I’ve been going to this restaurant since i was a little girl and I’ve always loved it! Ignore the bad reviews, because it is so good! It is kid friendly and the staff is always waiting on us politely! There is beautiful cultural decoration and everyone is so kind. Food always comes out quick, so it’s definitely five stars! Would reccomend!

I ordered special fried rice ...it was only 2 shrimps in the entire dish ...that's not special at all .. rice was white rice ...they do not cook with soy sauce.. so I received white rice with scraps of meat .. very disappointed

Still the most unique Asian restaurant in Fresno. IMO. Family owned. Gargantuan food portions and the best HOT OIL anywhere. I get a plate everytime I visit Fresno. Fresno has the best food....Again IMO.

Service was great, food came so fast. We got a half and half special for both of us. Made a couple changes, only a tiny fee to get pork instead of chicken. The staff wa very attentive and the food was delicious. I would highly recommend checking out this little gem near the Fresno Tower District.

🥡 A Fresno Classic – Ming’s Restaurant Never Misses
Ming’s Restaurant has been one of my all-time favorite spots in Fresno for over 15 years—and for good reason. Every time I return, I make sure to order their Chicken Chow Mein with pan-fried noodles, and it never disappoints. This dish is pure comfort: perfectly crisp noodles, tender chicken, and that unmistakable flavor that I simply cannot find anywhere else—not in Texas, not anywhere.
What makes Ming’s so special is the consistency. Year after year, the quality and taste remain just as I remember. There’s something about their take on Chinese food that sets it apart—it’s authentic, flavorful, and just hits differently in the best way possible.
I’m incredibly grateful that this gem is still in operation. In a world where great local restaurants sometimes fade away, Ming’s continues to hold strong. This place is a Fresno staple, and I truly hope it stays around for generations to come.
If you’re in town, don’t pass it up. Trust me—Ming’s is the kind of place that turns a simple meal into a cherished tradition.

We go eat here just about every other week. (At least once a month for sure ☺️ my kids love their pan fried noodles, tofu broccoli and chicken fried rice. We’ve been coming here for idk, 10 years or so (maybe longer) We order the same thing every time, lol and love it! Every one is really nice. They’re all friendly and kind, and the food comes out quickly! ☺️

Food was super bland and low quality, no flavor, the orange chicken was giving rotten, atmosphere was quiet and dull there was no music and two sad people just sitting by themselves. The food was so Bad I promise please don’t go there. These people need to stop serving such disgusting food.

I have tried quite a few American-Chinese restaurants in Fresno looking for something special, and this is it. Outwardly, it appears like so many other restaurants and their menu has all of the standard items you would expect. This one of the few places that I have found that offer General Tao/Tso Chicken rather than just orange chicken, which sets it apart from the others around Fresno. What truly impressed me though is the deliberate separation of the sauce and the chicken in their take out container. I really appreciated that they placed the sauce on the bottom, so that the fried chicken wouldn’t become soggy. Their house chow mein was also impressive with solid flavors, excellent technique with velveting the beef, and a generous portion.
Overall I am greatly pleased to have stumbled upon this place!
