We had such a lovely meal last night, our first time eating a Chinese completely vegan and Ming did not disappoint! He always cooks everything so beautifully and fresh, piping hot and delicious. Our only thing to say is that we would have liked more of the sauce in our main dishes as they were divine! We will ask next time! The chocolate pot was heavenly, so indulgent! We will be back again, thank you!

An absolutely incredible place to dine. The food was so incredible, hot, spicy and freshly made.
Including the best prawn toast I've had in my life!
The staff were very attentive and really cared if we enjoyed the food and if everything was okay.
There was even a glimpse of Ming himself when he came to see if our food was okay!

Just a beautiful meal overall.

This is the first time we have been to Mings. We think we met the Chef/Mr Ming? Should of asked his name. Mr Ming was so friendly & was chatting to us like he'd known us for years. I have Coeliac Disease so have to have a gluten Free diet. On their menu it was marked gf which was fab. The food was divine. We certainly will be going back there again.

Authentic and tasty Chinese food, this small independent restaurant is the best in Bury St Edmunds. Ming's (owner) serves his guests himself and is very attentive and accommodating. Very reasonable prices for generous portions of food. Five stars.

Heard nothing but rave reviews before trying it out. The actual experience is definitely a 3 star for food and 4 star for service. The Szechaun Mince Pork was absolutely inedible, way too much salt. The dim sum fell flat on flavor and tasted more like boiled lumps of wet dough. My Singapore Spicy rice noodles was decent, however the prawns were extremely small and no flavor in the dish at all. Wine and service were top notch I will say. Table with 2 mains, 3 starters and bottle of wine with gratuity ran £65.

Good meal, everything was tasty and well cooked.
The squid starter was our favourite.
The staff were very accommodating as we advised them we only had an hour as we were off to the cinema. We managed our two course within the hour almost to the minute from sitting down to leaving, which was much appreciated.

Upon entering it feels like you shouldn't really be there. The waiting staff weren't welcoming and the atmosphere is cold.

We were sat right next to the door upstairs which meant we were constantly being hit with cold air and foot traffic. The table was very wobbly and the chairs were uncomfortable.
Downstairs is much nicer from what I remember!

Several tables sat down after us, but were served before us. We were never asked if we wanted more drinks or if the food was ok. It was very difficult to get the attention of the waiting staff for anything.

The squid portion was incredibly small but everything tasted great. The food is excellent overall.

There was a long wait for our mains - around 30 minutes.

Glad we tried it but there is better in Bury.
