Our focus remains on their hakka noodles and fried rice smokey, tangy, delicious. Accompaniments we have ordered to go with the carbs chili, sweet and sour, Manchurian and in veg chicken fish are all spectacular as well.

The chili chicken seemed to have been re-fried, losing its tenderness, which is unacceptable for a $20 dish. Additionally, the noodles were excessively oily. Ming has now joined my list of hit-or-miss Indo-Chinese restaurants in NJ. I'm lowering my rating as a result.

We ordered the Hakka noodles and chili paneer, both of which tasted like something out of a frozen meal. I was shocked at how much they charged for such low-quality food. I've heard great reviews about this place, so I'm not sure if it's due to the pandemic or inflation, but it certainly didn't live up to the hype. To make matters worse, they accidentally served us tofu instead of paneer without even informing us! We suspected something was off, but they let us eat it and only asked at the end of the meal if everything was okay. When we mentioned that the paneer tasted like tofu, the staff member casually admitted that they had mixed up our order with someone else's and seemed surprised we hadn't said anything sooner. Wow! We requested a refund, which they honored, but this raises serious concerns. What if it had been meat? (I'm vegetarian). This level of dishonesty is completely unacceptable.

We ordered the vegetable dumplings, which were underfilled. The cauliflower Manchurian was overly greasy—just way too much oil! The aftertaste was unpleasant. The Thai egg fried rice was merely ordinary fried rice with eggs, lacking any vegetables, and the portion size was so small for $20 that it wouldn't even be enough for one person. Overall, it was a very unsatisfactory experience!

The service was prompt, and my friend, who had visited before, had nothing but praise for the restaurant as well.
