in our order to save time with waiting. What's great is after they take down your order they ask you what time you'd like to pick up your food. That way your food is not sitting around. Very convenient. Ming's is located in the Diablo View Plaza so there's plenty of parking as well. The restaurant is not terribly big so if you decide to eat in you'll most likely have to wait a few minutes to be seated. My absolute favorite dish here is the Salt and Pepper Fish. Lightly battered crispy fish fillet with the perfect amount of saltiness and jalapeños for heat. It's so tasty I didn't get the chance to take a pic of it. My kids eat it up. Should have placed two orders. Another flavorful dish I'd recommend is the Mongolian 3 Combo. Most places only offer Mongolian Beef. This has beef, chicken and shrimp. Now we're talking! I wish Ming's was closer to my house because we'd come here more often. But it's always a treat when we're in the area and craving Chinese food. read more

Went yesterday BEFORE the restaurant was closed down due to vermin. It was fucking disgusting yesterday. Then I find this... Now I know they were shut down for vermin in the building. Used to love this place. Must be under new ownership or something. Don't know how it could've fallen off this bad. read more

Always great food with quality service! Definitely recommend. It is typically busy but they are always appreciative and friendly.

Still No indoor dining Bummer Deal, This used to be a promising spot for Chinese, apparently not enough staff to operate indoor dining

Came here for Valentine's day dinner with the wife and kids (parent here = no candle light dinner). The restaurant was very crowded, with all the takeout orders waiting by the door and the people trying to get a table. There was no sign-in sheet or anything like that just. That was a little bit disorganized, but they had been in business for years so I am sure they have their systems in place. We were actually seated pretty quick. Service was good, best in my Chinese restaurant standards (see my other Chinese restaurant reviews). Food was decent, we order the Singapore curry rice noodles, broccoli beef, fried rice and shrimp with eggs. I had also ordered a BBQ pork appetizer, which was the one my big mistake. I was basically boiled pork with food coloring, and they added this sugar gravy with red food coloring over it. I drowned mine in spicy Chinese mustard. All the other stuff was very good. read more

Mings is a terrific choice for a quick lunch provided you get there before the rush. They get super busy and although they try, service becomes a bit spotty, totally understandable but not as enjoyable. The food is better than most chinese, fresher I would say and not so greasy. I usually order chowmein vs rice at other places but at Mings the noodles are fatter than I am used to and for some reason it irks me. So the fried rice it is! Everything I have tried is really good and the calamari ap is to die for. read more

Ambiance, cleanliness, service, and the food, so far the best Chinese food on this side of the bay. We ordered Chicken Fried rice, chicken chow mein, sweet n sour chicken and chicken with string beans. All delicious with left overs for next day. This our new go to for Chinese and worth the drive. read more

I came to Ming's over the weekend with my parents since we were staying in Walnut Creek. I was craving Chinese food and this place had pretty good reviews. I didn't realize it was such a popular place. We came around 7pm on a Saturday and the line was out the door. There's a lot of people with takeout orders too. They don't have a sign-up list to put your name down for a table, the owner just tries to remember who comes in first which is no small feat with all the customers who come by. Upon entering the restaurant, I noticed all the a wards and newspaper clippings on the wall that featured the restaurant. I guess it's well-known. They do have a plaque in the front that warns of the possible wait and service time due to the high volume of customers. We were seated in a timely manner but just as the plaque mentioned service did take a while, although they were friendly. Food: Honey Walnut Prawns- Good, they do make it a bit more crunchy than most places but it's still tasty Salt & Pepper Spare Ribs - Very flavorful and well-seasoned Crab Wontons- My favorite appetizer Chicken & Corn Soup Calamari Everything we had was delicious and flavorful. It hit the spot with my cravings! The bill can rack up pretty fast. The owner is nice too and once it calmed down a bit he made his rounds to check on all the tables. read more

one of the worst american chinese dinners ive ever had. all sauces were very watery and significantly lacking in flavor. it kinda seemed like the kitchen ran out of soy sauce and they just replaced it with brown colored water. had cashew chicken, broccoli beef, fried rice, mushu pork and some shrimp thing. the rest of my family begrudgingly ate it but i just tossed my plate. panda express would have been a thousand times better. read more

I love the garlic noodle and salt and pepper pork chop. This place never disappoints.

Best Chinese in the East Bay... customer service has always been top notch, just wish they'd open up and start serving inside, I used to drive from Vacaville just to eat there, always was worth it. read more

This is truly good old fashioned MSG goodness Chinese. The Mongolian beef and Kung pao combination are gems. The honey walnut shrimp is lathered with flavor! Definitely the best Chinese around! read more

Excellent Chinese food, full service now and dinner ware. Nice decor and background music. Please go for a reasonable meal and great atmosphere. read more

I've never been a huge fan of Chinese food (but it's always been a food of choice for family occasions, outings and gatherings), and I'm not sure why we haven't eaten here more often since we live so close to this spot. Ming's is a tiny restaurant located by Pleasant Hill Road in a quiet strip mall by Kumon and TJ Maxx, but it's a beloved spot serving up some generally tasty Chinese dishes. Chinese food tends to be very greasy and oily to me, which is why I don't choose to eat it often, but... It's tasty and you can't help but pig out when you've got loads of dishes in front of you. When you want Chinese food, Ming's satisfies. The taste, convenience, and guilty pleasure of satisfying your taste buds doesn't disappoint. Perhaps it's a little small and outdated of a place, but it's a popular local spot for take out as there is almost always a line whenever I pop in. I was satisfied and would probably eat here again if family orders take-out, but it's not a place I fell in love with. read more

I would normally give Ming's a 4 to 5 star review . I've been going there for years and it's been consistently good food. We ordered Broccoli beef and curry chicken . My wife and I was Shocked and disappointed . With the lack of flavor . It's taste like a diet plate and was bland at best . Perhaps we ordered the wrong entrée. We will re visit Ming's again but order are usual Honey walnut prongs and Mongolian beef I will give a fair review . I'm hopeful that it will be good . read more

Recommend this restaurant highly food was delicious the service was great recommend crab puffs, sweet-and-sour, pork, and chow fun very friendly, clean atmosphere read more

Love the general chicken, after going to Mings and tasting the food I don't go to any other Chinese food restaurants!

We were having a hankering for a Chinese buffet, and since we can't find any of those right now, we ordered a bunch of favorites from Ming's and created our own buffet at home. This worked out pretty well! We called Mings and placed our order and the person on the phone asked us when we would be by to pick it up so that it would be hot and fresh - awesome. In this order, my hands down favorite dish included the honey walnut shrimp. Easily the tastiest dish and as good as I've had anywhere else. Also, the snow pea beef ranked pretty high on my 'best of' list. You really need to get the garlic green beans, my order is never complete without them. And the pork fried rice was pretty good, too. I've had better cashew chicken, so I won't order that one again and hubby was playing hide n seek for meat in the bbq pork w/ assorted veggies dish. Of course we ordered WAY too much food, but we love the leftovers and there were no complaints about that. Glad that Mings has been able to stay open and I hope they continue to be. Next time, I plan on ordering the Mu Shu, I've heard good things. read more

Easy breezy process of ordering over the phone. I heard it was busy so I phoned in my order about an hour before I was expecting to eat. Unfortunately, but also fortunately? It was ready in 15 minutes lol. The owner seems cold in appearance, but his words and actions are warm. The food is delicious too! We ordered the salt and pepper pork chops, beef chow fun, honey walnut prawns with a side of steamed rice. Good portions. Beef chow fun was our favorite, but everything was really good. The only downside was the abundance of bones in our pork chops. I mean, yes it is pork chops... but we were hoping for more bone to meat ratio. Regardless the taste was good. Next time we'll probably skip the pork chops and try the fish fillet instead. That seems to be quite popular! read more

Ordered food to go, the food was good but the food proportion they sent us were insufficient. Ordered five things for four people for $68 and barely ate one serving and was still hungry at the end of our meal because there was not enough food. The to go black containers are small. Will probably not come back because there are other places to go just as good but will get what you paid for and come out with a full stomach. read more

So want to give it 3.5 stars because food was good but the service was just ok. Note we got here around 8pm and there were only a few tables occupied. Initial service was great - Quick to order and get the food, but after we got our food , continuously had to ask for tea and water. - 3 Food was good - 3.5/4 Top favorite Singapore Noodles right amount of chinese sausage n curry. 5 out of 5 Next was the fish fillet in black bean sauce. Fish was perfectly cooked and right amount of saltiness. 4 out of 5 Pot sticker was great nice n crunchy and lots of filling. 4 Spicy stir fried string beans had a good kick and not too oily. 3 Meat n corn soup was good. - 3 Mongolia beef was good. - 3 Walnut shrimp was good a little too battered but it was crunch n fried...can't go wrong with fried. - 3 Crispy Ginger Chicken a specialty was average basically a different version of orange chicken. - 2.5 Overall solid if slightly americanized chinese food (no chopsticks just forks at the table). Lots of parking next to TJ Maxx. Decor was ok and place was clean with a nice aquarium. - 3 read more

I've been going to mings for years. One of the best. Consistently good and priced reasonably. Friendly service and a lovely atmosphere. 4 stars because this is the kinda place you need to know what to order. A few dishes such as the popular gung pow chicken and sweet and sour pork are overly sauced and it tasted like a river of salted sea. Most fish dishes are skimpy on the fish and overuse onions. What I love is the Mongolian 3 way, ginger chicken, beef broccoli, hot n sour soup and those little "pork of love" pot stickers that will make your love handles look even more doughy. Mings won't disappoint. read more

Food- DELICIOUS. Very savory and I really love all the flavors, especially in the chow mein. I would recommend that as well as their Mongolian beef. Service- when busy they can be a little slow and I had to ask for certain items several times before I actually got it. They also have a sign at the front about being busy. read more
