Came here in a big group. Great selection! The food was tasty and fresh, even if not super authentic. Lots of seating, excellent variety, and I enjoyed everything I tried. This is exactly what I want out of a mass-market Chinese buffet that caters to everyone. Service was good - get my own water instead of waiting for a server water refills (especially since the food was a bit salty) is a good thing. read more

Selection of food is great. I like the taste of the crab rangoon. Went there for lunch buffet and it cost was $14.28 with tax. Price comes with drink and dessert. They have a deep freezer type device with window top for the ice cream tubs. I also saw sushi on the buffet. read more

See all

Clean restaurant, however, the food was not as good as I expected. I probably won't come back again.

I have been coming to Mings Garden since I was a child. Some say food and places that you eat at the food can bring back a memory and in my case it brings back so many memories. From grabbing lunch with my friends in high school to go in to dinner with friends and family as this business grew and expanded I have a whole file cabinet of memories including Ming's garden. Now I have a child who has been enjoying the same place I did for so many years and she now invites her friends out for lunch. Now on to the food! With four buffet tables they have anything you could possibly want. From fried rice, lo mein, Chow mei fun, chicken and broccoli, steak and broccoli, sweet and sour chicken, fried wontons, teriyaki chicken on a stick, even sushi. And if you have a child or a member of your group that just does not like Chinese but wants to attend they also have pizza, tacos and other items on there that will cater to anybody that wants to eat. As for the staff they are a generational staff the mother who is the matriarch of the family and The Business has kept the family involved which I love and they all greet you like they have been part of your family for the last 30 years. If you are local you know exactly where it's at next to Rural King on Indiana 3. If you are coming in town and are getting off of the highway 70 head into New Castle and keep going until you see CVS on the right Hardee's on the left and it's right behind Hardee's in between Bronze Bay tanning and Rural King store. If you love a good buffet I strongly suggest it. Happy eating! read more

Yummy food great food it's very delicious food excellent egg rolls rice noodles great cashew chicken

Mings is amazing. I love the variety of dishes they have and this is my favorite chinese restaurant. The food is always fresh and the owners are very friendly and kind. The place is always clean and properly stocked! read more

Guys We found a 5 star Chinese Restaurant here! They were Fast, Friendly, and delicious. Location is very convenient and easy to find. Reasonable price and good size portions . The location was very clean and smelt so good. I ordered steamed dumplings. They were hot, very good taste and texture and they didn't fall apart. A÷ Husband got General Tso Chicken, egg drop soup. His was hot and fresh. Got a great portion of egg drop soup. Everything was correct, remembered the sauces, egg roll napkins and the Fortune cookies. We will out definitely come back here. I'd recommend this Restaurant to anyone and everyone. read more

I absolutely love Mings garden, and I've been coming here since I was a child. They are known for their Buffet, which is very extensive and has many options to choose from. It is very important to know the best times to go because there are times where the food is not as fresh as it should be like many other Chinese buffets. The staff here are very nice and are very helpful. They also do takeout which is also very popular with this restaurant. The downfall is they do not offer delivery. We only have two Chinese restaurants in this town the other restaurant offers delivery, and this one does not, but in my opinion, the food at Ming's is much better than the other restaurant. I would highly recommend this place if you like Chinese and I've never been here. read more

The food could definitely improve. Ambiance nothing special, most overhead lights were above buffet. Food overcooked. Mostly chicken & pork dishes. Service-only at cashier, none on floor. read more

First time trying this place and we just grabbed some takeout at 9pm. I feel like we may have gotten the leftovers from their buffet, it just wasn't that impressive. The prices are decent, but the taste wasn't great. The General Tsos tasted like sweet and sour sauce with so spice added to it. The eggrolls were more like spring roll size, but fit the price at only $1 each. The Crab Rangoon was good! But it didn't include any doing sauce like I am used to getting with those. read more

Ming's Garden - General Tsos Chicken, rice, eggroll - Chinese Near Me - New Castle, Indiana

The one and only place I compare all other Chinese restaurants to. Maybe I'm biased because I grew up on their flavors, but Ming's is the best of the best and incredibly consistent. If you've never tried their crab rangoons you truly have not lived your best bite of food yet. Not dry or lacking in cream cheese like a lot places, and even with a hint of sweetness which makes theirs so much different and better. The popcorn chicken with the sticky red sauce, JALEPENO chicken, black pepper chicken, brocolli and beef, crystal chicken, the lo mein; I could go on forever about all the delicious options they have. I have so many fond memories here with family and friends, it's truly somewhere that tastes like childhood and home. The family has been a staple in the community for years and love each and everyone of their customers. Please support this local gem because they are truly wonderful! read more

I honestly like the buffet style that they offer but the food keeps going down in quality and the price keeps going up. Today one of the coworkers that was with me got a hair inside his egg roll and well that's pretty bad so we left after that. I do hope the prices do not rise more and that they actually bring the quality of this place back to where it was 2-3 years ago read more

Very disappointing for the cost. Spent ~$37 for two buffets midweek dinner hours. Food trays were full but many items were not fresh. Some warm items ranged from lukewarm to outright cold. Won ton soup was alright. Hot & sour looked like something from the sludge tank of the local oil change shop. I don't think we forced down two small plates between us. All-you-can-eat vs all your going to want to eat. Go to an a la cart place for the same money to more and better food. Place seemed moderately clean. That's the best compliment I can offer. read more

Really terrible and lots of it. Seriously godawful. Fried everything. The banana pudding was all right. Why is there banana pudding?

Anybody that says this place ain't good is lying to themselves, simple world ending prices go up but atleast I can gorge on some crab Ragoon and banana pudding at the same time. Doing good things for this city.(calling out sarah) read more

Easily the BEST Chinese restaurant I've had in my life. I did grow up on it but omggg it's so delicious. I moved 30 minutes away & will still drive to Mings very occasionally because I literally crave it!! Costumer service is sooo nice & the pricing is very fair. You can pack a lot of food in the to go containers!! read more

I've been eating at Mings for probably over 20 years. The food is always great! Service is also super. I hope it never closes

My first time visiting, but I'd love to come back if I ever return to the area. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, and the food was delicious! The portions were very large so we had leftovers. I love their spring rolls read more

BLT is what I love to get here. You better pay attention to the name because it is for mourning people closes early in the afternoon but the food is great it's I'll get there in time. My husband and son love the mini tacos and custom made salsa hot hot hot. Then again thinking about it I could sure go for some Loaded hashbrowns stack it high With gravy and eggs and ham bell peppers cheese mushrooms Yum read more

disregard the bad reviews. best food you can get here, it's quality and tasty, always ready in about 10 minutes tops, no matter the day, time, whatever. kind and straight to the point staff. easily 10000/10 read more

Got grandparents coming to visit who don't travel much, don't listen to music beyond Lawrence Welk, Frankie Yankovic, or Bill Gaither, and don't, generally, try new things. Bring 'em to Ming's! Seriously, I don't know why, but this was always the place we'd take my grandparents to eat whenever they'd visit. I always kinda liked it, too. read more

Food options in New Castle are limited if you don't want an American chain or fast food. This makes Ming's Garden a diamond in the rough. I grew up with Ming's and have fond memories of going there with large groups of friends, staying for hours as we dined on their large, affordable buffet. Well, in recent years, the buffet has gotten even bigger (who know this was possible), but still maintained its value. If you are going to come to Ming's garden, you must get the buffet. Almost every time I come home to visit my family, I stop at Ming's. I've even turned my husband into a fan. This is not only a welcome restaurant option for locals, but I also highly recommend it to anyone driving through New Castle. It is the perfect alternative to the typical roadside fair along SR 3. read more

Even better now. Love the soups, cashew chicken, kabob, wings, fried zucchini, green beans, egg custard, hot tea, and so much more.

I had been there before and I had nearly forgotten until I entered the doors. I wasn't really impressed and almost turned around and walked out the door; but I had already paid. A lot of the food looked like it had been there a while! Didn't get sick at least and they did keep the dirty dishes cleared away. read more

Ming's has been a family staple since the mid 90's. I can't get enough Crab Ragoon or anything with broccoli! The family that owns the restaurant are always pleasant. Although they have a nice buffet, I suggest ordering from the menu. The menu food has a much better taste and flavor. read more

I have been going to Mings since they first opened and has seen many changes in the place all good changes! They do an amazing job with the food and the service! The food is good and of course usually eat way to much LOL but when it is as good as it is you can not help yourself!!! And Ray that runs Mings now is a great person and always has a smile on his face!! My family and myself LOVES MINGS! keep up the great work read more

Been a long time since I have eaten here and it will be a lot longer before I return. I went in for lunch at 1:00 pm and was surprised at the small crowd. After eating and grabbing a dirty bowl for soup I understand the sparse crowd. Food used to be very good, but very disappointing today! read more

Cost $9.23 for lunch buffet,,Really high for what you get,,,I was there at 11.00 no chicken, They just opened, There food looked like yesterdays food, Not very fresh,, read more

I love this place. Been here a few times but I don't live around here. I'm passing through town and remembered so I'm trying to see if it's still open. Haven't been in a couple of years or so. This is only one of two places I've seen peanut butter chicken and I love it. Everything was fresh and everything I ate was really good. Hopefully I'll get to eat here again. read more

The food is good but nothing is fresh. It is all frozen or from a can. The place is dirty and the prices are very high. My wife likes dumpling sauce and they charge 50 cents for a couple of tablespoons. It's not the 50 cents, they have a bucket with a ladle in it but charge 50 cents and it just shot up 50% to 75 cents. They charge a high price for everything. Stop and look at your bill and think about it. Cafeteria quality food for that much in a dirty restaurant, really? The people are nice I just don't get why everybody acts like its the best restaurant with the best service at the best prices. The food isn't bad but its a dirty restaurant in desperate need of a cleaning/upgrading/remodeling with high prices on canned/frozen food from a Sysco truck and no service to speak of. read more

A great New Castle treasure. The selection is small but the food is great. I recommend the jalapeño chicken and peanut butter chicken. It is all good also the owners are the best. Come and eat at a great little whole in the wall. read more

I would give this negative stars if possible. How can you call this food. It's not Chinese food, it's definitely not American Food. But it's expensive. Like $12. My drink was more than a sit down restaurant. Cold, stuck together chicken. Not even sure if it was ever up to temperature. My friends love this place. It's the only reason I ever come. I get sick Everytime. I'm not from here. This is the only Chinese they know I guess? Oh use the chopsticks, I found stuck on food on the silver ware. read more

I've lived here in New Castle for most of my life, and this place is always in my top list of recommendations. It started as this small, sort of low budget buffet thing, but they've recently expanded and bought out the space next to them to make even more room! That mouthwatering smell hits you as soon as you walk in, and all the people that work there always seem to greet you with a smile. I think its a family run business? Anyways, if you're ever in New Castle, you seriously gotta hit this place up. Nice atmosphere, casual dining, great food, and its cheap!! read more

Absolutely wonderful:) I come here at least once a week. I work right across the street and come to get dinner sometimes. The owners know me well, I've been going there for years. They automatically know what I want as soon as I walk in the door and suggestively sell me my usuals when I don't order them. The food is delicious. Any other like restraunt has been beat out by them within a matter of months, this has been happening for years now. Everybody is satified. I would reccomend this place to anybody :) read more

above average Chinese buffer. food is fresh and tasty. Fairly clean although have refused to use the bathroom there a couple times. Biggest drawback is they serve Pepsi products but that doesn't count towards my rating. A solid 4 on average read more

After reading the other review's, I seriously question LA from Portland, Oregon. I have always enjoyed Mings, it is a family restaurant. The owner's and staff have always been very friendly. I started going there the first week they were opened. Many enjoyable times there. I do agree that the crab rangoon is the best, not overly crabby with a hint of sweetness. They're soups are the fantastic. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

I've been going to Mings since I was little I've always loved it there and the foods always amazing!! They normally refill when ones out and the food is always hit and fresh when I go , they do I pretty good job keeping the tables clean and the workers are so friendly. The only thing I've ever had wrong was I had to wait about 10 minuets for one of the dishes but that's normal for a buffet!! Like I said I love this place and would recommend this to anybody for a good meal I give it five stars one for taste the second for how clean it was three for kindness and four for the fast refills 5 it's normally nice quit and the temp is always just right ! If you're thinking about going or haven't ever been there definitely GO!! read more

Good food at reasonable prices. The egg drop soup is always very good especially with the crunchy noodles they include. The lunch buffet is a good value for the amount of food options although I'd recommend passing on the sushi. This place does a great job with large take out orders. They label and package everything wonderfully so it's easy to carry and sort out. It's definitely worth trying if you're in the mood for (American) Chinese food! read more

The best service! Clean and really good food. Not a lot of unique items but all the traditional dishes are there! Great place to go! Very affordable! read more

First off it's a buffet and well buffets are not known for being awesome. Well they keep the food filled and its about average for asian. Their extremely nice and it is family owned. That makes up for anything else. There was another place in town but they were very rude and I was glad when their buffet got shut down. As far as Chinese buffets goes this is a good place. I would recommend it. I would like to see some better American fair on it for kids though. read more
