Went to eat tonight at Ming's Noodle Bar. I've had their food at the farmers market and to go. This was my favorite experience. The place was comfortable and intimate. The food tonight was exceptional ! Ordered Sloopy Bun, Pork Belly Buns started off the dinner just right. Flavors were delightful , a nice balance of meat and vegetables. For the main entrees, we ordered the Lucky Dragon, Ma-La Noodle, Vietnamese Rice Noodle bowl. We all shared from each bowl which was fun and didn't limit ourselves to just one item ( which is something I always recommend doing, because I can never decide on just one thing) The Ma-la Noodle was so good and ultimately the bowl I scooted in front of me most of the time.).
Ming's Thing is what San Antonio has needed for a long time. You leaving feeling satisfied and happy. If you are bored with the every day menus of other Asian restaurants, you need to visit this place.
It's food that you really can't find any else.
I loved it so much that when I go to San Antonio I look for them. It's definitely worth the 4 hour trip to eat their food. The summertime noodles and pork belly steam bun are to die for. Loved it!!!
Great selection and very fresh food. I was a little unsure about what a "steamed bun" was, but I was pleasantly surprised. I tried the pizza bun, and it was delicious. The seaweed & cucumber salad was made with super fresh ingredients. Plus, they support Texas Public Radio, so they must be good.

Had a blast at Ming’s, the go-to spot for fantastic Asian eats. Tried their killer pork, chicken, and tofu buns – each a flavor bomb! Talk about presentation – these buns were like edible art. The chill vibes and mix of old-school and modern feels in the place set the tone. Oh, and don't even get me started on the chicken bowls – they’re so good! It's a vibe! 🍜🥢
First time dining here. Our waiter, Isaac, was very helpful in describing the different options they offer in steamed buns. We ordered his recommendation, which was the Bulgogi bun. That was absolutely the best one I've tasted. The Sriracha mayo gave it just the right amount of kick. I ordered the Miso Ma La egg noodle hot soup with smoked pork belly at a level 4 spicy level. OMG! It was nice and hot, fresh veggies, and the pork belly balanced out the flavors perfectly.
My son ordered the Sichuan Noodles, which is a cold noodle dish. He absolutely loved it. Everything was fresh and very flavorful.
Definitely a must return.
Ming’s is a hidden gem. The food was on point. The buns was soft and the toppings fresh and savory. We wanted something light and this hit the spot. Food came out fast.
Cute little place. Ok prices, but the portions of the rice bowls and fries are huge. Def. has a Deep Ellum vibe to it. I ordered the island tea, hoping for something similar to plantation tea from Hawai'i - it wasn't. Not a lot of flavour, and no sweetness to it at all, despite the dragon fruit chunks. We ordered the loaded fries, shared the beef bulgogi rice bowl and my partner had the bulgogi bun.
Bathroom was ok - the non-handicap stall has NO WAY to lock, so that was a bit startling. The other stall wasn't clean, so I took my chances. The toilets don't flush well - there's no water pressure.
The kitchen seemed clean, what I could see of it and the staff was courteous.
Bao buns here are delicious. The Mala Tofu is hands down my favorite. They have great cocktails too!
The service was really awesome here!
Very friendly staff.
✨ If you’re looking for Bao buns that are packed with flavor, this is the place to check out if you’re in the area!:)
My bf and I got the Bulgogi and pork Bao buns and they did not disappoint!
Ramen was okay. Would recommend looking somewhere else if you’re specifically wanting to satisfy a ramen craving.
I really enjoyed the food here. If you like authentic Asian food visit Ming's. Everything was fresh and delicious. I had the Balgogi rice bowl. It was awesome. My friend had one of the Buns, he loved it. And we shared Ming's wings. The wings were meaty and delicious spicy favor.
Really a great place to eat.
Their buns were soooo good! Their crunchy teriyaki chicken might not be the best I’ve ever had, but they’re still good to eat. Definitely go-to place to eat with groups or to have romantic dinner
First time here, This place is awesome the food was so delicious, and everyone is friendly and helpful. Place is clean lovely atmosphere.
