I finally hit this place up a while back after it being on my list for a considerable length of time. I was definitely looking forward to it. Unfortunately, I wasn't quite as thrilled as I hoped I'd be but it was still good. Anyway, I got a rice bowl with duck/pork/veggies and beef chow fun. Roast duck - Pretty good, despite not being a huge fan of duck. Roast pork - Good for this style of roast pork, but a little too dry. Didn't really blow me away. Beef chow fun - This was ok. A little too greasy for me though. I guess I was just hoping for something more so I was slightly disappointed. I gotta say that the prices are on point though so I'll definitely be back to give it another shot. Hopefully it's a grower. 3 read more

Drove around Buford Hwy last night looking for some food to eat and just happened upon this place, that was tucked all the way in the back of the plaza where it's located. Nothing special about the restaurant or service but the food was delish! BF had roasted duck soup and I had jumbo shrimp with scallions and ginger. The food came out very quick. The roasted duck was delicious and sweet and fatty and delicious and BF gave me some of the skins to eat (which reminds me, that should be a snack itself. If it is where can I get because I LOVE crispy duck skins???). Oh and his broth was so good that he tupped the bowl, drank the bowl and then proceeded to ask for more broth and finished that as well. My jumbo shrimp was yummy and gingery and onion-y (I love onions, too). I can't wait till we're over in this area again. read more

I must admit, Ming's Bar B Que had been so hyped up by my friends (who I now realize have no idea how or what to order in this dinky little shop), that there was no way for them to live up to the frenzy these boys had created. I was also totally suckered in by all of the glistening and crispy meats hanging in the window, as well as the crowds. This place was jam packed on Sunday afternoon, doing a brisk take out business as well as lots of people eating in. No ambiance, but they do have a fair amount of tables. So, why doesn't Ming's get the big five star review? Dry BBQ pork is not a plus in my book. Maybe I should have asked for a fattier piece, but I wasn't paying a ton of attention with the wild crowd at my back, and really, everything looked fabulous in the window, I never imagined that it could be dry. My pals suggested a ridiculous dish that turned out to be very bland, but I'm not faulting Ming's for that...I should have known better. I'm actually willing to give them another shot...they have a big menu, generous portions, prices look good, and that duck looked freaking phenomenal, but even with misguided ordering directions, dried out BBQ pork is not cool, even when the flavors are right. read more

This place has not been as good as it used to be lately...is it because the better cooks are at the newer location on Pleasant Hill now? Anyway... Menu is still long and varied which is impressive for a tiny place. But the dishes are mostly pretty sloppy these days, not standing out from an average place at all. Ingredients don't feel very fresh and seasoning feels indecisive. Used to be a very solid, if not one of the best, places for beef chowfun, but I had it again this week and was bland in taste and lackluster in execution. Not saying all dishes are bad now, they just no longer stand out. The BBQ themselves remain mostly good but definitely not as consistently good as they used to be. It feels like the recipe is still fine but freshness is sporadic and the grease can be too heavy, and the surface of the meats don't look as appetizing as they should (color, texture, etc) when it's served to you. Honestly I don't know of a *much* better Cantonese BBQ place in town either so I am gonna stick with a 3 star. But kind of disappointed by the decline in quality. read more

I've come here several times over the years, but I've never had a multi-course meal here until about a week ago. Let's see if I can remember everything we ordered: 1) Pickled sour mustard greens with pig stomach/intestines- Our friends highly recommended this dish- It was a bit on the sweet side- too much sugar. Tasted decent for intestines. Score: 3 2) Wonton noodle soup- This was great- reminded me of stuff I could get in the SF bay area. Good noodles, good wontons. Score: 4 3) 1/2 a roasted duck- Despite all the raves about their duck, I always think that their duck is decent- good, but not great. Always too greasy for me. Score: 3 4) Singapore style stir-fried vermicelli- Again, good, but nothing special. Score: 3 5) snow pea sprout tips- ok. score: 3 6) chili pepper and salt fried pork chops- This was done as it should alwasy be done- a light layer of 'breading' covering the pork- it was pretty tasty, but a bit more chili peppers would've been nice. score: 3.5 The reason why I give this place a 4 is the more than reasonable prices they charge for each dish. The wonton soup noodle was $3.99!!! I would come back just for that! Overall, it's a great place for no-nonsense, authentic, and cheap Cantonese eats. And yes, make sure you've got cash. read more

Total hole-in-the-wall but that is why I love it. Super affordable and very authentic Chinese BBQ. In fact, this is the only place in Atlanta that I would recommend Chinese BBQ. They have the best flavor and quality above any other joint in this city. (Yes, that was a challenge.) I tend to always order the BBQ Duck with rice plate but I've been here with various sizes of groups and have tried most everything on the menu. They have a pretty extensive menu with a lot of variety but stick with the basics - as in, I don't recommend ordering curry in a Chinese BBQ place. Other yummy items - the chow fun noodles, dry or wet, soy sauce chicken, BBQ pork. Their veggie dishes are also quite suitable for dining vegetarians, too if you have to bring one of those along with you. The staff is pretty awesome and accomodating - but I also speak Chinese. I can't vouch for how well the service translates into anything other than Chinese but these folks are great people. Cash only. read more

Their chicken and duck over rice is to die for! Everything we tried here are absolutely delicious. Friendly service, I would recommend anyone who needs to get their Cantonese bbq fix read more

While I've been to the other location in duluth many many times...this was my FIRST visit to their original asian square location. We went for lunch and each got a entree for a WHOPPING total of $13...cheap eats at its best! While my friends soy sauce chicken and crispy pork topped with rice and blanched veggies were amazing. My wonton noodle soup left something to be desired. The broth was kind of one note/bland salty msg water and the wontons did not taste super fresh. Maybe I'm kind of a wonton snob now, since I spent so much time in asia the last two years....but this was really just lack luster. So skip the wonton noodle soup folks...go for the Cantonese meat dishes or chow fun! read more

Now here's a great traditional Hong Kong style restaurant. The speciality here are the wonderfully flavored meat. From chicken to pork, they will season it in a way that will make you think your taste buds are having an affair. Now the decor in this restaurant is nothing to be proud of, nor the service sometimes. It is a barebones dive style restaurant that will be sure to please, and at a super low price at that. The Pleasant Hill location has better selection of decor and offers a better dine in experience, though that shouldn't deter you from enjoying this Buford Hwy location. If you're a fan of Hong Kong style Bar B Q, you'll love Ming's. I'll be returning when I have that urge to dine for their amazing offering of wonderfully seasoned meats. read more

Good authentic chinese bbq!! The only complaint is that this lady that works or the owner kept giving us glares for some reason and that was incredibly rude. Like my dad said in canto 'this lady looked at me like I owed her money'. We bought so much food and she still had a stank face. Customer service is a big deal and I think this lady needs to be a little nicer. read more

Agree with the recent reviewers who say this place is getting worse and worse. I've been a patron for around 3 years and it has been pretty bad the last several tries. Food is so inconsistent but borders on the not good side much too frequently. The bbq pork cuts this last visit completely sucks...looks like garbage - very sloppy plating, poor cuts, a quarter of the dish is scraps, microwaved meat - straight up looks like leftovers nuked the next day. Why would I pay for that? And, the waitstaff (and owner) says that's how it suppose to be. Lame excuses... Service is virtually non-existent. Four dishes ordered but somehow the incompetence shows up when the waitress puts in 1/4 wrong dishes when the place was only 3-4 tables occupied and comes asking if we want that wrong dish instead because she messed up in remembering since she thought she was good enough not to write down the order and take the 8 steps back to the computer to punch in the ticket. We said, no thanks. They should have offered it free to us. No check-ins on us until the end. Clearly, when they dumped the bill onto us when we were finishing up our meal without clearing out our finished dishes marked the end of a horrible meal. We left a below average tip... AND VOWED NEVER TO RETURN. read more

This place really has it all... Chinese BBQ...check Noodles....check Vegetarian...check CHICKEN FEET...CHECK! The staff is always pleasant and the food is consistently good. You can not go wrong with the rice dishes and the vegetarian menu is super delish. To too it all off...free Dum Dums at the register Go eat! read more

Had their pecking duck and bbq pork some time ago and I thought it was alright. There is HK music playing in the background, the owners are cantonese, the duck tasted good. It was an alright joint. There are a few caveats, however. The bbq pork was cold as if it has been sitting out for a while, not even under a heat lamp where it should be. The rice was a bit on the dry side. They served the pecking duck with these little kind of foldable buns instead of the tortilla like pancakes I am used to. They didn't have much sides for the pecking duck either. Sad. It did satisfy my cantonese cravings though. I may or may not come back, depending on if I find better canto places. read more

See all

Yes, they do have yin yeung (milk tea/coffee) or, if it's not on the menu, they'll make it for you, no questions asked. =D The peidan souyook jook (thousand year old egg and lean pork congee) and the gon chow nguw ho (fried flat rice noodles with beef) are good too. read more

Food is average but be very careful on how you order. I ordered wonton noodle soup (4.99). If you add bbq pork, roast pork, or duck, it's 6.99. So i decided to get the wonton noodle soup with bbq pork. When I got the bill, it was 9.65 but it should have been 6.99 plus tax. I asked them why the difference and they said i ordered the bbq pork noodle soup add wonton. I told them wonton was not a meat selection on their menu and i ordered wonton noodle couple add bbq pork. They didnt have much to say and asked for the 9.65. I wanted to get out of there at that point because it's shady business. 2 dollars is nothing to me and would have went to them as tip anyways but they got nothing and wont get my business anymore. read more

My family favorite place to go! My husband always get the duck and I like the fish fillet black bean sauce. They never disappoint us! Fast service read more

Yum Yum Yum Yum. So I'm from Greenville, SC, and we have no places like this here. My friends and I love dim sum and duck, and we have to make special trips to Atlanta or NY to get it. I think we scared the employees since we ordered a table full of food for 3 people, but hey, it's a treat for us. The duck was fantastic. Crispy perfect skin, moist duck. It was delicious. The roast pork had excellent flavor, but it was a little on the fatty side. Beef chow fun is my favorite dish, and they did me proud. We will be back, and I can only hope it will be soon. read more

It's cheap & the best place to get roast duck in ATL. Went here recently with a friend for a quick lunch. The menu is huge as well as the portions while the prices are cheaply affordable. The honey roast pork is fantastique. Your basic southern meat + 3, Asian style. It's a plus if you can speak/read Chinese since they have specials posted on the walls which I am sure are delicious. read more

I have been a loyal costumer at this restaurant for years. Yesterday my friend and I went to Ming's to get take out. The customer service was horrible.The cashier was incredibly rude and impatient with us. She rushed us to make our order and rolled her eyes when asked the specific ingredients in the pan fried noodles with vegetables. We left due to her nasty attitude and took our business to another restaurant. There are too many restaurants that serve Cantonese food to be subject to such atrocious customer service. My family and I will Never go to Ming's again. read more

Highest marks for char sui and duck. Working my way through the menu and cannot find a bad dish yet, though some are stronger than others (Singapore pan fried rice noodles, a little dull.) Colorful and delicious eggplant with garlic sauce, deep and rich beef chow fun with black bean sauce are favorites. Always looking for a reason to go back. read more

The only place I get Chinese BBQ from. I have been going her since I was a kid. My favorite is the soy sauce chicken but everything on the menu is delicious. read more

Best roast duck in town, crispy, tender and so flavorful!! The roast pork is great as well! I just want to try the whole menu!!!

We have some Asian friends who love this place and we met them here for dinner. We tried the honey roast pork and the duck. We also had greens, salt & pepper prawn, salt & pepper fried tofu, beef chow fun, and of course steamed rice and hot tea. For the salt & pepper dishes, the pepper isn't what comes to mind for Westerners, but are slices of a spicy green crisp pepper. They don't make their dishes hot and spicy, so you can avoid them if you prefer mild foods. The salt dishes are also quite salty. All the ingredients looked to be quality and the cooking was very authentic per our hosts. My favorites were the pork, and second favorite was the beef fun chow, with everything else being very close for third place. We enjoyed our visit and nothing went to waste. read more

You really can't go wrong with a store that proudly displays their food in the window. A nice roasted pig and some roasted duck just hanging in the window. This place has your average duck on rice, or upgrade to TWO MEATS!!! The noodle options here are also delicious...I'm a sucker for meats that come over rice or noodles, so I've never tried any other types of dishes here. The other dishes I have seen do look delicious. All I can say is, get yourself over to Ming's and order yourself a roast duck and bbq pork over rice...or noodles! read more

I miss this place. They probably have the best chinese BBQ. We don't have a place like this in Austin. I definitely recommend the Roast duck, Combination intestines, and roasted pork. The place is super tiny but probably the most authentic Chinese you'll find in Atlanta, GA. read more

Three words: honey roasted pork! I ordered the 2-meat rice dish with HRP and the duck. The duck was whatever; it was mostly bone :( The HRP definitely saved my dinner though; I'm gonna order the rice dish with just HRP from now on. Also, the food was pretty good for an affordable price! I paid for both me and my roommate when we went together recently, and I'm still not mad about it haha This review is only based on the one time I went here, but I'll definitely be back. The food comes out super quickly, and it makes both my belly and my wallet happy :) read more

Roast pork (shou rou) -- nice crispy skin with tender meat. Not too dry. Very good. BBQ pork (cha siew) -- pretty good, very tender, although could be flavored a bit better. I believe both of these were $8.50 a pound. I just got it to go. Will be back here again -- small little place that I'm sure sells some great home cooking Chinese food. read more

Last night, I decided to try Ming's. I'd heard of it before and had to drive up and down Buford to find it. It is tucked away in the back of the old Ranch 99 parking lot. You would never find it unless you were specifically looking for it. I was disappointed. The service was good since there were few people in the place, but not friendly. We were given some water, but it tasted terrible....but sometimes that is just Atlanta tap water, so I gave them the benefit of the doubt. Food: Not so great. I generally assume that any Chinese restaurant with duck and roast pork hanging in the window must be pretty authentic, but I was wrong. I have had better Chinese from Americanized take out restaurants. We ordered 2 dishes. (1) Duck over rice with vegetables - the duck was luke-warm, but I am told that is how it should be prepared. Taste was ok. There were hardly any vegetables on the plate. Well, only a couple of pieces of napa cabbage. Portion size was fine. (2) Chow fun noodles with beef - also good portion size. I thought the noodles were a bit oily. Just average; nothing special. Ambiance: none. Menus in Chinese were on the wall. Place just felt dirty from the second we walked in. Thankfully, didn't see any bugs. I definitely would not go back for a sit down meal. I may consider going to the the counter for some take-out roast pork or duck, but that's about it. read more

This place feels and looks so dirty. I used to really like this place because 10 years ago there weren't many places you could get honey bbq pork or roast duck. But now there are many better places that feel clean and look much better. Try the pleasant hill location, it's way better. And has anyone else heard about that skinned cat in the back alley last year? google it! read more

Sorry, but no. Yes, there's meat (always a big plus with me). But I just don't like the quality of the meat, nor the flavors. I've been brought to this restaurant and its sister in Gwinnett, and they are both subpar for me. It's good quantity for the price, but after giving it two tries, I don't see myself coming here again. read more

For the pleasent hill location opening for so long now, a lot of people tend to forget this place is still open. The original location of Ming's in my book. If you're familiar with the sister location, this place isn't too different, this location even took some of the menu's of the sister location to use as their own. But food is pretty cheap, plenty, and just quick and easy chinese food. I've had some friends who will stay away from this place due to it's past history in the press but honestly, i'm a fan of "ignorance is bliss, until I have food poisoning" I like that I can get a bowl of noodles here for about 5-6 bucks, plates of roasted pig or duck and a plate of vegetables for under $12. I tend to get either one just listed, depending on if i'm share with a group or just eating for myself. It's no thrills or frills with this place for me. It's simple and cheap. I would treat it more as a stop and go for good chinese food. Be far warned though, this place is cash only. So if you have that one person who never carries cash, your group better have extra cash handy. read more

The food is inconsistent. The honey roasted BBQ pork is good as was the black bean chicken ($7) but it's hit or miss. You do get a good bargain. The rice meat rice dish is $6.99. One thing that annoyed me was the waitress asked if I wanted my rice on the plate or on a separate plate ( I assumed to keep it separate from the sauce and oil of the food). I asked for a separate plate of rice and it ended of adding another $1 to the price. Not a big amount but I don't eat much rice and I got a softball amount. WORST PART: I found a small black bug with yellow dots in my old and not fresh looking bok choy. I live by the what you don't know can't hurt you but this I knew. While they replaced it, they didn't offer a discount. It can happen anywhere but the way they went about it was disappointing. The service was typical but fast. The place is surprisingly small for such a popular place but can probably hold around 60 or so. They keep it pretty well maintained. CASH AND DEBIT ONLY. I'm half half on this place. read more

Ordered 2 meat bbq rice plate and he fen. Super cheap and good tasting.. Portions are quite large too. Nothing spectacular but great value to price ratio read more

Ming's Bar B Que - Barbeque Near Me - Doraville, Georgia

As a fan of places with animals hanging in the window and as a recent transplant to the Atlanta area, I'm happy to have found Ming's. Having tried hanging animals in the Chinatowns of NYC, San Francisco, Boston, and Toronto, I would rate Ming's highly, though not among the best. The duck skin is crispy, but could use a little more lacquer, and while the flavor is very good, it could use a little more intensity. The crispy pork is excellent, with lots of little bits of crunchy skin and fat. One thing missing from the plates of rice and hanging meats is a good house sauce. The best places (like the awesome Wai Wai Ice Cream in Boston) ladle on a sauce of soy, vinegar, green onions, and some mystery ingredients that are probably best left unknown. Service is prompt and polite. I've been with kids and I've seen families there, and the waitstaff seems to be adept at dealing with the children, though there are no child-specific items on the menu. The menu is larger than the average place of this kind, and I plan to eat my way through it. read more

This place gets 4 stars out of loyalty, but the overall food and service should really only get a 3. I've been going here for years, but recently the food has not been up to par. On my most recent visit, I got the Salt & Pepper Calamari (~$9), Beef Chow Fun (~$8), and a friend got the Singapore Noodles (~$8). Those turned out to be too salty, while my calamari was slightly soggy and also super salty. The chow fun didn't have as much taste as I wanted, and while it had a burnt smell, I couldn't taste it so didn't bother to get a re-do. We went on a weekday, and apparently there's some consensus amongst my friends that the food tastes good on the weekend, and if you don't want to have a hit and miss with the menu items, just stick with the BBQ Pork. Not worth my money. I'll only come back for the BBQ Pork or on the weekends. read more

Love it! We come here at least once a month for some Roasted duck, bbq pork and congee. It's delicious! Service is hit and miss, but his place is great! One of our Buford Highway favorites! read more

Yikes when I walked in the restaurant there were two ladies inside, we asked what's inside the combo and the a bit younger lady was like "look on the menus, it's on there" I'm like ????ok my bad. And then after we finished our food and paid. Because the poor service I did not want to give them any tips, but when I was walking out the door the lady said "hey where the tip? Cash or on the card ?" ????????? Bye, also the food wasn't even that good smh read more

The duck was pretty flavorful and the BBQ pork was only okay. I've had some really good duck in my lifetime so to compare, I would give this a 3 star. It's a simple eat there or take away place located in a jammed packed plaza mall. It was good even the following day when the flavor marinated in. The service was abrupt but didn't expect anything more. read more

I don't know why people gave Ming's bad review. I mean this place is like Chinese bbq heaven for me! The pork was crispy. When you bite into it you can hear the crispiness *insert crispy sfx here*. The honey bbq pork was tender and spiced enough. I tried the duck noodle, also AMAZING! I saw my friend ate the claypot, But I was too full at that time. If not then I wont reject her offer of trying it. What I don't understand is that why did I never know this place before? Then again I almost entered the wrong bbq place (the one in the corner in front of sweet hut). Nope, please go straight, a lil bit further back and Ming's will also be on the left side. This place is cash only though, but I wont deduct any star for that. It was too good! read more
