    Wow, I get to type the first review for Ming Lings. :)

    I grew up in Gary, Indiana in Miller not too far from Ming Ling.
    Like many kids who grew up in Miller, Ming Lings was the first place I ever tasted  Chinese food.
    I moved from Gary 24 years ago and I live in San Francisco now. I am spoiled by all the good Chinese food here in San Francisco.

    I went back to Ming Lings last summer on a visit to Gary.
    I am glad they haven't changed a thing since I moved away as a kid.
    Everyone in town still loves Ming Lings and I can't bring myself to saying something negative about them. That would almost be as bad as saying something bad about a family member online. All I can say is that my taste has changed, A LOT!. ;)

    That special sauce they have I used to love as a kid, well I honestly don't  know what it is. The taste did bring back memories and their deep fried wantons were great.
    I will still recommend that this is one of the better places to eat in Gary. If not, the only place left to eat in Gary. :)
    I still prefer it over that over-priced place across the street (Miller Beach Cafe).

    Glad to see Ming Lings still in business.

    As with Larry J, I grew up on Ming Ling.  That said, I still love them! I cannot get enough and feel a slight pang in my heart whenever I eat Chinese food (even if it's better).  They have a distinct taste that I have not found replicated.  They are family owned and fantastic.  Most definitely a treat compared to some of the other "Beach" restaurants on the near by streets.  The fried wontons are wonderful and their fried rice is always great.  Everyone should go to Ming Ling at least once.  You'll be a fan as well!

    I grew up on Ming Ling, moved away 10 years ago, and no Chinese takeout I have found in San Diego holds a candle to Ming Ling's pork egg rolls and their special duck sauce! Just LOVE this place! The owners are so nice too.
