i came home after a long time and wanted to take my parents out for a scrumptious lunch which is quite difficult in vizag considering that most of the restaurants in vizag seem normal after eating out a lot in bangalore, mumbai, hyderabad and other foodie famous cities. but i decided to try out ming garden considering that my parents never had proper chinese anywhere since they just assume its street food noodles with lot of soya sauce.
we ordered a crab soup and shanghai chicken starters. we also ordered butter chilli lobster which they explained was semi gravy and good with the chicken fried rice we ordered. we also had mocktails, one with peach and another a fruit punch. we wanted to finish the meal with a dessert - dragon roll. the crab soup was absolutely lovely and even my parents adored it. the lobster we got had a huge quantity which i dint expect considering my previous experience at other restaurants and it was cooked decently. the fried rice was regular, cooked well enough. the shanghai chicken dint really stand out though. the dessert was really different and tasty - a dragon roll was a dessert in which a sponge cake enveloped vanilla ice cream and it had chocolate sauce and some nuts sprinkled on top. it was really good.
the service was decent. the ambiance was good considering that you can view the beach from your table. regular chinese chandeliers and decorations. overall, it is definitely worth a visit again.
