We ate past the point of comfort and savored every bite. Our waiter was exceptional. He was able and willing to educate us about each dish, and after the meal shared stories of his immigration and work experiences. I woke to family calling to compliment the meal and the gathering. We highly recommend Ming's of Hatboro.

I've been eating at Ming's since the early 2000's. The food…read morewas never fantastic- but it was good. Not anymore. My friends and I recently stopped in for lunch. It was pretty bad. So much has changed. The prices have increased considerably- by as much as $3 an item. The boneless ribs were loaded with fat. I would honestly say that one rib was made up of more than 50% fat. The combo plates now come with just an ice cream scoop-size of rice, even plain white rice. The meals are about two small palmfuls. I remember when the plate was covered with food. What did I learn from my recent dining experience at Ming's? The food is subpar, the amount is smaller and the prices are higher. If you like Chinese/Asian food as much as I do, skip Ming's.

The sauce looked like chocolate or BBQ sauce in color and had a tomato-ketchup taste to it. I like exotic cuisine and flavors like citrus but this dish had bitter orange peel rinds in it that killed the flavor even more. Far from and a BIG step down for chinese-american cuisine.

Like dimsum and general tso chicken... they didn't give us soup spoon for dimsum but kinda late to ask for it and some dimsum was already tore in the bottom so soup was leaking through...which defeat the purpose of soup dumpling. And general tso chicken was average but the sauce was watery in the bottom. And weird fishy smell in water cup. I had to get different cup for it. Then it was better. Robot serving machine was serving food but the waiting staff put it on table for us. So i don't really know the purpose for the robot but it was fun.

Usually there isn't a menu and numerous servers are pushing carts throughout the restaurant and explaining what they are offering. That's half the fun. You have a chance to sample all kinds of dishes, usually small bites and can order as many or as little as you like. Here you are ordering off a menu like any other restaurant. It's not a bad thing but it's really not Dim Sum. The menu is large with many great sounding dishes. They had Peking Duck that you don't see on many menus and it was delicious. Well worth a try for an above average Chinese restaurant. BYO

Usually, we go to the Sang Kee Asian restaurant in Wynnewood PA. However, on this trip, we were…read moreplanning to head over to Elkins Park so we picked this location and this was our first trip here. We already knew that the menu was going to be different from our experience at the other location however we learned again not to judge a book by its cover. In this case, it's nothing like what we experienced over the years again at the other location. The area was a little dicey and the restaurant looks honestly it looks tired inside. However, I will say that we were very surprised with quality of our food. We make a couple changes on some dishes, but in the end, we were very, very surprised. We started off with the steam juicy buns in our case soup dumplings , next we had to shui mai and the dish that we did make adjustments to was the tofu mushroom bok choy instead of tofu we asked them to put in beef, leaving everything else the way it is intended and a wound up being an outstanding dish. Hence we recommended the owners to consider adding a beef mushroom bok choy dish to the menu.

My gf ordered…read moregeneral tsos and requested white meat (over an online order) She brought it home and it was like fried bread crumbs. You couldn't even chew it. I called and the girl working the phone was extremely nice and she said she would talk to the chef and would call me back. She called me back and said no don't offer them another dish made right. We use the very thinly sliced meat we use to make chicken and broccoli and since it's so thin it burns. They know this and they don't even do anything about it. We spent almost 50 dollars on one meal a side of white rice and edamame. They didn't even care that I said I will be throwing this out. Avoid this place at all costs! Terribly run! Terrible service! I feel extremely bad for the girl answering the phone that she has to work with people like this. I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THIS PLACE AGAIN!

Canton Palace offers authentic dim sum like the kind you'd find in Flushing, but right here in…read moredowntown Somerville, NJ! I went on a weekday for lunch. Both the dim sum menu and a lunch menu with standard Chinese restaurant fare were available. My party got the general tso's chicken from the lunch menu, and it was exceptional. Good-quality white meat with just enough spice. Heads up, though, the lunch dishes don't come with rice, so order that separately. From the dim sum menu, we ordered braised tripe with ginger & scallion, fried shrimp rolls, shrimp dumplings, steamed chicken buns, and crab meat soup dumplings. The braised tripe was a standout. It was cooked in a light yet flavorful sauce of ginger and scallion with the tripe's own broth. The delicateness of the sauce worked perfectly with the tripe. The dumplings were all great, especially the soup dumplings. The steamed chicken bun was the only thing I'd skip. It was on the heavier side, and the filling was just okay. The bill came out to about what I expected for the amount of food we ordered--$65 before tip. The service was friendly, and taking our order and getting the food was quick. After the food arrived, though, it was a little difficult to flag down a server to order more and later to get the check. Still, it was understandable given how busy they were, constantly collecting orders and putting out food. Overall, Canton Palace is a great find for anyone looking for this style of Chinese food outside of the usual New York neighborhoods.

As someone who cooks I was extremely disappointed. I should have sent back but they didn't seem to have any interest in our experience & there was a language barrier. Gets a star because hot and sour soup was fine and was heated appropriately and the sesame chicken with broccoli was good. Also can't give zero stars here...... wish I could. They charge $4 for rice and then grudgingly package it with leftovers. Entire restaurant had open tables but they stuck us against the servers alley that leads to kitchen. We had the staff behind us at a large table chattering away loudly while we tried to eat and talk. It was a mess. My husband paid the server in cash. They attempted to keep our change. I had to repeat myself multiple times asking for our change to come back. It almost seemed deliberate. So unprofessional. And yet my kind husband tipped the waitstaff generously; he's far kinder than I would have been. Not a class act restaurant. Will NEVER go back. REGRET that we chose this restaurant on our day out. =(

I'm writing this update, really as a reminder to me: **-- vegetable wonton soup is consistently delicious. But when I saw folks at another table order hot & sour I said, 'next time let's try it.' It was chock full of ingredients and with most of their clientele Asian, I suspect it's very good. **-- two years ago we ordered a dish with chicken, beef, shrimp and vegetables. It's what sold me on Lau Kee. Until today, I didn't know the name. "Triple Delight," our server said. **-- Mapo Tofu. (I neglected to take a photo.) Certainly good, but no different than other restaurants. I realized we had it here before. Next time, something else. But if YOU get it, and don't want it super hot, do tell the server. Staff speaks English, and despite being excessively busy, they've got everything under control. If you want steamed rice, ask for it. No charge, but not automatic. Good-sized portions, fair prices -- and YAY! Leftovers for me tomorrow.

Better than a lot of places in Flushing & Chinatown and even the San Gabriel Valley in CA! Highly recommend the Salt & Pepper Grouper. It's deep fried and has the same seasoning as the popular Fried Squid with Salt & Pepper, but better! The fish is much more tender than squid. The batter is crispy and not oily at all.
