“- The Spicy Coriander soup was a refreshing change from the usual drudgery of gloppy cornstarched soups you get.”
“Try their sweet corn soups, drums of heaven (chicken drumsticks) and bamboo rice.”
“Love the Lamb on hot plate, Chilli Chicken, and Shrimp with black pepper and Hakka style noodles.”

I have mixed feelings about Ming. We went on a Monday night and were immediately seated. The restaurant has a cool/formal atmosphere which I liked a lot.
Our server had a lot of suggestions which was nice. He was able to explain what the dishes were like. We ordered soup, an appetizer, two entrees, and rice.
Starting off on a high note, the shrimp dim sum style was excellent. I practically fought for the last one. Really excellent. The Tum Yum soup was good as well, except our server told us it "wasn't very spicy" and it actually was. It was bearable and tasty, though. It was a $1 up charge to split it, which he didn't tell us until after, but that's fine.
Unfortunately, entrees came next. This would have easily been a four star review if they never came out. The vegetable massman curry was pretty good but not my favorite. The chicken Manchurian was lackluster. Both dishes were far spicier than we asked for but, again, since we enjoyed it, I was OK with it.
We ordered two rounds of rice and I thought we made pretty clear that we wanted the small size. We were two people and we were shocked at how big the servings were. When we asked later, our server told us that we had explicitly ordered this, which wasn't true. Although he took this off the bill (after we mentioned it twice), he seemed reluctant to do so. Honestly, a small was $3 and the large was $6, but it was the principal of the whole thing. It seemed like we were up charged on everything we ordered.
Dinner came to under $60 for two people, which was awesome. I would consider coming back and giving the place a second try, but I prefer Moghul next door (same owners).
I am not at all excited about writing this review. Our whole family decided to meet up here for dinner. Made a reservation for 7 pm.
Started off with sweet corn soup. It was average. Main course we got pepper chicken, chili chicken, chili lamb and eggplant with garlic Szechwan sauce. Honestly all the curries tasted the same and not very good either. Vinegar was kinda overpowering in all the dishes. Rice and noodles were not bad. I have been to this place 4-5 yrs ago and it was really good. They quality has gone down a lot. I was disappointed. I don't think I will be going back.
Fantastic food and service. Went in a group of 30 people and enjoyed our lunch very much.
Ming recommended a pre fixe menu for about $35 per person and it included 3 appetizers, a soup, a drink, 4 entrees and a mix of desserts. No headache/ hassle of ordering enough food, and the waiters kept bringing out more servings as they saw us finish the dishes. They had mango lassi and pina coladas prepared so we were never waiting for a drink. Best part is, everyone got their own plate of dessert! Date pancake, vanilla icecream, lychees and Cassatta ice cream.
Decent spot for Indo-Chinese food.
Let's cut to the chase…here's the breakdown:
Papaya Salad ($9) – without peanuts of course (I'm allergic) Highly recommend ordering this – has a great mix of spicy and tangy flavors which compliment each other very well 🙂
Crispy Lotus ($7) – everyone's favorite appetizer! Something different for sure. My aunt is going to try and attempt making these at home 🙂
Spicy Coriander Soup ($6) – My new favorite soup! I wish more restaurants made this. I give it 4 stars…only because I wasn't a fan of the chicken inside but if you love mushrooms w/ spicy and sour flavors – I guarantee you'll be on cloud 9 🙂
Lobster in Black Pepper Sauce ($24) – Ehhhh don't waste your money. Lobster tasted very fake and I regret ordered this. Even though everything else I ordered was pretty great, this ruined my experience.
There is no better place for Indochinese food than Ming. Their shredded lamb and their fried lotus is phenomenal. The flavors seem to nearly leap up from the plate. To this day, I have not had better hot and sour soup anywhere. Their fried rice is light and fluffy and pairs well with any Manchurian or curry dish you order.
This is also an excellent place if you're vegetarian! The roasted cauliflower and chili paneer are delicious! You can also get vegetarian options of the Hakka noodles or the Schezuan noodles etc.
The restaurant has a nice ambiance and could be a great place for a dinner party or a business lunch with colleagues.
The standard for the food has not wavered. The effort that they put into the dishes, is realized once you take that first bite. I know I'll always come back to Ming for a taste of food that reminds me of five star hotels and restaurants in Mumbai where I used to first enjoy this type of food.
Easily our favorite place for quality pan-Asian cuisine.
I liked the food here. I felt they were not authentic Indo-chinese , nevertheless the food was amazing.We did order bunch of stuff but my favorite was the Chicken Schezwan Fried rice. The portions are good as well. Bit pricey but good for the portion.
The ambiance was OK and the service was excellent. We reached there at 7 and by 8 , it was bustling with people. I suggest having a reservation before going there.
Will highly recommend the Chicken Schezwan Fried rice !
This is Chinese food with Indian spices and I love the result! All of the chili dishes; the fish in oyster sauce, black bean dishes and the Thai shrimp are excellent. So is the service and the atmosphere is very nice–good space between tables; comfortable chairs.
BUT–when lamb and seafood dishes are $18-23, it is annoying to spend $6 more for white rice (large enough for 3- people, but still…).
Portions are generous. It serves alcohol but when we showed up with our own bottle, it was no problem.
The flavors are vivid and spicy means spicy, so ask for mild if that is your preference.
Valentine's day is probably not the best day to dine here – everything seemed rushed and impersonal. This has been a staple place for special occasions for us – but this visit was after a rather long break, and boy has this place slipped two-three notches. While it's still $$$, gone is that special feeling of personalized service.
We ordered hot-n-sour veg soup and no complains there. Crisp Cauliflower Manchurian as an appetizer lived up to the billing. For entrees we ordered three – spicy garlic noddles, crunchy veg manchurian, and chili paneer plus a side of jasmine rice (entrees don't come with rice!). Believe it or not, could not make any distinction between the sauces of chili paneer and veg manchurian. There was no subtlety in the taste – thick sauce and a bit on the salty side. The spicy garlic noodles were very unremarkable and were served in a bowl that was overflowing with noodles – how sloppy for such a pricey place! It just shows that they had prepared these in bulk in advance so that they could turn the tables a high-demand day.
Valentine day is special – the dinner here on that day tho was anything but. We will watch latest reviews before trying them again.
