Ming Garden — Restaurant in Kenosha

I used to love this place but the food has been horrible lately. Last time I ate there I got extremely sick and ended up in the bathroom all night. Thought it might have been something else I ate so I just tried it again tonight…. The crab rangoons were barely filled(they were mostly wonton wrappers), it was sad. The pork fried rice was awful- very old rice (hard texture like when you try to reheat leftover rice with out proper moisture), the pork looked greyish and just tasted hard like it was old as well, the rice only had bean sprouts, no other veggies at all! Purchased 2 containers and ended up throwing it all away. Now it’s 12 am and I’m in the bathroom sick again. I was going to go to a different place but Ming garden was closer. I won’t be making that...

I ordered my usual lunch - sweet and sour chicken with two extra egg rolls. What I got was cold fried rice, no extra egg rolls and a mound of greasy eggs laid on top of the fried rice, also greasy. When I returned home with the order, I noticed that the two extra egg rolls I paid for were missing. I called to complain and was told that the blob of greasy eggs actually cost more than the two egg rolls so I got a real deal! The whole meal tasted like it was cooked in old grease. The eggs went in the trash as they were inedible. After a few bites, I threw out the whole meal, except the one egg roll that came as part of the order. A real disappointment. Ming Garden has lost my business and that of my family...

I've never dined in but get takeout regularly as it near a family member's house. Ming Garden has the best crab rangoon I've ever had, very savory, nicely balanced, always fried up just right. If you like onions and mushrooms and can handle a bit of spice the Mongolian beef is really good, too. One thing I would warn people is that their "Cantonese lo-mein" is different from other lo-main in our area; it is thinner and a little crispier and a slightly different flavor. It's not my preference and the first time I ordered it not knowing there was a difference and brought it to someone that requested lo-mein they were disappointed. The family that run it are really nice, though, this is a great Kenosha...
