    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 :)

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

    We were in the area ordering something from Tay Do when we chanced upon Ming's Garden. The place is really nice and from what it looks like it's a family business. We saw a kid setting up tables after customers and he's quite busy and lovin' what he do. We ordered several items from the menu, namely, Hot and Sour soup, Rock Cod in black bean sauce, Mixed Vegetables, Kung Pao Tofu and Pork Chop with Spicy Salt. The Hot and Sour soup taste different in the sense it's in a little sweet. I'm used to the sour taste and I guess that's why they called it Hot and Sour soup. This is a first for us. Both the mixed vegetables and rock cod dishes looked and tasted almost the same. We were assuming that the mixed vegetables will be in white sauce but it still had soy sauce and had it not for the black beans, the two would have been the same. From the five dishes we ordered, only the Kung Pao Tofu and Pork Chop with Spicy Salt tasted great and original. The tofu complemented the pork chop in the sense they were like yin and yan. We really love them both. Reading from the review, it looks like lunch is their specialty. Too bad, we came for dinner.

    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!

The two stars are for the management, not the employees. We came in for lunch on a Saturday, and the dining room was unbearably hot. It honestly felt like eating in an indoor sauna. At first, we thought the AC was broken. After asking about it, we were told that the staff couldn't adjust the AC without the owner's approval, and the owner was out of town. I can't verify whether that's actually the policy, but if that's what happened, it's hard to understand why no one could make the restaurant comfortable for both customers and the employees working there--especially considering how hot it's been lately. That experience left a really bad impression. If saving on air conditioning was the reason, I think that's a poor decision that comes at the expense of everyone's comfort. While writing this review, I also noticed another google review from someone who said they had concerns about how management treated employees. I can't speak to their experience, but combined with what I experienced, it doesn't leave me with much confidence. Unfortunately, I don't think we'll be coming back

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 ordered: Fried rice - the corn in the fried rice tasted almost spoiled Beef brocoli - the beef was tender but not as tasty or fresh Garlic ribs - cut into small portions was not what I expected and a little dry Only great was the service and those fruit on a stick in the glass counter. The high prices was not worth it.

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.
