    Fast friendly lunch service. They foll up quick. Food is good size portions and taste good.

    Wor Wonton Soup. I had already eaten half.

    Super clean. Very friendly staff. Great expansive menu. I had eaten half of my Wor Wonton Soup before I took a photo. Very ferocious with a flavorful light broth. Highly recommend.

    22. Braised Tofu Lunch Special
    Kimi S.

    Very casual hole in the wall spot over on Vasco. Good for a quick bite to eat, probably not the best for hot days, I don't think they have AC. The Braised Tofu and the Spicy Garlic Eggplant were great. Both the chow mein and the fried rice are good, the portions are big. The lunch specials come with soup and salad if you dine in, great value. Service is quick and efficient.

    House beef with fried rice

    I ordered the appetizer platter and the house beef with fried rice and Oh Em Gee it was delicious! All of it! Everything was fresh and made to order. Our food came quickly and our server was very courteous and helpful! Great portion sizes as well

    112. Tomato Beef Chow Mein
    Brianna W.

    3.5/5 Decent Chinese food with decent prices. Located right next to the freeway on Vasco! Called in my order during lunch time and was ready within 10 mins. When I walked in, I was instantly greeted and the 2 girls working the front were super friendly and nice. This place was also about 75% full around 1pm on a weekday. I'll definitely be back to try their some of their other items.

    Food here made with LOVE man. Really good lunch special. Very generous portions and super nice people. THANK YOU

    My first time at this establishment. It's located on Vasco Road near 580 freeway. I selected the Kung Pao Three Combo as my entree. The portion was generous and enough for leftovers lunch tomorrow. My food was delicious but disappointed that rice is extra cost. Service and ambiance is good

    Definitely a Baller On a Budget Approved Establishment!!! Ming's is one of my Favorites for Authentic. Chinese Food in the Livermore Area. They are Located in a Strip Mall so there's plenty of parking!!! I park my Whip there safely all the time. They have a Awesome Menu. I usually. Order Sesame Beef with Chow Mien or Singapore Noodles . They do both Dishes Well!!!! Service is Friendly and Efficient!!! They take Cash and Credit also !!! They also make a Mean Thai Iced Tea !!! For all these reasons this is a Baller On a Budget Approved Establishment!!!!

    Ming's Garden,  lots of parking

    I was driving home from the Central Valley on Friday evening, and decided to stop by and try Ming's Garden on Vasco Rd for the first time. I got there around 830pm, and people were eating in the dining room and there was a steady flow of takeout orders. These are all good signs of a popular restaurant. I ordered 2 favorite dishes: Chicken Chow Mein-Hong Kong Style and Salt 'n Pepper Prawns. The ladies running the front counter were very nice. With the phone ringing, and takeout orders going out, they still took the time to answer all my questions. How was the food? Salt 'n Pepper Prawns, Grade (4/5): These are battered fried prawns. I got 14 avg size prawns in my order. Lightly crisp, but could use more seasoning. Chicken Chow Mein-Hong Kong Style, Grade (4/5): This is crispy thin noodles, with chicken, veggies, and thick gravy poured on top. This is a good dish if you like both crispy noodles and soft noodles with gravy. Interesting thing they do for takeout, they keep the crispy noodles and gravy separate. You mix them when you get home. Once again, a good dish. But doesn't seem to have enough flavor. The chicken was very tender. But in general, good food prepared with care. Also, great location....right off the I-580 freeway on South Vasco Rd. It's in the strip mall that has the Jack in the Box and the Taco Bell. Plenty of free parking. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aug 13, 2021: Covid restrictions required mask wear indoors

    Chow mein has no vegetables. Orange chicken is mostly breading. Asked why i didnt get my lunch special appetizer and suddenly didnt know what i was saying. Never again

The prices are a bit high for my liking, but maybe this is a norm out here in Livermore. We ordered 3 items: Combo fried rice, Orange Chicken, and Chicken Corn Soup. Spent about $50.

The three of us shared the House Special Dinner, which was a fantastic spread. It included fried prawns, egg rolls, barbecued spare ribs, Mandarin orange beef, prawns with snow peas, honey walnut prawns, and house fried rice. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The honey walnut prawns were especially memorable, and every dish had great balance and taste. The variety made it perfect for sharing, and we left very satisfied. The service was friendly and welcoming, and the overall dining experience was excellent. It's not exactly light on the wallet--the price is $32.95 per person as of March 2026--but considering the amount and quality of food you receive, it felt like a very good value. I would absolutely recommend Canton Village to anyone looking for delicious Chinese food in Livermore.

    We were looking for some Chinese food for lunch today and we came across Mandarin Delight, so we…read moredecided to give it a try. These were the dishes we tried: - Firecracker Chicken: it was deep fried chicken breast chunks tossed with spicy Sichuan peppercorns and dried chilies. Despite using chicken breast, the chunks were surprisingly tender and didn't feel dry at all. The spicy, numbing flavor really came through, but I felt like the dish was severely under salted. I think just a little more salt would've elevated the flavor completely. Also this dish wasn't spicy at all to us even though we were forewarned that it was gonna be spicy. - Spicy Basil Chicken: this dish had a flavor profile that reminded me of Thai style Basil Chicken Stir Fry, but I thought the Thai stir fry version was far superior. The flavor wasn't bad though, and what really impressed me was the chicken. The slices were so soft and tender that I couldn't believe I was eating chicken. The texture almost reminded me of fish cake, it was that tender. However, I did think the dish was a little unbalanced, with the vegetables taking up a much larger portion of the dish than the chicken. And I did think that the bell peppers were undercooked. - The House Special Chow Mein was fantastic. The flavor was smoky, savory, and slightly sweet, creating a really nice combo of flavors. The noodles were also nice and chewy and had a great bounce to them. I loved all the different toppings that came with it too, and there was also Bok Choy mixed in for some vegetables. The portion was pretty generous as well. Overall, the service was amazing. The older couple, who I assume were the owners, seemed to do pretty much everything themselves. They took our order, brought out the food, and checked on us throughout the meal. They were very hospitable and nice. The ambience was just okay... The restaurant felt a little cramped and was somewhat dark. One thing I really didn't like, though, was that the kitchen was open and right next to the dining area. I felt like all the cooking smoke and smells were drifting directly into the dining area, which wasn't particularly pleasant while we were eating.

For anyone coming, the parking can be really bad as it shares probably 20 or so spots with several other restaurants. It's near impossible to park nearby with the alternative of parking near the Panera's or even the target. There's plenty of tables and seats inside, and it was pretty slow when we dined in. Convenient televisions on two different sides where all the workers were casually watching, and quite the chatter in the kitchen where they're all watching the World Cup. That doesn't really affect service however as they're quite attentive when called for. We ordered the salted fish and chicken fried rice, and the medium bbq platter with char sound soy sauce chicken. All very delicious! The only thing is that they can bit on the pricier side with $20 for the fried rice and $30 for the bbq plate. Overall, I thought grand cafe definitely scratched our itch for Cantonese style dining experience. It typically comes with great food, good service, and a bit of nostalgia from being from the Bay Area.

Feels like Taiwanese fried chicken from your local boba shop. Xiao long bao was the star of the order, solid soup dumplings with great filling and broth. Pan fried pork buns, second favorite dish.

Overall, this experience was disappointing from start to finish, both in terms of service and food quality.
