Ming Wong is a famous Cantonese style restaurant serving fresh butchered meats as well as other dishes. We got a rice combo as well as butchered meat by the pound, including Siu yuk (crispy roasted pork), Cha siu, and Pai Kuat (Pork Ribs). The siu yuk was quite good, a little crispy but had a good flavor, some pieces did have a decent amount of fat but it wasn't bothersome. The cha siu had a nice glaze on it with a good flavor, and the pork ribs had a good amount of meat on them. For the price, we got a good amount and it was quick and easy to get our order.

I visited Ming Wong in New York and ordered the roasted duck and roasted pig. Flavor-wise, the food was solid — the meats were well-roasted with good texture and that classic Cantonese-style richness. The skin on both was nicely done, and you can tell they know how to handle roasted meats. That said, the seasoning leaned a bit on the salty side for my taste. What left a less positive impression was the checkout experience. When it came time to pay, the staff selected a tip amount on the screen for me, and I felt slightly rushed to sign without much explanation. It wasn’t a great feeling, especially after an otherwise enjoyable meal. Overall, the food itself is good and worth trying if you’re into traditional roasted meats. I just hope the service at the register can feel a bit more comfortable and transparent next time, as it really affects the overall experience.
