Ming Garden

What people say, in short
Ming Garden in Ravindrapuri is recommended for vegetarian Chinese food, but opinions are divided. Two diners single out crispy babycorn and hakka noodles, and the sizzling brownie also receives praise. Several diners describe declining quality; one finds the food oily and bland. A returning customer disagrees and still enjoys dining there, so the evidence does not support an unqualified recommendation.
