Friendly atmosphere and excellent service. Food is delicious!

Not sure what the low ratings are for, this place is great!! The Sweet & Sour Chicken was amazing, with a very light breading so it wasn't heavy with excess. There was no taste of anything else cooked in the oil or anything weird like that. The portions were what you would expect for the price. So, call this a fake review or whatever, but the majority of people have the same experience I did, so read into negative reviews carefully.

This restaurant is getting false reviews! Probably the worst Chinese restaurant I ever ate at. Im really not exaggerating. They use the oil they cook seafood in to cook meat in. If you have allergies watch out! The kung pao chicken was a joke! It tasted fishy and they didn't even use garlic or ginger. Please! I beg everyone! Don't waste your money. I wish I could give this place negative 3 stars. The people who like this place don't know any better or they are giving false reviews?

Well established family business. Clean and consistent. Fair pricing. Quality food. ?

Rather bland and generic Chinese food. No real character. No kick in the things that are supposed to be spicy and no "bite" at all in the sweet and sour.

Went back here after a long hiatus, and was pleasantly surprised by the quality and freshness of the food. Had sesame chicken which was well flavored, crispy, and tangy; chow fun with black bean sauce; and wok-fried green beans. Prices were also very reasonable at about $30 for everything.

The service was really fast (hence the 2 stars) and the customer service was good. The chicken quality was not good, and the portion sizes were extremely small. The egg rolls were spring rolls, and dumplings seemed like they were frozen. Too expensive for what I actually received. Probably will not come back here.

This is one of the best Chinese places My family has been. Wonderful food all around. We had to force ourselves to get boxes and take home food. Personally the sesame chicken was the best one I've ever had. Everything was perfect

Chef Mings is an off the beaten path gem of a restaurant with a long standing and loyal clientele. All of the food is delicious and obviously prepared with so much love and care! Whether or not you are a vegetarian the tangerine tofu is a must try! Over the course of 20 years I have taken many family and friends there who also became fans not only of the restaurant but quite specifically of this dish--personally I have packed it in ice and brought it home in my checked luggage after having moved away from the Bay Area. Chef Ming and his wife Diana are both incredibly kind warm-hearted people. I'm a total foodie and this place ranks right up there! I always try to visit if possible when I am back in California. It is well worth going out of your way for. Highly recommend!

This is a neighborhood restaurant that has been in business for years with the support from the local community. The prices are fair, restaurant is very well kept, and food is delicious and tasty. Hot and Sour Soup, Chow Fun, Sesame Chicken, Pork Fried Rice and Green Beans are family favorites. Their take out throughout the Covid pandemic has been great with food hot and on time for pickup.

We ordered the lunch special and the woman who I talked to on the phone was upset with me when I didn't pick up my food right away and continued to lecture me on what time I called and what time she gave me to pick it up. The salad was drenched in so much sauce we didn't eat it, the hot and sour soup had no flavor to it, it was not worth it.

The lady that works there was the nicest person I've ever met. When I got in the car with my family and waited for our takeout, she asked if we were going to eat here or at home. We said we are eating at home in fresno. She was shocked and offered us seats inside the restaurant so we can eat there instead of traveling for 3 hours to eat. We enjoyed a delicious meal and were even offered to use the restroom if we had to. I hope to see more people in the world like the nice lady. Truly a heartwarming experience.

The dressing made in house is the best I have ever had. Lived across the street from Ming's for 5 years and ate there regularly. Moved 10 years ago, now I live in Sparks NV and can't get my fix. I would kill for the dressing recipe. The owner wouldn't share.
