    Fr our visit about 2 yrs ago when we ate in for the first time. Family Style.
    AmberAyame T.

    Loved the food and the service was very attentive and friendly. Very clean, parking in the back. Would definitely recommend and be back! We went here for the first time a few years back, but have been loving it since and do take out now. (No reason, just that we like to eat while streaming our favorite shows at home or fr hotel/resort rooms lol.) Eating in is nice too. Lots of delicious vegetarian options. Very authentic!

    Orange chicken. Chicken Chow Mein. Sweet and sour chicken. Pork fried rice.

    Food was amazing! Will definitely return. And very reasonable priced. 10/10 food. The service was great and the food came out very quickly. And inside of the restaurant was clean, and inviting (even though we got takeout hahahaha). But overall a great experience, great food, and will for sure be back.

    My favorite Wonton soup (good quality and not the thick wonton wrappers with nothing in it!!)

    Food: 3.5/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 This is a low frills but high quality American Chinese restaurant. I love their wonton soup. The quality of the ingredients seems very high. They seem to have good takes on all the classic dishes. The restaurant is very clean and the service is good, but not overly accommodating. My only complaint is that the stir fry dishes have a LOT of oil. It's tasty, but I couldn't help but notice a layer of oil over the sauce.

    This Place is a Hole in the Wall!!!! But its a Family owned place. , Run by a Husband and Wife Team . Service is Friendly and Efficient!!! Also very Attentive!!! The Place is Tastefully Decorated and Clean. I Found Mings Palace on a Yelp Search. I rolled there and grabbed a Parking Spot right in front. I rolled in and Grabbed a table. My Server brought a Menu and a Glass of Water!!! I Perused the Menu and Ordered the Combination Dinner !!! The Combination Dinner was Chicken Chow Mein Sweet and Sour Chicken Pork Fried Rice Egg Roll And a Bowl of Hot and Sour Soup!!! My Soup came First it was Tasty!!!! Next Came out was my Combination plate!!! Portions were Good Sized!!! The food was Great and Tasty!!! This is a Baller On A Budget Approved Establishment!!! I'll be Back!! B

    Its a bowl of zucchini, some mushrooms and peas ... with small portions of beef ... how the hell is this Mongolian beef ... absolute shit.

    Menu is not what it says i got a whole zucchini some peas and mushrooms with 3 pieces of beef they call Mongolian beef ... after trying its literally some of the worst, most bland taste meet is low grade and chewy. Horrendous experience! Waste of $15!

    Is Ming's still take-out only, as of 9/6/22? I'm hoping their dine-in is back?

    The best Chinese spot on this side of the hill! If you live…read morein Aptos or anywhere in Santa Cruz County, you need to check out Four Streams Kitchen. I've been looking for a solid go-to Chinese takeout spot for a while, and this place absolutely knocks it out of the park. Do yourself a favor and order the Szechuan Boiled Fish (Sichuan Shui Zhu Yu). It is insanely flavorful, perfectly spicy, and easily one of the most legit, authentic Chinese dishes I've had in the area. If you prefer the classic American-Chinese comfort staples, those hit the spot too. The Kung Pao has the perfect balance, the potstickers taste completely house-made, and my family is obsessed with their chow mein.  The ingredients are always fresh (especially the veggies and seafood, try the fried prawns!), and the staff is incredibly kind and accommodating. Great portions, amazing value (especially the lunch combos).

    I would give this 3 1/2 stars. It was the first time ordering last night through DoorDash. First, I…read morewill say that in the Aptos area this is far better than anything in this town, and way better than Panda Inn. I probably should have just picked up the order because $80 for Chinese food for two people is a bit steep and honestly ridiculous. The first negative thing is the fact that we ordered pork fried rice and ended up getting the fried rice but with chicken instead so OK, edible, but there is something about pork fried rice that I really like so that was disappointing. Also ordered their vegetable green bean with garlic sauce dish, and the green beans were cooked nicely although a side order of green beans for $16? Yes, I made the decision to order simply because I wanted a veggie with the rest of the meal. I ordered a chicken breast dish that was coated in some sort of a Panko-ish crunch. That was good although I wasn't expecting it to be fried. When you're hungry, you just eat it anyway... Truth. also had the potstickers which were typical nothing special, although they did serve it with some sort of a hot pepper sauce, which was good although the seeds in it were quite tough. They also pack a little container of what looked like white vinegar weird not at all like what you would normally have. We will probably try again as we explore the menu, but I will definitely pick up next time. Oh and finally with an order that clearly served two people they throw in one fortune cookie. How cheap is that? Jury is still majorly out on this place, but just wanted to share for now.

I followed directions…read moreand it took me to a little patio tucked away next to a bank - there was an open door to a kitchen and the patio had two plastic tables and chairs. A waitress noticed me quickly and came to ask if had placed an order or needed to. They have a big menu! The lunch specials are amazing deals - a main course, with chow mein, fried rice, and soup! All for less than $15?! In this economy?? So I ordered the cashew chicken and a starter of cheese puffs (wanton). The food was all flavorful, the chow mein had a deliciously satisfying chew, the cheese puffs had a tangy cream cheese filling. I would say there wasn't an abundance of chicken - but there was a lot of other food to make up for it. Oh and complimentary hot green tea! I will definitely come back again!

The lunch specials are pretty good and reasonably priced, especially for this area. There were only two servers working: a younger woman handling cleanup and table setup, and a senior woman taking orders and serving food. The workflow felt a bit unorganized -- it would be smoother if they backed each other up. Overall, the lunch specials were solid and a good value here.
