| - When I lived in the Annex, I sometimes lamented the lack of Chinese Food places like the ones I grew up with....
Doughy chicken balls with neon-red sauce, soggy chicken chow mein, dry chicken fried rice, all the usual.
In the area you really couldn't get much delivery from places like that which was strange to me, all you could find was.. you know.. QUALITY, somewhat authentic chinese food. BOO. Sometimes I'm drunk and want crappy food ok?
So now that I've moved into the northern end of the city, I've found myself lousy with bad chinese food places. Hell yes.
The first place we checked out was Ming City. We found them online and they delivered to our area so we tested out some of our favorite dishes:
- Veggie Fried Rice
- Lemon Chicken
- Beef & Broccoli
Honestly, it was exactly what I hoped for. Tasted good, huge portions, cheap prices, free delivery. Super friendly service with quick times.
The food isn't amazing but if you're in the mood for this kind of thing, I don't see how you can go wrong with Ming City. It's exactly what you should expect.
Oh and also, it did not hurt my stomach, which is a big test for me.
We ordered a second time a few weeks later and got the General Tso's + Veggie Rice + Beef/Broccoli.
Tso's was really garlicy and sticky but decent. The rest was as it was the first time. Again... you get what you pay for and for this class of food, they hit all the notes.
