To give you some context: I had lunch at Panda Express before dining at Chef Ming's. While I have nothing against Panda, it quickly became clear who reigns supreme in terms of flavor after my meal at Ming's. The dishes here are less greasy, contain no MSG, and aren't overly salty—it's as if they've graduated from an etiquette school for well-mannered meals!
Despite being tiny, with just a bar counter for on-site dining, don’t underestimate its impact. The takeout service operates like a well-oiled machine, consistently churning out one delectable order after another. Though the prices might suggest a Beverly Hills experience, your wallet won't complain once you taste the magic that’s on off...
I visited this restaurant today, Sunday, and I won't be returning. The staff never asked how my food was or if I needed water. The table was dirty, and the food lacked the authentic Chinese flavors you would expect; honestly, a TV dinner would taste better and cost much less. I couldn't help but notice that I was the only customer, which makes me think the locals know better. Save yourself the disappointment and choose a different place. I'm new to the area and learning this the hard way. Is it common for restaurants to serve food in plastic trays? Take-out is fine, but when I dine in, I expect to eat off a proper plate, especially considering the price. This situation feels really off! I us...
so i have known about this place since about 2011, however never had a desire to try it. Just seemed possibly dumpy (sorry. Plus those mailers on a door never tend to be something I go for. but the food is legit. The sweet and sour chicken (which i haven't had since I was a kid was actually good. The chicken lo mien was delicious. We ended up ordering a couple weeks later and got the orange chicken. That was decent, but not wow... Looking forward to try again in the future. It is definitely not something I can eat regularly, but would if I had the metabolism of my high school era.
I've been going to this restaurant since it opened. It's fairly decent for takeout Chinese food. However, the prices are significantly higher than they should be for this type of cuisine. Inflation in wholesale food costs cannot justify their current pricing. Charging $19 for fried rice is absolutely outrageous. Overall, I'd rate the food a 3 out of 5.

Chef Mings Kitchen is one of the best Chinese takeouts in LA just fantastic have been going to Chef Ming ever since Chef Ming was on Santa Monica Blvd and Crescent Heights (I even went there with Madonna once) and it is still just as good as it was in the 80s (when I lived in Laurel Canyon).
I ordered from here recently; General tso’s chicken. It was HORRIBLE quality. Every bite I took was chewy and stringy “meat”. I spit each bite out, then I just had to dispose the rest of this food after. It made me sick after too. Do not recommend this place at all. Worst quality ever.
Would definitely come back and try their other dishes. Had their king pal chicken and Singapore noodles and both plates where left empty as they both had good flavors and spices. Going to save this spot for the area.
Rice was hard and old and DRY! A definite no! We ordered shrimp fried rice and vegetable fried rice.
