Wow, I get to type the first review for Ming Lings. :)
I grew up in Gary, Indiana in Miller not too far from Ming Ling.
Like many kids who grew up in Miller, Ming Lings was the first place I ever tasted Chinese food.
I moved from Gary 24 years ago and I live in San Francisco now. I am spoiled by all the good Chinese food here in San Francisco.
I went back to Ming Lings last summer on a visit to Gary.
I am glad they haven't changed a thing since I moved away as a kid.
Everyone in town still loves Ming Lings and I can't bring myself to saying something negative about them. That would almost be as bad as saying something bad about a family member online. All I can say is that my taste has changed, A LOT!. ;)
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.
