Quick info
About Ming Star
On Forrest St in Airdrie, Ming Star is a Chinese takeaway serving orange chicken as coated strips with the sauce kept on the side rather than mixed in. Kung Po chicken is made without cashew nuts, and some dishes come in a single long tray with rice, though sweet and sour is only offered as a full portion rather than in the tray format. The wider menu runs to salt and chilli chips and Singapore chow mein, with mixed satay also appearing, though it is not always available. Orders are taken on a walk-in basis, with no reservations. The customer area has been refurbished.

Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers praise the food as tasty and good quality, and orange chicken draws the most detailed praise, with a tangy, thick sauce and coated chicken strips served separate so the coating stays crispy. Close behind, reviewers name the salt and chilli chips, a Singapore chow mein described as full flavour, and a curry cooked well with quality chicken. Several call the portions great and the prices reasonable, and one says the dishes were not greasy. Others mention quick serving, a recently refurbished customer area, and a new menu one reviewer kept thinking about days later. The complaints are fewer but specific. One reviewer found the Chicken Kung Po tasteless and without cashew nuts, and says the shop answered that it does not put nuts in that dish. Another, a regular, was disappointed by the satay and called it the worst they had tried. One notes that sweet and sour is only offered as a full portion, not in the single long tray with rice.

“Shop has recently had a refurb in the customer area and it's much better now. Best orange chicken I've had. Sauce is tangy and thick, not watery like others. Chicken is also not the same as Maryland, but coated strips that are served separate from the sauce which keeps the coating crispy, much better! Offer some dishes in a single long tray but not all. Sweet and sour for instance is not available with rice in a long tray so full portions only.”
