Ming Inn Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Port Lincoln

When you think of Port Lincoln you think of seafood and the large fishing industry, but the food sometimes can be overlooked, especially when it involves other cultures and traditions. Chinese food is a household favourite and Ming Inn is absolutely amazing. The food is authentic tasting and it’s delicious. For the price, yes it can be expensive but for the amount you get, the quality and overall taste is worth every part of it. The best part is that you’re offered to take whatever is unfinished back home just incase you haven’t had enough yet.

There are other competitors across Port Lincoln not only in Chinese or Asian cuisine, but Italian has been largely popular on the EP. If I was to recommend someone a multicultural restaurant, Ming Inn is my first choice....

I have been on the way travelling around west coastal of SA for nearly a week, which made me crave for Chinese food an awful lot as a Chinese. As luck would have it, I found a couple of Chinese restaurants in Port Lincoln. At the beginning, I did not anticipate so much since most Chinese food was ajusted to accommodate Aussie taste instead of keeping our authentic flavour, but their food was really not that bad. It was worth of money compared to many Chinese restaurants in other cities. One suggestion would be adding some Chinese translations on the menu, so it felt like more traditional. The waitress was so friendly...

Sadly not a good meal! The chicken chow mien (pictured) was like nothing we’d ever seen before - crispy noodles and gelatinous chicken which we couldn’t eat. Told the waitress that this dish in particular wasn’t good and she didn’t offer any sort of reaction. Other dishes tasted strange, like the deep fried chilli beef which tasted like sweet and sour... all in all, a very confusing meal. Ps also included is a picture of the jug of Diet Coke we got, which was probably the best part of the meal...
