    Hot tea in a beautiful clear teapot with a flowering tea. Yummy and beautiful.
    Sean M.

    5/5 service, ambiance and quality of food. I love this place. Back again and looking forward to enjoying: Sizzling rice soup and black bean beef chow fun.

    5 stars service!!! Food was delicious and fresh. Lunch special was worth the money. They're busy but the service still amazing! Restaurant was clean too.

    In my opinion, the food has always been good since my first time here, everything I tried from the honey walnut prawns to the chow mein to the fried rice to the steamed rice he list goes on... the food is always hot even when you order it to go! Service is always on point, with the kind greeting at the door, quick seating if a table is available and fast service. The ambience is always chill, company is good and everybody always seems to be engaged in good conversation. .. Gave this place four yumms up before and I'm gonna give it to them again!

    So my beautiful wife and I, were looking all over Yelp for some great Chinese food. We found it at Ming's! Their luncheon menu is priced right and quite extensive! 2 pages of great lunch choices! We picked lemon chicken and happy family delight. Two solid dishes! We did take out too, Mongolian Beef and Broccoli Beef, also two great options! We will definitely be back, in the near future' Great food, great service and very ADA friendly! Overall : 30/10!

    Lunch special - bitter melon beef with fish fillets, egg roll and chow mein. Also came with soup.

    Very good basic Cantonese food, very fresh and presented in an appealing way. It's a small cozy place, nicely decorated, and is located in a shopping area with plenty of parking. I had the lunch special, fish fillets with bitter melon in black bean sauce. It's one of my favorites! You don't often find this and I was so happy to see it on the lunch menu! Hubby had the beef chow fun which was solid. The service here is great. The staff is very nice and very accommodating. Hubby was just getting out of an appointment nearby and I told them he wouldn't get here until 5 minutes before closing but they said to have him come anyway, they would cook up his food now and to take his time. What great service!

    Beef chow fun
    Glenn L.

    First time here and the food was pretty solid. Started with the West Lake minced beef soup and also had the beef chow fun and the shrimp with lobster sauce. The soup might have been the best version I have had - small bits of carrot, water chestnuts, and mushrooms made every spoonful delicious. The beef chow fun had a good wok hei flavor. Will need to try other dishes

    We went to Ming's in Pleasant Hill after seeing many great reviews. The restaurant's appearance is very nice, both outside and inside. We stopped in to try their weekend lunch specials. The staff was very friendly and quickly refilled our tea kettle with hot water. The Sweet and Sour Soup was a great start. My Crispy Ginger Chicken was excellent, though I did ask for extra spicy sauce to give it more heat. My wife loved her Yu Shaing Chicken. The restaurant is super clean and well decorated. We completely enjoyed the experience and the food.

    Sizzling rice soup and garlic broccoli
    Heather M.

    Mings is a classic for a reason! Been ages since I have dined in. Great fast service with classic American Chinese dishes. We started with pot stickers and sizzling rice soup (my fav). Their crab ragoons are also great! The Mongolian beef could have been spicer but was good. Love the garlic chicken and broccoli with white sauce. Their fried rice has tons of flavor. The hong noodles are the fav- crispy noodles that soften in a delish sauce with tons of meat.

    What a nice suprise in my Hot and Sour soup.

    Oh. Em. Gee! This is a hidden gem!…read more 4 stars service 5 stars ambiance 5 stars food & drink Came here on a weekday around 11am and had a decent amount of guests inside. The bar faces the kitchen area and is sort of awkward, but the main dining area, albeit small, is wonderfully decorated and modern. The drinks are Yelp and IG worthy. And also ... delicious! The food, just as delicious. And BEAUTIFULLY presented. They do have a bar area which would be cute for drinks and appetizers, but again, the open kitchen is right there which makes the vibe a little awkward. But, I'd still go for after-work drinks. Highly highly recommend! Support your local businesses!

    Chef's kiss. From my ube latte to my etouffee to my mom's crab omelette. Everything was made…read moreperfectly. Perfectly seasoned. My cousin's fried chicken thighs had the perfect crunch and moisture. Their lattes... something needs to be said because I feel like a lot of restaurants really miss the mark here. My request to the owner.. build upon your drink menu. I love SoCal restaurants for this reason and no one does it well here in NCal. That could be you guys! Here, it's usually either/ or. Your coffee and non-alcoholic menu could be it! Not everyone drinks and it sucks having brunch with your girlfriends who drink and you can't be in the cute photos because all you're having is water. I forgot how delicious this place was. We went here on a Friday morning. Ambiance was classy but low key. I saw two groups of women meeting up for a lunch date. I saw friends with babies. I even saw a gentleman alone having coffee near us. If they had offered Wi-Fi, I would have gone here to study if I could or do content or have virtual meetings. This is how much I like this place. I would only say that parking in the front is tight. I did some content that I still need to post. Follow me @wellthy.on.purpose
