Meh . Typical "Canadian Chinese Food" . Tasted ok, but the staff would not allow certain changes to my order which made it a bit frustrating but still the food was good enough for a quick lunch!

Every dish that I have tried has been delicious. My husband gets his favorite and gives it 10/10. We have been going probably once a week since we tried it.

I usually am quite happy with Ming's. Decent portions, Ok prices. Good food. But when I spend nearly 15 bucks on "Mongolian Chicken" and in reality it's Mongolian Onions and 13 small thin bits of chicken? That's obnoxious. I essentially paid $1 per piece of chicken slice, minus the . 98 cents an onion costs.

Absolutely no complaints about this place! We stopped by here for takeout on our way to a cottage and were really pleasantly surprised by the food and especially the price! We ordered the fried rice, chicken balls, pad thai, shanghai noodles, and general tso chicken. Everything was delicious - especially the chicken balls! Sometimes, you just want tasty, greasy Chinese food, and this is the perfect place to get it if you’re in the area. The cashier was also really friendly and helpful! You can’t ask for much more.

Nice dinner. Great meals and good price. Friendly service. I was surprised to find the good restaurant in this village. Bravo!

December 31, 2020

The general tso's chicken was raw. The chicken kabobs where very over cooked. The shrimp fried rice had 5 large shrimp on top of the dish and smelt "fishy". The chicken wings where pink as well. The beef lo mein had beef onion and fat noodles. The cheese dumplings where deep fried and made with cream cheese and onions. They tasted alright, but I didn't realise they would be deed fried. I ended up returning my order for a refund, and they didn't refund over 11 dollars for the 1/2 container of rice that was gone. Very disappointed and definitely will not go back. Very poor service after waiting over an hour. And then when returned.

Great improvement they did a great job on the renovation very modern clean and bright there is a lot on the menu that I want to try, today it's the beef broccoli, chicken fried rice and egg roll and it was delicious they cook to order great lunch and dinner combos if you want or order separate would highly recommend I plan on coming back. I went back had the garlic chicken combo plate thought it was great , a bit on the spicy but it warns you on the menu my wife ordered the sweet sour chicken ball we both thought they we great lightly battered more like tempura we plan on making this place a regular.

Just had takeout from here for dinner tonight and it was so good! Chicken balls arent too doughy, general tsos chicken was just the right amount of spicy, and everything was all around delicious! Best part of it though was definitely the four cheese dumplings!! It came with 10 and I could have eaten all 10 by myself!! Definitely ordering from here again

December 22, 2023

Let me start by saying if I could give zero stars I would. I am really disappointed with this Chinese restaurant. We ordered a takeout dinner for 3 and was told it would be ready in 15 minutes. I was there within 10 minutes and it was ready already! I wondered how you could cook so much food in 10 minutes and my doubts were confirmed when I got home and EVERYTHING was cold. The lemon chicken sauce was just a cold glutinous mess and the sweet and sour chicken wasnt much better ( I had to microwave both). The spring rolls tasted of burnt oil. It cost over $60.00 and I shouldnt have paid over $10.00. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone and will not be going there again. Truly disappointed.

December 22, 2023

Ordered delivery. Waited over an hour, nobody showed up. Called and was told that someone came by a half hour ago. No phone call, no knock on my door and I was outside waiting the entire time. First time ordering and never will again!!

This was our first experience at Mings Kitchen. We dined in for lunch. My partner had the Sweet & Sour Chicken Combination Platter, and I had the General Taos Chicken Combination Platter. The meal came with an egg roll and Chicken Fried Rice. The food was delicious. Best Chinese food weve had in a very long while! The interior of the restaurant is nice and bright, and it is very clean. We chose a cold beverage from the well stocked cooler to add to our meal. Cannot wait to go back to try some of their other dishes. Lots of vegetarian options. Ample parking behind the restaurant. There are a few steps to climb to enter from the back parking lot, so unsure if it is wheelchair accessible. Would definitely recommend.

Their vegetable dishes are quite good but the chicken & beef dishes are horrid. The beef is bland, tough as leather and fatty. The chicken is better buy that is not meant as a compliment. Threw all the beef in the composter, though I m not sure it s a food item

Got the appetizer platter. Mostly good except the spring roll filling was mushy and didnt taste that good. The fried rice is very good and the general tso is pretty good. Of course sitting in a take out container is not the best for fried food. We got it sauce on the side so we could crisp it up at home before eating.

After reading many reviews I was really unsure if I was willing to try this place . My coworker convinced me it was the best shes had locally ! We ordered on Christmas eve, made sure to order early incase they were busy. Walked in at 530 as per our order pick up time we arranged on the phone, everything was hot and ready. Evenly sauced, hot, flavourful. Will definitely be ordering from them again. Thanks for the great Christmas eve meal! We ordered wonton soup, appy shrimp , plain fried rice, egg rolls, spring veggie rolls, general tso chicken, ginger beef, sweet and sour pork.

Mings offers quick service and delivery in Port Colborne. Plenty of dishes to try. We love the General Tso Chicken, and their Wonton Soup. We are slowly working our way through the menu, but so far things are tasty. One word of caution. The egg rolls are vegetarian, and mainly filled with seasoned mung bean. I enjoy them, but the rest of my family skips this item. More for me. If you arent a fan of mung bean I would suggest asking to swap for the spring rolls. I believe there may be a small fee.

I brought a lunch special it came with fried rice and a sofa. You can choose from 19 items, I selected general Tao chicken... the rice was very oily, the chicken was mushy not crispy at all and tasted like fat. Poor quality Asian food. The price was great at 7.95 plus tax, but not pleased with the food at all. This is my second and last time ordering from this restaurant.

Very happy with the service and quality of food. Take out containers are metal and do not melt like the plastic ones do if food is put in hot, they also are packed right full of food. The beef was soft and tender and the chicken balls did not have a ton of dough. Bonus, they do not use MSG. Resonably priced and consistent meals.

Mings in Port Colborne (old Gourmet) What I liked; Sweet and sour pork was awesome, the Snow peas beef was great (veggie heavy) The chicken lo-mein is awesome (if you want old style Gourmet lo-mein, I guess you have to order the chow mein) Lemon chicken and jadoo chicken wings were also good. What I didnt like; The rice is horrible lol no flavor and its sticky rice... Could use some improvement. Overall, I would order again!

Our family just enjoyed a New Years eve lunch at Mings Kitchen. The food was very tasty and served fresh from the kitchen. Not overloaded with salt and soy sauce. The newly revamped interior is clean and modern. The staff are pleasant. We are very excited to have a new Asian food restaurant in Port Colborne. Good luck! We will be back again.

December 22, 2020

First time ordering from the new place with no expectations to be blown away by flavour or quality. Unfortunately we were extremely disappointed with what we Recieved. We started with the lemon chicken, which had the texture of a yoga mat with the flavour of run over cat. The sauce for the chicken had the consistency of water and all the lacking flavour of lemon. We had an order of beef and broccoli that was edible but thats to say the least. The veggies were basically raw and the rice was bland to the tenth degree. All in all disappointed with Mings Kitchen.

Our first take- out with this restaurant- restaurant was exceptionally clean, with friendly and fast service. The food was so fresh, packed with flavour and by far the best Won- ton soup I have had . Chicken balls are small, light breading and a nice chunk of meat. So much better then those large breaded ones. The Beef Lo Mein was exceptional. I actually called them post our meal to let them know we were very impressed and we would highly recommend them. Well done! We will absolutely be back.

Very disappointed in this place. This building use to have my favorite Chinese restaurant in it. I was sad when they closed. In hopeful spirits I went to the newly owned restaurant. I ordered all of my favorites. The chicken was so under cooked and the rice was dry just everything was terrible. I went again because I was hopeful that it was just an accident. But no the same thing happened again.

Dont bother exploring other places. Just go here. The portions are good. The food is great. The staff are friendly, and if you like hot and our soup, theyve got the best Ive ever had.

December 22, 2019

Terrible. I had to send the pad Thai back. It tasted like ketchup. I ordered general tsos chicken and chicken fried rice to replace it. The chicken was okay, at best. The rice was so bland, and had barley any chicken in it. My egg roll was burnt.

December 22, 2019

Decided to try this place last night for a change. The interior was nice and clean however the lighting was so bright it was almost garish. It was also very cold as there was no dual doors to block the cold coming in every time the door opened. We placed our orders which took almost 45 min to arrive. Well...at least my plate came. After waiting another 10 min, and no sign of my husbands meal, I began to eat before it was too cold. The Pad Thai was swimming in sauce and I had to search for evidence of any chicken. I had already finished my meal and eventually my husband got up to inquire about his meal since there was no waitress in sight. It eventually came and was lukewarm at best. When the waitress eventually came to ask about our meals, I let her know that we werent happy about the poor service. Her response? Silently took the plates and walked away. The finishing touch was when she brought the bill and we were charged full price for this horrible 90 minute experience. I actually overheard other customers commenting on various food and poor service issues. Im truly hoping this is just growing pains for a new establishment, but in the meantime, we certainly wont be back.

Worst Chinese food Iv ever had.

December 22, 2019

Please have a third party go over your menu and help you replan it with new recipes and cooking methods. The noodle in the Cantonese chow mein was mostly hard and crunchy. My family and friends agreed the fried rice had the taste of sewage. The rest of the dinner for 6 tasted amazing: thats why I am writing this review. Please make the desperately needed changes. Id like to have another Chinese restaurant in town with good food. Please advertise the new menu after to bring everyone back. Dont want to see this one go down in flames.
