I have to say this is the only place I have ever eaten that has never provided me a bad meal and that’s over a couple of decades, It’s extremely consistent every time I order. Product/food quality is high as well. For example, Instead of mystery meat sesame chicken like just about every other place in town Ming’s use’s chunks of all white meat chicken for theirs and I have never found those nasty gristle pieces in it ever. The food is so hot when it leaves their store that it’s still able to burn your mouth after a 20 minute car ride home. The veggies they use are always excellent and fresh. It’s just great food at a very reasonable price considering where things are at with inflation. And hell they even deliver it to your car door. Pull up and they bring it out when it’s ready, as a lazy American I can appreciate this.Look, a good chunk of people won’t take the time to post a good review because if everything goes your way you’re probably not even gonna think about the place you visited. But, if in your opinion it goes bad then people are more likely to vent about it. Don’t listen to the bad reviews, order some food and form your own opinion. You will never get 100% of the population to like any one thing on this planet.Everyone is different and has varying expectations and standards and most importantly tastes. We don’t all like the same food or flavors. If you’re on the fence order some food at least a couple of times. Try some different items and see what you think. I have been getting the general tso chicken and chicken fried rice the last few times and it’s been excellent every time. Overall though I have had a good portion of the menu over the years and it’s all very good.Parking: The lot is small but they get food out fast so I have never not been able to park when I pulled in.

Our son was in the hospital down here and we were sick of eating hospital food so we decided to treat ourselves and get some Chinese take out! What a mistake that was!! First of all, the food was not good. The chicken and the pork in the fried rice was so dry and the chicken in the lo mein was super rubbery. None of the dishes we ordered had ANY flavor. It was so disappointing... We threw $29 of food in the trash and went to bed hungry because we could not eat this food. THEN both of us woke up with terrible stomach aches... We've both been on the toilet since that night... Today is day 4 of being ill from eating at this place. I would strongly caution eating here. We barely even ate most of the food and yet it made us extremely ill for days.

Best Chinese food in Michigan. I always buy the General Tso and I love the spiiicy sauce and the unbreaded chicken. Wife had the pepper steak...very good. This was our first time here and we will be back.

I've desperately been trying to find a decent chinese-american take out spot in TC since the one closest to my house went downhill and this might be the one. The orange chicken and crab Macau were excellent, the egg roll was good, the fried rice was good, the moo shu pork was good but the Chinese pancakes left something to be desired maybe because this is not a popular item ordered here? (think flour tortilla), the Mongolian beef was not good and I won't order that again. The gentleman who took my order was very pleasant on the phone and when I picked my order up, even though I was there very close to closing time. I will be back, and looking forward to ordering some of the other items on the menu!

Food had no flavor and they overcharged for each item we ordered. It was my first and will be my last time going here. You lost a local customer.

There are lots of options for Chinese food in TC - but Ming’s Garden is by far the best. Their ingredients are so fresh and thoughtfully prepared. It’s really the greatest in town!

After reading other reviews I must have eaten somewhere else, because this was the worst Chinese food I've ever had. The dumplings appeared to come out of a pkg,the Thai fried rice was rather light on anything but rice. Also when I called at 11am and asked if they were open, the guy angrily answered they would be if people stopped calling.
