Quick info
About Ming Garden
On Blind Lane in Sunderland, Ming Garden is a Chinese takeaway working on a walk-in basis for both pickup and delivery orders. Orders typically arrive with free spring rolls included, and sometimes crackers or chicken wings as well. The menu covers kung po chicken, curry chicken, and sweet and sour chicken alongside egg fried rice and chow mein, with salt and pepper chips and salt and pepper squid ordered often. A munch box option built largely around chips is also available. Portions run large enough that orders commonly stretch to a second meal. Customers order at the counter rather than by reservation, and delivery covers the surrounding area.

Customer Review Summary
The complaints are specific and fairly frequent. Salt and pepper chips are described as either plain or swamped by Chinese five spice, and that same aniseed flavour is said to overpower a whole order, with ribs that were mostly bone and gristle. Salt and pepper squid arrived overcooked. One order came very late with the wrong sauce and food that seemed fried repeatedly, while another arrived without the chicken in a szechuan dish and was offered a refund for that dish only. After the squid complaint, the restaurant offered a discount off the next meal.

“I ordered a take away two nights ago. Kung po chicken, curry, rice and spring rolls and crackers. It was absolutely delicious! The portions were huge and excellent value for money. The chicken was beautiful and juicy. The kung po was spicy and flavourful. We got given extra spring rolls and crackers which was kind I would definitely order again x x”

“We are quite regular to this takeaway but today we ordered a starter of salt and pepper squid with our meal. This dish was totally inedible as was so overcooked. The rest of the meal was as always great. After advising them of this we were offered a discount off our next meal. Ps pancake rolls are spot on.”

“If I could leave 0 stars I would. We've order from here since moving to the area in 2021. This order tonight was disgraceful. Firstly 90 mins late so called to chase, and was told it was dispatched. Then its nearly another 25 mins before it actually arrived. I expected it to be stone cold but was actually warm still so obviously hadn't been sent when stated. The order was incorrect (wrong sauce sent with the box) and the food seems to have been fried over and over. Even the 'free' spring rolls and chicken wings are inedible. Yes we ordered a munch box so expect fried beige food, but this was crisped through, and majority of the box was chips. Beef and garlic was overly spiced so could barely taste it. Disappointed and a repeat customer lost here. Not a cheap meal, but what a waste of money that was.”

“Ordered two meals to take away. They were ready when I arrived and were delicious. I had king prawn chop suey and my wife had chicken foo yung. There was too much for one meal so we’ll have the rest later.”
