| - OH NO! I was super excited to like this place.
My dad had come here with friends and saw George - for those of you who frequent Spring Villa, he used to be one of the "heads" there. Him and Michelle had left Spring Villa, and my dad saw him here at Ming's. We had to try this place!
This restaurant is small and super busy. There is a private-ish area right by the entrance which fits two tables. Thank goodness the other table was relatively quiet as sound bounces off.
We ordered this Duck dish which was smothered in a sauce that tasted like Chalet sauce...no joke. It was really good, but after a while, I was really thirsty. We also ordered this fried fish dish with tofu which was also very good, but salty. Soup was just enough for 11 people and quite small.
Now, reservations are HIGHLY recommended because this restaurant gets insanely busy and I understand why. For all the dishes we ordered, the total bill came out to be $188 and change. At Spring Villa, I suspect it would have been double if not triple the amount. Having said that, the food was not that great, and salty.
Service was also in the "growing pains" phase. As this is a new restaurant, service was spotty. Our dishes went un-cleared. Our pot of tea and water went unfilled. We had to hunt down for service every time we needed something. Because we were in the private-ish room, it made it even harder to get service.
I don't think we will be back here as Spring Villa is closer and the food, we find, better. Having said that, perhaps there will be improvements.
