My friend (and partner) lives in Walden, so when they crave Chinese, I will go along and have some with them. Ming Jie's reaffirmed why I only go for boutique Chinese and not mainstream. (Note: They brought in takeout, so I cannot comment specifically on the restaurant itself, only the food.) * The meat was passable but not particularly seasoned. Small thin cuts as usual. * The noodles? No thanks. I ordered ho fun (thick) but would expect mei fun to be similar. They were a little sweet and sticky that night, and since I didn't finish everything I brought back some noodles home for leftovers. Well, the next day, they were a giant glob. I've never run into that before. Stick to the rice dishes. I'm out of my comfort zone and did not get the full experience, so I will leave it at 3 stars since my friend (and partner) reliably go here and enjoy it. But I'll probably pass next time. read more

So-so. The "Ginger Chicken" was more like ginger string beans with hints of chicken. Wan-tons were gummy. Hot and sour soup had nice spice and good ingredients but lacked vinegar to be sour. The chow fun needed more oyster sauce, it was bland. Overall, ok but under seasoned and lacking meat. read more

My wife and I moved to Walden from long island ny. After searching high and low for good Chinese food, to no avail, we were gonna chalk it up that there's no good Chinese food up here. Then we tried this little place in Walden village, Ming Jie's house. So far, everything we've tried from them is excellent! Not only that but they're polite, they deliver, they never screwed up our order and if you go to pick up, they're not cheap with their condiments and fortune cookies. They leave them out for you to take whatever you need. I highly recommend this place. By the way, you can dine in. They have a small dining room..... not the prettiest. There's a wall that looks unfinished from when they had to make provisions during the pandemic, and they never took it down. Also, they serve you with paper plates and plastic utensils...... weird but who cares, their food is very good! And when you special order, they do it. read more

We ordered general tso chicken combination and orange chicken. It was the best I've had upstate. Real pork fried rice, not the yellow stuff I've seen out here. Chicken was fresh and crispy and had perfect amount of sauce. We wanted a small thing of broccoli and they were very accommodating to make a special request off of the menu. It only took 10-15 minutes for pick up. Overall great experience read more

We were visiting family in the area and we were hungry from the long drive. We stopped to pick up some takeout and we were very happy with our choices. My sister ordered a boneless spare ribs combination and I ordered the chicken lo mein combination. Other than the steamed dumplings , which we found too doughy the food was great. I would definitely return here if ever back in the area. read more

So yummy !! The salt and pepper shrimp was good but a little too much salt for me. But we ordered a lot of other things and here they have healthy quality offerings . The people here are always nice, the portions ample. The lo mein, the shrimp , the veggies and the boneless pork (so saucy and savory ) were all awesome and not over salted , all just right . read more

The order was fast and cheap. I picked it up which was my intention. The staff were nice. The chicken and broccoli was very salty and the broccoli needed a bit more time. The sesame chicken's sauce was not as thick as I am used to. The chicken, thankfully, on both orders were cooked very well. I wasn't impressed, but also wasn't turned off by the place. I would go back if there are no other options or I need to get food quickly. read more

I ordered the shrimp egg roll, shrimp Fried rice with egg, and shrimp wontons - steamed. Unfortunately, all was pretty bland. If you want better food with flavor, go to Daxxons. read more

Best Chinese food in Walden! Fast service however it's takes time to cook and inside is very comfortable and clean 10/10

We have tried the 3 Chinese places in Walden, and it's probably the least tasty. We only chose it because it was open and delivered on a Sunday, the other two choices either were closed or didn't offer delivery. Ming Jie's told us 25 minutes for pick up, 45 for delivery. Our delivery actually took 1.5 hours. The food was super bland. I ordered sweet and sour chicken, crab rangoon, and tried one of my husband's fried wontons and scallion pancakes - blah flavor all around. My husband liked his chicken and broccoli dinner's flavor, and the fact that it wasn't drowning in oil/sauce. That's probably the only reason I'm giving it 2 stars. This place is only our desperation choice on Sundays... read more

This is my favorite place to get any kind of food. The scallion pancake, the sesame chicken, the mei fun, the lo mein, it's all always delicious and worth the extra pennies spent. I've come and sat down to eat with friends, and the service is always prompt and polite. You'll stop into grab some food here in the winter, and end up sitting down. You'll find yourself laughing with your friends and dipping your scallion pancake a little too long into the brown vinegar and you'll look up to see outside the window that it's started snowing lightly. The charm of the little village outside is so cozy, and the warmth of the hot tea your drinking is the most comforting thing. Anyway I can't recommend this place enough. read more

Excellent Chinese food. Eat in or take out. Their Staff is awesome. The only negative thing is, they don't deliver to MONTGOMERY.

This place has been in Walden for quite a few years. I figured I would give it a try. I ordered a sesame chicken combo platter and a side of Vegetables lo mein. It was $19. Thought that was a bit expensive for Chinese food. Being last week I had Chinese in Newburgh and the combo platter was $6. But anyways. I think I'm spoiled by eating chinease in the city. The menu is the same as every Chinese spot. The egg roll was a bit dry. Def not fresh made and hand rolled. The rice was a bit dry also. The chicken was good. I mostly ate the chicken. The veggie lo mein was the best thing. It was not swimming in sauce. lite in sauce. The veggies had a great crunch to them. Normally a lo mein can feel heavy after you eat it. Like taking a nap. This was not the case. I felt good. I would order that again. Again the chicken was good. But the rice was dry. Maybe it was just a bad night. I also have to remember this is not MR chow or TAO. For a local spot it's good. Overall. I will be back here in sure at some point when I'm visiting friends. Give it a try. I'm 50/50 on the food. But I would come back read more

Ming Jie's House - Sesame chicken platter. $10 - Chinese Near Me - Walden, New York

The food is good, no doubt - but be careful what you order. Most places that offer a combo special do a good job of making it worth the money. Unfortunately that is not the case this time. You will actually get LESS food if you order the combo than if you just order the main dish separately! The food is also very overpriced, esp given the local competition of three other Chineese restaurants in Walden. The food is very good, can't say it enough but the prices and portions need to be improved. This used to be our favorite take out place, until we did the math. read more

We ate here yesterday, on our way to Angry Orchard. The restaurant is super clean, the owners were so friendly, the food was amazing, and very inexpensive. I got the Cantonese stayed wonton soup. It was so yummy. They have great lunch specials with tons of food. I highly recommend this spot. read more

I usually order some chicken curry, but this time I ordered the beef curry. It tasted like Mongolian beef with a sweet but no curry spice taste, so guess I will have to stick to the chicken curry. I did order something different this time and that was the boneless BBQ pork and was very pleasantly surprised. I will definitely order this again. Ming Jie's is not one of the best Chinese restaurants, but it is certainly the best Walden, NY has to offer. read more

Best Chinese in Walden but it says there open mondays but there really only open Tuesday through Sunday

We always order for delivery. The normally come on time or earlier than they estimate. The food is always hot when it arrives. The food is plentiful and tastes great. The only thing that I don't like is the thickness of the steamed dumplings. They are delicious but the thickness of the dough is a bit much. Other than that, I definitely reccomend this outstanding chinese restaurant to everyone. read more

Better than expected, especially in small-town upstate NY. The service wasn't great: I had to flag the non-busy server down to get more water and another beer. But the food was decent for mainstream American Chinese. The General Tso was a little sweet for my taste but was fresh and cool properly. read more

Best Chinese food in Walden! They have the best dumplings around. They never get our order wrong. Everything is fresh. Only down side is they don't deliver but it's totally worth the drive to pick it up! Highly recommend! read more

order take out here though beyond menu 6/6/19. so I ordered fried jumbo shrimp with pork fried rice and a app of 4 teriyaki chicken sticks. so I was greeted by the waitress after she was with another customer and got my food very quickly and was thanked, but I noticed the container for my food was too small. I proceeded to open it and it was crab ragoons. another worker came out after she went back to speak with him after I told them about the wrong order given and noticed on their tablet they give me the wrong order. so the guy ran outside and grabbed my order that was being sent out for delivery. I was then given the correct order and they apologized for the mix up. the shrimp were pump and crispy, the pork fried rice was good, but bit greasy, but got to say they put all fixing for it, onions,scrambled eggs, peas. some places are cheap with the fried rice, glad they make it right. teriyaki chicken sticks, tasted more like char sui then teriyaki personally.i found the chicken still very tasty and juicy. next time, best to order over the phone or in person. read more

Ming Jie's House - fried jumbo shrimp/pork fried rice + teriyaki chicken sticks - Chinese Near Me - Walden, New York

Where can a large Italian family get together for good food at a great price? Ming Jie's House! This is hands down one of my favorite Chinese food restaurants in Orange County NY. The hot and sour soup is flavorful and spicy and the egg rolls aren't overly fried or greasy. They use very good quality white meat chicken for their dishes which I love. The General Tso's and Sesame Chicken are well sauced and not too heavy. They also have a large steamed section for those of you avoiding the fried and sauced dishes. The service is attentive and they have plenty of tables for a sit down meal. If you live close to Walden, you should make this your go-to Chinese food restaurant! read more

Prices are always changing. I mean that I order the same thing every time but somehow the price varies. They give a reciept with the english half ripped off so it's in chinese. They say free delivery but I swear they charge for delivering. I ordered 3 items and somehow my reciept had 4 items. I would not mind paying if they were honest about it. They will rip you off and be shady about it. I have to say the food is good but they are not honest about pricing and it's very disappointing. I'd like to add that when I ordered delivery they came and did not get out of the car. Instead sat there honking the horn. read more

Gave it a try. Delivery took 45 minutes which was the exact amount of time quoted. The food was eh....was it edible? Yes. Can I live without it? Yes. Nothing special, your average Chinese food which I felt was overpriced. My search continues for yummy Chinese food in this area. read more

Got Ming Jie's take out tonight for the first time. It was pretty good. The crab rangoon was over done and too crunchy and the fried rice had no salt. Like literally not even a pinch which definitely made it a bit bland. Other than that, the General Tso's chicken was fantastic and the eggdrop soup was great. It was all really fresh and know that it was made to order. I think it is priced a little high for Chinese food but it was a good dinner nonetheless. read more

Love this place. My favorite chinese food in the hudson valley. The food is never overly sauced, the vegetables are always fresh , crunch, and not the least bit overcooked. They don't use msg in anything they have. Try their specials, the chicken pad thai and pho are my favorites. read more

I usually go to my local Chinese place but I was very hungry and to lazy to drive the 30 minutes I usually drive to Daxxons. Ordered some very basic stuff and it was ok. Nothing to brag about, the chicken was a bit soggy but their egg rolls are great. Staff was polite and I waited just a few minutes. I may be back? read more

Went to this place for the first time recently. Place looks clean and people were nice. The food was very delicious and the portions were also very generous. This is my new favorite Chinese take out place. read more

Encountered nasty and hostile attitude. Food was reasonably good but didn't enjoy both the passive aggressive hostility in the form of ignoring ,e when I called the waitress or outright hostility and nastiness of the guy who manages the place. After three trips, took my business elsewhere. It seems they haven't figured out that having a pleasant attitude in a service business gets repeat business and nastiness loses business. It is their business, so yes, they can do what they want. read more

Consistently fresh, delicious and satisfying food. The service is superb and they make the best scallion pancake we've had since leaving San Francisco more than 20 years ago. Highly recommend!!! I have to confess to laughing at the review by Tracie who seems to be unaware that fried rice is traditionally made from leftover rice. LOL read more

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM HERE. OWNER IS RUDE AND HAS NO INTEREST IN SERVING CUSTOMERS I placed an Oder online for delivery. Before I placed it I called to make sure they will deliver to me AGAIN. (I'm 6 miles from the establishment) a gentleman said yes since they have delivered HERE before. I placed the Oder. I called back to confirm they received it. The owner, a women, said she will have to charge me $5 more and that my order may be more because the prices are different on the website. The website did not state that. I said I'm already being charged $5 more to go 6 miles and my order is already $55. She hung up on me. I called back because I figured it was a mistake. She said you can't pay then don't order here and hung up on me again. I barely had a word in before she went off and hung up on me. read more

We've eaten here a few times, and gotten takeout too - it's above-average Chinese to be sure, far less greasy than other places - but we had a bit of a misstep tonight. We ordered online, specifying the pickup time etc. Arriving precisely when the food was due to be ready, we walk in to an empty restaurant to find the chef asleep at one of the tables. He then goes over our order in a pretty haphazard way, disappears to cook it, brings it out and overcharges us for it. All without apology. Their card machine wasn't working either, and we have yet to find out how many times we were charged. It's not fun to feel pissed off while eating. read more

Yummy Chinese food! Everything we order is always prepared well. The food is fresh and delish. The service is friendly and accommodating with special requests. The atompshere is comfortable and homey. We have dined at many Chinese restaurants and Ming Jies is our favorite. read more

This place makes good food but gives horrible service. I call and get hung up on after trying to edit the order, and then when I call back get told "I so busy" well if thats the way you treat your customers its a surprise you're busy. Officially never coming here again. They can shove it! read more

Been here a few times and keep meaning to try something new but the orange chicken is sooo good.... Am getting some wontons this time too Quiet friendly lunch atmosphere. read more

What happened to this place? The last two takeout orders were horrible. The wontons in my soup were barely cooked and chewed like stale gum and the broth had a sour taste to it. The noodles in the Chicken Lo Mein were also undercooked on our next order and the Moo Shu Chicken had no taste. I have to say the Chicken with Snow Peas was very good but that was about the only bight spot on our last two orders. I don't think we will be ordering from here anymore. read more

This is one of the few Chinese restaurants in the area that features quality rather than quantity, although their portions are generous. It is also one of the few Chinese restaurants that is not a fast-food buffet or a small take-out place, although they do a good take-out busines. You can sit comfortably and enjoy. It is quiet with a pleasant ambience. The prices are very reasonable. I have tasted many entrees here, and they have all been delicious. The new Thai dishes are excellent. Try the Pad Thai with Thai tea. The staff is always friendly. I will go here again and again. read more

Always a fabulous meal. Accomodates GF! Interior is nice and a sit down meal here is a pleasure. Ask for specials...

Food & service was good ..This Chinese restaurant. The restaurant is under the Thai category. They were very nice just was a little disappointed as I was looking for more of a Thai menu. read more

When I lived in Walden, this was the ONLY place I would go for Chinese food. It was the first I had so, I don't know how it compares to the others but, I don't care... Ming Jie's is that good! Each time I'm near Walden, I go there. I have had lots on the menu and loved it all. My only complaint is its hard for me to understand them on the phone. But, the food is awesome! Oh, they will let you mix and match the dinner for two for any of the "Dinner for" items. read more
