Love the Ginger Beef and Egg Rolls. Wish it were on the all you can eat and buffet menus. Wonton Soup broth was slightly lacking but the wontons had superb Texture & Flavor. Service was friendly a fun environment. Atmosphere is modest & modern -love th Huge Trees & Art (the purple stairway could use some paint touch ups to complete the polished dining experience).

Food was freaking fantastic and priced perfectly…the painting on the walls are amusing and was one of the only places that has a buffet highly recommended !!! I’d give it 6 stars if I could

Wow who would have thought there could be great Chinese food in a spotlessly clean restaurant in New Glasgow. What a great random find. Singapore noodle and Korean fried chicken were both delicious and trust me I’m an expert when it comes to Asian food.

First time in this establishment. Review said best Chinese food in New Glasgow so thought we would put that to the test. Buffet started at 4pm we arrived shortly before. The variety of options were lovely and all items were extremely fresh. We really liked the idea of using the card at your table to order a few items not on the buffet but included in price. We want to come again with a group of us!!

Yummy food that hit the spot! The Special for 2 was perfect- we will definitely be back. Also, bonus points for the fortune cookies- 50% accuracy is pretty good 🤣

Great atmosphere! server was very well-mannered and patient, and the food was incredible. Highly recommend the number 7 special and egg rolls. The steak was the most tender I've ever had, and had incredible salt and pepper sauce covering the plate. 5 stars!

Unfortunately we used to only open on weekends. Update, unfortunately the buffet has become very poor and expensive. I wont come anymore. The wings didnt come until we were finished eating. Unfortunately the price/performance ratio doesnt fit here.

Food is always wonderful from Ming s, but it would be nice (especially on the weekend) to get a buffet for lunch. Was at the door today minutes before opening, very disappointed to not be able to get the buffet. You lost sales today.

Buffet $25 . The food is heavily deep fried/ greasy. Tastes good deep fried, food is sticky. The dessert is really tasty ! Brownie sundae and the strawberry shortcake pie are deadly ! The service is good, the buffet trough is not very big and feels like an old timer conga line sometimes, food empties out quickly and you can miss out on a couple things when you go up for more. The atmosphere could of used more artwork or funky stuff. Seemed like a giant living room. Overall a ok place to eat.

Went on a whim, and had the korean inspired spicy fried chicken, and it was prepared exactly like i got in japan years ago. Wasnt too busy for a lunch time, art of the walls is cool, but could use some booth style seating, if i were to have any changes, but the food was fantastic and fast, ill be here again! Vegetarian options: options are marked right on the menu.

Ordered lv 5 curried chicken was not spicy at all, my sons lv 3 was spicier, ordered wonton soup was very flavorless like no salt was used, wonton had an odd flavor than usual, and all portions were about half of what you get at other Chinese places and prices are higher, was expecting more but was disappointed

Decent food at a decent price. The buffet is small but the food is decent. There are more dishes available you just have to fill out a little sheet and it gets cooked and brought to your table. Parking: Weve been lucky every time but I could see it being a problem if youre not at right place, right time kind of thing.

Mines was amazing!!! I went with my family tonight and the dining room was spread out nicely to follow the health protocols and everyone not at a table was wearing masks. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. They changed their procedure for the buffet and were very receptive to the questions we had about it. The food was delicious!!! When we ordered the buffet and made our selections everything came out to the table in their own dish for us to serve ourselves. The only complaint I had was the door slamming loudly whenever the staff had to take the food out to the curbside pick up spots.
