I was being my usual indecisive self about what to have for dinner last night, when the girlfriend frusteratedly pulled in to Ming's. I have seen this place at the foot of Shaw Butte Mountain many times but never eaten there and I am glad that we did!
We were greeted possibly more enthusiastically than I have ever been greeted at the door. This was one friendly server and must have had something to do with management or ownership to be that excited to be there. He was indeed our server as well and the enthusiasm and friendliness lasted the whole meal.
The food had flavor. Not an overall mushy Chinese dish whatever flavor either. Each piece of each dish was individually flavored yet well tied. The tiny little corn on the cobs tasted like corn, the pea pods like pea pods and Jesus H. the shrimp tasted like shrimp, not the thawed shrimp textured blandness that you often get from an inexpensive meal.
We each had soup and an eggroll then shared pork fried rice and two other dishes which were all delicious and totalled less than $30 dollars. amazing prices.
The only down side really was the scallops. they were a little chewy, but hell they were $7!
The decor is average chinese food place but there is a seperate bar attached which we did not get a chance to check out but may be in the near future.
