2018: deep fried wontons i think only come with orders over $30, so make sure you order over $30!

Good food, we usually only do buffet with occasional take out. Order holiday food well in advance. Mothers day, fathers day, any kind of event like that will be taking supper orders 4-6 hours in advance.

Probably one of the best portion and taste wise, worth the drive to coaldale.

Edit: Aug/2025. So, since the new owners have taken over, the quality of service had gone downhill. Long waits for buffet refills plagued it for several years. Covid also hurt Ming’s.
So it’s sad to say that Ming’s on a Sunday buffet had only 6 tables full from 5-6pm. Most of the food is of near pre-covid quality. Also, they have upped their buffet refills game. Come on Coaldale, we need to give Ming’s another shot!

We came in for a late lunch. I ordered Cantonese Chow Mein. It was not that. It was a bed of noodles, with snow peas, peppers and some pork. I sent it back and reordered the Ming Special Chow Mein. The staff was quick to resolve the issues I had. We ate sone of the fried rice, but did not touch the deep fried shrimp. We tipped as the staff was trying. This is your proverbial Canadian Chinese food (not really Chinese). They should revisit their menu and dishes or stick with the buffet.

This was the worst,worst food I have ever eaten. The fried rice wasn't fried.horrible...I could go on and on. Every single dish was disgusting. My husband and I are sick today from that horrible tasting slop...Even the waitress had a dirty shirt on. Yuk. Money thrown down the drain.

The food was descent, but the place good use a good cleaning and a reno.

I don’t think this place was ever good. I think everybody just hyped it up so much..
Every time I’ve ordered wonton soup there the wontons have been rotten?

Wow… I remember the day I couldn’t wait to order from Mings… It’s been a year since I’ve done so and I was so looking forward to it, but once I got it, I was completely disappointed… Too bad means I used to be able to always count on you guys for a great meal

We visited on Sunday the 16 th. The restaurant is dated but otherwise it was fine. You could call it Retro. We arrived shortly after 4. Our server was very nice and very helpful, thank you again.
We were a table of 10 and even the kids had a good time. The food was hot, flavourful and plenty of it. Only 2 items on the buffet had MSG. Good food and no upset stomach issues… Win Win!
We shall be back.

Food is good. I think they forgot about my pickup order though, it came out 20 minutes late and it wasn't busy. There was no apology or discount or anything to make up for it.

My wife waited over an hour for a specific time pick up. When you have to book a time for Christmas Eve in the beginning of December you shouldn’t have to wait for new orders that were called in on the day. Ended up having to get a refund and go get pizza. Not professional at all. Won’t be going back there again. Shame as we get it every year.
