Outstanding Chinese food! Probably the best in Fresno. Terrific service and very reasonably priced!

My friend invited me to eat at this Chinese restaurant and I ordered the Chinese style pan fried noodles(mings special). I asked the waiter about it and he said it consisted of noodles, veggies, and 4 proteins. Beef, shrimp, chicken, and pork. When the food arrived, the veggies were sparse.Carrots, onion, and celery is all I tasted and saw. It was mostly chicken and beef.The pork was julienned. I could not find any shrimp. I asked the waiter and he said the order only contained two shrimp. When I found a shrimp, I discovered it was really small. There wasn't anything remarkable about this dish and my noodles were not crispy the way I like them. The flavor wasn't very good either.I gave it one star because that order was enough to feed two people but it was mostly noodles. read more

Big fan of the egg flower soup where I wanted to order a second one later today. The special combination plate was a lot of food. The spicy beef chow mein wasn't too spicy per my request. The sweet and sour chicken was crispy and light. They do not use soy sauce in their fried rice but really good with out it. read more

"Ambiance"? Mings? 20th Century Chinese food joint . . . FOOD? In the approximately (¿ 40+ ?) YEARS I've been going here, it's ALWAYS been wonderful. Yes, that's been awhile, but I cannot remember EVER having a complaint. Fresh and tasty. Service? Well, long ago they always were friendly, courteous and helpful to the THEN young adult having dinner before a night of drinking and music at what STARTED as The Olympic Tavern next door . . . Now, the last few years I haven't been in, I've only gotten delivery, so I can't speak much to service, other than one person I complained to about some of the packages leaking saying they would immediately order some upgraded containers. Heck, MAYBE the place had a major upgrade to the "ambiance" since I was last in, but . . . I was never there for the scenery . . . I've just always loved MING's. read more

Wonderful food and great atmosphere from another time. Great service too! Can't beat the experience!!! read more

Not constantly ok, always kinda on the rude side. Asking for condiments is asking alot. Food is never the same. read more

I was really craving Hot & Sour Soup. It was so spicy I couldn't eat it. Plus this was just egg and tofu soup. I also ordered a combination plate #2 no flavor at all. read more

I've been tower regular since my city college days and I took my children here for lunch and this is by far the worst Chinese food we had... the servers were nice about it they took one item off our bill but honest the whole meal was disgusting, I was excited for their bacon fried rice and it came out all burnt with a heavy grease taste.... I was so hungry and I swear I was pissed but they were so nice like they had no clue their food tasted so awful, bottom line this is Xd off my list I'm not saying this place so be dinged but from my taste experience.... one word Booo thumbs down but on the bright side the place was neat and the servers were nice read more

ordered the chicken soup and garlic eggplant. nope! it was so thick, the flavor was not fresh but glue like. the soup was too salty.

Ming's always satisfies, and is incredibly quick! Somehow our favorite dish wound up being their chicken salad - but it's just a perfect neighborhood spot where everything is tasty and very reasonably priced. Glad they've survived for many decades! read more

As for Chinese food, 3 star is sufficient, I think I've been around Asian food as far back as I can remember (I really can't remember when I started using chop sticks) I would go back here if I'm in the area, everyone was very nice and the restaurant was clean. read more

Ming's - Lemon chicken lunch special - Chinese Near Me - Fresno, California

Wow. This place gets 4 stars?! Sooooo bad! First, asked for soy sauce, chopsticks and plates. No go. Doesn't every good Chinese restaurant include soy packets? Come on. REALLY could have used that soy sauce. Second, pork chow mein was absolutely flavorless. The noodles were WHITE like they hadn't even been stir fried. No semblance of any flavoring sauce of any kind. Pork was individual full slices, not julienned and also flavorless. Bunch of vaguely cooked, flavorless bean sprouts covering the top of the flavorless noodles. Mmm. Even less flavor. Yay. Ugh. Third, sweet and sour pork... no sweet... no sour. If it wasn't for the extra sweet and sour sauce I got for the appetizers I would have been even MORE bored with the food. Fourth, potstickers... cold and flavorless... like everything else... even the extra hot sauce I HAD TO ORDER SEPARATELY didn't help. Same with the fried shrimp, foil wrapped chicken and won tons. "Redeeming" course? PREPACKAGED FORTUNE COOKIES!!!! ABSOLUTELY MISERABLE EXCUSE FOR CHINESE FOOD. All for $65... what a waste. Don't believe me? Just waste your money and try it. Should have gone for sushi... this probably won't get posted. read more

I was one of those customers that went in right as they closed . I had no idea that they closed at 8 , so showing up at 7:58 was annoying I'm assuming . However the girl was okay about it and kind enough to seat 3 of us and serve us still . Food came out fast , service was great and so was the food . We had the egg flower soup and that was good too. We'll be back soon . read more

Ming's - Spicy Broccoli Beef with pan fried noodles - Chinese Near Me - Fresno, California

Favorite Chinese restaurant in Fresno and it's in the tower district!! I've gone here for years and it's always been fresh and good quality.

Ordered the chow fun. It was as expected. Flavorful and greasy. They didn't leave any of the noodles stuck together with no seasoning between them (others have). I ate the whole thing and didn't feel bad at all. It made me reminisce about late nights in Brea. read more

Ming's - Chicken Chow Fun - Chinese Near Me - Fresno, California

Eaten here a couple of times recently. What I like is .....a very good value. Been there, just about 100 years. Very courteous service. Family atmosphere. Had the oyster beef. Was pretty good. Tried other dishes and they were good too. Would recommend you use your restroom before arrival here, because theirs is not really open for consumers. read more

Yes.. this place is pretty nice.. Egg foo yung was the bomb! And I love the fried rice.. full of flavor and light in color.. not soy sauce based. read more

Ordered pork chop suey chow mein for lunch today. It came hot and fresh, with lots of veggies and pork. The only complaint is the noodles were not pan fried they way they usually are, the food was still very flavorful just not the texture I was hoping for. I would rate the food 6/10. If I decide to come back at a later time I will definitely ask for extra crispy pan fried noodles for my order. read more

Have been coming to Ming's for years. It has been a staple for my family whenever wanting inexpensive Chinese food in the Tower. It isn't gourmet, but that's ok! It's good. read more

Great food. The Mongolian beef was spicy and tasty. Hot and sour soup hit the spot. The staff was friendly and attentive. Good place

One of best Chinese restaurant in Fresno. Spent $22 dollar to feed me and my wife twice. It's a hole in the spot place but the food is undeniable read more

Amazing portion sizes and the food is soooo good. Definitely going to be my go to Chinese restaurant!

Major cockroaches! Took my son to use the bathroom and had to hold him over the toilet because there were cockroaches everywhere.

I am a native of Fresno. I'm 65 years old and I have always have wanted to try Mings Chinese, but it wasn't until this year through my door dash app that I have. I could just kick myself for waiting so long. They have wonderful food! My fave is their Tomato beef curry chowmein. It's the best that I have had since back in the 70s when I used to get it from Sun Sun Kitchen. read more

The only place I eat chow mein in Fresno - and only their Chinese style, so so good. We eat in sometimes but usually do take out. Quick, cheap, good food, not fancy at all. read more

I paid $25 for two combo plates that had no flavor! I pour black pepper and chili oil over everything to help give it flavor. My combo plate came with fried shrimp, and the shrimp didn't taste fresh! Food didn't come out hot either, which I knew right away when we ordered and the guy came right back out with the plates. The portions are big enough to where you can share one plate, and the service was nice. I love Chinese food, but unfortunately I won't return to this restaurant. read more

Consistent and fresh but not a ton of flavor. Tried many dishes all are lacking salt. Nice happy staff

This has always been my go to for take out. Ordered Ginger Beef for lunch yesterday and it was terrible. More crunchy carrots, onions and big pieces of ginger than beef. The few pieces of beef in it were mostly fat and gristle. No steamed rice. My bad I didn't see that steamed rice is an extra 3.95! I thought 13.00 was already steep enough without having to add to it. I'm done with them. read more

Wonderful staff that is friendly and helpful. I always come for the Ming's special chow mein and to see what their current specials are. It's quite a drive for me but it worth it! Also during the COVID crisis they have solid system for pickup outside. read more

I ordered the Wor WonTon soup, although its summer and hot as hell here in Fresno I needed something to soothe my stomach ache! The soup was delicious! packed with vegetables, shrimp, chicken and pork pieces. The Won tons were plentiful, perfect bite sized and stuffed with the perfect combo of fresh Ginger and pork! Definitely ordering this again ! read more

Ming's - Shrimp chowmein $9.45 - Chinese Near Me - Fresno, California

I should have reviewed this place years ago. It's a family favorite. We usually get the combo plates, but I've been trying to branch out and try new dishes the last few times. I have never been disappointed with my order. The food is always delicious and portions are very large, normally enough for me to have 2 full meals. The prices are also great. Usually my meal is about $10 or less. The fortune cookies also have unique and fun messages, nothing like many of the generic fortune cookies I've gotten elsewhere. read more

This is THE place to go for classic Chinese American food, and with good reason. The food here is near impossible to beat. The textures are always exactly what they should be; the deep fried pork or chicken or tofu is always crisp, the black mushrooms are perfectly soft, and the pan fried noodles are just the right combination of soft with bits of dark brown and crunchy. They are excellent with special requests, and humor me every time I ask to add cashews to something. Park on the street, enjoy the stroll, and you know it's summer when the door handle is wrapped with a towel. read more

best chinese spot in fresno, i've been coming here since i was a kid, my dad came here since he was a kid , and even my grandma :-) love the eggplant tofu with noodles, cheese wontons , or orange chicken!!! hope they are here forever!! read more

The food was horrible, nothing except the mings special noodles had any flavor and even saying that is a stretch. I spent almost 70 bucks in food and all I got was disappointment and bland slop. I will never order from this place again. read more

I really enjoy Ming's. My family has been going here for years. They make pan fried noodles just the way I like it. Their teriyaki chicken is really good, too. For that, I get the sauce on the side so I'm not sure what it's like when it's covered. The family that runs Ming's is great. They're so kind and helpful. You can tell they really care about their customers. read more

They're Chinese Food is the spot here in Fresno, California, was sad when Wongs Tea Garden Decided to shut down, but had a hard time finding a new Chinese Food spot, until I arrived here by the Tower District. They're food hits the spot on point, and they do not disappoint either, give them a 10/10 read more

We ordered delivery from Ming's tonight. It has been more than 30 years since I last ate here and I'm sorry I haven't returned. It's a great little old-style American-Chinese restaurant. We tried the beef tomato curry chow mein and it was fabulous. It was just sweet enough to tamp any heat from the curry with crisp pan-fried noodle and heaps of vegetables and meat. We also tried the cream cheese won ton which was kind of strange to me. I am used to ones that are stuffed with cream cheese and chives or onion and sometimes crab. These are almost a dessert. The stuffing tasted like the sauce for walnut chicken - that sweet condensed milk kind of flavor. It wasn't bad: just not what I had planned. I hope to try a few more dishes and will update when I do. read more

Wow! I am a big Chinese food fan, but haven't had it in a while because all the places I have tried in Fresno have been pretty lackluster. I had a spontaneous hankering for Chinese food this evening and decided to place an order for delivery. I got the General Tao's chicken, Mongolian beef, and beef chow mein. The food arrived quickly and was still warm. The containers it came in were clean and orderly. The food was great - flavorful and savory, with fresh/crisp vegetables. I was extremely pleased. Even my husband - who absolutely hates Chinese food - ate a full plate. Then another. And another. We are both big fans and will be ordering from Ming's from here on out! read more

The pork fried rice had little flavor. The shrimp Chow Main was gummy, dark brown and stuck together. Very few vegetables. Two thirds was thrown away. Not ordering from this restaurant again. read more

The original owners are gone ,,, The food is just ok now. The food containers are bad they don't use traditional paper box's. So the food gets cold & the amounts is much smaller. I don't think I'll go back. read more
