Mings Gardens — Restaurant in Town of Cardston

Stopped for lunch, ordered from menu the Sesame Chicken with Honey and Shrimp Fried Rice with 2 egg rolls. Egg rolls looked like a McDonalds turnover -folded and were crunchy outside with the consistency of oatmeal inside. Barely edible. The chicken was DISGUSTING! So fried it was chewy and it looked like calamari with sesame seeds dumped on it. I tried it and told my husband not to eat it. We shared the Shrimp Fried Rice. However the worst part of the experience was the way the staff(Asian) treated the Native American woman who came in and asked for a to go container for one for the buffet. She partly ignored her and sent her to the plate area. The Native American said again about a 2 go and the staff waived her to a table.

Would NEVER patronize the place again based on how I witnessed they treat non-white customers and I would absolutely not eat there again because the food was...

Saturday 15, 2025 ..Approximately 6-6:30 pm . Husband picked up our order and he said there were only two tables eating in restaurant. Ordered two orders( #2 and #5 for one person) plus two spring rolls. Everything we had tasted like OLD deep fry oil! Spring rolls over cooked and black. All the meats were so tough we could not cut through nor chew. The chow mein was raw cabbage and dry noodles. The rice had dried out pieces of chicken ( I think it was chicken) Nothing tasted good. Everything was awful. Returned all to get our money back. Approximately $50. Go eat somewhere else. This place is...

Small town Chinese food restaurant but THE BEST Chinese food in SW Alberta! I've tried most of the places on Lethbridge and Mings in Cardston is definitely the best. The staff are very friendly and will often chat with you if you engage them. The buffet has great options and it's usually full and fresh unless you get there close to their change-over time from lunch to supper which is around 3pm-4pm. They also have a cold salad and fruit bar and a small ice cream freezer. The food tastes great and the customer service is...
