I live around the corner from Ming’s Takeaway and when they first opened I was so excited at the prospect of having Chinese cuisine at my doorstep! Unfortunately, my experience here has been somewhat short-lived. Their food is delicious and value for money. I suppose the prices reflect the target market, which are probably Birmingham University students who live in the student halls accommodation opposite. My common complaint about Chinese takeaway is the excessive salt and grease, but I didn’t have this problem here! However, I did have problems with the owners. The last time I visited, I was with my brother. He was placing an order but the owner couldn’t understand what he was saying. So were pointing at the menu and asking questions about the portion sizes. To our disbelief, we were snapped at and told that we were barred because we were apparently mocking the man! It’s a shame they lost some loyal customers over a pitiful misunderstanding.

Mings, serves a fusion of Cantonese and Thai cuisines. It is based opposite the Edgbaston Cricket Ground and within reach of Edgbaston, City Centre and all surrounding areas. It also lies adjacent to Cannon Hill Park which is one of Birmingham’s premier parks being used for a number of interesting events. I prefer restaurants’ and take away’s to serve only one style of food which adds to the authenticity and quality of the food. Ming’s serve both Thai and Cantonese, which are quite different cuisines, so it becomes confusing and each cuisine is created in half measures. Luckily the starter I ordered of Tom Yum Goong Thai soup was delicious, light, fresh and flavoursome. The aromatic crispy duck was nice even though I don’t usually eat duck, I enjoyed this. I had a duck for 7.50. All in all not a bad experience.

We’ve been using this place for years. The staff are very friendly, throw in extras for regular customers, and the service is always friendly. They can take a while(40mins) to deliver, but they are busy and we don’t live on thier doorstep. The food is never bad, it’s always perfectly edible and tasty. Very good value for money.
