January 29, 2026 - I tried out Ming's restaurant. It serve Hong Kong style fast food. As per usual, when I don't know what to get, I usually get the first thing on the menu, which was the lemongrass pork chop. It comes with a side of borscht soup and a milk tea. Overall, the food was really good. The soup was nice and hearty. The portion was huge. The pork chop was nice and tender and the vegetables were crunchy. read more

This establishment has been around for 18 years!! It was our first time at this restaurant, and it gives a cozy old school hk cafe vibe. The prices are fair, and their meals come with a hot drink!Cash only for certain promotional priced items. My favourite item during my visit was their 海南雞飯 ($14.5). It was juicy and flavourful! I'd def order it again. . read more

Came for the 18th anniversary lunch promo. Got the cream sauce fish baked rice. It wasn't bad. $10.88 with soup and drink for their promo. I don't know how long the promo is for, but it for dine in only. I also got the salt and pepper pork with rice and they gave a decent amount of pork. It was not bad considering it was my first time going there. They charge for take out container and also take out cup. It filled up pretty quick for their lunch special. Will come back again. read more

A Chinese restaurant that offers food at very reasonable prices. They offer many different dishes to choose from. They are currently offering lunch specials for $10.88 comes with soup and drink. We ordered a deep fried spicy salt and pepper pork chop on rice and a homestyle stir fried vermicelli noodles. Both were pretty good and the portions were decent. However, I wasn't quite pleased with the overall service. When I tried to order the vermicelli without onions, they said they couldn't make that request. Other than that the food is still good so I'll be coming back to try out the other dishes. read more

Came here for breakfast around 10 am on a Sunday. There was no line up, and a few empty tables. We were a party of 10 and had to split up between two tables. The food is very average. The satay vermicelli wasn't really flavourful. The egg with toast was a little dry. The instant noodle with sausage and egg was good, but you can't really go wrong with that. Portions are average, not really big. I got the iced lemon tea with my meal and it was really good. The service was mediocre, staff were quick but not really friendly. The food did come out pretty fast though. read more

It's been a while since I've dined here, so I decided to order a quick bite from UberEats here tonight. I ordered minced meat with spaghetti on the app, but I got minced meat with rice instead. My meal was filling and delicious, but the only downfall was that my order came with rice instead of spaghetti. read more

A tasty mom and pop shop Hong Kong cafe with all the staples and classics you can think of! The owner of the restaurant is super nice and friendly. She came to take our orders quickly and the food also came out pretty fast. What we got: Tomato borscht soup 5/5 - I loved that the borscht soup had large chunks of beef in it compared to other Hong Kong cafes Fried chicken with pepper sauce on rice 5/5 - Perfectly fried chicken cutlet served on a bed of rice. The black pepper sauce was great and delicious. Baked pork chop on rice 5/5 - This is a classic and a must get at any Hong Kong cafe. I liked that there was cheese baked ontop of my rice. Nice and saucey for every bite. Beef fried flat noodles 4/5 - Another classic dish that you can't go wrong with. This was great for sharing. Fried pork chop & wings with fries 4/5 - Can't go wrong with anything fried. These were crispy and delicious but nothing spectacular. Overall a great place to dine at if you're looking for some homey Hong Kong cafe classics. Love supporting small local restaurants like this. read more

came here, it's a decent HK cafe spot. I tried the tomato sauce baked porkchop on spaghetti for $12.50. It also came with soup and a hot drink (you could add $1 for a cold one). the price is decent and the food is alright. However, there was nothing that particularly stood out to me and in a food plaza such as new kennedy square, it's simply not good enough. overall rating: 3.5 stars. read more

I decided to take advantage of the UberEats deal and ordered several dishes from Ming's. It's been a few years since I've had their food, let alone takeout. My meals did not include soup or tea. I ordered the 3 baked rice dishes and one stir fry beef rice noodle. The rice noodle dish was great, portions were huge and comparable to dining in. As for the baked rice dishes, the ox tongue and pork were flavourful and good. Huge amount of rice that you could have as leftovers. I do not recommend the fish and spinach baked rice since there was minimal fish in that dish and it was mainly sauce. The food arrived piping hot! If you don't want to wait in line but craving some HK cafe food then this might be a solution for you! read more

*3.5 There are quite a few hk cafes in this plaza where Ming's is but the last two times I have gravitated to this one. The prices are affordable and the portion sizes are generous and can we talk about variety?! They have so much to offer! I do also like how they have a decent selection of afternoon tea specials that are at a fair price. I do enjoy their baked pork chop rice although, they could stir fry the rice a bit more with some extra egg. As for the afternoon tea menu, I have tried their satay beef with vermicelli in soup and deep fried pork chop with fruit salad. The food was not spectacular but still satisfying. The hubs usual at a HK cafe is the hainanese chicken rice. Overall the dish was good but the sauces do need some work compared to the other cafes in the area. Lastly, I did order a party tray recently and I do have to say the prices were fair. The chicken wings tray was tasty and the guests did enjoy it very much! read more

Solid breakfast place, the prices are incredibly good wow! $7.99 for a breakfast noodle soup with toast, small omelette and milk tea/coffee/soy milk. I'm very impressed. The taste is pretty good but nothing too special, but hey, the price is very good. read more

This review is based on a takeout experience. Ordered their signature baked pork chop in Hong Kong style. The food was made fresh to order. While I enjoyed the taste, I did feel the dish had room for improvement - the pork chop had more fried batter and fat rather than meat. This place wouldn't be my first choice given the number of other HI style cafe in and around the area. read more

Typical Hong Kong Style "Cha Chaan Tang" that still have good price and good quality. A set meal with Soup, Baked Rice and a drink for $13.50+tax. The soup still have a strong taste of tomato and with little bit of vegetables and meat. I think it tasted great. Baked Rice - Good portion and tasted quite good compare to other restaurants. The spaghetti could use a bit more sauce. With increasing cost of food...etc. This restaurant still deliver good quality food with affordable price. read more

There are many chinese cafes in this plaza, and this was the one with the shortest line-up. To be honest, that should have clued me in to their quality but I really didn't want to wait more than 45 minutes to eat. Pros - Short lineups lols - Food portions are decent, I actually couldn't finish my meal for lunch - You get your usual drink and soup. The Hong Kong borscht soup is one of the best I've had at this plaza, it's a must order (and free) - Washrooms are relatively clean Cons I'm going to write in sentences so that you understand me lol. The food was mediocre at best, most things were pretty bland. My partner ordered steak on rice and it was pretty chewy; I think we could have done a better job with Costco meat. As for me, I ordered baked rice with Portuguese sauce and it tasted more like coconut sauce lols. Overall, nothing was horrible, but I think I'll wait an extra 30 minutes for one of the other HK cafes. read more

Being stuck at home during covid, i reminisce the days of going out to my favorite spots and so this place was on my list of "restaurants most missed". What do I miss? These two dishes! Baked to perfection, their hong kong style pork chop baked rice (or spaghetti) is a must try. Generous amount of pork chops on a bed of soft and fluffy fried rice smother in a rich tomato sauce with cheese on top. I think that vivid description is worth salivating over! Their Puff pastry soup is worth a try as well! A rare gem these days at cha chang teeng around Toronto/Markham, this pipping hot soup is both comforting and warming. What's great about this is that the Puff pastry soup is hearty on its own if you want something light. As you break through the outer layer to get to the soup, soak some of the Puff pastry in the soup so that it captures the flavour from the cream of chicken and mushroom. I give this a thumbs up and recommend you try it. Let's show our support during these tough times by visiting local eateries and showing that we care. read more

Had a craving for HK style sizzling plate but good ones are difficult to find anymore. This restaurant has been around many years but first time reviewing. As usual inside decor in these places are not what you expect but still relatively clean and spacious. Of course to satisfy my craving ordered the mixed Pork Chop, Chicken Wings and Hot Dog hot sizzling plate in gravy sauce. One of the key experiences ordering this dish was to watch the waiter pour the gravy on the hot plate while you witness it sizzling and steam right in front of you. Perhaps for safety reasons and to not burn you it was done at the table aside. Bummers. Meal comes with choice of vegetable, cream or chinese soup along with dinner bun and side choice of fries, rice or spaghetti. Decent but gravy was very salty. Also ordered the baked Pork Chop with Spaghetti. Meat tender and very saucy so wasn't bad at all. Both meals came with complimentary hot beverages or upgrading to cold drinks for $0.75. My go to is Ice Lemon Tea, shockingly tasty actually. Overall for the price you pay you get decent value since portion is good size. However taste could be improved. read more

There was a long line up next door at Blue Ocean Cafe so I went to Mings yesterday at 10 AM. Pretty sad photo for $8.75 and there was no toast. That is a hot dog and most places offer a sausage for breakfast. I think that is a thin slice of salami which I did not enjoy. Hash Brown tasted like chicken wings because they used old oil. Fresh cantaloupe was acceptable. HK tea was excellent. The restaurant was very clean and the service was OK, but the place was empty. I should have waited 5 minutes in line for very good next door. read more

Typical HK restaurant that's located in the busy Chinese Peachtree Plaza. They've got an extensive menu ranging from typical HK rice to noodle combos that come with soup and tea. The service is fast, friendly and efficient. Prices are extremely reasonable and their portions are sufficient. Ambiance is clean and they owner, Ming is always providing you recommendations if you're unsure. Only thing is I wish they would also accept debit as this is a Cash-only establishment. read more

Fav HK diner for dinner in my books. Usually I brace myself for disappointment at HK diners because they're not known for their service or their quality of food, but this one made me question if I was dreaming. Service was very fast and staff are friendly. They close at 10 and we were staying because the show on their tv ends at 10. We hurried to get our bill but they were like, that's ok the show isn't over, feel free to stay. Like how nice is that! Dishes came promptly too, meaning that the dishes were hot when they arrived. Yay! Decor is... Well, let's just say this isn't a place you'd want to set a candle lit dinner. But I mean it's a HK diner so what were y'all expecting? OKAY SO THE FOOD. Cheap, and big portions! I love that they have enough toppings for my udon. Actually, they gave a lot and I'm so glad. Their fish in cream sauce on rice was great and very cheesy. My fav! Also, their pork and chicken chop with garlic sauce on rice qas great too. The sauce wasn't too strong. It was aromatic and delicious. But lemme tell you about the satay chicken udon I had. Oh my goodness. So many toppings and they had strips of green and red pepper to help complicate the taste. The noodles weren't oily. You could actually taste the gusto the chef put in when he was cooking this delectable dish in his wok. Oh my gosh. Definite 5/5. And then! We had free dessert! It was my fav. I have to say, this is a very unique recipe of coconut sago and I love it. This coconut sago has taro chunks and egg. The egg was the truly unique bit because it actually made the dessert feel smoother and it made the whole thing more aromatic. Usually I despise taro with every fibre of my being but not today! My mom even said this may be the only time I did not puke at taro. My dinner was $9.50, came with a hot drink (I chose lemon water), a soup (I chose cream of veg but they also have Chinese soup), and if you're lucky, a dessert. What a deal, especially with the amount of food i got! If you're a skeptic of HK diners like I am, please come to this place for dinner. It will change your mind. I will definitely come back. I mean this isn't my first time here, lol. read more

I came here with my mom today for afternoon dining. I will never come back here again. Why? The service is terrible. (Attached photo of rude waitress) The food was edible, but very watery.

3.5 stars! 4 for their friendly service, 3 for their food. Everything is reasonably priced and portioned. Food tasted pretty good though not spectacular. I ordered take out today. We had the Hk style baked pork chop rice and baked meat sauce spaghetti. They were far from gourmet but brought back childhood memories. A set lunch also came with soup and a drink for under $20 including tax. Most Hk style restaurants are not the best in service, but not this one. I've had nothing but praise for them each time I visited. Today I decided to ask how the pork chop was fried- is it battered? The lady who took my order became giddy and asked a more senior staff to come on the phone to answer my question. Will definitely come again. read more

Overall - 2.5/5.0 I have always passed by this restaurant and finally decided to give it a try as I was craving for some baked porkchop rice and was curious about this place. Went there on a Sunday night and it was pretty empty other than a few tables occupied. In essence, my porkchop rice was mediocre. First bite was decent but after a couple more it went downhill from there. The initial flavourful feeling was actually due to an intense amount of MSG - even the rice itself had an aroma and aftertaste of MSG. The porkchop was thick and plentiful but had too much batter on it. The frozen peas were overdone and had a weird texture - I had to pick them out from the rice. On a good note, my iced lemon tea was good - plenty of tea flavour and not overly sweet. As well, I was surprised that I also had a choice of dessert which I ended up choosing the taro coconut milk sago - also quite decent but not enough to bring them up to a 3* as the main entree really fell short. read more

Arriving at 10:15am-ish on a Saturday morning, we needed to wait about 15 minutes to be seated. We already came here quite early because right after we got in, a ton of people flowed into the restaurant. Chinese newspapers are free of charge all week round as long as you dine here! Yay! If you're the type to spend money on newspaper, there you go - get it from here. I ordered from the Ming's Super Breakfast which is from 7am to 11:30am and I got letter O, which was beef in satay sauce vermicelli, scrambled egg and ham+butter and toast for $5.50. In addition to that, you get a coffee or tea for free, $0.75 extra for a cold beverage, $0.75 extra for change to instant noodles and $0.50 extra for toasted bread. We honestly waited like 2 minutes for our drinks to come after we ordered and like less than a minute after, the food came. The food wasn't very hot, it felt like they prepared all of this already and just scooped it from a mildly warm area, but bonus for the speed it is served at. The beef satay didn't have enough satay in it, I feel. In addition, the soup wasn't hot, just warm. The toast, was not toasted, as you would need to pay an extra $0.50 for toasted bread...which is a little extra. The egg with ham was literally a scrambeled egg mixed with small ham slices. Don't expect to sit here for a really long time. The food isn't really good, but the fact that newspaper is free and food comes SUPER fast is a bonus! read more

Awesome place for breakfast! From 7-11:30 AM they feature a breakfast menu. Ordered beef brisket rice noodle ($6.50) and oatmeal with egg sandwich ($5.99). It's a sweet little Hong Kong style cafe with the standard menu items and an HK tea or coffee that comes with the entree. The beef brisket was quite good. Satisfying and met expectations adequately. The oatmeal is very milky - exactly how I love to eat it. HK milk tea is perfectly strong and flavored. Nothing notable about the service. Common to most cafes of this style, the news is on in the background. Its also located at Kennedy/Hwy 7 plaza - can be packed depending on time of day. read more

I'm a regular at Ming's Restaurant because of its location and efficiency in serving food. I can only speak for their breakfast menu since I come for breakfast only, but I usually order the "Lai Wan" style congee with "Fried Turnip Cake" or "Vermecelli noodles". The congee is a heaping portion for one person (around 2 1/2 bowls worth). The turnip cake is a hit or miss at times and the vermecelli is what you can expect of fried vermecelli with egg. From their menu, you can either choose a congee (eg. LaI Wan, Pork Liver, Fermented Egg) plus a side dish (eg. Fried Turnip Cake, Vermecelli noodles, Chinese Fried Dough) for around 5$. Other combos on the menu include western style dishes (Eggs with ham/sausage plus pasta that comes with a drink) for around the same price. The food itself won't be pleasing to the eye if you're used to upper scale restaurants, but for the price and speed at which you get your food, it can be overlooked. The environment itself is very noisy. It's a typical chinese fast food restaurant where it is expected that once you're done your food, you pay the bill and leave. Quick and efficient. Overall, My family and I come back to this restaurant because we are the type of people that just want our meal and want to head out shortly after. It's a good quick stop place. It's not somewhere to go if you want to sit around and catch up with friends. Not bad! I will definitely be coming back. read more

This experience was more than horrible. First off, we came to this plaza with the intention of eating at another Hong Kong style restaurant but unfortunately they were close for renovations. So, we decided on Ming's for lunch. HUGE MISTAKE!!! I order the beef with rice in onion sauce. Some part of the beef wasn't even cooked! And I'm not talking about the personal preference of medium rare, well-done, etc. It was f*cking RAW! Same goes for my friend's pork chop! Some parts were uncooked! Never going back again! And service was terrible as usual! read more

It is really 3.5 stars. This is a HK style cafe that has a traditional-HK-style-cafe decoration, as opposed to contemporary new age. I have grown to like this decoration style; it is homey and unpretentious. I ordered a stirred fried noodle ($7) for lunch. It tasted decent/okay/not bad. In short, it won't wow you but you won't hate it for sure. But the portion will wow you. Hugh portion - 2 meals in 1, or 2 ladies can share 1 order, or 1 guy can get really full. The services was super friendly and efficient. The waitresses actually smiled there. +0.5 star for enthusiastic service attitude. read more

Came here for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon. They have free wifi! We got the Lemongrass Pork with Noodle soup, Baked Chicken On Rice with Tomato Sauce, Beef Brisket on Rice and Assorted Seafood and Mushroom Soup with Puff Pastry and Garlic Bread. Their items are quite pricey at $8.99 for Beef Brisket on Rice, and another $1.00 extra for a cold drink, but it comes with your choice of Cream Soup or Borscht. Both soups were okay, nothing special. The Baked Chicken on the Rice tasted funky and did not taste pleasant at all. The Lemongrass Pork was pretty good and flavourful. The HK Milk tea was pretty bland and had no significant tea flavour and was highly diluted by the large amount of ice they had put in it. Everyone had gotten their dishes except for me, who ordered the Puff Pastry Soup. I know it requires time to make, and after 30 mins we asked the waitress about it. She said it takes time, and so we waited another 20 minutes, with everyone finishing up their meals and drinks, and still nothing. We inquired once more, and she went into the kitchen to check which took another 10 minutes and she came out saying the kitchen forgot our order. We decided to cancel it as we didn't want to wait any longer and everyone had finished their food. At that time I was quite disappointed and a bit frustrated, but mistakes happen and they did apologize. I still would not return however, especially after reading that forgetting orders are a common thing here. There are plenty of other options nearby in the plaza. read more

Got here at around 11:45am and missed the morning specials but everything here is pretty reasonably priced so not much difference anyway. Instant noodle with satay beef and scrambled egg sandwich $6.50 - good amount of beef which was soft and tender. The egg sandwich was a bit dry. Usually its dripping in butter but its almost like they forgot to put butter in this one. Still tasted good though. Smoked salmon toast with fusilli in vegetable soup $5.99 - pretty average dish. The smoked salmon tasted okay but they litterally just threw it on the plate with the toast. Looked weird like the plate was incomplete. Curry beef brisket with rice $8.50 - Tasted okay and the beef was pretty soft and tender. All meals came with milk tea. Good for cheap, fast meals read more

Be very careful with their price scam! Went there with friends recently. The prices on their menu are very good, but once you order a dish, they will ask you whether you want to personalize the flavor, e.g. change from honey flavor to ketchup flavor. Once you accept their recommended flavor, they charge you double and wouldn't tell you until bill comes. Very dishonest business, be careful! Date of visit: March 2021 read more

Cheap and big portion is a plus for anyone! This is the place for it, excellent service and large selection of rice, spaghetti and fries. Most meal comes with a selection of soup and drink.

I usually come here for afternoon tea. My family and I come here before or after groceries since it's close to foody mart supermarket. It usually gets busy and full by 3:00; I recommend coming exactly at 2 or 2:10 if you want to grab a booth. I've noticed that if you order a slightly bigger dish like "stir-fried black pepper beef spaghetti" they will assume that you won't be sharing and provide only one fork and spoon. But asking for small bowls and utensils are easy and the staff are friendly. I've also noticed when there are a lot orders the smoke that comes from the kitchen is quite strong and since the place isn't too big, the odors spread and absorb into your clothes. I suggest if you're not a big fan of the greasy cooking fumes don't go when it's peak hours. read more
