Well... the Ming Teh... just typing the name makes me feel as if I should be throwing my hands down in prayer. This little jewel in an otherwise desolate landscape of mediocre eateries is truly da hawt spawt in the city. Favorites include the steamed dumplings; (oh the humanity! oh, the dough!!!), sweet and sour soup (the conflicting flavors creating a wonderland for your senses); moo shu make-it-yourself-pancakes (not your mama's crepes- an adventure every time); white wine shrimp (a delicacy that truly is the eight wonder of the world); and chewy dried fried beef strips (the name says it all- both chewy, dried, fried, and stripped!). But possibly, the most delicious part of this culinary institution is the dear little family who owns the establishment. Always willing to give a bang for your buck, if I don't say so myself! In all seriousness, this is the only good part of canadia (or is it canada? It's so insignificant that I often forget). Please, give the Ming Teh a visit. It's worth the insufferably nice customs...
Read moreAn absolutely horrible experience!!. We walked in to be told that the server would be cleaning a table, so to wait at the front door. Some time later ,after the only other party in the restaurant left, we were guided to a beautiful back room. I politely asked if it would be okay to have a table by the window after the server pointed to a table on far side of the room, away from the window and lovely view of the water. She apparently had kept us waiting at the front door to clean the table which definitely was not , and nastily mumbled how angry she was that I had asked for a table by the window, in spite of the fact we were the only customers in the restaurant. Very nasty older lady and I have since been told that she is the owner. We left immediately. Never going back and will definitely spread the word to others re our experience . Very disappointing as we have been there before and had lovely service as well as such excellent food. Disgusting how we were treated after driving quite a...
Read moreI absolutely love this restaurant for 20 years. And it's still the exact same quality it always has been. You've never had Chinese food like this I can promise you. I wish I had more pictures to show you some of the other delicious options but please do not skip out on the wonton soup. This is not the wonton soup you think it is this will be the best wonton soup you've ever had in your entire life. The brass will literally blow your mind and the dumplings are absolutely delicious. Don't skip out on the steamed dumplings in the pan fried dumplings as well. The dipping sauce they make for the dumplings is an unami of Flavor in Your mouth. If you got time, pre-order the Peking duck. They serve the dark skin the crispy duck skin in thin pancakes with a hoisin sauce and it is probably one of my favorite meals on the planet. I can't pump this place up enough. Not to mention you're right on the water it's a beautiful view of the Niagara river. Definitely a hidden gem in the...
