    I must say... Ming Tree Cafe is good! Quite good, even. I wish my Sinogastrometer (I just made that up, but etymologically, I think it works - right?) were as finely tuned as my pizzometer, because I'd be able to give a clear-cut rank order of the Chinese restaurants in Tallahassee. I will say this. 1. There is no better Chinese fare in Tallahassee. 2. This restaurant surpasses all of the buffet-type Chinese places - except one: China delight on Tennessee. Perhaps it's nostalgia - but I like China delight very much - as much as this. Service here was impeccable and delivered with genuine smiles and warmth. I told Alice that Cecil S. sent his regards and she was happy about that. It appears to be a team effort concerning running and bussing - and everything went without a hitch. The hot tea was great - with fresh tea leaves steeping. Wife was having birthday-eve dinner at kool beanz with girlfriends so this was just the kids and me - so ordering may appear somewhat pedestrian: On recommendation, I went with the pork & pickled cabbage. Outstanding. Then, we had sweet/sour chicken, bean curd and special mushrooms, and vegetable fried rice to complete the table. All ingredients tasted great and dishes were delivered swiftly and pipping hot. I'm a believer. Oh - and this IS all because of the many positive reviews of the Ming tree. I would never have driven all the way here for dinner. But for Chinese, I will in the future!

    I had followed Ms. Alice's Chinese restaurants years back from North China Gourmet on Timberlane Rd to China Delight on N. Tennessee St. As I moved away from Tally and lived in TX for the past 6-7 yrs, I was not able to find any Chinese joint that's comparable where I lived. Recently I moved back to the capital city. As soon as I found out her new restaurant is now Ming Tree, I came here in no time. This Chinese establishment is true neighborhood dining. It's very small but cozy. I didn't have to wait as I came on a Wednesday around 6pm. Menu is limited compared to her previous restaurants. I ordered pork with pickled cabbage and garlic eggplant. Both were very authentic and delicious. However, pork with pickled cabbage was deff my fav! Service is warm and attentive. I'm not too sure but I think the server is her son and I'm positive that her husband still runs the kitchen. Surprisingly she still remembers me. Overall, a true gem. The best part is that it's only minutes away as I live in the Killearn area. Woot woot!

    Best general Tso I think I've ever had. It's a nice family owned place with great service and for that can get quite busy. Sometimes they don't answer the phone for take-out if the restaurant is too full to give better service.

    Had another superb dinner - Bean Curd with Vegetables. The fried tofu was copious and perfectly fried. The vegetables were sautéed in a mild brown sauce. My companion had Bean Curd with Sesame Sauce. It had a nice tang!

    Wow. Just got home from eating at Ming Tree Cafe and had to write a review. Hands down, the best Chinese food I have had in many years - certainly the bet in Tallahassee. Amazing, as they cook the entrees to order, so we were able to tailor the spice level for our kids. This isn't your Sysco stocked restaurant. It doesn't taste like everywhere else. For example, the Sesame Chicken had a distinct sesame oil taste. Portion size was quite large and the prices were too reasonable for the volume of delicious food that you receive. In addition to the fantastic food, the service was warm and friendly. Obviously family owned, but they don't rest on their food - they are very kind and seem to take interest in their customer. We are so excited to be eating Chinese food in Tallahassee again!

    I've tried the Beef with Sesame Sauce, Sesame Chicken, Mongolian Beef, and Beef with Sesame Sauce and found all of them to be very good. Also, you get a lot of food for the price. The business hours on Yelp are wrong. Ming Tree's current business hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 3:00pm to 9:00pm.

    Excellent food. Definitely no MSG because I didn't even get a twitch of a headache. Fresh ingredients that you can really taste. I love it when a place makes you feel welcome. People could take lessons from the woman who gave me my food, she was so sweet and friendly.

    They customize food for you. I enjoy spicy, luckily they will use spicy on shrimp and veggies. Every time I stop it's busy but friendly. Love the ribs in black bean sauce.

    Ok. This beats Tans and that is saying something. Love the schezwan pork and the crab Rangoon. You can actually taste the crab. The Mongolian beef is wonderful and the sesame chicken is good. Great food!!

    Best Chinese food in Tallahassee. It might be the best Chinese food I've had in a few years regardless of location. The pork and pickled cabbage was AMAZING!!! The restaurant is really small and you may have a long wait. The only thing that would make this place a 5 star would be a full bar, or even beer and wine.

    This is my favorite place to get authentic Chinese food in Tallahassee. It is owned by a Taiwanese couple and their son (They used to own China Delight on Tennessee, but sold to a Chinese family a couple years ago. They are actually just helping out their son now). The food is as authentic as you can get in Tallahassee even though it is still not on the same level when compared to the best Chinese restaurants in NYC or LA. The general rule is that if you like authentic Chinese food, order from Chef's Specialties. For people who prefer more Americanized food, order from the rest of the menu.

    Great and very welcoming family-owned Chinese restaurant. We were pleasantly surprised to find this excellent place in Tallahassee on our way back to Jax. We just searched online and the Yelp reviews and decided to give it a shot, We ordered the fish fillet, egg drop soup, lo mein, and sweet and sour chicken. They were all good.I may have skipped some of the tough veggie parts included in the fillet dish but not a biggie. Price was reasonable too. We'll definitely drop by again next time we visit the our state capital

    Wait time is too long....starved for half an hour to get a table, starved for another hour to get the food....food portion is relative small comparing to other Chinese restaurant. Do NOT order sesame beef, too sweet

    The closer we got to the front door, the more we began to doubt that we were at the right place. A night, the place is so bright we thought maybe it was now a library or an AA meeting or something. We persevered, and are glad that we did. The service was top-notch, and the food was delicious and fresh-tasting. Not the most cozy place, but we'll be back!

    Best Chinese restaurant. Every dish is excellent, especially for the daily special. The space is not big enough. Every time, I have to wait for a very long time!

    The food is absolutely fantastic, and the service is like the very community oriented, small-town kind of diner service that you would expect. My friends and I ordered 8 different items on the menu (though I can't remember the names other than the Kung Po chicken), and every single item was delicious! I will certainly be going back since the food and service were so great, and the bill was definitely affordable.

    Wow. I just found my new favorite restaurant while in Tallahassee. Super fresh food, family run and some of the best food I've have had in years. Portions are ample and you can taste the pride the owners have in their product. Along with the food, try their special blend hot tea.

    A family run restaurant with very attentive and friendly service. Great food cooked to order (not a buffet). Prices are very affordable and portions are generous. I've tried several entrees and all were delicious. Wonderful egg rolls, hot and sour soup, and unusual (but delicious) crab Rangoon.

Chinese Cuisine

The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.

Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.

There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.
