I ordered the calamari and the General Tso chickens through a delivery service. I thought that the food was pretty good and tasty. I didn't order anything else on their menu, but I would like to try other dishes. read more

The new management at this place improved A LOT. Restaurants is newly renovated and clean. Staff are super friendly and patient. The foods tastes amazing and there's a lot more new dishes on the menu! read more

I love ordering either take-out or delivery from Ming City (mostly, I order sushi and some appetizers). I find that the quality and quantity is really good for the price. The staff is very efficient as well. read more

Sushi burned on top. The crab meat was totally burned and impossible to eat. I would never recommend it to anyone.

Most disgusting tasting Chinese food I ever ate...very tasteless .The fried rice is colorless and tasteless.i ordered dinner for two ,the portions is extremely small..Will not order again.givng one star in order to post. read more

This place was really disappointing. Not overly priced but it's just another bad Chinese food place. I got beef and broccoli and my girl got sweet and sour shrimp. Over battered and under fried. Plus the chicken chow mien was terrible. I'm not sure why Chinese food is so difficult to get right but I wouldn't recommend this place to anybody. It's just handy that it's around the corner if you want a beer and 10:30 on a Sunday night. read more

Ok, ok... I gave 5 stars to a Canadianized Chinese restaurant! But as the Yelp rating system states, 5 stars means "As good as it gets!" and I'm confident that Ming City is as good as an unauthentic Chinese place can get. I waited until after my second visit just to be sure that they didn't just impress me with one dish. Today's "Spicy Peanut Beef" was awesome. Extremely tender slices of beef, smothered in a spicy sweet sauce with green peppers and peanuts. It came with rice and your choice of soup for only $4.99! I thought the five dollar lunch had completely disappeared! Apparently not in Ming City. Ever since the closure of my old favourite Chinese resto, (Peter Street Deli), I've been striving to find a General Tao (Tso) chicken that compares. I finally did! Mayor Ford, get your butt out of Mayflower and over to Ming City. You'll soon have a new favourite! read more

Ordered Ming City via Uber Eats and what do ya know? They STILL throw the heat! I think some of the other reviews go so left because they're ordering gooey items. I get the deep fried stuff. Chicken balls, general tao, THE CRISPY BEEF. mmPH! Even the shrimp fried RICE. YUM. I did mention that I ordered via Uber Eats so, I can't speak to the condition of the restaurant. Judging by the recent reviews I'm thinking that they're flopping on the gooey dishes cuz you can get away with random things being in it. Fruit flies look like seasoning in one of those bean sauce dishes. Anyway, MING keep your heads up! you're KILLIN' it with the chicken balls and crispy ginger beef and probably the general tao too!! 5 stars!! read more

this is not a good place for sushi, does taste fresh and ikky. smells worst, plus ya gotta pay through the nose for delivery 30$ minimum for free delivery? gimme a break. shopping else where for better food. read more

the food tastes amazing! 10/10 I definitely would recommend. they have amazing customer service.

If a tree falls in the forest, and nobody's there to hear it, does it really make a sound? If I place an order for chinese food delivery, and it never arrives, can I give it a one-star Yelp review? Damn right, I can. Ming City is the kind of mom-and-pop chop suey shop I usually love. A few tables out front, a massive steel take-out counter at the back, and a host of old-school dining options to devour. Walking by this stretch of Eglinton, I was impressed by it's relative cleanliness and bright, colourful takeout menus. I grabbed one of these menus and hurried home, waiting for the opportunity to order. Perhaps I had found a replacement for my former fix, Tasty Chinese just up the street. Last night, my ship came in, or so I thought. I ordered hot and sour and wonton soups, spring rolls, moo shu for the wife and something with pork for myself. Maybe an order of vegetable chow mien, too. I really don't remember... Why don't I remember you may ask? BECAUSE IT NEVER ARRIVED. Seriously. Ming City is roughly a ten minute walk from my house. Ten minutes if I'm pushing a stroller, stopping every few minutes to comfort a squealing baby and navigate a large cup of Tim Horton's dark roast (which I highly recommend). I accept that the trip by car could take a bit longer, given construction on Eglinton, although cutting through side streets could make that time up. But seriously, we waited over an hour for our food, then called to follow up. "Ten more minutes" we were told. We waited another 20. Called again, and were told that dinner was still 15-20 minutes away. Despite low blood sugar, I politely advised the person who took our order of our proximity to her restaurant. She advised that the driver was out, but would we like to come by want take it out? If you've taken high school physics you may be familiar with Schroedinger's Cat; a thought experiment wherein a key variable in unknowable. In this case, either I could walk over to pick up lukewarm soggy Chinese food which had been sitting an hour and a half, or they simply hadn't bothered to fire our order. I hated physics, and I was hungry. I cancelled the order and we ate frozen pizzas instead. So if you've ACTUALLY eaten from Ming City, you may be able to recommend it. I cannot. read more

When I lived in the Annex, I sometimes lamented the lack of Chinese Food places like the ones I grew up with.... Doughy chicken balls with neon-red sauce, soggy chicken chow mein, dry chicken fried rice, all the usual. In the area you really couldn't get much delivery from places like that which was strange to me, all you could find was.. you know.. QUALITY, somewhat authentic chinese food. BOO. Sometimes I'm drunk and want crappy food ok? So now that I've moved into the northern end of the city, I've found myself lousy with bad chinese food places. Hell yes. The first place we checked out was Ming City. We found them online and they delivered to our area so we tested out some of our favorite dishes: - Veggie Fried Rice - Lemon Chicken - Beef & Broccoli Honestly, it was exactly what I hoped for. Tasted good, huge portions, cheap prices, free delivery. Super friendly service with quick times. The food isn't amazing but if you're in the mood for this kind of thing, I don't see how you can go wrong with Ming City. It's exactly what you should expect. Oh and also, it did not hurt my stomach, which is a big test for me. We ordered a second time a few weeks later and got the General Tso's + Veggie Rice + Beef/Broccoli. Tso's was really garlicy and sticky but decent. The rest was as it was the first time. Again... you get what you pay for and for this class of food, they hit all the notes. read more

its okay. Lunch is cheap just for 5.99 dollars. I had curry shrimp and stir fry beef. read more

I ordered food from Ming City Restaurant & Bar on Doordash this past weekend as I was looking for something quick & easy. I ordered the special Szechuan dinner for two which included chicken fried rice, spicy chicken with peanut sauce and beef with black bean sauce. While the flavour was on point, I was quite disappointed with the poor quality of the chicken being used. Very rubbery and tough - did not seem of good quality at all. The beef with black bean sauce was slightly better but I felt like the black bean flavour could have been a bit more present. I will order from somewhere else next time. read more

Their food is very cheap and fairly tasty - a great bargain for the price. This is especially true of their shrimp dishes, which are probably the most generous (in terms of size and quantity of shrimp) of any take-out Chinese place I've been to. On the downside, they speak very poor English so it's hard to get an order in without an error. Although some of their dishes are white meat, it's not indicated on the menu so I have no idea what items I'll like and what I won't. The same is true of their fried items. Their is a real discrepency in quality between their all-white-meat dishes and their dark meat/fried dishes, which is quite shocking considering that they cost the same. So the food is hit or miss, and they speak poor English so it's hard to ask about it, but it's really cheap and worth an order to see if it's your thing. read more

Tried this place two weeks ago based on Yelp reviews. I waited for my order and before leaving confirmed everything with the lady - went home and found my meal wasn't close to what I ordered. I called the store, and they agreed to drive me out new food. What was delivered was tasteless and not worth the time (or complaining kids). read more

Cheap and decent. This isn't gourmet food, but it's good for the price. They have a few vegetarian items, but will also custom make you something if you ask. Seems like they have a crazy cheap weekday lunch special - 11am to 3pm, $4.99 dealy...! Very casual atmosphere. You have to get your own drink and pour your own water. (that's ok with me!) read more

Food was good. Took awhile to get it. Ended up microwaving some of it. Order online through Just-Eat.ca if you are able. Communicating over the phone is actually quite difficult. This was my 2nd order from them and I would order again. I am adding to my original review. I have to-date ordered 5 times from this establishment and am now hooked. I still order through this site because of a language barrier over the phone, as well as having the convenience of paying via Interac. read more

If you want BPA poisoning, this is the place, free plastic cooked into your meal. We ordered two plate Bs... We didn't realize they were short for Plate BPA Poisoning. There was a piece of plastic bag, over 3", cooked into our meal! I usually let stuff slide, but that was disgusting. read more

We ordered food from here for the first time. It took over an hour and a half to arrive, and they only delivered 7/8 dishes. When we called to get the dish delivered or refunded, they refused to do either. Very unprofessional. read more

Although their delivery times are often much longer than anticipated (or promised) - the food is always worth the wait and the service in-house is always quick and seamless! read more

Absolutely the worst Chinese food ever produced. Undercooked, over breaded garbage. So disappointed. The sweet and sour sauce was watered down. How do yiu screw up that sauce. I'm not one to write reviews but stay far away. read more

Took nearly two hours to delivery a very simple order (40$) and delivery man was very rude in addition to food being cold. Next day all three persons in my home were very sick with food poisoning, and my elderly mother spent three days in hospital very sick. read more

So this is my local Chinese takeout spot. I'm trying to compare this place to Swatow or other notable downtown joints, but for the area, this place is great. Price is right, lots of spicy Szechwan if you want and a good selection. The only reason I wouldn't give it 5/5, is that the place inside looks weird. I wish the owners would change the interior and get rid of the strange jewelry display, bracelets and even the odd clothing for sale. Do not eat in. Get it to go, and enjoy a great meal at home. Word to wise, pick the family meal. Dinner for 4 is really big. Enough for 5 or 6. Dinner for 6 can easily feed 8-9 and still have leftovers. read more

Best Chinese food in my delivery area. We always get the dinner for 4 which is hands down delicious. The crispy beef is insane.

I went to Ming city only once. The food was ok and well priced: I went them for lunch and tasted their 4.99$ menu. My meal came with a soup. The food was good, not overly amazing, but good enough for the price. I first wanted to eat in. There was 2 issues: 1) there is no free parking (not the restaurant fault, but slightly inconvenient), 2) the ambiance inside the restaurant was uncomfortable. That is my biggest issue. The place is dark inside and some of the patrons were loud and little bit grungy. I first thought about eating in, than I changed my mind and ordered to go. So, to summarize, this is a relatively good place for take out, it's well priced (for lunch), but I would not recommend to eat in per se. read more

I've ordered from them perhaps 15 or so times, and what Ming City is is mediocre and inconsistent. There are a few dishes that are always standouts, which are namely the the Crispy Ginger Beef, Hot Spicy Peanut Beef and the Hot Spicy Ginger Chicken (The Spicy Peanut sauce is also available with chicken or shrimp. I know this because they have twice given me chicken when the beef was ordered). I'd give all of these five stars. All of their meals, good or not, have also been very generous in terms of portion size. Other dishes however are disappointing in several departments. The General Tso, while decent in flavour, has always been slightly over cooked the 5 or so times I've ordered it (Get the previously mentioned Hot Spicy Ginger Chicken instead. It's very similar in flavour, but the breading and texture is far superior). The Orange chicken sauce was bland and had sogged into the meat, making the coating mushy instead of crispy. The sweet and sour pork sauce was similar to the orange chicken sauce in nature, and the pork used had bones, meaning they had to be annoyingly spit out during the meal. Lemon chicken was also rather unimpressive, yet edible. Wait times can also be an issue. I once ordered a meal, explaining I'll be back in 20 mins. to pick it up. Upon returning, I had to wait another 45 mins to receive my order. In the mean time, a friend of mine coincidentally ordered from them as well 15 minutes later than me, showed up to pick-up his order while I was there, and received his 20 minutes before I got mine (which was a single dish). There have been other times where I've waited for extended periods as well (45 mins - 1hr), while the odd time it comes out in a relatively quick 15-20 minutes. I'd say 25-30 minutes is the average in my experience (I've yet to have them deliver). Despite their shortcomings though, they're still a better bet and value than the other Chinese joints in the neighbourhood (Jade's, Hai Feng, etc). read more

Recently moved into the neighbourhood and thought I would try Ming City. Checked out reviews first, they were not stellar! I have been there several times over the past months and have never been disappointed. Tina (owner) and her husband are very nice and always look after me. I have tried several dishes including the wontons, shrimp with vegetables, crispy ginger beef, and have loved the dishes. I am also a big fan of their soups. The prices are very reasonable too! My family visited from British Columbia and I ordered the dinner for 5, which was really good. Everyone enjoyed it. read more

This is my first yelp review and I'm struck with a very strange feeling of guilt. The food is good, it's standard Canadian Chinese food, but it definitely leans towards the more flavourful and less greasy variety. That is I guess for a restaurant the most important thing, which is good, because this place is terrible. My order arrived two hours after I placed it, was 1 for 4 on getting the correct items and the driver gave me shit for not having good parking, as if his 1 minute walk around the corner was the cause of the delay. I called them twice to check on the status of my food and each time I was greeted with the exact same beleaguered waitress, who was I assume just so god damn tired of people asking her where their food was. "Hello? "Hi I've been...." "Its on its way" "I haven't even given you my name" "Its on its way" I ordered it via Justeat but they definitely received my order two hours before it arrived. I wouldn't recommend ordering delivery but if you are in the area the food is worth stopping for. And tip your waitress. read more

Uber eats comes through with lunch .. ordered hot and sour soup, chicken wings and chilli chicken .. food was ok nothing special .. chilli chicken had no gravy unlike what I am used to and was not spicy at all .. chicken was dry and wings were oily .. soup was thicker than usual and no meat .. gotta think twice before ordering again but most likely not read more

Thanks it was tasty, overall. I liked the chicken and fried rice - both were fresh, moist and delicious. I would recommend the beef and vegetables be a little better done though. The beef was a bit tough, and vegetables soggy. My corn and chicken soup was good too, but the spring roll not so good. I will try this place again before making a final decision. read more
