Yes I am doing an update of Ming's Noodle Cafe less than 1 week since posted my last review.
Dropped by for lunch. This place is still packed! I know it is Canada Day and I have to wait for a table. :)
I ordered the Curry Beef Brisket with rice all day special ($7.50) which includes soup and hot drink. I have to say the Beef Brisket is the best I have ate in any restaurant... Yes it is that good! The cut of the brisket has the perfect mix of fat and lean and it is so tender... they just melt in my mouth tender! And it has excellent meat flavour without the curry sauce over powering it! I just ate the whole thing.... all my myself.. and even all the rice! Even the rice is soft and hot..just the way I like it!
My friend's Pork Chop with Fresh Tomato ($6.25) though a la carte, has tons of tomatoes and so huge and fresh off the wok hot!
Yes I would definitely be back and try out the dinner dishes that starts from $5.95!Listed in: Lunch Specials in Scarborough, Cheap/Fast Date!, HK Style Restaurants in the…

I have one friend that likes this place and another friend that hates it.
I lub HK style cafe but this place is probably the worst. The service was ok and the prices are great, but the food was really bad. I have been here a few times and I'm always disappointed. Regardless, the place is always busy; so maybe it's just me?
The last time I was here, I ordered the baked Portugese chicken with rice. The sauce was 'meh', but the major problem was that under all that sauce the chicken is flavorless and the whole plate of rice becomes a platter of soggy rice with flavorless chicken. The chicken isn't even baked well enough to serve =\
If you're just want a quick bite for a low price, this place isn't too bad. But if you're craving for hk cafe food, you'll probably be disappointed.
Cheers. -

Hong Kong Cafes. It's a cultural topic in itself.
Each person has their own HK Cafe that they belong to. HK people no matter how they love to explore various Food cultures and new places, they will always have the local default Cafe(Cha Chan Teng) they call their own.
Finding your own Cafe is like finding a BFF. A casual place you feel comfortable talking bullshit at extreme decibels while enjoying smooth, hot and flavourful Milk Tea, Coffee or Yuanyang along with HK eastwest fusion style fast inexpensive meals/snacks. That's why once you find that special HK Cafe, you will stick with it too.
As for me, I'm still in search.
Weekend Special
15) Beef Tenderloin w/Mushroom Red Wine Sauce($13.99)
Took awhile to get this compared to all other Food selections my friends made. My friends were finishing their Meal when I got mine so I had to supersonic my consumption. I got the job done on a decent sized Tenderloin cooked medium as requested.Listed in: Southern Chinese Food, T

Went to Ming's and at 1:30pm on a Sunday there was still a lineup waiting for a table. They handle crowds very efficiently, so we were seated in a booth within 5 minutes. Frankly quite disappointed with this visit. Have been here before and it was OK, but this time the dumplings and noodle soup was surprisingly inferior. The shrimp filling was hard and seemingly overcooked and the broth and noodles were mediocre. My wife's Portuguese style chicken and rice was also sub-par. Milk tea was good, but not as good as what we had last week at Kam Fai 38. Service was efficient and seating was comfortable.

Pure HK style. Fast service, and they want it fast! I can eat here *almost* 3 meals a day, 5 days a week, is that good, and I've done that before!! The milk tea is the best in Toronto! Very consistent quality in all of their foods, meaning you can expect the same taste for the same dish every time, no bs like when you sometimes ask if they hired a new cook. It's amazing quality control.
Good clean stuff, I don't think I've ever got any problems after eating there. I know they use chlorine to clean their stuff!!! -

Typical HK tea cafe restaurant with a rather large number of menu items. I had the tomato sauce baked seafood rice set lunch, which included a drink (HK lemon iced tea was my pick) and a borscht soup (the HK tomatoey variety, not to be confused with the Russian borscht soup which is made with beets), for $7.95. It was ok - good but not overwhelmingly good. My aunt had the Singapore (? - looks like it was stir-fried with curry powder) kwai teow and it was pretty good - tasty but not overly oily and the texture of the kwai teow was just right: not too dry and not too overdone/soggy. I should have had the fish ball noodle soup ($3.95 for a bowl) - just a feeling that the Chinese menu items are probably better than the "western" style stuff (baked rice, pasta, etc.). The HK lemon iced tea was very good though (good tea flavor, not over sweetened, with good amount of fresh slices of lemon). This place is great for afternoon tea (light snack) and for late night bites - reliable HK food on a budget. I wouldn't mind coming back to try other items on the menu.
