We ordered the vegetable dumplings, which were underfilled. The cauliflower Manchurian was overly greasy—just way too much oil! The aftertaste was unpleasant. The Thai egg fried rice was merely ordinary fried rice with eggs, lacking any vegetables, and the portion size was so small for $20 that it wouldn't even be enough for one person. Overall, it was a very unsatisfactory experience!

While this can be seen as a tip, I hope you experience outstanding service to make it worthwhile. I’m deducting one star for this automatic charge and the fact that customers are not given the option to choose their own gratuity.

We ordered the Hakka noodles and chili paneer, both of which tasted like something out of a frozen meal. I was shocked at how much they charged for such low-quality food. I've heard great reviews about this place, so I'm not sure if it's due to the pandemic or inflation, but it certainly didn't live up to the hype. To make matters worse, they accidentally served us tofu instead of paneer without even informing us! We suspected something was off, but they let us eat it and only asked at the end of the meal if everything was okay. When we mentioned that the paneer tasted like tofu, the staff member casually admitted that they had mixed up our order with someone else's and seemed surprised we hadn't said anything sooner. Wow! We requested a refund, which they honored, but this raises serious concerns. What if it had been meat? (I'm vegetarian). This level of dishonesty is completely unacceptable.

We always order their hakka noodles and fried rice, which are perfectly smoky, tangy, and flavorful. The sides we pair with the carbs—chili, sweet and sour, and Manchurian—along with the vegetarian, chicken, and fish dishes, are all outstanding.

The chili chicken tasted like it had been re-fried, losing its tenderness, which is unacceptable for a $20 dish. On top of that, the noodles were overly greasy. Ming has now become one of the hit-or-miss Indo-Chinese spots in NJ for me. I'm lowering my rating accordingly.

The description promised a variety of vegetables, but it definitely did not live up to that expectation.

We asked for them to be spicy, and they met our expectations perfectly. If you're craving Indo-Chinese cuisine, this is definitely the place to order from!

The Kung Pao Potato with Cashew Nuts was incredibly spicy; I found myself coughing, sneezing, and needing to blow my nose often. read more The Kung Pao Potato with Cashew Nuts was incredibly spicy; I found myself coughing, sneezing, and needing to blow my nose often.
