Chef Ming’s Kitchen

This place is so bomb!
I only have went here twice, both times have been right before they were going to close and they prepared it right in front of me.
I got shrimp fried rice… BOMB.

They have great lunch specials with great portions. Only thing is they forgot my salad dressing when I ordered for delivery. Other than that, not a bad lunch out.

I love this place, I always order the Kung Pao lunch special at work and I’m always satisfied…

I ordered a combo plate wit beef an broccoli an i asked for a lil more beef then broccoli an the lady start sayin that they cant do that bc the beef is expensive. She also had had service will not go again.

Writing this review for the ghastly boba. Yes, it’s cheap, but it is SO BAD. Like the worst boba I’ve ever had in my life. The pearls fall apart in your mouth with zero resistance, and the milk tea is watery and flavorless. It’s honestly worse than some instant package boba I’ve had (yes, that exists).
Also, my friends and I got immediate stomach aches after drinking it. All 3 of us, instant stomach ache. No coincidence there! Definitely do not ever come here for boba.
The owners of the restaurant are really, really sweet and nice though – which is why I feel so guilty writing this terrible review. But as an honest Unilocaler, I have no choice. I promise to come back in exactly 2 months; if the boba is better I will update this review right away.

The place has decent Chinese food and it really embraces technology. You can order by phone, online, or via Eat24. You can’t beat the convenience when you crave Chinese food and cannot make it out of your workplace or home. :)

Not sure who gave this place more than 2 stars but Panda Express is 1000 times better than this place. They claim everything is prepared fresh… Not at all everything that I ordered was reheated. What that means to me is they cooked it originally in oil then reheated it in oil. Double the clogged arteries. The ration from protein to vegetable was pathetic. But they have no problems dumping a ton of rice on the plate. Probably won’t be coming back to this place.

Chef Mings was my local chinese take away and I used to order here around twice a month… Until, as a repeat customer, I felt the quality of my meal one night was well below average. I took it back and asked for a refund. Something a business should not hesitate to offer to secure further custom. — Some time has past and I go to order my chinese take away tonight to find they have put a note on my number to strictly «no take order from you.» There are plenty other chinese around here. They won’t miss me. Nor will I miss them. I would suggest avoiding this place until new management.
All in all:
Food quality: ⁶⁄₁₀
Time to deliver: ⁵⁄₁₀
Customer service: ⁴⁄₁₀

Right on time! Solid Chinese food.
Good portions. Hit & sour, orange chicken, fried rice all good.
Thanks!

Came by for lunch and was on the can crapping water thirty minutes later… I’d skip it unless that’s something you like. Enjoy!

If I could give this a 0 star I would so do it I found bugs under the cover of my soup and that made me not even want to eat no more. This company should be reported to department of health.

Cant beat the lunch special during the weekday. Two entrée combo with fried rice and noodles for under $ 7. Super good.

2 Item Lunch Special: Orange Chicken and Orange Chicken and Fried Rice. You will not finish this unless you are a fat ass. $ 7 for a lunch w/​enough leftovers for half a dinner. I don’t order anything else because why? This place is a better/​cheaper Panda

Horrible service, horrible food (not fresh), save your money.

Just had Hawaiian fried rice from here, I have two words for it/them…super gross, maybe three words, Nasty!

I’ve only had delivery from this place but after trying a few other local Chinese spots this is the place I always come back to. I don’t know why there are so many sketchy reviews but for the basics and just overall solid Chinese food this is my spot. Cream cheese wontons, fried wontons, Kung pao chicken, Thai iced tea, hot and sour soup, fried rice and pork buns… pretty sure that’s everything I’ve tried so far but everything has been good. And heads up, that Tasty Wok place was the worst Chinese food I’ve ever had so if you like that place maybe you like shitty Americanized Chinese food n that’s why u give places like this bad reviews. But for everyone else, this place is the best Chinese delivery in Brentwood for sure.

Aside from my previous review forget that I give them a 1 star I ordered fried chicken and when I bit into the chicken it was pink like medium rare steak red I couldnt even eat it and owner wanted to give me another one sfter seeing that dont think ill order there no more they SUCK

I LOVE Chef Ming’s cooking. I have been eating his Chinese food since the late ‘80s, when his restaurant was in West Hollywood. Then I followed him to the little takeout spot on Olympic. Now, happily, he’s on the West Side.
The lack of great Chinese food in West L.A. is so frustrating. For my money, there are only two choices: Chef Ming’s and Hop Woo. But, my loyalty is to Mr. Ming. (Though — spoiler alert — the real Chef Ming retired. Now his former employees run the joint, with his recipes. I miss his cheerful presence, but the food is still terrific.)
What is special about this restaurant’s food is its lightness. Chef Ming never went for the gloopy sauces and heavy oil of many Chinese places. So, you feel healthy after eating his food.
I will praise one specific item, the Chicken With Vegetables in White Wine Sauce, because I have been compulsively eating it for more than 25 years! On paper it is the world’s simplest item, but the preparation and subtle flavors make it so delicious!
If I could knock them a half-​star, I would do it for the horrible mini-​mall they moved into. It is really nasty. But — since most people on this page seem to use Chef Ming for delivery, that’s not a concern around here!
Enjoy! Yum!

take out review only. I got the garlic broccoli which is literally only broccoli which is slightly flavored with barely any sauce. My fiancé got the kung pow chicken which he said was average.
It came with free rice. We were basically underwhelmed but ate it all anyway :)

Have ordered from here twice. Both times the delivery was faster than promised, and both times the food was absolutely delicious.
The first time I ordered was with a vegetarian. She ordered the «fake» orange chicken and said it was some of the best she had ever had.
The second time I ordered with a different friend who declared we were never ordering takeout Chinese from anywhere else.
Do I give this place 5 stars because it’s gourmet Chinese food? No. I’ve never stepped foot in the restaurant and frankly probably never will. However not only was the food delicious (I’ve tried the egg rolls, mu shu, lo mein, and fake orange chicken), it didn’t taste as unhealthy as typical takeout Chinese food does– it wasn’t nearly as greasy. I definitely will continue to order from here (you can use seamless!) for all of my future Chinese orders and would recommend to all!
