Review: Ming's Cuisine

Why get so excited about a Chinese restaurant? They are close (one mile exactly); they have good food; and, they deliver! The worse thing I can say about Ming's Cuisine is that you can't get there without driving on highway 280. When I saw on my Urbanspoon iPhone app that 87% of 183 reviewers liked this restaurant, I knew it was worth a Friday night visit.

Hidden in a small strip mall, we felt welcome from the minute we walked in the door. We were waited on promptly by friendly and helpful staff, and the wait for our meal was brief.  I was enjoying the evening so much that I almost forgot to take photographs.

Crab Rangoon 

Cream cheese and crab meat wrapped in wonton, deep fried to a golden brown and served with spicy mustard sauce and sweet and sour sauce. Six for $4.99

Delicious!

Chicken Fried Rice - $7.99

Why something as simple as chicken fried rice on my first visit? It used to be one of my favorites but I ate it so often when I lived in Tennessee that I hadn't been able to eat it since being back in Alabama, but I felt I was ready to give it another shot. I also knew if I liked this dish then there was a very good chance I would like everything else. It was not too greasy, the rice was not gummy, and the portion size was within reason, unlike some Chinese restaurant servings.

The prices were also very reasonable.  My total meal was $10.66! Beverages included cocktails, wine, and beer. I have already entered Ming's telephone number in my iPhone. Home delivery makes me very happy!
