Ming's — Restaurant in Pleasant Hill

We came here on a Saturday night but luckily we had s reservation so we sat down rather quickly despite the crowd. We were initially deterred by the fact that most diners were not Asians, which gave out a bad signal this might not be authentic. Their menu also offers egg fuyon among other Americanized Chinese food dishes.

Nevertheless, we decided to give them a chance. We ordered their walnut shrimp, crispy ginger chicken, black pepper beef, shredded pork with Chinese mushroom, Pork Chop Peking Style and Gai-lan in Oyster sauce. I think my table was really surprised in a good way. We really love the black pepper steak as it is very tender and peppery. The pork chop peking style is sweet and sour and lightly fried and the portion is generous. I also really like the shredded pork with Chinese mushroom. The crispy ginger chicken is their signature dish but I didn't find it special. Guess it is not my type of flavors.

The owner Ming, was friendly and came to check upon us. I like how he is attentive and cares about his customers. We will definitely return for more dishes AND stay away from their...

They have terrible customer service. We were 6 of us celebrating occasion. Put our name on the list with very rude receptionist name Natalya. After 1 hour they text me the table is ready. When we went to the table it was 100 percent sun. We went back to talk to Natalya, she said that it is there is no covered table available. I asked to talk to her manager. His name is Terry, he had the worst customer service. There was empty table next to us with shad he wouldn’t give it to us. It was left empty for over an hour. Their food quality dropped to very low quality. All the tables have out side does not have cover or umbrella. I will complain to licensing board. It is unsafe and unhealthy to put guests under direct sun. We also find out the owner has been change, the new owner is an Arab that does not know how to mange. Do not recommend...

My first time here today and I was pretty disappointed after hearing some good reviews. I got an order of potstickers, and they were deep fried and very oily. I've never had deep fried potstickers before, they were not good, very hard to chew. I also got the Mongolian beef. The flavor was good, but almost every piece of meat was tough and grossly, was not able to chew at all. I ended up not eating it, so it was a waste of money and.my time. The service was good. The man who took my order. It was very nice and we had a great conversation. The restaurant seemed very inviting and comfortable. Maybe it was a bad day. I don't know, but it was...
