Ming's Noodle Bar

I was very excited to see that they have potato noodle soup on the menu! It reminds me of the Chinese Suan La Fen (酸辣粉）It’s different here, but comes with lots of veggies! I added vinegar and more hot sauce, and it tastes exactly like Suan La Fen and much healthier with the veggies. The pork belly bun is also very good! Yum!

Ming’s is definitely going on our list of places for my friends, boyfriend, and I are going to frequent! Their buns are deliciously well balanced in their flavors; we tried the noodle and pork belly one. Oh, man.. that pork belly.. amazing! The noodle bun was so fresh and the perfect texture as well. The mantou/ “bread” on the buns is soft—just as it should be! We also tried out the spicy Sichuan noodle bowl and Thai curry noodle bowl. The spicy noodle bowl’s egg noodles were texturally perfect. The veggies were crisp, fresh, and tasty. Authentic Thai flavors were found in the curry bowl! Also, the location is just neat, as it’s in a train car with indoor and outdoor seating! I’ve seen people complain about the cats, but honestly.. just ignore them if you don’t like their presence. They’re not aggressive, and they certainly won’t pounce on you or at your food. I personally grew attached to a little chunky grey one, haha.

From the minute one walks into this establishment they feel so welcomed and appreciated! The staff is friendly as well as helpful when customers are reviewing menu items. The place is small but always very clean. Also, despite having only a couple people in the kitchen and always having a number of customers to serve, they manage to get the food out fast and it's nice and hot. Everything I've tried from here has been so delicious! I especially love the Sloopy!

Noodles were excellent. The building and surrounding area is so adorable. Love the idea of the old train being converted into restaurant. Outside seating was lovely on a fresh day. Inside seating is available also. Unisex restroom. Chef 👨‍🍳 that went to CIA .. local feral cats 🐈 lounging about.. the pulled pork steamed bun is out of this world! 😻 Great job.

I had dinner here last night and fell in love with their steamed buns. They also serve a delightful selection of Chinese sodas and beers. The decoration, especially the exterior, was quite adorable. I ordered the lucky dragon noodles and will be back to try the spicy Sichuan. Truly the best spot for Chinese provincial food in San Antonio.
