Highest marks for char sui and duck. Working my way through the menu and cannot find a bad dish yet, though some are stronger than others(Singapore pan fried rice noodles, a little dull.) Colorful and delicious eggplant with garlic sauce, deep and rich beef chow fun with black bean sauce are favorites. Always looking for a reason to go back.

The mere fact that I come here two times a week is a testament to how amazing this place is! Seating here is limited so I often get my bbq pork and rice to-go. Prices are pretty reasonable and cash is preferred. If you attempt to pay with card, be prepared for the server to ask«do you have cash?» Get used to carrying cash for places on BuHi!

This place is in the same lot(Asian Square) as a couple other restaurants and cafes, such as Sweet Hut. There’s definitely ample parking around the area. There’s so many options, but we tend to frequent Ming’s a lot, especially if we’re crazy BBQ pork. I’ve only ordered a couple things from the menu(congee, noodles, BBQ pork, and duck). Honestly, everything is up to standards, but the BBQ pork with rice and veggies is my go-to. They offer 2x or 3x the meat, but with the amount of pork they top their rice with, I could definitely have split it into two separate meals. The pork has the perfectly crispiness on the outside, but is super tender. The rice and veggies are nice blander complements to the meat. The congee is another go-to, and is also a huge serving. I’d skip the noodles and the duck. I’m not sure what type of noodles they use, but it’s a lot chewier than what I’m used to, and is pretty standard. Duck is definitely a personal preference and might have too much bone for some people to get through.

Good and cheap food. If you’re new, you have to try the rice with three different meats: duck, pork, and spare ribs. All for only $ 8.99. The noodle here is also amazing. Only reason why it’s a 4 star is because the staff, especially the cashier, is rude and always rushing for me to order and pay.

It has been a minute since i came back because of the horrible service i recieved before, thought they would changed, but is wrong! The plate they served me and my husband was small as my hand and i got the 2 meat! The couple nxt to us was chinese and they order the same exact thing i did, but their plate was over full. They are just wrong the whole entire the ladies that worked there looked at my husband and I, knowing i saw the shit they just did … Smfdh

Three words: honey roasted pork! I ordered the 2-meat rice dish with HRP and the duck. The duck was whatever; it was mostly bone :(The HRP definitely saved my dinner though; I’m gonna order the rice dish with just HRP from now on. Also, the food was pretty good for an affordable price! I paid for both me and my roommate when we went together recently, and I’m still not mad about it haha This review is only based on the one time I went here, but I’ll definitely be back. The food comes out super quickly, and it makes both my belly and my wallet happy :)

I recently visited Ming’s BBQ for this first time, after several visit to Asian Square. Ming’s BBQ is located closer to the Shallowford Rd at entrance/exit of Asian Square. The rice plates served with steamed rice, green vegetables and a choice of either two or three meats is what I wanted to try, after seeing images from here and other places serving the same. I ordered a three meat plate with BBQ spare ribs, roast duck and roast pork. Although good, the BBQ spare ribs was my least favourite. The duck and pork were my favourites; particularly the roast duck! I placed my takeaway order and was out within a short amount of time; within 7 minutes. The meats were chopped and placed on the rice while I waited. $ 9.65 including tax for three meats was a good value. Cash only. I may return to this location or the one in Duluth for future visits. No issues with this visit; four stars.

We did not eat here but ordered a whole roasted pig(medium size/50 lbs) It was for my sons confirmation celebration. Everyone loved it!!! The skin was very crispy and meat was very moist. I am from the Philippines and somewhat critical of how lechon/whole roasted pig is prepared!!!

The food is inconsistent. The honey roasted BBQ pork is good as was the black bean chicken($ 7) but it’s hit or miss. You do get a good bargain. The rice meat rice dish is $ 6.99. One thing that annoyed me was the waitress asked if I wanted my rice on the plate or on a separate plate(I assumed to keep it separate from the sauce and oil of the food). I asked for a separate plate of rice and it ended of adding another $ 1 to the price. Not a big amount but I don’t eat much rice and I got a softball amount. WORSTPART: I found a small black bug with yellow dots in my old and not fresh looking bok choy. I live by the what you don’t know can’t hurt you but this I knew. While they replaced it, they didn’t offer a discount. It can happen anywhere but the way they went about it was disappointing. The service was typical but fast. The place is surprisingly small for such a popular place but can probably hold around 60 or so. They keep it pretty well maintained. CASHANDDEBITONLY. I’m half half on this place.

HKBBQ here! Their salted fish dice chicken fried rice is delicious! Not many restaurant can make it this original. Their BBQ duck wonton noodle soup is good, Taste just like from HK! For the drink, tried their Lemon Ice Tea, it’s made from scratch.

So I didn’t actually eat in Ming’s Bar B Que, but we did get some food to go and it was fantastic. Here’s the deal: a girlfriend of mine had helped organize this BuHi Pop Up Patio in an abandoned lot adjacent to the shopping center Ming’s is in, so a group of us went there on a Saturday night to eat and hang out and support her efforts. When we all arrived there were about 10 or so people and we decided to get a combo of Ming’s and La Mei Zi(next door) and share amongst everyone. My fiancé and I and my girlfriend and her husband all went to Ming’s and ordered what didn’t sound like a ton of food, but turned out to be. We got a 3-meat combo: honey roast BBQ pork, roast BBQ pork and pork spareribs, which comes with rice and greens, a 2-meat combo: honey roast pork and roast duck, and a side of honey roast pork(see a pattern yet?). The portion’s turned out to be very generous and I highly recommend everything we got — especially the honey roast pork. And even for all this food, the bills were really reasonable and the people working there were very nice. I will definitely make a point of stopping by Ming’s in the future if we’re on our way to Sweet Hut.

There are actually two locations for Ming’s — the sister location is in Duluth, in the same plaza near Iron Age and Mango Six while this Ming’s sits at the corner end of Asian Square in Buford. While I’ve never been to the Duluth site, I do frequent Buford Highway a lot and Ming’s is a spot I enjoy hitting up for a good meal. First thing to note — it’s easy to overlook the venue and pass by it, as it’s often overshadowed by BBQ Corner iI or Sweet Hut, due to them being in the same plaza. Ming’s is at the tail end of the street shops on the same side as BBQ Corner, so be aware and try not to miss it your first time there! Parking area right in the front is small because the shops are tightly clumped together, but there will always be an available spot to park nearby. Inside, the restaurant is small. Orange couches line the sides(that sink in pretty deep when you sit in it), with chairs on the opposite ends of the table, but the overall aesthetics is what you’d expect of a tinier, older Chinese restaurant. The workers here don’t speak English too well, but they do understand the menu well. My favorite go-to dish here is the honey roasted BBQ pork on rice — $ 6.99 for a plate with a full portion of rice, a hefty portion of sliced pork, and steamed greens — not too bad. The meat is always cooked well and consistently delivers great flavor every time. Their roast pork and roast duck is pretty good too — I just prefer their honey BBQ pork. I love their different green veggies in garlic sauce — one of my favorite sides to get here. Any version — snow pea leaves in garlic sauce, water spinach in garlic sauce, chinese broccoli in garlic sauce — tastes amazing! Worth the $ 11 – 13. Another tip for extra flavor: ask for their green onion sauce and hot chili oil; both are great add ons to any dish for an additional kick to your bite. My friends and I love to mix the two sauces together and put it on top of our meats/veggies. They do accept card, not just cash now. Check this place out! I highly recommend it.

Secretly, hidden from the rest of the world, this small Chinese restaurant was tucked behind the Asian Plaza. Although, it was hard to find, the food was well worth it. Talk about sinful gluttony. I almost died and went to heaven eating the crispy pork. The pork, was juicy, mouth watering, tender on the inside, and crispy skin on the outside. Their roasted duck meat was displayed on a window, calling my name… I had to order the duck, the meat was fresh, the skin was crispy, and the flavor was wonderful. You can make a sauce out of the juices from the duck. Their portion is a lot to take in, some people had to get a to-go box, me on the other hand, I can enter into a hot dog eating contest. I was train by my Asian parents to slaughter this food on my plate. Ok, I am exaggerating, but still this food comes far from any other Chinese BBQ restaurant i’ve tasted in a long time. Not, only do they serve you meats, but they put a little green vegetable on the side for decoration or adornments. The steam bok choy was a nice accessory to the meats. The prices are affordable. I think I paid less then $ 8 for a huge portion.

How have I not been here yet?! There have been so many times when I was simply craving rice and meat, but never knew where to go. Ming’s is the perfect answer: simple food at a great price. I ordered Honey BBQ Roast Pork with Rice and Greens for $ 6.99. Good portion, just a bit more than enough. Other promising items I will be back to try: Roast Duck and Roast Pork(if you’re Filipino, it’s lechon… mmmm). Very casual atmosphere. No frills, so don’t expect too much. Cash/Debit only. Service was fine — she even warned us for ordering too much food. Lots of parking, located in the same plaza as Sweet Hut, but hidden away in the opposite corner. Apparently, there is a Duluth location that is even better than this one. Gonna trek over there to try it out soon.

Cash only, cash only, cash only. It’s been a long time since I’ve been to Ming’s. I remember coming here as a kid, so that should be an indication of how long it’s a staple in the Chinese community with its selection of roasted duck and pork. The old go-to item was getting a lunch«box» that had rice, the honey roasted pork or duck, and the veggie of the day which was usually stir-fried choy sum or yu choy. They drizzle the rice and pork with a soy sauce, so it’s like gravy and you can’t help but keep eating the rice because of how tasty it made everything. Granted, it probably wasn’t too healthy. Anyway, I’m here for the Chinese BBQ and roasted meats, specifically crispy pork and the honey roasted pork. Both can be sold by weight at 8.99/lb. I was a little disappointed because it looked like I got the crappy part of the honey roasted pork, as in pork bits after they sliced it. What happened to the large generous slices? Ming’s still considered a hole-in-the-wall place but it’s much«nicer» than what it used to be. I imagine they’re doing a better job sticking health codes. Next time, I’ll ask my boyfriend to order in Cantonese to see if we get better slices of pork.

I’ve been here maybe 3x the past 6 months. Great parking! You will find a spot somewhere near Mings. It’s also in a huge shopping/restaurant area so — yes, you can walk around shop, eat, and get dessert. I absolutely love their roast duck. Whew. I’ve had it each time and 1. it comes out crazy fast. Like 5 min wait. 2. Always come with good rice and veggies. I personally never really liked duck, but this place. nom nom. If it weren’t for this, I probably wouldn’t come back. Well, maybe. Their Roasted BBQ Chicken(?) is fairly good. My BF gets their noodles(all kinds of noodle plates). I like it — but not a major fan. I just prefer meat when it comes down to food ha. But the noodle plate is massive. Definitely do it as family style. Same goes for the duck. I know for me and my bf, we don’t like the shrimp, but we keep forgetting to take them out for each plate ha. Seating — it’s medium size. I can imagine people come here for lunch and dinner and it getting busy, so I would advise you to go at a random time. Afterwards, walk over to Sweet Hut!

Ming’s Bar B Que, is one of my favorite Cantonese restaurant in Buford highway. It’s in the same building complex ‘Asian plaza’ as ‘Sweet Hut’ and also my other favorite banh mi place ‘Quoc hong’. I usually like going to Ming’s Bar B Que for breakfast or lunch. Their congee is one of my favorite and as strange as it sounds, it tastes exactly like a porridge(called ‘kanji — sounds much like congee) my mother used to make for us, using broken rice, back in India. None of the Indian restaurants have that in their menu, but when I first tasted it at Ming’s Bar B Que, I was pleasantly surprised. What makes Congee even better here is, it takes different flavors and taste based on what you add to it. You can add fish, chicken, pork, fermented eggs, pig intestine or all the above(combination). I was also told that traditionally you eat it with Chinese donuts(dunk it and eat), which looks like churros without sugar on top. It was delicious but I don’t get it every time(It’s deep fried). Also a must try is bbq honey roasted pig — very tender and juicy. They have bbq duck, chicken, quail and even ribs on the display but I recommend going within an hour after they open because sometime they sell out on certain meat fast. I usually get my congee and one of their today’s special which is a regular portion size item from their menu for just $ 3.99 on that day. You can only order one item for that price per table, which I think is fair given that they don’t skimp on portion size. So for under $ 10, you can eat well and pack some stuff too. I haven’t tried every dish from the menu, but I really like their stir-fried items better. Some of my favorites are beef chow fun, bean sprouts pork, scrambled egg shrimp and garlic broccoli. Also, in my experience the boss lady has always been very nice to me and regularly checked on us about our food. Having been there so many times, she knows my preference in congee too(I usually get combination or pork kidney and intestine congee). Is this the best food I have ever had? No. But I keep going back for their consistency and how cheap it is to eat there. 4 Stars.
