I am a connoisseur of Chinese-American food and a lifelong Rhode Islander. Fu Ming stands out in a very special way. I've only dined-in, and I swear I spiritually ascend to a higher level of existence here.
Food - Obviously the most important thing. The food is incredible. I always get their generous pupu platter, but when I have room for more, the egg foo young is delicious and the fried rice always hits. It's the very best versions of Chinese-American classics made fresh.
Atmosphere - Just as good as the food. Old school early 2000s vibe - comfy booths, fun patterned carpet, assorted plants, paper lanterns, Chinese zodiac placemats. The real highlight is the music, strictly 2000s R&B jams, and it fits the vibe perfectly.
Drinks - I feel like I'm legally obligated to get a scorpion bowl every time I go, but I've had other cocktails too. They are sweet, delicious, and appropriate in strength. I would come here for just cocktails at the bar if the food weren't so irresistible.
Service - Impeccable. You don't have to wait long for a table or your food. The servers are attentive but let you take your time if you wish and don't rush you. Waters never empty, happy to give extra sauces/napkins/etc, and check in at perfect intervals.
I just love Fu Ming in Johnston. I've recommended (proselytized?) them to so many people and will continue to do so. They're a beacon of the community and I hope they're here for many...

I love this place and took me a while to post a review because I don't want people knowing about it lol I want it to myself but I'm sharing it now!! Go visit them you won't be disappointed!!! Prices are so reasonable!! For example, we had a scorpion bowl for 2, a specialty martini, and a large order of lobster sauce and shrimp and the total was $40.32!!! Worth it I think!! I live in Providence and usually have to travel to Massachusetts for good Chinese food but not anymore!!! And it's right next to a nature preserve if you wanna walk of the...
Read moreThis was previously Jade East..they sold it and now it's Fu Ming. I was in the area visiting my grandpa's grave at Highland Memorial and decided to try it. It was absolutely delicious. The won ton soup is delicious. I had the appetizer combo with pork fried rice. The boneless ribs were flavorful, no fat, delicious and the beef teriyaki was also delicious along with the pork fried rice and sweet and sour chicken. This appetizer combo with rice was $10.95 and outstanding. I could barely finish it. The price was amazing for all that fresh, hot, and delicious food. The wait staff friendly and warm greeting. Very attentive but not pestering. Big restaurant as I had gone there when it was Jade East. This place is 100% better than Jade East could ever be. Try it. It was amazing, I thanked everyone for the delicious meal and will definitely go back soon. UPDATE: I go all the time. It's my absolute favorite and the owner Al and Karen are most gracious, attentive and have wonderful personalities..I also had the shrimp with lobster sauce and I'm hooked on it..food is...
