Not technically in Knoxville, but this is probably the best "American style" Chinese food in Knoxville.First: do not get take out. Eat inside. Everything is so crispy, sauces are perfect, but it's but going to be the same in your hotel room.Possibly the best shrimp toast and general tso chicken I've ever had. To notch.

They have my favorite chicken pad tai out of anywhere! It's usually quiet and relaxing when I've gone. Staff is friendly and the service is pretty quick. Overall, they are reasonably priced, and the serving sizes are generous. I recommend giving them a try if you've never been.Vegetarian options: Tofu options

We have frequented the Ming Tree for over 25 years and have always found the food to be consistently good. On Jan 10, 2024, paid for lunch for 3 people about $33 while getting enough food to take some home. They just recently renovated the restaurant to make it look very nice.

Most disappointing meal I have had in all the different Oriental restaurants that I have eaten at. Ordered Chicken in Garlic Sauce, only to no Garlic Sauce. Just plain chicken in white sauce. The irony is the fortune that came afterwards. See
I’m from Franklin Tn … Franklin thinks they are fancy and the best but this Asian food by far exceeded my expectations…. So very good I hade the family meal sweet and sour

Portion and quality of the meal definitely is not worth $50 for two. The server was great but this restaurant is on a know return list. Not worth the expense.

Food and hot and sour soup had black hair in it , soup seems to have changed no flavor at all. Very disappointing have eaten there for years ,the cooks need to wear hairnets.

An update to comments below.... Ming Tree has recently done some remodeling, which has improved the esthetics and atmosphere. Food is still great, had the Pad Thai Beef for lunch.We've eaten at Ming Tree for many years and it's come to be a comfort restaurant. The food is consistently good, although service can slow depending on the crowd. The House Chicken has been a long time favorite,but I've started trying some of the Thai food as well. Tonight I had the Sweet Basil Chicken. Flavor was great and just enough heat.
