Ming Garden New Orleans

Proximity + Flavor. This place is about three blocks from my house, which is the only reason I tried it instead of Yummy Yummy on Carrollton. YY has better reviews, but I really enjoy Ming Garden.

I'm writing this review because I've been ordering take-out from here for months, and I've seen some awful reviews for this place. I think it's important for me, as a frequent customer, to say some nice things.

Your food will be ready fast. You may not even be ready. You say to yourself, "I'm a bit peckish, I should order some Chinese." It's 6:30 and you're planning to eat at 7:00. Fool. You're a fool. You place the order, and they will tell you, "Okay, your food will be ready in 10 minutes." Now what are you going to do?! Eat early? Yes. You don't really have a choice because we all know crab rangoons don't keep well.

Speaking of crab rangoons, these here are DA BOMB (I'm bringing that back). Lyke, yes. I actually hate crab rangoons because I'm not a huge fan of cream cheese (I have a thing about ratios of cream cheese to crab to spices). My ratio is fully satisfied by Ming Garden. They get me, mane. *cries* They...understand my feelings like a brother or something. Their rangoons are also hilariously shaped, but it's quirky and I dig it.

So if you live close by and you want Chinese, just eat here. Why are you even on Urbanspoon about this? It's Chinese food. It doesn't take long to make, and it's not expensive. Worst case scenario you hate it and you blew $10. But you won't. If you do, your taste buds are bad and you should feel bad.

We decided to give it a try with a small party we were having and we were very pleased. The food is good, the people are sweet and the price was great.
