I was very disheartened tonight. I have eaten Ming’s many times over the years being a born and raised “local” In the Summer I ordered and it was great! Tonight the single meals were very disappointing and extremely small portioned. We wanted to support the “little guy” and share the nostalgia. The chicken friend rice was rice, oil and soya sauce. (Where’s the chicken? Egg? Vegetables?) It tasted reheated and burned. The chicken balls extremely small and hard. The chow mein tasted burnt as well. My partner got 3 small thin slimy pieces of beef in his beef and mixed vegetables which also tasted old and reheated to him. The egg rolls were good though! I feel so bad because this once a treasure is sure to be going out of business soon at this rate!
The food was amazing and the price was great(extremely fair), and the owners were lovely they truly put care into their orders!
Got take out tonight. Lo mein, fried rice, chicken balls and general tao chicken. Everything was delicious. The chicken fried rice is more "plain" than other places but has WAY more good flavours cooked in. Lo Mein was cooked perfectly and the veggies in it was great. Chicken balls have good sized chicken chunks and nice balance of crispy and soft batter. General Tao chicken was some of the best we've had. First time trying Uncle Mings and will return! Waited about 15 minutes for our order and the gentlemen who took our order inside, brought it right out to our vehicle when it was ready! Great service, good sized portions and delicious dinner. Yes the building looks run down buts it's just older. Everything I seen looks clean and the food is great. Great dinner, and looking forward to leftovers tomorrow as well!
Decided to try Uncle Ming's tonight for dinner and ordered 2 dinner for one's. I have to say this was the worst plated chinese food ever. When I picked up the food it was extremely light and thought to my self why so light? Is this my order? I decided to just drive home and see when I get there. When we opened our dinner for one, they looked like snack boxes. The beef order had 2 small pieces of beef that were somewhat slimy. The chicken balls had a hard over crispy batter with air holes and very oily with a tiny piece of chicken meat. The egg rolls same batter and oily. The rice was barely tasty and also oily. Needless to say, uncle Ming's will not see us again. We were very disappointed at the least.
Dinner combo 2, Fried Rice with Chicken Balls and Chow Mein. The food ended up being good and fresh, thankfully, as the reviews made me 100% skeptical. My issue is there was probably 5 spoons of rice and it felt like I paid almost $12 for a lunch size bc of that. I really like fried rice so that was disappointing. Usually rice is the one thing Chinese restaurants dish out heavily. Not sure if I will go back based on value but I am happy everything was tasty.
I have been going here since I was a child the place itself may seem run down, but the food is amazing! I’d recommend the chicken ball with homemade “red sauce” chicken fried rice and the Singapore noodle. The owners are lovely hard working people that have put all there hard work into there delicious food!
If you are looking for tasty and authentic Chinese food then you have come to the right place! The food was so flavorful, fast and reasonable price. My family has been coming here for ages until we stop coming to Wasaga beach for more than 10 years. As soon as we walked in the owners recognized us right away and we glad that the taste and quality of food are the same! Sooo yummy!! We were so hungry and the food was good that we forgot to take a picture.
I love this place! Uncle Ming is very kind gentleman who has a passion for CanChina food. I don't know what else to call it, it's everything I like that they probably don't actually have in China ha ha Ha. Great Price ... Clean, friendly, local business been here since 1997. Supporting a family buying from this one :)
Family restaurant we love supporting Very kind people and good food Food
We use to buy food from uncle ming ordered food tonight quality of food definetly has gone down not the same we were disappointed with the quality of food
Food was disgusting,no flavour,no spices ,just plain ,the Cantonese noodles hard ,ramen noodles ,terrible,been ordering there for 10 years,since covid ,gotten 10 times worse,wth
Smaller take out portions than expected. Food / flavor was OK but nothing stood out. Maybe an off night at Uncle Mings.
Chicken balls were a gross grey color I assume is from being made with spoiled goods
Delicious! Ordered the meal for 4, sweet and sour ribs and general Tao chicken. All delicious and more than enough food for another day. Would recommend!
Not one of the best Chinese restaurants in Wasaga Beach. Ordered take out - 5 family dinner. Portion size was small, bland taste and overpriced. I would not recommend
After years of driving by we decided to try their food. Threw away good money (we ordered a lot of food) Both my husband and I threw our wonton soup in the garbage. Horrible! How can wonton soup taste so bad? Ribs were dry and cold. No taste, no sauce. Beef and green pepper was all green pepper and maybe 2oz of beef. Deep fried shrimp were good as well as the chicken balls. Chicken fried rice was just that-rice with some chicken, nothing else. Lo Mein was over cooked. Will continue to just drive by in the future.
That was the worst food I have ever er had !!!!!!!
Very disappointed with the portion size.
Can give a little more their portions because even my 7 year was still hungry after
I generally only do positive reviews, as I feel small business have it hard enough, and Im not that picky with food. However, my experience here was horrible. Half cooked or old noodles, bland everything, chicken balls seemed old, and the thai green curry was awful. I honestly have no idea how this place is still open serving food like that.
The food was luke warm, the Cantonese chowmein had four small shrimp in it.. a portion of the noodles were undercooked. I won t buy from here again.
This Chinese food is absolutely disgusting. I am talking about the greasiest , nastiest Chinese food I have ever had in my life. The portions are very small , but that doesn t even matter. It went in the garbage. I normally never post comments good or bad , but this warranted my time . I would of called to complain or ask for a refund but I m trying to forget this experience. I still have the greasy taste in my mouth as a reminder. I can only hope food poisoning is setting in as I write this review .. if you eat here please do with extreme caution
Food dinner for 2 was amazing as always plus added cooked jumbo breaded shrimp mmmmm
Food was okay, portions were small, prices were good. Restaurant is run down and dirty and I will not be ordering here again because of this.
Excellent service, and food is delicious! The cashier is very nice, and the food came in about 15 minutes! I definitely recommend this place, and it should deserve more attention.
Our family have been eating here for over 20 years. Great food and great family!
Bought Dinner for 4 more dinner for 3 wonton soup too watery very dissatisfied with meal
We have ordered from Uncle Ming s for years. They have the best Chinese food in all the surrounding area. The owner is extremely friendly and you feel welcomed when you enter. These negative reviews do not make any sense whatsoever. I crave their food and will probably have some tonight!
Just moved to the area and real glad I chose this place Im done looking they have a costumer as long as I live around. The chicken fried rice had lots of flavor and the beef from beef and broccoli was legit amazing. Definitely recommened.
Not sure why I have waited so long to make a review but here I am! You know what they say, don t judge a book by its cover; the same applies here! My family has been ordering takeout from Uncle Ming s since we moved here in 2007 (highly recommend dinner for 4 ), and we flat out refuse to get Chinese food from anywhere else. So so tasty and the owners are super friendly! The only issue we ve ever had is an item was forgotten; we called to let them know and they personally drove to our house to drop off the missing item! Love this place for Chinese takeout and will recommend them until the end of time!
Called 3 hrs ahead for a BIG pick up order and it was ready and hot when I arrived. Great food and well prepared!
Its time there But will go back
Great food and friendly. Fast service
My husband loves this place ! Our old stand by ! Always fresh+delicious!
Food always good
When i first went to uncle mings i was super exited, i order myself some good yummy chicken and it was very tasty and the staff were very good looking and very nice
Great food!
Been going here since they opened in 1997.....
Love the food but holy hannah let us place the order. The gentleman on the phone interrupted me every time i began to speak. LET ME FINISH A SENTENCE!
Friendly staff and Always great food!
Lemon chicken and ginger chicken were great! Paired with Uncle Ming s special fried rice it made for a delightful meal for two.
Great food people good Local people
Place is quite dirty, the owner unfriendly. Average food, and I still dont understand why they still ask for tips when youre not allowed to dine in ( most places are now) and no patio. But payment is upfront and I didnt want to take any chances.
ordered from Mings tonight everything tasted sour as well as everything was oily worst Chinese food I have ever had plus they forgot the sweet and sour sauce for the chicken balls. The owner came back with the sauce and I literally handed him back the food.Called him 20 minutes later and asked for my money back and he was very argument about it .Would not refund my money for garbage food
Love the ming man..fast cheap easy..oh sorry thats how i like my women..lol..but it was same
I was so disappointed. Use to be good. But the portions are so small i was still hungry. Egg rolls are awful and such a dirty run down place. I suggest....Uncle Mings....renovate and open a buffet. Terrible experience
This place should be condemned. Rotten food, worst taste, burnt! Cannot believe I paid for this sDHt!
Tasty and local.
Disgusting. Had awful food and service. I believe they live in this restaurant as well
Amazing food and service the owners are so nice and welcoming the wings are a go to staple appetizer
I am a regular long time customer of uncle mings but i must say my last order was amazing thanks keep up the great work
Love this place. We dont live in the area anymore, but any time we are back, we make sure to stop here. Thank you!!
I would NOT recommend this restaurant to anyone not only was the store filthy the food was even worse. Stick to Bamboo Terrace !
I would suggest putting more meat bigger portions and fill the containers like they do at super panda98. Sorry uncle Mings food was tasty but when I spend $98 for food I want more. I will try one more time and take pictures for my next review heres hoping for 5 star
Very nice owners but the food was not good. Many items in my order was burned. Portions were extremely small. Flavors just werent appetizing. Sorry but I do not recommend.
Very good food. Every dish was tasty. Owner is very friendly
I have been eating Uncle Mings for almost 10 years, and generally its okay. Last night we bought it and havent for somentime, the portions were so small that there was not enough for 3 people. This has changed and the prices went up. I paid $70 for 4 dishes and 3 spring rolls. The Cantonese Chow Mein was the most unpleasant dish. I dont have to go on about how awful the experience was but after 10 years as a customer Im truly upset to have to write this negative response. I am.giving it 2 stars only because the food was tasty but I do not think we will order from there again. The value is just not there. In Toronto we eat at Mayflower and spending $70 would feed 5 people easily portions are huge! Uncle Ming is not providing their customers with value anymore. Good luck
The food is not good, the portions are small and the prices are way too high. I will not buy from this place again.
Don t be fooled by the lazy white people on vacation giving poor reviews on delivery. This place, however old it looks, is a long time treasure in the neighborhood. I ve eaten here since I was 5. Great food and great service.
Great food great prices.
Canadian/Chinese Food - The food was good but definitely not Authentic. Prices and reasonable and preparation relatively quick. Menu consists of typical Sweet and Sour Chicken balls, Honey Garlic ribs and the usual Dinner for 2,4,6 Canadian/Chinese Food combos with Eggrolls and dishes with lots of Soy Sauce.
Excellent service and Food as always!
First off, Im not one to post a bad revue as I feel that it seems everyone complains and no one compliments when its good. Then I tried Uncle Mings, I ordered 2 entrees, Cantonese Chow mein and General Tao Chicken plus some steamed rice. I was told that I needed to give them 1 1/2 hours to prepare my order for pick up, not delivery, pick up. When I finally got it, I found that the chow mein was decent, but the chicken tasted industrial and not made in house. The oil it was fried in really needed changing, hours later i still had that bitter taste in my mouth. It seems that their version of General Tao chicken is breaded chicken bites served with sweet and sour sauce that they add chili flakes to. I will not be going back. Too bad, I was so hoping to find a decdent place near my home.
Not to bad price or food
Best fried rice in town
A hidden gem in Wassaga! Just found my go to Chinese restaurant for the area.
I love supporting local restaurants, especially during this crazy time and I happened to stumble upon this spot. The food was delicious, well priced and the owners were so kind. I will be back soon !
this was the first time my mom and i decided to try the place out. I can most definitely say that the food was amazing. i ordered the chicken chow mein, and a box of spring rolls. Everything was fresh and tasted great. Both owners were very kind. they threw in some crunchy little stick chips and some fortune cookies , it was a lovely touch. Will come back for sure!
Love the food here and the owners are very friendly people! Mostly take out.
When ever you are in wasaga beach stop in here and Order the chicken chow mein in the barbecue spare ribs to die for
We have called many times but it is never open so I cannot comment on the food only the fact they are rarely open and the building looks pretty dumpy so I am over wanting to try the food here. I am hoping they are under renovations.
Love the food Really nice people
Tried for first time and have to say we are really happy with food and service ordered take out was told 20 to pick up was ready on time great portion size and very tasty will definitely be returning
Quick and friendly take out.service.. Eat in and delivery service for their Chinese style food is also available
We couldnt be more disappointed.... we thought we would treat ourselves to Chinese food on New Years Eve and the first place we thought of was uncle Mings.....we had heard such good things. This was the worst Chinese food We have ever had... totally tasteless... the best thing about the meal was the sweet and sour sauce.... which I made because we didnt get any with our sweet and sour chicken balls???!!! The only positive is that the food was delivered on time and was warm.... thats all.....
Great Chinese food, awesome service
Cant even begin to understand a negative review for the food or service here. Hands down, the best of its kind. Ive introduced numerous guests to this place and they were all in love with the quality of the food at Uncle Mings. Best Chinese food Ive ever had.
Quick service. Our server was very patient with our orders and gave suggestions to our questions about the menu. When the food came we were satisfied but obviously would find better quality food in other locations, however exceeded initial expectations.
These guys are really enjoyable. We always get take out and they are so quick at making it. Ive tried several dishes and it is all really good- personally I love the Cantonese Chow Mein.
The overall food was very good, the fried rice is not your typical it is a true fried rice. We were 3 adults and 2 children and we ordered there dinner for 6 not realizing the portions are very healthy size. The owner is very pleasant and made the experience even better. What really touched me was he came running out of the restaurant to give us candies as we were leaving that made the visit extra special. And price for the meal was $70 before taxes and beverages.
Shabby building. Dark interior. My General Tso chicken was massively disappointing. The fried rice was just that no vegetables or anything else added. The wonton soup was okay despite the wontons being completely over cooked. I dont think Ill be ordering from here again.
Dot judge a book by its cover. Family owned and operated. Our familys only choice for Chinese food. good portions great prices wonderful people awesome food
I love the authentic feel
Food was gross made me sick especially the egg rolls. Will never order from there again!!!
The exterior scared the heck outta me but I listenedn to the reviewers and ordered take out. Delicious food, fresh, hot and the service was great. There are a few other Chinese food restaurants in town, all with fancier exteriors & interiors, the food pales comparison.
The exterior definitely doesnt make it attractive, BUT the food is awesome! really good food, awesome prices. Loved it. Great service, very friendly. Definitely would recommend it if youre in Collingwood/Wasaga beach area.
Greatest Chinese Food in town dont worry about the exterior the food is what counts. Awesome.
I ordered curry chicken and would not believe my dish. It was 90% vegetables and the chicken had no taste. Curry wasnt even mildly spicy. Might as well call it curry vegetables. Never going back.
Great fresh food! Dont let the exterior scare you
