    Neat interior

    First time to try Ming's Garden. Ordered the pork chop with spicy salt and house fried rice for takeout. The pork was acceptable, but the fried rice was surprisingly good. Overall value is not bad considering their affordable prices. The lights were not on while we were waiting, but there was plenty of daylight so it didn't feel dark. I would not mind going there for fried rice again and may try some other dishes.

    Food had hair in it and they didnt offer to bring us fresh or new food. Server just shrugged her shoulders.

    Service was poor. There was straight black hair in my food and when we addressed it , the server just sheugged her shoulder and walked away. She didnt apologize or offer to replace our food with clean fresh food. Very disappointing. She did however bring us our bill and we paid for it.

    General Taos chicken from mings garden.

    I ordered general Taos and an egg drop soup for lunch for takeout. I feel really bad leaving negative reviews but since I chose this place based on the positive reviews, I wanted to add honest feedback. I didn't finish my food. I had one single bite of the chicken. The only thing that seemededible at all was the egg drop soup. Rice had an awful texture and tasted/felt like eating sand. The chicken was chewy and not enough sauce. Overall my lunch break was ruined because I couldn't finish my meal.

    Beef and Beef with Snow Peas, Cream Cheese Wontons (6 Pieces)
    Russell C.

    I ordered the beef with snow peas and a side of cream cheese wontons and it's probably some of the best Chinese food I have had in a while. The vegetables and beef tasted very fresh and tender, wontons were perfectly cooked, and the egg drop soup was delicious. I will definitely be coming back!

    Calamari and spicy salt
    Misty J.

    I'm not a super picky person. Sure some places you enjoy and want to go back. Others just get the job done. Rarely is there a don't go back place. Here is a review of the things I've tried. Appetizers: the combo has small portions of 4. 1. Egg rolls -bite one, delicious! Bite 2, no where near as delicious. Bite 3, how did I think this was delicious? Now it's so greasy too. Thumbs down. 2. BBQ pork -looked dry just opening the container. Tasted dry too. Ate one teeny piece. Will either throw away the rest or feed it to the cats. Two thumbs down. 3. Crab puff -there is nothing like cream cheese and crab!!! Unfortunately that's not what these are. No cream cheese. It was crab and what looks like cabbage and minced carrots. By volume it's mostly carrots. I HATE carrots, luckily it still tastes like crab mostly. They do taste good, just was disappointed about the lack of cream cheese. Thumbs up. 4. Deep fried prawns -extremely crispy breaded shrimp... not flavored. Just basics. I like crispy. Thumbs up. 5. Chicken egg roll -these I liked. Still greasy, so if you eat only one it's yummy. Thumbs up. Entrees 1. Singapore style chow fun -I LOVE this style of noodle and get them anywhere they're served. I actually went here specifically for this because I didn't want to drive far to my favorite place. Here, they're OK... they're not evenly coated and it's save-able if I coat it in butter and refry in my wok. No thumbs. 2. Sweet and sour pork -hard to dislike but somehow they've managed it. The batter has a weird after taste... I'm still torn about it. No thumbs... 3. Calamari and spicy salt -again my favorite place has a salt baked seafood I was hoping this was similar to. They're not the same, but after the weird tastes up to this point it made this taste good. Not spicy and I'm even a wimp. But it's good. Thumbs up. Overall there was nothing I ordered that I'd want to order again from this place. Mostly I wouldn't want to order again at all. I find this unfortunate because it's so close to my house but next time I'll drive farther for better options.

    Sesame Chicken Lunch Combo $5.95
    Kristin M.

    I'm new to the SLC area and kinda stick to places close to my home for now, i passed by this Chinese restaurant when looking for a quick lunch spot, the banner outside said they were having a grand opening special of 20% all menu items. i tried the sesame chicken lunch combo which came with your choice of hot and sour or egg flower soup along with fried won tons w/ sweet and sour sauce. the combo included your choice of fried rice or steamed rice and either an eggroll or paper wrapped chicken all for 5.95 prior to discount applied!!! My boyfriend got the sweet and sour pork combo. we both were pleased! after two combos @ 5.95 each along with hot tea service and a soda our total came to just $12 bucks!! way cheaper than any fast food place and we were in and out within 45 mins! the owners were prompt and very sweet and answered any questions we had about the menu... they cater and offer a very extensive dinner menu as well as sushi, i can't wait to come back and try those out!

    We order so much food, and they reheated nicely!
    Tina S.

    If you're looking for delicious Chinese food, look no further! And, they deliver! We stopped in for dinner on a Friday night, and the service was prompt and fantastic. We have been having trouble finding good Chinese food lately, but this is the place! Full flavor, fast service, hot, and nommy :)

    Curry chicken, ham fried rice, egg roll, egg drop soup

    First time coming here for the lunch special ($7.62 total with tax) I got their curry beef w egg roll, ham fried rice, and egg drop soup to-go. I got it so quick, granted i was the only one there. But it came out so hot and fresh I loved that part. The egg roll (even though small) along with the egg drop soup had ALOT of flavor, I love the sides it was so darn good. The curry beef was great, wish there was more beef. The portions were great considering the price (except for the egg roll) but it was fast and the flavors were there. They even gave me soy sauce and sweet and sour sauce/utensils. HOWEVER, the ham fried rice was not really good. It tasted weird but despite that everything else was still good. I might just order white rice next time. They're struggling I can tell but give them a shot.

    Chow Fun

    We ordered hot and sour soup, potstickers, spring rolls and house special chow fun. There was nothing special about the order. The only thing that I found edible was the spring rolls. The soup was sour but had not enough salt, which means there wasn't enough soy sauce to make it edible. It was singularly lackluster and the chow fun was chewy and poorly cooked The potstickers my husband ate but they were so thick he didn't t have much appetite for anything else

    The Hot and Sour soup that's a little sweet for us.

    A longtime favorite for authentic Cantonese food and excellent dim sum!…read more Amazing dim sum options, especially on the weekends when the carts roll out hot and fresh. The Siu Mai (pork and shrimp) is savory and juicy -- definitely one of my favorites. I also tried the Shrimp with Chive Dumplings, and they were surprisingly excellent: juicy, savory, with a nice fresh onion flavor. The Steamed BBQ Pork Buns are pillowy soft and practically melt in your mouth with their sweet shredded pork filling. Pro tip: Just eat the fried shrimp balls! The sweet and lightly mustard-tangy sauce that comes with them, combined with some sweet chili sauce, is absolute heaven. Just don't burn your mouth when they bring them out fresh from the fryer -- you're welcome. Order 3 dim sum plates if you're hungry, or 4 if you're starving or sharing with others. It's the perfect amount! The service is good -- friendly and attentive -- but it can get a little slow when they're busy, which is often. You can tell this is a popular spot that's been a favorite in the area for many years. The large groups that regularly file into the private dining room in the back say it all. Whether you're coming for weekend dim sum, a big family meal, or classic Cantonese dishes, Red Maple consistently delivers that comforting, high-quality experience. Highly recommend -- I've been back many times and will go again soon!

For starters, we ordered the Wor Wonton Soup. The broth was rich and hearty. The shrimps were large and plentiful. All the vegetables blended in with the flavors. I just wish the beef was a little more tender. A little marinade in baking soda would fix this. We ordered some chicken lettuce wraps. This has minced chicken, celery, bamboo shoots, and carrots. These are good by themselves but are best with hoisin sauce. I just wish the lettuce leaves were bigger. The Honey Walnut Shrimp was also good. The sauce had a nice blend of mayo, honey and lemon. It had a little too much breading for me but still tasted good. For $16.99, I wished there was a bit more shrimp. One thing I really appreciate - they GLAZE the walnuts! This is one of the few places that I actually like the sauce and they glaze the walnuts! The Crispy Beef is definitely my favorite. In fact, I think this is better than the one I get from Red Maple. It was not too sweet and had just the right amount of heat. Again, I really wish they would marinate the beef in baking soda to soften it up. The last dish we ordered was the Garlic Chicken. The server forgot to put the order in for this dish and there was a rush to get it out to us. They forgot to put garlic in this dish so wee sent it back. It was perfect when it came back. This place is fast becoming our go-to-place for Chinese Food. It's was a nice surprise and I'll can't wait to try the other dishes!

The look of the restaurant inside has changed a few times. when I was there last there was a casual seating area at the back of the restaurant. There were people there waiting for takeout orders. I really enjoyed the great chow mein with the beef. Next time I might try it with chicken or pork because the beef was a little hard to chew for my liking. The noodles tasted delicious and flavorful. I always have to order the cold cucumber salad. It is a great accompaniment to any dish. I added the peanuts to the cucumbers because I really like them together so if you order the cucumbers, they will not come with peanuts. It is a strange request, but they accommodated me with no problem. They had a case at the front of the restaurant with grapes and strawberries, skewered and coated in a crunchy sugary coating. It was a little bit messy, but I did not mind because it tasted so good. The strawberries were super sweet, fresh and juicy with a thin, sweet crunchy shell. I will try the grapes next time.

We were stopping in SLC for a few days on our way home from CO, and I really wanted Malatang. I saw there was a chain Malatang place and Mr. D's, so obviously we had to go with the locally-owned one. The restaurant was small, but the lighting was bright and everything was clean and tidy. The station to build your own bowl was kept at proper holding temperature. There was a good variety of everything, and the owner was even bringing out fresh rolls of frozen meat when we arrived. The veggies were fresh as well. I really liked that the trays we put our raw ingredients on were wrapped with plastic for extra food safety. After we finished choosing our ingredients, we went up to the counter and told the owner how we wanted our Malatang to be prepared. I went with the mild spicy bone broth and my husband went with the spicy dry pot. While we waited, we prepared our sauce. I like to add extra garlic and chili oil to mine, as well as green onions and cilantro. We decided to just share one bowl of sauce this time. This Malatang place also comes with free unlimited rice, which is not something I've seen at other Malatang places in NorCal. We didn't end up getting any rice because we had plenty of ingredients in our individual bowls, but if we were sharing, then we probably would have gotten rice. Considering the price of the Malatang was only $15 a pound, what a steal. It was nice to watch the owner prepare our Malatang right behind the checkout counter! Everything was piping hot when it was ready to be picked up. You are in charge of getting your own food when the buzzer rings. We especially liked that the fish/meat balls we selected were cut in half to make sure they were cooked the entire way through. The bone broth was deliciously flavorful and silky, and the meat was tender. All the ingredients were so good! Upon adding some of my sauce, that definitely turned my broth into a flavor bomb. My husband's dry pot was delightfully numbing and spicy, and all the ingredients were coated evenly. He was also a big fan. While we ate, more people arrived, and I was glad that all the Asians knew this place was the place for Malatang. Soon, the restaurant was almost full. We wrapped up our meal and left feeling satisfied and happy. I would definitely recommend Mr. D's Malatang for those needing their Malatang fix while in SLC (and of course for locals who love Malatang too) and can't wait to return the next time we visit.

I'm not sure if this is a Utah thing or if it was simply their ideas, but some things were too different for my liking. The ham fried rice was okay. I'm used to egg fried rice, so it was a little different eating ham fried rice. It also was missing a little bit of flavor too. It just seemed like boring rice really. We ordered a combo which came with 2 cream cheese Rangoon. Those were the spotlight of the meal. The egg rolls were not pork egg rolls. They were vegetable spring rolls and had weird water inside which made them really not taste good. I was really looking forward to those nice greasy fried egg rolls with cabbage and pork, but alas. The won Ton soup is less than stellar. It was packed full of vegetables which seemed good, but again, it had no flavor. It tastes like cabbage water. The worst of all was the won tons themselves. They were soggy chicken dumplings. They were not made of the typical won Ton wrappers, but more like bao bun dough and the meat inside was soggy flavorless chicken. The kung Pao chicken was really the only thing we ate aside from the crab Rangoon. They were heavy on the peanuts and veggies and it had a good sauce to meat ratio. Outside of that, I really can't recommend going to this place at all. Which I hate because they really were so friendly and made me think this food was going to be sooo good. I don't think Utah knows Chinese food though.
