Ming’s Garden

Ming’s has been a family staple since the mid 90’s. I can’t get enough Crab Ragoon or anything with broccoli! The family that owns the restaurant are always pleasant.
Although they have a nice buffet, I suggest ordering from the menu. The menu food has a much better taste and flavor.

I have been going to Mings since they first opened and has seen many changes in the place all good changes! They do an amazing job with the food and the service! The food is good and of course usually eat way to much LOL but when it is as good as it is you can not help yourself!!!
And Ray that runs Mings now is a great person and always has a smile on his face!
My family and myself LOVES MINGS! keep up the great work

When my kids have birthdays, we ask where u want to go, they always pick Mings. it’s affordable and variety of food. we all love mings.

I would rank this among the top 5 worst things I have ever put in my mouth… and I’m kinda slutty, so…

I give it 4 stars because it is delicious, but I do feel like it could be better, comparing to some big city Chinese buffets I’ve been to.
Kudos to MING’S for adding more variety to their buffet (like cocktail shrimp!)
Pepper chicken and crab rangoon are my favorites! Oh and don’t forget their delicious white sticky rice! I never knew plain white could taste so good, until I experienced it properly made.
Definitely go check them out!

First off it’s a buffet and well buffets are not known for being awesome. Well they keep the food filled and its about average for asian. Their extremely nice and it is family owned. That makes up for anything else. There was another place in town but they were very rude and I was glad when their buffet got shut down. As far as Chinese buffets goes this is a good place. I would recommend it. I would like to see some better American fair on it for kids though.

The best service! Clean and really good food. Not a lot of unique items but all the traditional dishes are there! Great place to go! Very affordable!

I moved from Bradenton, FL to New Castle, IN about 3 years ago. I am half Chinese and half Irish, so I know what I like in a Chinese restaurant. Ming’s reminds me of some of the Chinese buffets I have eaten at in Florida. Yes, this restaurant has some American food on the buffet for those that do not want to eat Chinese (Macaroni & Cheese, Mashed Potatoes… etc). It’s mostly American friendly food, don’t expect something like Shrimp w/​Lobster Sauce on the buffet… but they do have what you would expect: Wonton Soup, Egg Drop Soup, Egg Rolls, Crab Rangoon, General Tso’s Chicken, Pork w/​Mushroom, Fried Rice… and much more. The menu offers much more variety than the buffet. I have never been disappointed. Ordering to go is always fast and convenient, they always say it will be ready in 10 minutes. And the family that runs the restaurant is very friendly and courteous. It’s so nice to have Ming’s in our town, it really helps diversify our dinner options in this small town.

ok food, but the Peanut chicken was the stand out

This is by far the nastiest food I’ve ever had. They try to pass greasy leftovers off as «Chinese food» but in all honesty it was horrifyingly bad. I don’t recommend anyone eat here… ever. Try another Chinese place in Muncie or Indy if you want to know what real Chinese food is supposed to taste like. The Crab Rangoon is made with fake crab and nothing is freshly made, including the gallons of ice cream you have to serve yourself after every other customer has put their hands into the container. I left feeling literally sick to my stomach and will never return and I hope my review helps others avoid this stink-​hole too. I can’t imagine anyone would enjoy the soggy mess they feed you unless you literally have never had Chinese anywhere outside of this small town. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve come to New Castle several times to conduct a feasibility evaluation for my company to open a branch there, and I have gotten to know many of the residents very well. It’s because of my love for the people there that I believe they deserve better than this place.

Food options in New Castle are limited if you don’t want an American chain or fast food. This makes Ming’s Garden a diamond in the rough.
I grew up with Ming’s and have fond memories of going there with large groups of friends, staying for hours as we dined on their large, affordable buffet.
Well, in recent years, the buffet has gotten even bigger (who know this was possible), but still maintained its value. If you are going to come to Ming’s garden, you must get the buffet.
Almost every time I come home to visit my family, I stop at Ming’s. I’ve even turned my husband into a fan. This is not only a welcome restaurant option for locals, but I also highly recommend it to anyone driving through New Castle. It is the perfect alternative to the typical roadside fair along SR 3.
