★★★★★ 5.0 Rachel Dennison · Jan 2026

This is the best Chinese food I have ever had in my life. Granted it had been a while since I've dined at a Chinese restaurant; that being said, the leftovers I took home were still great the next day. I don't consider myself a huge foodie, but I have been having about Ming Lee to all my friends and family since yesterday. I should mention that I ordered a pu pu platter. And every item was the best I have ever eaten: right down to the chicken wings. 🙌

Fast service a few things were different. Not the orange sauce I'm use to . The egg rolls were not Crisp as I'm used to . but It tasted alright. The shrimp and Broccoli was very good and very large.

Always used to LOVE Ming Lee… They were the best place to go every time we wanted Chinese food. Not sure what has happened in the last 6 months but the food has definitely gone down hill from where they stood before. One great example the crab rangoons used to be my favorite and I don’t even like seafood. Well this time first bite into one all I could taste was onion. I do onion on most of my food but this was very strong tasting and if I didn’t like onion I would have been VERY disappointed and grossed out. Still was disappointed but made it through them. We had a pupu for 2 lg chicken wings sm chicken lo mein sm veg lo mein sm chow mein and extra rice and was $120. Could be a lot worse but still kinda expensive for sup par food. But been seeing a lot of people changing their opinions of

Food was underwhelming my chicken lo mein was drenched and sauce and the steamed dumplings have barely had any filling and were falling apart. Some of the food my other friends got barely had any flavor. Do not go here.
