    Great noodle house in Rochester. Food has always been excellent. Try the szechwan wonton appetizer (it's in a peanut sauce). Prices are extremely reasonable (super cheap!) The interior decor leaves a lot to be desired. And the exterior of the restaurant needs a serious facelift (as does everything else along this stretch of Clinton). Nonetheless, the aesthetics and dinning environment actually seem to add to the authenticity of the place (in my humble opinion). Go to Mings!!

    I came here for the first time a few weeks ago. The place is small and cute. I give this place only 2 stars, here's why: -I was not impressed with the service- the lady asked us numerous times if we were ready to order a few minutes apart as if she was in a hurry to get us out. - I ordered the chicken phat Thai- I was not overly impressed with it. The chicken had some fatty parts to it which had me cautious every time I wanted a piece of chicken in the dish. The sauce did say it was on the sweeter side but I figured it would be true to more of a peanut taste which it was not, the sweetness was a bit overbearing and took over the rest of the flavors in the dish. - The service wasn't spectacular with having to ask for refills on water, not asking how the food was and just gave us the check without asking if we would like anything else. My two friends with us got shrimp lo mein and pan fried lo mein. I tried the shrimp one. Overall: I wasn't blown away by this place, I would choose other places before I chose to come here. Nothing stood out to me that would make me want to com

    Chef Larry @ work... the Picasso of noodles!

    What Mings does best, they do best... no comparison. I'm addicted to their Sesame Soy & my daughter swears their Sesame Chicken is the best. Spinach noodles with baby vegetables is a family fave, as well as anything Ho Fun. That said, if you want Pad Thai, go to Sak's or Phuket Thai...

    Most authentic Cantonese noodle of what I've tried in Rochester so far. The broth for the beef soup noodle and the sauce and cooking for the ho fun are legit. The fried tofu for the veggie ho fun was not so good tho.

    Szechuan Seafood with shrimp, scallops and calamari!!

    Wow! This place is a diamond in the rough! The service was friendly and the food was delicious! It was prepared promptly and the portions were generous! We'll definitely be back for more.

    First of all, why is Mings called Mings II in yelp? Mings Is my favorite restaurant in Rochester. When I have a noodle craving, there is absolutely no better place to go in Rochester. Start with the salt and pepper squid or tofu, the gyoza are fantastic as well. All the special noodle soup dishes are amazing. Generally I just ask for the chef's choice. Ming never fails to come up with some combination of noodles, meat and vegetables, at the perfect spice level (for me that's the level that makes your eye's sweat) that will put a big smile on your face. For a small, nondescript place, Ming really is a master.

    Kinda bummed ordered beef pho and it arrived with no broth just noodles , my friends did too. They admitted to forgetting rice but insisted the noodles absorbed ALL the broth. There was just beef no seasoning just small 2 inch noodles . They did come back and make us happy ! Gave us broth and rice! Kudos to the driver

    Was made to order later at night & very good. I wanted friend rice, cabbage carrots & spicy pork w/egg drop soup. Good price too.

    Portions were tiny, too salty, not authentic and for the price just not appropriate. Bad service.

    New Number One Chinese Restaurant - Full Review 1540 W…read moreRidge Rd, Rochester, NY 14615 Boss Fights and Bites Review Series First Impressions: The moment you walk in, you're hit with that classic takeout aroma - soy, garlic, sesame oil - you already know it's about to go down. The spot has that old-school Chinese takeout vibe: simple, clean, and focused on flavor, not flash. --- What I Ordered: General Tso's Chicken Shrimp Lo Mein Crab Rangoons Egg Roll Steamed Dumplings --- General Tso's Chicken: Sweet, spicy, and crispy - exactly how it should be. The sauce had a good kick without overpowering the flavor. Chicken was tender inside with that golden crunch. Easily one of the best in the area. Shrimp Lo Mein: Noodles were cooked just right - not too greasy, not too dry. Shrimp was fresh and had good bite. Could use a little more garlic or soy for depth, but still solid. Crab Rangoons: Creamy, crunchy, and packed with flavor. These were a hit. You get that satisfying crunch with the creamy crab filling - not overly sweet like some spots do. Steamed Dumplings: Soft and juicy with a flavorful pork filling. Dipping sauce was on point. Not doughy, just right. Egg Roll: Golden and crispy with a nice balance of cabbage and pork inside. Great with the duck sauce. --- Pros: Big portions, great value Fast service Hits all the nostalgic Chinese takeout cravings Clean and well-packaged Cons: Lo mein could use a little more flavor Limited seating (best for takeout) --- Final Verdict (8.9/10): New Number One Chinese Restaurant is bringing the heat. Classic Chinese-American dishes done right. If you're craving comfort food that hits every time, this place delivers - literally and figuratively. Perfect for a late-night boss fight meal or chilling after a long grind. Let me know what YOU always order from your local Chinese spot - and drop your suggestions for the next food battle

Both qualities that I tend to like as long as a restaurant is clean... and Chen's was. The food was decent but nothing special. The garlic sauce didn't taste like garlic... More like brown sugar really. The sweet and sour wasn't great either. To be fair, the friends that we went with loved their dinners. The killer was the rude server. We had barely finished eating and weren't planning to linger but apparently finishing our drinks and chatting for five minutes was a bit too much for him. He told us that there were customers waiting and that we had to leave. I might note that there were a few empty tables at that time but even if there weren't that poor behavior was uncalled for. We won't be going back to Chen's.

Street parking is available, no charge for that. We encountered construction so we had to drive around for a bit but it was worth it. Seated immediately one arriving, we went with a couple appetizers- my personal favorite, the scallion pancake and the steamed bao with BBQ pork belly inside. That comes two to an order so it worked out nicely. Both were exceptional. The scallion pancake is like no other. Extra crispy, incredibly flavorful- and I love their dipping sauce. Vinegary, sweet and sour. The buns were pillowy soft and the pork belly was tender and full of that smoky BBQ taste. For entrees, we chose the Kung Pow Shrimp and the Singapore style curry noodles that came with shrimp, bbq pork, and beef. Both dishes were plentiful. The shrink was definitely spicy, you can see with all of the red chilies in the sauce, with the peanuts and celery pieces cut on the bias for a classy look. The portion on the Singapore noodles was very hefty...we upgraded our rice to fried rice so we had a lot of food today. All in all, this was an enjoyable visit. Since I am headed home tonight I wanted to be sure I had enough food to last me the rest of the day until I get back to ATL. This place ALWAYS delivers! Support small businesses!
