I would definitely come again to this "very hole in the wall" restaurant. This was my 2nd time and I did the boring conforming thing, ordering the sure thing (meaning, I listened to your feedback) -- the "chow fun with beef & vegetables" and a half order of the "soy sauce chicken". I had 2 people in my party and the portions were more than adequate. Both dishes were very tasty.  "Chow fun noodles" is the "test" dish I order at every Chinese restaurant (like "Pad Thai" for Thai, "galbi" for Korean) for comparison and I thought it was way better than Canton Cooks. If you like experimenting, there is plenty to choose from - their menu is VERY extensive.

It's so close to my house, inexpensive, quick -- I'll be here again soon. Reminder -- they are "cash only". And, they are closed on Tuesdays.

YEA....still a fan!  This time around I revisited the Beef Chow Fun, because the last time I don't think they heard me say 'dry'.  It was dry this time, and very good...noodles were excellent but could use some more beef...but for under $6 you can't beat it.

Also ordered the soy sauce chik which had great flavor.  They had some type of seasoning on the chopped chives that was killer (probably just MSG!!!).  Be careful of the bones though...this ain't boneless.

Started off with some wonton soup that was very good, pork dumplings were nice and plenty of veges in the broth.  Broth itself was just o.k.

Ah...and can't forget about the Chinese fried dough!  For only a buck....this is a sweet treat although not meant as dessert.  I love all types of dough that is fried.

Let's see how many times I'm gonna update this place....oh, CASH ONLY!  But at these prices...it doesn't hurt!

I have never really eaten inside the place but always order duck or pork to go.  The food can be a hit or miss sometime.  There have been time where my duck seem to be yesterday duck- still cold, dry and fat solid attach.

Service is ok-typical asian service where you won't get a reaction.

The interior is your typical cheap Buford Hwy restaurant look.

Carry cash they don't take any other form of payments.

Nice and cheap casual Hong Kong bbq eatery. This is where you can get your roasted ducks, chickens, Chinese bbq pork, wonton noodles...etc.  It's fairly inexpensive for what they give you. Besides the meats, they have a menu full of popular Cantonese dishes where they'll cook in the back. Business is good which is a plus in this type of place because then the meats are fresh.

Bad-ass Cantonese butcher and noodle shop.  Pop in and buy a soy-sauce chicken, smoked duck or some roast pork to go.

Dining in, grab a possibly dirty table, and plan to down a large bowl of steaming hot clear Chinese-style broth with fresh noodles.  Add some really good wontons (real hand made wontons mind you not the crap that is given away for free by most mediocre Chinese [-esque] joint in this country), chicken or roast duck.  Also watch out for dishes on the specials board.  I've had salt-and-pepper soft shell crab and squid at various times that just plain rocked.

I give it 5 stars for its value, authenticity and simplicity.  This place is far from beautiful but it is the best of its kind in the area.  I lived in China, but in the North, and crave this kind of food.  Ming's fits the bill better than any other spot I know for cheap-and-cheerful straightforward Chinese in IOP Atlanta.

i ordered some take out for cha sui and soysauce chicken. sat in the microwave till dinner time and it didnt taste as good as eating at the restaurant. food service was FAST. just like being in hong kong or nyc chinatown. rices plates looked a bit small, but you'll eat anything when you are hungry. good place to eat and food is cheap. highly recommended. best cantonese style restaurant in ATL so far.. make sure to being cash, they dont accept credit cards.

I don't know how many times I have been here but if I did count it, it would be in the high 3 digits. I love this place.
This is the closes thing to chinatown in Manhatty for comfort chinese food. All the BBQ is very good. But you must try the rest of the extensive menu. Wonton noodle soup is darn tasty. The congee with 1000 yr old egg and shredded pork is great for hangovers. The beef chowfun could be the best in Atl. The rice plates are cheap, tasty and good portions. Just make sure you get a half or full duck or else they give you the boney pieces with no meat. They recently expanded about another 4 feet on the right side and redid the decor so it doesn't look like a road side shack anymore. But I kinda liked the old rundown look. The prices have increased a bit as well but still a bargain. Run over to Ranch 99 and pick up some fresh buns from the bakery part, hot dog bun and roast pork bun are great for a quick snack.
