I moved to this side of town April of 2018. I'm a avid fan and Chinese food and found Ming Palace. Customer service is okay, owner or manager always seems stressed out. He is not nice to the doordash people and seems to get annoyed when he received a order from doordash on is laptop. Yes, you can see his laptop from the dinner room area. I use to spend at least $200. a month and would bring friends family, kids, and neighbors to eat here each month. Well because the food is so good. On Nov 21,2018 I came in and was talking with someone about a vehicle. I ordered a drink and was planning on eating after my conversations since the person was not hungry. I was snapped at my the manager/owner that I can not conduct business here. Om what are you talking about? He said you have to order something. While I was trying to explain to I just ordered a drink and planning on ordering a meal after this person leaves. He started getting louder then other customer were looking at us. He said go to Starbucks! I said you are not listening and getting bad for no reason, I'm trying... he cuts me off and jumps down my throat again. Then I get loud, look I spent $200 a month each month on your food, you are taking this way to serious.. At this point my company is angry and said let's just leave. I was like I just ordered a soda I have to pay for it, not that she brought it to me. All in all the manager/owner was a complete asshole to me and my friend. He refused to listen to me, I was going to order, but no he wouldn't let me explain this. It's been 6 months and I have taken my business elsewhere. Also non of my family, neighbors or friends will come to your restaurant. I was a valid customer who treated you with dignity and respect your could not offer the same to a regular customer. You even have my phone and couldn't call and explain the issue you have experience, I would of at least listen. So to that I will never come back. If you do not like Door Dash get off the platform! Taking your anger out on customer is unexceptable! $200 loss a month x 6 months $1,200 loss. read more

I placed an order online and when it was takin long I called and asked where my food was I was issued excuses and then hung up on. I called back and asked why he was extremely rude and I said I prepaid and would like my food he refused to deliver my food because I complained about delivery time and failure to let me know He told me to find another restaurant. Very sad place and treatment is awful. read more

Our search for great vegetarian, Chinese food, in Sacramento continues. The food was fine, hot, fresh, not incredibly expensive. We got two fried tofu dishes and an eggplant dish.The tofu was very bland, maybe using all the same fried (ish) tofu and tossed in different sauces. The sauces were very bland and not unique or special in any way. The food was edible but not worth another visit. read more

Ordered pickup, very nice interior and clean. Very polite and hospitable. Great food at a reasonable price.

First time here. I called ahead and placed my meal to go. I ordered the Mongolian beef dinner. It included the beef, two sides, I picked double pork fried rice, piece of foil wrapped chicken and an egg roll. The beef was very flavorful and the onions were actually cooked all the way, unlike a lot of Chinese dishes I seem to eat. There was a perfect ratio of beef to onion/veggies. The fried rice was also very good. It doesnt have a ton of veggies which I am a big fan of, but still holds good flavor. The foil wrapped chicken dish have too much flavor but the egg roll was very good, perfect crunch and not soggie on inside. I usually never eat more than a bite but I was wishing there was 2 of them. Overall it was a good find. Delicious food at a great price! I will definitely be coming back! read more

Ming Palace - Mongolian beef, pork fried rice - Chinese Near Me - Sacramento, California

I'm happy to say that Ming Palace has earned a well-deserved four stars. The service from beginning to end was superb, and our delivery came right on time, and it was still piping hot! The portions were generous and quite delicious. My only problem was that there wasn't any MORE chow mein . By the way, I ended up getting the shrimp chow mein, and obviously I loved it. We've gotten food from here numerous times, and the service has still been excellent through and through. This will probably be our go-to Chinese takeout spot for a while. read more

Amazing food. Have eaten here about 5 times and never disappointed. Tonight I got the broccoli beef, Mongolian chicken, chicken chow mein and honey walnut shrimp. This will be my future order as well! Every bite was as good as the last. Staff is friendly and try their best to get orders out quickly but it can be busy during dinner hours for take out. read more

We LOVE the food here! I only have delivery as reference due to COVID- our food is delicious, hot, and there's never a mistake with our order. Mongolian Beef Chow mein Green Beans (w/ Kung Pao sauce) Hot & Sour soup Veggie egg rolls Chicken pot stickers Each of these dishes we've ordered repeatedly, and they're all good- especially the green beans! read more

When visiting a town you really don't have much to go on except what you happen upon or looking for reviews on Yelp, Travelocity, etc. Even with only 3 stars, I decided to take a chance on this restaurant. I was hoping that it would be the better experience some reviewers have had. Not to be. It was just OK for the most part. My dad and I were out on a rainy evening craving some tasty potstickers and hot n sour soup. The potstickers were the small, premade, frozen variety. Asked to have them prepared extra crispy...they were not. They were very limp and greasy. Flavor almost non-existant. If not for the soy ginger dipping sauce, not sure I would have ate more than one. The soup...well...it was hot, not as sour as I like. The flavor was off putting at first, but it kind of grew on us. Next we ordered Kung Pao chicken. It is my dad's favorite. He asked if it was hot, he like it spicy, the waitress said that it was hot. It wasn't. Too many large chunks of bell pepper and onion. Not enough spice. Moving on, we ordered House Special chow mein (really it is lo mein). Great flavor with plenty of chicken, shrimp and bbq pork. Final dish was my pick. I read orevious reviews that the garlic chicken was very tasty, but I also wanted asparagus. I requested an order of Asparagus Chicken with the garlic sauce. Once again, our waitress stated this dish was hot. It wasn't, but that is ok. My mouth was still throbbing from the hot n sour soup, lol. The garlic flavor had a hint of sweetness and complimented the perfectly prepared asparagus and chicken. This, in my opinion, was the star of our entire meal. All in all, if I were visiting in this part of town again, I would return and try a couple different items, plus the Chicken and Asparagus with garlic sauce. read more

Horrible horrible service... saw them call on a driver and get him fired all because they wanted to be rude. Then they go and be rude to their customers. After all of that the general chicken was horrible and I had a hair in my broccoli beef. I told them and they just brushed it off. I mean seriously? No respect for it's customers. Do yourself a favor and take your money elsewhere and save yourself the trouble. read more

*******DO NOT EAT AT THIS DIRTY PLACE!!***** Today, my office ordered from Ming Palace Chinese Restaurant mainly because of the FREE DELIVERY....And look what I found in my pot stickers....a ROACH!!! read more

Ming Palace - There is a ROACH on my Pot Sticker!! - Chinese Near Me - Sacramento, California

I ordered delivery, well because I'm lazy and have no gas in my car. Anyway I ordered with the online app found on their website. I ordered crab rangoon, eh it was salty and bland. The Mongolian beef was definitely americanized, not spicy whatsoever. In fact it was lacking any flavor other than onion. The egg roll is very greasy and not much flavor to it. I also ordered generals chicken for later. I took a bite. It has some flavor but again no spice. I'm kinda dissapointed. The prices weren't bad $20 bucks for 2 lunch plates and a order of crab rangoon. Free delivery. But the food is just too bland for me. Its too bad. Well I guess I will continue my search for decent Chinese food with flavor! read more

Great food good service, we used to eat at the restaurant but since the pandemic we have been ordering takeout.

I thought their food was really yummy! I am pregnant and have been craving Chinese food so this hit the spot! Great chow mein and I also really loved the broccoli, snowpeas, and water chestnuts. I would definitely eat here again! read more

Cheap, American-style Chinese food ready in 15 minutes or less! Since there aren't many Asian restaurants in this area, by default, you can ether go here or Panda Express. The restaurant itself is a bit dark and run-down looking--cleanliness I'd give it a 2/5 as it could definitely use a face lift. They have a bar area although I've never seen a dedicated bartender as the waitresses usually serve tables and attend patrons at the bar. Food is very oily and a bit on the bland side--I ordered their chicken chow mein, calamari with jalapeños, and fried rice. All of these dishes needed more seasoning! I added red vinegar, Siracha sauce, and soy sauce to the chow mein and fried rice just so it would taste like something other than oily noodles and plain rice. The calamari came with a sweet and sour and spicy mustard dipping sauce so that helped give it some flavor. I'd give their food a 1/5. Service is great though! A solid 4/5 as the two elderly women who work in the front are always smiling and complementing their customers! Overall, Panda Express wins my vote over this place. read more

Ming Palace - Chinese Near Me - Sacramento, California

Ming Palace is a Chinese restaurant with a full bar... ding ding ding! You don't see that very often (excluding chain restaurants, and I try to avoid those in favor of small businesses). Unfortunately we skipped the drinks since we're trying to cut back on hooch calories, but we will eventually put that bar to the test! We shared a bowl of egg flower soup (pretty good), he had the combo dinner with Peking chicken (good taste, plenty of food) and I had the BBQ pork chow fun (YUM noodley-goodness YUM). Our bill was fairly cheap and our service was quick; we were in and out of Ming Palace in 30 minutes. Hovering somewhere between 3 and 4 stars... the food isn't mind-blowing and it wasn't a memorable experience, but we left full and happy nonetheless. read more

I had the walnut shrimp lunch with the fried rice and eggroll. They give you egg soup and fried noodles to begin with. The walnut shrimp was delicious, but the pork fried rice was oddly dark....it wasn't brown rice either. I've never been a fan of chinese egg rolls. lol It tasted okay. The food came out fast and the staff was friendly. Place is decent and has very good prices! read more

They recently added a noodle bowl with pork and it was awesome! I dont have to go down to Stockton Blvd anymore to get it. As always the staff is very friendly and service is fast! cant beat the prices or the food in this area. read more

Ming Palace - Best Lunch in Town! - Chinese Near Me - Sacramento, California

This restaurant was recommended to me by a friend, who goes regularly and really enjoys their food. So, take this review as just one opinion. I found nothing special about the generals chicken, potstickers or other dishes I tried. Very mediocre and I am unlikely to go back. Nothing horrible, just not the best Chinese food. read more

Ordered Mongolian Tofu to go. The Tofu was burnt. No quality control.

I ordered online a meal for 2 with Sweet and Sour(not sweet lots of breading and little meat) Pork Fried Rice (Bland no flavor), Chicken Chow Mein(Bland) Egg Rolls(tasted like Cinnamon) Potstickers (ick), Broccoli Beef(soggy and no flavor, the Broccoli was good though). The whole order was wet, Soggy, it was really hot when delivered maybe the steam made it soggy and flavorless. I want be going back for more. read more

Love this place best Chinese food, always fresh and good, my order is always perfect, i got my mom hooked on this place she drive from Elk Grove to get food from here too!!!! read more

I ordered it online and got a notice that it was ready in like 3 mins! No wonder Chow mein was so bad. It looked like it has been sitting there and they just refried it. On top of that, it was plain and had no taste. I will not return. read more

First time trying this place and the Veggie Delight was indeed delightful. I ordered through DoorDash pickup and this one is the light garlic option. I will definitely be back again. read more

Ordered delivery for the first time from here tonight. I got 4 crab Rangoon, 8 chicken pot stickers, Singapore street noodle with pork and General Tsao chicken. The Arden arrived quickly and with no fuss. The quality of the food was superb. The crab Rangoon were crispy but not hard and tasted slightly of green onion( delicious). I wished I had ordered more than 4! The potstickers were tasty and fresh with the standard dipping sauce. Definitely a win. The Singapore street noodles were excellent. Cooked beautifully, they were firm and not at all mushy with a nice amount of egg, pork and onion. The curry was present and enhanced the dish in the best way. The General Tsao chicken has probably the best sauce I've had for that dish. The spice is right up front and there while not being overwhelming and while being sweet not too much. Very nicely balanced. My only criticism ( slight at that) is the chicken is a touch bready and in some of the breadier bites the fryer oil taste sneaks in a hair. Still All in all one of the best General Tsao chickens I've had. I've now gotten food twice (tonight and a lunch combo last week) and I have to say consistently excellent overall. WY way way better than any other Chinese food I've tried in my area. read more

We used to love this place and would order take out a lot since its super close. The quality if the food used to be the best we've ever had, but the past 2 times we've ordered it's not very good. Tonight we ordered and the food wasn't worth what we paid for. Kung pay chicken had more peanuts then chicken, beef and broccoli tasted off, even the pork fried rice didn't taste too good. Three hours after eating it me and my bf had such a bad stomach ache. Probably won't ever go back, which is a shame because it used to be so good. read more

Ordered through doordash on a whim and was not disappointed! We got so much for and it was so amazing!!!! The walnut shrimp was huge and sooo good. Thank you so much for our holiday dinner! Cant wait to try them again read more

Best Chinese food ever. Been going to them for over 20 years. You can wait at the bar while you're food is getting ready (semi full bar, drinks are normal prices and you get more than what you'd expect ), eat in the restaurant or have it delivered for free. I always order their chicken chow mein, walnut shrimp, kung pow beef, old style shrimp, calamari, wonton soup and orange chicken. Never been dissatisfied. Tried other chinese food and never tested better. Believe me I've tried others due to my location and they never beat them. No where beats it. Plus the people there are so friendly. read more

Seriously the best Chinese restaurant I've been too. Me and my boyfriend went here for lunch/dinner and we're not disappointed! For the APPETIZERS we got the fried calamari, cause I wanted it lol and the plate was huge. Compared to Cheesecake Factory and malibar American grill, Ming has the best. At mings you get good sized tentacles covered really well in the tempura batter. Not too greasy either. And I'm not so big on the baby squid as a whole so another thumbs up for mings! No intact squid( although idk if it's in another dish)oh and dip your calamari in the sweet red sauce! For our ENTEEE we got one of the few different combos you can chose from. My plate was chow mein, fried rice and mushroom chicken. The RICE WAS DELICIOUS!!! Not dry at all, which with the fried rice I've always had is dry. the CHOW MEIN was also delicious, I know this because my boyfriend is picky about his chow mein and he loved this chow mein haha Now by the time we had our fill of food, we still could not see the bottom of our plates. One combo is good for two people! We took three Togo boxes home! Now go and enjoy this place!!! read more

Ordered General chicken, shrimp fried rice and pot stickers. I regretted it. Poor quality food. Used to be good. They dont make fresh pot stickers anymore, its obvious they use the frozen out of bag. Fried rice was soggy you can tell the rice was really old. The few shrimp that were un rice were not cooked at all, bo flavor bland frozen and not cooked. The general chicken had small square pieces of hard frozen chicken as well. Batter was completely fallen off from each piece. Used to live down the street and got delivery more then 100btimes, I lived there for 6 years this was my go to spot, it's clear there quality has dropped. Also they expect $25 minimum to get delivery. I would rate this place 0. Unsafe food, disgusting and would not eat it for free! read more

Ming Palace - Schezuan chicken was nasty! - Chinese Near Me - Sacramento, California

I ordered from Ming Palace, through GrubHub, and this was not the first time. The order was for Cashew Chicken and Chicken Teriyaki. We did not receive Cashew Chicken, looked more like Chicken with Vegetables in a weird dark sauce. The Chicken Teriyaki was even worse! It was weirdly sliced pieces of chicken swimming in what looked like a full bottle of store-bought sauce. Oh, and four very small pieces of broccoli included. Suffice it to say, we will NOT be ordering from this restaurant in the future. Don't understand it, they used to be a decent restaurant (at least 3-4 stars). Do not recommend this place of business to anyone. read more

We have been going to this wonderful restaurant for over 25 years and the staff is always amazing and the food is great, except tonight. Tonight we went in ordered our usual and nothing tasted the same. Frozen vegetables were used, the whole meal tasted like corners were being cut but the cost wasnt. We got the same amazing staff but the food was NOT good! Don't know why if they changed owners, cooks or just got cheap but...yuck. read more

Best Chinese food this side of Sacramento and very affordable. Full bar makes it Ben more appealing and the beer is always ice cold. Great lunch and dinner deals. My favorites so far are the sizzling rice soup, hot crispy Szechuan shrimp, and salt & pepper pork. read more

Ming Palace - Get at least one Tsingtao - Chinese Near Me - Sacramento, California

I wouldn't even bother to give this place a single star. I've never, in my life, ever been charged for rice with my Chinese food. On top of that, I was given the smallest carton for my rice and it wasn't even filled. I ordered shrimp egg foo young and the shrimp was in the egg foo young, it was in the gravy. There were 6 shrimp for 16.95. Worst dining experience EVER!!! Overpriced, underwhelmed and the service was awful!!!! DO NOT EAT HERE!!! read more

UPDATE: Went in again this week and consistency is best. HUGE plump honey walnut shrimp, with fast service, and lots of fresh ice water. I used the Yelp cash back and received 1.18 back from a visit for two for lunch. Not bat AT all! read more

Ming Palace - Honey Walnut Prawn lunch plate with BBQ Pork Fried Rice - Chinese Near Me - Sacramento, California

Wow, what a Trainwreck! Rude service, rude people and dirty restaurant. Here is what happened to me. I placed an online order to be delivered to my home, it was a Saturday night and I pretty much expected a delay, it happens. 20 minutes after the committed delivery time my wife calls the place to ask about the status of our order expecting something along the lines of "it's on its way, sorry for the delay". But no. What we got instead was a rotten person informing us that they won't be delivering the food and didn't even offer a refund! I usually don't step in for my wife because she can handle herself just fine but their call ended and I was not about to let this go. So I called and spoke to the person and they quickly became agitated because I was upset of how they treated my wife and our order. He finally offered a refund and I told him I'd be leaving a review of my experience and he simply laughed saying how they have been there for so long they don't care what I have to say. Then I looked on Yelp, I should have done this from the start, I learned my lesson, and I found review after review of similar situations, of disgusting behaviour topped with a disgusting environment. I'm talking roaches crawling on tables, in people's food you name it. I will never eat from here and I'd like knowledge of their terrible service to be spread like the roaches they serve in their food. What troubles me most is that for ever review you read there MUST be at least a dozen more that go on posted by people afraid to speak up. This place needs to learn that disgusting service as well as location will not be tolerated. This place needs to be shut down. Can we get a surprise health inspector to drop the hammer on this place? read more
