Kong Ming — Restaurant in Newark

So, roughly seven years ago, some time after our favourite local Chinese food joint mysteriously went bye-bye, we decided to take a chance on this unassuming little place. It's near where I live, and I remember my late grandfather getting food from here years ago (although I'm sure the place has changed hands since then).

This is not a place you can sit down in-- it's strictly takeaway food. When you call, you either get someone who speaks and understands English well, or you get someone who, well... doesn't. In the latter case, you just have to make sure you get your order read back to you to avoid any mistakes.

The food...is delicious. Since we live near the place, we barely have time to sit down before the delivery person calls to tell us he's arrived. The food gets here maybe ten-fifteen minutes after we order it, so our food is always hot when it arrives. Food's always fresh-tasting and satisfying. My go-to dish is shrimp with broccoli--the broccoli is always perfect, with a good bite. Their General Tso's items could stand more broccoli (when did Chinese restaurants stop adding broccoli to that dish?) so I order extra for a dollar more

We can actually tell if the chef has changed by the quality of the food, or how thick the sauce is or isn't. Our favourite days seem to be Tuesday and Saturday. It's good all the time, but those days seem to be much better than others.

I have not tried everything on the menu because reasons, but we've ordered from here consistently over the span of six years, give or take, so that should give you some idea as to how good the food is.

My only qualm with Kong Ming is they don't have brown rice. Maybe they'll add it if we ask, but we're probably not gonna quit...

Certainly not my favorite in Newark but will do. It's close to where I live so it's convenient and the food is decent. Don't get me wrong the food is okay it's just not on the level of some other spots like Amin's on chancellor Ave, loon Hing , or Aiesha kitchen and other spots. Staff is friendly. Prices a little bit up...

No seats in the waiting area. Service was good. I'm liking the food. Does not take debit or credit cards. Over all,...
