Reviews for Ming's in San Antonio, TX
We've been enjoying Ming's for a while whenever we go to the Pearl's Farmer's Market. However, this was our first time at their... actual restaurant. All I can say is WOW! The food was fantastic. Bulgogi Rice Bowl was full of grilled beef, cabbage slaw,Kimchi and Jalapeño Sriracha Mayo. Served on a bed of white rice, it was a flavor bomb. Also enjoyed the Teriyaki CrispyChicken bowl and the Thai Coconut Curry Rice Noodle Soup. Both were winners and portions are plentiful. You will not go homehungry! Washed it down with a Yuzu Lager. Ming's is now on our regular rotation of places and it should be on yours too. Read more
I came here yesterday with my friend. The place was very clean and decorative. A lot more progressive than some other Asian... restaurants I have been to lately. There was less than 6 people in the store. The food had a lot of flavor and was visuallyappealing. They have different stubborn soda flavors which has been my favorite fountain drink soda since last year. I justwanted to mention that I like to get suggestions from employees on what?s good to order. So I asked the girl who took my orderif they had anything that has noodles and is sweet. She recommended the summer noodles. I added marinated chicken to thenoodles. The noodles were served cold (which I feel like is important to mention) and were not sweet at all but instead a littlespicy. I wasn?t happy with her suggestion and it seemed like she didn?t put a lot of effort into her suggestion. Overall myexperience was above average. I will be back but next time I?ll study the menu instead of asking for a suggestion. Read more
We were encouraged by the AAPI Heritage Month passport to check out participating restaurants. My husband and I have been to... @mingsthing a couple of times before and thought to bring Dad to experience it. Happy hour is from 4pm to 7pm and drinks were20% off then add the AAPI discount of 10%! I had My Bloody Valentine and my husband had the Sake Mule and Neon City Hong KongPale Ale. Just the buns alone were filling. Dad had the Summer Noodle Bun which had a spicy kick and a piece of the pork belly.I ate the other half of Smoked Pork Belly Bun and the Bulgogi Bun with less heat. My husband had the Hot Chicken Bun and eachorder came with 2 buns. I had a bite of his and it had a great crunch. Dad and I then shared the Cilantro Lime Soy Noodle. Myhusband had the Ma-La Sweet Potato Noodle with grilled shrimp. We finished the meal by sharing the Taro Coconut Frozen Souffledessert. From start to finish, everything was deliciously perfect. The only thing we had missing was our propeller fan with usto swat off the multitude of flies outside. It was great to see many other people eating there today. Definitely worth checkingout and getting your passport stamped! Read more
Ming's hit the spot! We tried their bao and my partner got the beef and broccoli bowl and it was all really good! The bao are... filling and the bowl was fresh and well made. Their chilli oil was also pretty good. Other people around us ordered noodles andit looked good, so we'll have to order it next time. They have indoor and outdoor seating so it's covid friendly! There isparking on the side, but you can take a little path where there's a parking lot area with plenty of spots. The only thing Iwish they had was more bao options, but either than that, everything was great! Read more
Read their reviews on multiple plaforms and decided to go to try their famous bao buns. They have multiple options available and... it can get a bit tricky when it comes to ordering! I like their chicken, tofu, Thai shrimp buns. The baos are super soft and funto eat! We tried their Sake and it was good. It's a pretty new place and so everything is neat and clean. The service is goodand fast. They have ample seating arrangements and parking is not an issue. Read more
Ate at Ming's last night with one of my daughters who was in town for a visit. We loved it. The buns were outstanding (the pork... belly really does melt in your mouth). We also got Sichuan noodles with beef and their blood orange chicken. Everything wasdelicious. We ate in the inside dining room which is not huge but bright, clean, comfortable and attractive. My daughter who isa better judge of this than I said it's "hip". But many people were eating out on the patio and as it was a lovely San Antonioevening I'm sure that would have been a good choice too. I'm looking forward to my next visit. Read more
I have had the honor to spend most of my life eating in the great food cities of America including Chicago, Los Angeles, New... York, and San Francisco. The food in South Texas is some of the blandest, most uninspired cuisine I've come across in my life.What a surprise to go to Ming's! Incredible balance of flavors, sweet, savory, sour, umami, and the crunch factor was out ofthis world! Their presentation is so beautiful I couldn't stop smiling. I am a long time restaurant professional so I was ableto look at the operations with a critical eye, beautiful decor, great systems, great service - and I saw Ming meeting with thestaff to coach them as a group. All of the things you want to see - fantastic place to eat. Great job Ming, I'm so glad you'rehere in South Texas, you have a bunch of new customers! Read more
This is an amazing restaurant! The Bulgogi Rice Bowl is so tender. It falls apart with just chopsticks. And the dressing on the... salad is a mix of citrus and ginger flavors with a kick! Add a century egg, a chicken bun , and some seaweed salad for a full onfeast. Read more
