Ming Ii - Morristown

We ordered the eggplant stuffed with paneer in Hoisin sauce, which arrived on a sizzling plate—it was delectable, and the portions were generous. However, the chili garlic fried rice was a bit disappointing; I would rate it a 3 out of 5 as it lacked the flavor and spice I was expecting. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and am thrilled to have discovered another pan-Asian restaurant in the area. I will definitely recommend it and plan to return.

I absolutely loved the atmosphere, food, and drinks at this restaurant! Everything we ordered was delicious. The highlight for me was the bar area, where we waited for our table to be ready. It's set apart from the main dining area and has a charming speakeasy vibe. The spicy chili margarita was outstanding! Plus, we even had leftovers to take home!

Once you exit the elevators, turn left (I mention this because it can be a bit confusing). You'll arrive at a lobby/host area that serves both Ming II and Mehndi. If you're interested in traditional Indian cuisine, head to Mehndi; for Indo-Chinese, go to Ming II. We arrived about 15 minutes early for our reservation, but they graciously seated us. The interior of the restaurant was lovely, featuring high wood-planked ceilings that made it feel quite unique. For appetizers, we ordered the Veg Spring Rolls, which were nicely filled and not greasy—three came on a plate, although they were oddly cut in half. The Golden Fried Mushrooms were perfectly battered, with a slight crispiness and coated in a delicious tangy red sauce. These were a hit, and even our son enjoyed them since they weren't spicy. For our main dishes, we tried the Chili Paneer, which was essentially paneer served in a soup. While the gravy was flavorful, we had expected the traditional fried paneer tossed in sauce rather than floating in it. The Sesame Tofu surprised us by not being sweet like typical Chinese restaurant fare, but it was also soupy, and the silken tofu cubes had a poor texture, despite the flavor being commendable. We also ordered veg fried rice, which was decent—nothing special, but consistent with what we expected. There was a notable delay between our appetizers and mains, and our waiter was proactive in apologizing for this, even offering a complimentary dessert for our son to make up for the wait. The ambiance and decor were delightful, and while the food showed potential, I would recommend being lighter with the sauces and opting for firmer tofu in those dishes. Overall, I would rate this experience a solid 3.5 instead of a 3.

This is one of the fav restaurants for Indo Chinese. We were here last night celebrating some life events. Weekday so we got the table easily. Settled ourselves and ordered Drums of heaven People like us, missing Indian chicken lollypop, this is the closest you can get. Chili Garlic Noodles Chili Garlic Rice Hakka Noodles All three items in chicken. Well prepared (but a bit oily) that's fine though. The portion is more than sufficient for one person. Service ambience, it's all top notch. They increased their price, but I guess that's the case with everyone. Note: Parking ticket Don't forget to validate from reception. Parking is free.

Fancy asian food with fancy prices. Too expensive for okay food if you ask me. Nothing was bad...but nothing really impressed us either. Drums of Heaven was pretty good, good sauce. Asian calamari was weird. We got 3-4 diff entrees like chili chicken, kung po chicken etc but honestly the sauces all tasted very similiar to tell which was which. The food was whatever but the drinks were bomb though I must say! I got the lychee martini...twice! They have a whole book of cocktails which is great for variety but hard to pick. My husband got some apple bourbon drink which he also really liked. We made a reservation but we still ended up waiting for a while. The nice thing is that they have a sister bar (and a sister indian restaurant) in the same area so you can grab a drink while you wait. The service was fine, you can tell theyre busy but still managed to get to us at a reasonable time. Very dim lighting..sometimes its nice for the ambience but it was way too dark in here this time. Return? unfortunately not Recommend? for the drinks yes
