    We ordered a pu-pu and other items on Christmas Eve, they still accommodated us with allergies which was amazing, however the food was LESS than desirable, we ordered $65 in food, we ended up getting rid of everything:/ I even double checked to see what had changed and they told me the only thing that changed was the chicken teriyaki, bologna! That and the chicken fingers were the only Thing that seemed similar, I’m not sure why you would make so many changes to one of the MOST popular Chinese food places around. I’ve heard they own another Chinese food place that caters to tourists, and it makes sense to me.. you only have to please them once.. but for us locals we’ll just find a new place. I hope you change the food back but I don’t even know that I’ll give this place a second chance.

    This is the best Chinese food I have ever had in my life. Granted it had been a while since I've dined at a Chinese restaurant; that being said, the leftovers I took home were still great the next day. I don't consider myself a huge foodie, but I have been having about Ming Lee to all my friends and family since yesterday. I should mention that I ordered a pu pu platter. And every item was the best I have ever eaten: right down to the chicken wings. 🙌

    Always used to LOVE Ming Lee… They were the best place to go every time we wanted Chinese food. Not sure what has happened in the last 6 months but the food has definitely gone down hill from where they stood before. One great example the crab rangoons used to be my favorite and I don’t even like seafood. Well this time first bite into one all I could taste was onion. I do onion on most of my food but this was very strong tasting and if I didn’t like onion I would have been VERY disappointed and grossed out. Still was disappointed but made it through them. We had a pupu for 2 lg chicken wings sm chicken lo mein sm veg lo mein sm chow mein and extra rice and was $120. Could be a lot worse but still kinda expensive for sup par food. But been seeing a lot of people changing their opinions of Ming Lee and had to try it out and am gonna say my opinion has changed as well. Still decent but definitely not the BEST.
