Editorial Review for Ming's Cafe – by Robin Barr Sussman
The Scene
Don't be surprised if you have to wait for a table at peak times--flip through the good reading material or gaze at the television for a spell. The utensils are plastic and the parking is tight at this pint-sized quickie, but the large portions and low prices make up for it.
The Food
Made to order and never greasy, these crispy chicken or vegetarian marvels are the best in their class. The soulful wonton soup is certainly no slouch either, with handmade wontons as large and fluffy as a cloud. Expect clean-tasting, crisp veggie stir fries with every breed of vegetable included and notable lo mein in various meat combinations. Check out the blackboard for Ming's gourmet specials like impeccably fresh sea bass coated with Japanese breadcrumbs and ginger sauce, orange beef or mushroom chicken with black bean sauce.

My friend does business over in that area often, and calls just to tell me he's eating at Ming's, just to make me jealous. I absolutley love all of their food, and, by this point, I think I've worked through all of their chicken dishes, having yet to find one that had a bad taste. Some weren't my thing, but they were all good, and cooked to order. My favourite fall backk meal is just a nice big plate of their unbeatable chicken fried rice with an eggroll. I LOVE it and highly reccomend it!
Pros: Best chicken dishes anywhere!
Cons: Parking, seating.

my favorite Chinese food place! yes, it is tiny and sometimes parking can be a problem, but for quick and tasty Chinese food it hits all the right spots. there is a little dry erase board that shows the day's specials (take a look), but I always go back for the Gen. Tso chicken combo. includes drink, sweet and sour chicken, and fried rice. they use white meat in the chicken, it's not painfully spicy (pleasantly tingly I suppose, since not a huge fan of spicy food), and nice medley of jullianed carrots/onions/zucchini. however, found the Chinese green bean special with beef BLAH. friend had Singapore noodles, which was curry and rather spicy (but does clear your sinuses).
