  Ming's is hands down my favorite go-to Chinese restaurant when I randomly want to eat out. They're sort of a hole in the wall restaurant located at the back of a shopping plaza on Buford Hwy that takes cash or debit card only.
  
  The food here is perfect for family style meals. Tastes authentic, perfectly seasoned with great flavors, portion sizes are great for the prices, and lots of variety. I have yet to taste a dish that I haven't liked. My personal favorites to order are the dry noodle beef chow fun, salt and pepper squid, salt and pepper tofu, and garlic eggplant. The eggplant here is cooked in a garlic black bean sauce and just tastes incredible. I don't know how they make eggplant taste so good. It's best over steamed rice. Be careful ordering this dish though; it always comes out steaming hot! Never been a fan of tofu until I came here and ordered the salt and pepper tofu. The portion is much bigger than the salt and pepper squid for a much cheaper cost, so if you're a lover of that dish, definitely try this one!
  
  The only downfalls.. customer service is just okay. They don't really check on you much and aren't too friendly. The steamed rice is only complimentary with some dishes, which is very odd for a family style Asian restaurant, and they don't even give you a lot. You have to ask for more, and even then, not much more is given. Cash or debit only, but I don't recall there being any signs to warn you. I just know because I've come so many times. Also, their to go hardly tastes as good as dining in.
  
  But, those flaws aside, Ming's is amazing. I would highly recommend taking your family to eat here!

  This is the second location to the legendary Mings on pleasant hill road. While much of the menu is the exact same, some of the items are not available here (-1 star) as crispy garlic chicken is the main reason I come to Mings.
  
  The Galean is still delicious and the food is still good. But unfortunately even when they have food on the menu that they do serve, it tends to be out of stock (-1 star)
  
  All in all a pretty good family style dining experience but for the location with all that competition in the plaza, I cannot say that this should be the restaurant you choose.
  
  My suggestion is to get all the items available on the menu including crispy garlic chicken.

  Oh how the mighty have fallen.
  
  When I moved to Atlanta a little over three years ago, this was the spot. A rice plate and 2/3 different kinds of meet for less than $8? What a steal!  I loved this place with all my heart, and come Thanksgiving '16 and '17, having no friends in the ATL to spend Thanksgiving with, I ate by my lonesome self at Ming's BBQ with the entire staff basically surrounding my table attending to my every need. And I didn't care, it was fantastic. 5-stars.
  
  But now, they jacked up the price of the rice plate combo so that you have to pay more than 11 for it all? Ouch number 1. Secondly, my Mandarin isn't the best, but I usually try to converse with the waiters in Mandarin, which  I think they appreciate, even if I butchered it a little (no pun intended from a BBQ duck place). But the last time I went, I got SCOLDED and MOCKED by the older woman for what I accidentally said (which was not offensive at all), which soured my entire experience. She gave me a stink-eye for the rest of my time there. Ouch number 2.
  
  Ming's BBQ is great. I love the food, and it's a good haven for me when I crave roast duck and Asian BBQ. But it's not the same. I understand that people go to restaurants to eat, but I embrace customer service and consistency with the culinary experience, and the constant increase in price and the rude lady has ruined it for me. Now that I have friends in ATL (yay!) and my wife (double yay!), I won't be going back to Ming's any time soon.

  Not sure why this place doesn't have 5 stars already, so hopefully my photos show you it's deserving! The staff at Ming's is so prompt and attentive. The food is served extremely quickly, although you'd think it would have taken a lot longer because of the perfect presentation and amazing taste. You wouldn't believe the amount of good quality food you're able to get at Ming's for such a low price. The must tries are the Roast Duck Noodle Soup and the Salt Pepper Shrimp! Pretty much any dish with their Roast Duck is a winner. More photos to come because this is now our second home!

  I've been a long time fan of Ming's BBQ in Duluth and just recently realized this one existed towards the back of Asian Square...lol.
  
  Parking: OK. Ming's shares its parking area with the entire plaza. The location neighbors other restaurants like La Mei Zi so it can be tight during peak hours.
  
  The Doraville menu is slightly limited compared to Duluth's. This is totally understandable as this location is about half the size and not as well-known. I mainly visit Ming's BBQ for their crispy roast pork and honey bbq pork. Both are always delicious!!
  
  Service: Great! Staff is mainly quick on their feet. Food is served in a reasonable amount of time.
  
  The location is a bit dated and small, but the prices are reasonable and the food is pretty good! I highly recommend Ming's over BBQ Corner located a couple of shops down. I'll be back soon!
