Ok, ok... I gave 5 stars to a Canadianized Chinese restaurant! But as the Yelp rating system states, 5 stars means "As good as it gets!" and I'm confident that Ming City is as good as an unauthentic Chinese place can get.
I waited until after my second visit just to be sure that they didn't just impress me with one dish. Today's "Spicy Peanut Beef" was awesome. Extremely tender slices of beef, smothered in a spicy sweet sauce with green peppers and peanuts. It came with rice and your choice of soup for only $4.99! I thought the five dollar lunch had completely disappeared! Apparently not in Ming City.
Ever since the closure of my old favourite Chinese resto, (Peter Street Deli), I've been striving to find a General Tao (Tso) chicken that compares. I finally did!
Mayor Ford, get your butt out of Mayflower and over to Ming City. You'll soon have a new favourite!
