Ming's Palace - Soquel

Very good food. Every thing was fresh. Restaurant very clean.

Reasonably priced and very friendly. Easiest option for us to call ahead for takeout chinese food. Vegetarian options: They have them.

Very inexpensive lunch special I believe they serve it between 11:00 and 3:00

Short review: Good food, quick service, friendly, and clean.Long review:Okay, my photos don't do this place or this food justice. I was too busy enjoying it and was lucky to get any pictures of the food because we dug right in. Nice, minimalistic setup with lots of wood. Wood floors, some paneling on the walls, and mahogany furniture. I felt like I was in another dimension due to how quiet and serene it was in there, and that is a good thing.Upon receiving the nicely sized, waterproof texture menus, we were overwhelmed with a sense of nostalgia trailing back to another spot we miss dearly in the Bay Area. That's beside the point. I had been looking for Hunan beef [crispy beef] for a while and happened to find it here, per my partner's recommendation. We also got the appetizer combo plate and chow mein the familiar dish that is easy to screw up at most restaurants but Ming's makes it delicious and comforting. Perfect noodles and perfect rice. Seriously, I feel like I'm at an aunt's house when I eat from here. Reasonable price too, we totally got takeout the next day after coming here for dinner the first time. I don't understand why people are complaining that the server is mean. I thought she was just straightforward and swift. If you want to be babied, please go back to Texas Roadhouse or Applebee's.

Delivery order of beef w. Eggplant (eggplant so overcooked it was practically a single mushy entity… watery hot sour soup…mu shu pork had random pieces of smoked pork mixed in. I have not eaten from Mings in 3 years. Very disappointed.
