Fantastic service! Food was even better. I got the Moo Shu Pork, best I have ever had. Plum sauce is delicious. Generous serving, had to get extra pancake! Going back as soon as I can. I live 80 miles away. Absolutely worth it!!

We happened upon this place on Trip Advisor after being told there was a hour wait at PF Chang’s. What a happy coincidence, the service was outstanding and the food was perfect! This has become a new favorite. We had spring rolls, fried pork dumplings....I had Mongolian beef and my husband had general chicken. All of it was prepared fresh and was delicious. As a previous reviewer stated the mustard was hot, delicious but takes very little. We will definitely be back soon.More

I very rarely write bad reviews but this one is necessary. I just threw $69 worth of food out in the garbage. Just trying to save someone the expense. The food was obviously from a frozen food section and not in the least bit appealing....The only thing edible was the Chinese Donuts. Diner beware!More

Our group of 5 came here after church. I had the hot and sour soup and the kung Paolo chicken. Both were great! The soup was hot, and the celery in the chicken dish was crisp and crunchy- something really hard to do and delicious!...Things began with an egg roll followed by the soup. The sauces they furnished for the egg roll were perfect. The yellow mustard was very hot (don't use much, a couple of drops will do) and the red sauce was sweet and fire extinguishing My wife had the sweet and sour chicken and she liked it Randy liked the Mongolian trio. Overall a good meal for a good price. We'll be back again and again!More

I always think of Chinese cuisine as the best form of fast food!!! So I sought out the closest Chinese restaurant to my location for lunch and although the location was a bit of the beaten path, it was worth the hunt. Food was good,...service was excellent, restaurant was clean & price was reasonable. The only downside I found was that I could only order from their lunch menu. While it was a nice selection of traditional dishes, my one fav was not on the menu. That in itself was a huge disappointment for me, but the dish I ordered did not disappoint. I would certainly eat here again!More

It was very nice. We accidentally came along Ming‘s Cuisine on a trip from Fredericksburg PA to Mobile AL. Our last stop brought us to Birmingham. When we entered the restaurant a very friendly waiter treated us and led us to the table in the...nicely decorated restaurant. We had some soup, following the recommendations of the waiter. Nice and tasty. Afterwards we enjoyed spicy veal with angel hair pasta and with chili - the spicy version. It really was a nice dinner in a nice atmosphere. In case we come back to Birmingham AL, we will not forget Ming‘s Cuisine.More

I absolutely love Mings. I have never had a bad meal there and have been eating there for about 30 years. Their Sesame Chicken is the best, and their Hot and Sour soup soup is fabulous! All food is cooked to order.

We tried Ming’s based on excellent reviews by fellow TA reviewers and were not disappointed. The resturaunt is located in the corner of a small strip of stores a bit back from the highway so you will have to look for it. GPS or the...Instructions on the web site make it easy. The staff is friendly and efficient. Food was very good. We ate off the lunch menu which offered an unusually large selection of entrees served with fried rice, hot and sour soup and an egg roll, all nicely presented, and at a very reasonable price. Everyone in our party ordered different entrees and all were completely satisfied. We will definetly return to Ming’s.More

My husband and I have been fans of Ming's Cuisine for many years. It's our primary Chinese go-to restaurant hidden behind a car wash. Their prices are fair, the food is excellent, and the service is typically good. We especially enjoy the lunch specials on...Sunday. For a long while, they did not accept Discover credit cards (which was annoying) but that has been rectified. The only drawback I might say is that the hot and sour soup (which is wonderful) does not have enough seafood. I think they strategically count two shrimp and two scallops in a dine-in or to-go order for two so you only get one of each when sharing! To end on a high note, they are willing to prepare requested dishes not on the menu.More

We ate there the first night because it was close to the hotel and late when we checked it. It was recommended by the hotel staff. We ate there the second night, and brought friends from the conference because it was so good!

I have lived in the area for as long as Ming's Cuisine has been open and have somehow let it fly under the radar. We visited with friends for late lunch on a Saturday and the restaurant was not crowded at all, which is the...way we like it. The most energetic hostess I have encountered in years ( owner family member perhaps?) led us to our table and presented lunch menus, which were extensive. Almost immediately, our server presented egg rolls which she explained came with lunch, along with hot and sour soup. Both were excellent. Our group had Kung Pao Shrimp and Mongolian Beef, both of which were outstanding. Portions were large (especially after egg rolls and soup), so we were all well satisfied. Everything was fresh and perfectly seasoned. The shrimp dish was perhaps the best Kung Pao shrimp I've ever had. Can't wait to go back.More

Its not a buffet, dont let that deture you because the food portions were way more than we could eat. The food is prepared to order and was so tasty. I wish I had got the waiters name. He was so personable and friendly. The...food was amazing. I had the sesame chicken and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys it. I dont live in Alabama but if I am ever there again, I will definitely eat at Mings.More

You can ask for no MSG in the soup and on the food. The egg rolls are pre prepared so there is no salt free option there.

Because I do not require a 'gluten-free' dinner, I have no idea if Ming's offers this or not. Sorry, but I'm very sure they would be able to tell you if you stopped in, or even called them prior to going.
