New Ming's Restaurant

one of the few cheap & decent chinese/taiwanese quick eat spots in financial district/ upper east cut area. attracts both art students and, white collar and blue collar workers. They are open for Lunch and Dinner Service, where Dinner is a more a la Carte menu. They have the typical chinese-american premade deal combos, (1 item, 2 item, and 3 item combo). Steam Rice is inclusive, whereas Fried Rice, Chow Mein, or Veggie base is additional item cost. Rice Plates are freshly made, must recommend the Ma Po Tofu (Mapo Tofu), Bittermelon with choice of meat Stir-fry, Shrimp & Lobster Sauce over rice, Crispy Noodle dishes, Chinese pancakes, and XO Sauce dishes. For premade lunch items, Basil Eggplant & Tofu, Orange Chicken, Salt & Pepper Chicken, Salt & Pepper Pork are a must try.

Delicious food, friendly staff, reasonable prices. There’s a $4 charge for tea perhaps due to inflation. Tried the braised basil tofu with a side of steamed rice as well as their Singapore style rice noodles. Both dishes were very tasty and we will be coming back for more soon. Highly recommend coming here. They also have a lunch special from 10:30am-2pm.
