The food at ming toy always hits. Their egg rolls are always solid and most things on the menu taste great. Personal favorites are the Hong Sue Pork and the Beef and Broccoli.

Delicious Chinese food. Good size portions. Wish it wasn't cash only payments. We begin going here for decades and the food quality is always delicious.

One of Waukegans tried and true Chinese restaurants. Don't let the looks deceive you. Great fried rice and egg-rolls. Cash only

Ming Toy has been a staple in the area for over 40 years! Thank goodness my husband introduced Ming Toy and I 14 years ago. It has been a delicious relationship since! Their food is some of the best Asian food around. We drive in from Wisconsin as the food is unparalleled! We had the shrimp egg foo young and the pepper steak and tomatoes. Consistently delicious! Bring cash, no cards accepted.

Best Chinese place in the north suburbs. Take out only, no seating, no bathroom and the place is cash only. Family has run this spot forever (i've been going here for 40 years now) and the food is consistently great. Highlight are the Egg rolls, cooked with peanut butter which gives it just a little extra love. I'd recommend ordering them crispy. You will not be disappointed in anything from here, really. It's literally the last of the old school Chinese spots in the area.

5/5

long time favorite place with the best cantonese food around - my favs are the combination egg rolls and you have to ask for the sweet and sour sauce its the best of both worlds. Other favs include shrimp fried rice, shrimp lobster sauce and shrimp hong sue. They are family owned, friendly and prompt. This is cash and take out only. I always add this to my list of places to visit when in town!

Love Ming Toys egg rolls . They taste the way I expect them to taste. I have never eaten inside They are an extremely busy place. The food is very hot and stays hot for my 20 minute drive home. They are a cash only place. I can't talk about the Ambiance since I never sat down to eat. The Rangoon's and soup are great too I usually order fried rice any type for an entree. Wish they had dumplings
