Ming's Garden - San Jose

Hi left a car k Lin's Garden is a small restaurant in Little Plaza right on Hillsdale Avenue in San Jose California. The food is quite good A bit expensive, but so tasty and I personally can eat Chinese food at least twice a week if no more. I like Mushu pork with square pancakes, diced chicken with hot pepper sauce is pretty good, her orange chicken is pretty good, but that's something that no one can walk well anyway They are BBQ pork fried rice, which I could give stars it might have been better and there could have more grill pork in it, so Mings, if you listen to add Morepork and more taste.

Stopped by to get my family?s dinner for takeout. The food was yummy and staff was super friendly. We had combination platters which include fried rice and an egg roll. What a great deal! Szechuan beef and Kung Pao tofu was delicious... a bit spicy as noted so next time will ask for it mild. We also had Chow Mein with pork and chicken.. very yummy.. sautéed string beans were also a nice side. Nice restaurant to have in my neighborhood. Will use it for all our Chinese food takeout orders from now on.

Ordered through Doordash, very hit and miss. Potstickers and the sauce with fresh ginger was delicious. Hunan beef had delicious sauce and vegetables, meat not tender but it was good. Chow mein was good but the Sweet Sour was a disaster. No pineapple, onion or bell pepper....it looked like popcorn chicken and then they give you not enough sweet and sour you are supposed to pour yourself. It tasted like fryer oil and should be taken off menu until they improve it. Dont order the Sweet and Sour and you should be OK.

Been going here for a few years even dined inside came here to support them even though we drive from the Cambrian Park Plaza area and pass by numerous Chinese restaurants. We purchased about $70 worth of food to go they gave us one small container of sweet and sour at which time we requested additional container for dipping since the meal was going to be split between 3 people he then informed us that it's a dollar extra charge per container, seriously! you want to charge $1 for each extra container of dipping sauce after we just purchase $70 worth of food I don't think this is very good business practice and will never come back here again. Obviously the dollar meant more to him then the repeat of our repeat business not counting the referrals.

Ming 's has become my favorite Chinese restaurant in the South Bay. The 'dining room ' is small and nothing to get excited about but it 's comfortable. We usually get our food 'to go ' and we 're always delighted with the quality, the portions and the price. I don 't know how these wonderful folks can be profitable with such reasonable prices. When we order by phone, the food is prepared fresh and very promptly. Thank you Ming 's!
