Sad to see my favorite Chinese restaurant close for awhile, but glad they found a way to stay in business in that location. I look forward to dining there again when they re-open, and will try to make it over there by the 28th for one more dim sum lunch!

Why don't the restaurant owners operate Mings at a different location while construction is completed? Two years is a long time to keep a business closed.

That way, patrons might still enjoy their favorite dishes, some staff (at least) could keep their present jobs, and management would work out the kinks of downsizing, new menu, etc.

Make the temporary and rebuilt restaurants friendlier to take-out orders, too!

chicken salad sez, "Make the temporary and rebuilt restaurants friendlier to take-out orders, too!"

Chef Chu's at El Camino and San Antonio has great take-out.

If you want authentic Cantonese Food, try Hong Kong Seafood on El Camino just south of Page Mill Road. They are consistently good and have fixed price menus starting at around $40.00 that will feed 4-6 people. Most of the clientele is Chinese. Try it once and you'll continue to go back. No deference to Ming's, but they and Chef Chu cater to Caucasian tastes. Hong Kong is the real deal.

So does Su Hong in Menlo Park...

Along the same lines as Hong Kong Seafood (that is, authentic Cantonese cooking) is R&B Seafood on El Camino across from Stanford University.

Any nearby dim sum recommendations?

For non-dim sum, we also like Dah Sichaun on El Camino south of Page Mill, and Fey in Menlo Park, also on ECR. R&B Seafood (ECR, Palo Alto north of Cal Ave) is good but recommend getting there early enough before they run out of the specials.

I miss the old Hunan Gardens which was our go-to Chinese restaurant.

Love Mings and happy for Vicky and her husband for their new venture.
Although, before Google, FB LinkedIn, etc. had their facilities, those people weren't around to eat at the local restaurants anyway. I am not sure why they all claim that these companies took their customers. The employees to these companies came when the company that offers free food came...Just saying.

GURRRRR..... Sigh.... More traffic ..... now it will take even longer getting to through this intersection to get to my home.

Every year or two it is a new building.. more traffic....and longer drive...
How about driving our route every week day after the school lets out... all the way till 7pm it is clogged with stop and go.

What happened to environmental concerns regarding the valuable Marsh Land?

Oh Well...........

@Retired Teacher, the sit-down restaurant of Su Hong in Menlo Park has been closed for years; now there is only Su Hong To Go on the block behind its previous location.

Will they ever update their website? No indication of shut-down.

I used to work nearby and would sometimes get lunch since there are few other options in the area. Their food really isn't that great. And I pointed out to them several times that their "vegetarian lunch box" shouldn't contain chicken salad, but they don't seem to get it.
