As with Larry J, I grew up on Ming Ling. That said, I still love them! I cannot get enough and feel a slight pang in my heart whenever I eat Chinese food (even if it's better). They have a distinct taste that I have not found replicated. They are family owned and fantastic. Most definitely a treat compared to some of the other "Beach" restaurants on the near by streets. The fried wontons are wonderful and their fried rice is always great. Everyone should go to Ming Ling at least once. You'll be a fan as well!
That special sauce they have I used to love as a kid, well I honestly don't know what it is. The taste did bring back memories and their deep fried wantons were great.
I will still recommend that this is one of the better places to eat in Gary. If not, the only place left to eat in Gary. :)
I still prefer it over that over-priced place across the street (Miller Beach Cafe).
Glad to see Ming Lings still in business.
