Ever since I can remember I have always remembered this Chinese restaurant. Located in Bellflower Ca not too far from my grandma's house ( the home I live in now). I spent a lot of my time at Grandma's as a child ..she was my regular sitter as a child when my parents would go to concerts and festivals. I remember she always had Chinese take out and it was always from Ming's. As a matter of fact I think I recall my father saying she been eating Ming's forever. I remember also driving by Ming's alot. There was a old thrift store we used to go to as a kid and a old dairy drive thru that used to be next door as well.( gotta love old Bellflower..mecca for mid century buildings and restaurant and business..now mid century ghost town practically)
To say the least this is a familiar image of my whole life was this old restaurant and I have been dying to go for ever and finally I went this past weekend.
I always was just a tad afraid to eat here cause I remember as a kid one of my dad's old hippie burn out friends was talking about how he was trash digging here and found a bunch of cat furs in the dumpsters and was trying to convince us that they were serving cat...As adult I git wise and realized that it was probably rabbit pelts since I fine a lot of Fine dining restaurants will serve rabbit.
Full of orange vinyl booths and horseshoe booths

I've been to MING's one time and it's cool inside i have to agree. They give lot's of food! But yeah I remember as a kid some rumors about that restaurant. Maybe you told me about them? Hahahaa!
We used to go there to - the food is authentic tasting and we found you go one time and the dish was great and the next time the same dish wasn't exactly the same. We did enjoy it and John always told me the same stories about your grandmother!
Looks great!
