Ming Wah in Weymouth and Portland - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Dine in experience for five people. We arrived just after opening we were greated by a nice waiter , we were asked if we booked but hadn't , this wasn't a problem and we were shown to a suitable table. The atmosphere is nice , basic decor but that's not why we were there. Service is great , there were about 12 people including us so no reason to be neglected. The menu is huge , so so many choices but we all stuck to the dish combo we wanted. The set menus themselves are fantastic value if you go down that route with lots of dishes on each set All of us were happy with our meals , portions are good , I've had way less at the same cost in other places near me. Having seen the negatives about takeaway I can say the dine in was great , our food was tasty . The bill broke down to around £20 each for two main and side dishes with drinks but going back , those set menus offer more for really only a little extra We didn't eat pudding but certainly enjoyed our mains . These is a lot of choice on the menu so definitely something for everyone

Im surprised the place is still open the food is vile and the staff awful! Stay away from the crispy duck pancakes. Pancakes so dry that you can write your name on them, dry chicken also horrible chicken too.

We went for an evening meal and the food was superb, staff and owner lovely. Service was quick.We will definately be coming back.

I have been coming here for over fifteen years as part of our family holiday. My old review of this place was 5* as it was brilliant. Our most recent visit has meant we probably wouldn’t return. Food: The food to be fair is still really tasty but it’s about 80% vegetable to meat ratio in any entree. They have gotten very stingy with their portions overall. I really enjoyed my meal but shrinkflation has meant it isn’t as filling as it used to be. Service: We had the set meals along with some additional dishes. Time between courses was really long and then when the mains were served there was ten minutes between the mains and the rice being served which just meant our food got cold. You don’t mind prices going up - that’s the way of the world - but it really does feel stingy now. It all just feels quite chaotic and not an enjoyable experience at all.

Atrocious spring roll chewy thick pastry couldn't find the meat chips dry as hell extremely disappointed with the food shall not be calling back again

Booked a table for 2 at 7.30 get there to find it closed after confirmation email on Saturday don't waste your time booking if they can not contact you to say it will be closed

Your website booking form says you are open along with Google……. However you are shut - very disappointing as booking complete for my daughter’s birthday as it’s her favourite restaurant! Will never come here again - what a joke!

Booked a table for 4 people at 6pm today - probably the worst I have ever made in the last 40 years of dining out!!! I won’t bang on about how dirty the place was and even wires hanging down in the entrance with? So let’s talk about the food and service. 1/ No diet soft drinks at all? 2/ order was delivered I correct 3/ my wife’s order didn’t even turn up 4/ two of the dishes must have been reheated or cooked previously… 5/ asked to speak to a manager only to get the reply - THE MANAGER ISNT HERE- (what on a Saturday evening????? 6/ The final bill was wrong as it included my wife’s order that she never received? 7/ No good will gesture even though the service was rubbish and the food - well - let’s not even go there because I’m not able to give a MINUS TEN! Lastly if you are reading this and think I’m just another moaner then think again as in the last 40 years this is only the second time I have ever complained about a restaurant. Do yourself a favour and give this place a very wide berth… They should be ashamed…

As always a fabulous meal was had by all, the service was first class. The food always comes to the table piping hot. The friendly staff are are a joy to be served by.

What a lovely Chinese to discover whilst on a holiday here. Very tasty food and friendly staff. I wish i lived closer to this restaurant. I would also say I’m fussy with Chinese and I’m hard to impress, but this place is wonderful. loved this restaurant.

I ordered the beef plate and wonton soup, and it was the worst meal I’ve ever had. The beef was chewy and seemed like it had been cooked separately from the sauce, which was just added at the end. The wontons were inedible, very solid and tough. To make matters worse, they refused to refund the plate because I had eaten two pieces of the beef. I wouldn’t recommend this place.

Ordered on just eat £30 worth of Chinese, we normal always order here but haven’t for around 5-6months it’s usually absolutely delicious and worth the money. This time it was completely different the quality was completely lacking, we got salt and chilli chips to discover the chips actually had sugar all on them 😂 beef was insanely chewy and the chow main had a whole spring onion in, the food was also cold. Really disappointed as I know this is a local business but don’t raise the prices and then lower the quality.

Very friendly staff and also able to have a laugh with them

Ribs were so dry overcooked and chewy I couldn’t eat them. Egg fried rice very bland more like plain rice. Kung Po chicken was quite good though.

Food was mostlt lovely, but the spare ribs were a little tough.

Walked in without booking and a table was made ready for us straight away. The food we ordered was quickly out and was fantastic. Highly recommended. Can't wait to visit again.

Wasn’t good at All chicken was dry a chewy bbq ribs were over cooked a dry crispy beef was chewy a soggy.this is the second time I’ve ordered from here an it’s not good .when I’ve eaten in the restaurant it’s been lovely ..will never order take away from here ever again.

Friendly service. Delicious food.

Thankyou for a very tasty meal,

food was excellent. disappointed with the delay

great quality foood, just wish they'd peal the carots a little more, other than super yummy!

Lovely food, the staff are very friendly and helpful, we will be back

I ordered a takeaway for my mum and I when I visited her in a nursing home. The food was hot. sadly that was the only redeeming feature. The BBQ ribs tasted weirdly of sweet and sour sauce, the beef in both the beef chow mein and the house special noodles was tough, and the chicken was processed. Flavours were nondescript. I will never get a take away here again.

Disappointing quality- overcooked meat

carrots need a bit more peeling, otherwise very good, thank you!

Had some good experiences eating in 2 months ago. Tried it for the 2nd time for takeaway. It was pretty bad and you can clearly tell it’s not the same quality. Meat didn’t taste fresh. Beef was super chewy and chicken was hard. I’ve had many Chinese takeaways and don’t tend to have high expectations, but this is surely not some of my likings.

The spare ribs are in inedible, pancake rolls disgusting, chow mein old probably from the day before, never again, would not recommend this place

Food was great seconds time I’ve ordered food from here and was missing a item.

Best Chinese food that I have found in the UK with great service and hospitality.

Ist time here and had a lovely meal with friends, service was great very fast bringing our food out, really friendly staff.Chef had time for a chat too which was nice. Recommend the veg noodles. Would definitely visit again.

Delivery much earlier than the expected time. Spare ribs overcooked, everything else was ok

Not recommended for vegetarians .. If you are a vegetarian please don't go there as there are no vegetarian options in the menu.

Lovely staff. Great food Excellent service

This is an online order. Terrible noodles, too much oil, no flavour, no taste, COLD as it was just taken out of a refrigerator. worst pineapple fritters I have had the misfortune to eat! not sure if it was really pineapple or something else instead. the oil in both items combined will suffice an entire household for a week. ended up with a bad stomach next morning. Am I surprised? nope. and you shouldn't be if this happens with you. remember folks you first heard it from here. never ordering again from Ming "Wah"tever.

All the food we ordered was nice enough but the Beef Curry was way to peppery to the point we could not eat it and ended up binning it all. such a shame as we were looking g forward to it.

More like an Indian curry with only a few bits of chicken with lifeless soggy oily french fries😝 ordered more but have just thrown them away. Never again. And expensive too. Go figure!

Very clean, pleasant staff, food good. All done well, but brought 1 dish out at a time, so had rice on table for 10 minutes then my wife's dish came out, 15 minutes later my dish came out, so the rice was cold for me to eat. The but a 10% service charge on my bill without asking me, I told them to remove it. I told them that the service was not worth the £4.80 for cold rice and we could not eat together.

Had a lovely meal enjoyed ourselves

We always come here when we visit Weymouth. May is the best, always ready with a warm welcome, all the staff are lovely. Can't wait to come again!! 9h and the food.and saki is wonderful!!

Very nice meal tonight. And very generous portion sizes. Will definitely be visiting again.

Excellent food as always! Best Chinese in Weymouth

Beautiful food and would go again

Food was excellent! Really nice place and the staff were great! Would 100% recommend and will be going there again

The food is nice. The staff are friendly. This seems a very popular restaurant with a very cozy atmosphere. My only complaint was the service was extremely slow.

really happy that food was delivered early, food really good 👍 😋

Food was very good. Service was hit and miss especially when there were many take away and Just Eat Orders.

Called on spec ...lovely young waiter fitted us in and sorted a table ...friendly and efficient ...Nice selection of people in restaurant ..Good vibes ...food and plates piping hot...Great portions...super

Always great friendly and fab food and drink. Queenie works so hard , and greets everyone as friends. best resturant in weymouth.

Lovely food and great service. Would return when visiting Weymouth.

Beautifully presented food, all excellent and the service was fantastic, friendly and efficient. We really enjoyed our visit and will be back again soon. The homemade spring rolls in particular were amazing. Also fantastic to see several vegan dishes.

Would not recommend I had an online order food came pretty quick but was dissatisfied with the food chips were under cooked and hard got hardly any pork the sauce pots were only half full and the crispy squid was really tough will not be ordering from here again

Delicious food friendly service with a wide selection of choice

A busy Chinese restaurant, with plenty of takeaway orders going out. Food delicious and service great! Would recommend!

Excellent friendly service lovley people and great food and lovley drinks will be going again 👌 happy new year to ming way

It’s popular. Food was OK, service was OK. The restaurant is functional but not particularly attractive. Not the best but decent enough.

No atmosphere. Large portions but all rather bland. Quick service.

Always a pleasure to eat at the Ming Wah. Food, service and ambiance is excellent.

I visited your establishment last night for a meal with my. The restaurant was not busy only my family + another table. We placed our order and I was the first person the waitress discussed my particular order in detail to ensure it was correct, she also took everyones order and repeated it all back to us. This is standard practice. I know the meal I ordered is served on a skillet I know it takes preparation and I was happy to wait. I pointed out to a member of staff that my food hadn’t arrived. The waiter said ok we will remove from the bill the meal you didn’t have. I understand that Mistakes happen, But it is more important how these things are dealt with. I thought that smiling at me and only offering to take off the thing I didn’t eat was not good enough as by this point the meal was already ruined.

Visited this establishment and not quite sure why it is so popular..... It is fine, service is good food is quite good but nothing exeptional.

Delivery’s are prompt , excellent food always

My husband and i went for the set menu for two. The starters were nice but the mains were poor and bland. Very expensive for what we got. Staff were friendly but got our drinks order wrong. Would not revisit this restaurant.

Sadly not good. Had a meal there tonight for 3, my schezwan pork was ok but chips were totally inedible, overcooked to the point it was hard to even take a bite so left them, chicken balls were booker ones NOT home made and just bland, coke was watery. We brought it up with the waiter who said it was fine, so didn't want to complain further, the left overs we asked to take home just because we didn't want to be questioned but sadly went in the bin outside Staff are generally friendly but I'm paying for food and it's not cheap by any stretch. First time here and sadly the last, simply because the food was just so bad. This was advertised as weymouths premium chinese, it's anything but permium!!! Authentic Chinese restaurants should have awesome food, someone in the kitchen simply doesn't care and had lost the reason to be a chef. Very sad.

Despite the response to my my previous post I can assure folk that their website said open when in fact they were closed. Obviously changed the website after my aborted visit.

Booked online but on arrival they knew nothing of our booking as their was a ‘problem with the booking system’. If you know there’s a problem turn it off. We were told to come back after 30 mins as a table would be available, returned after 45 mins just as jam packed with no table anywhere close to being available. Very poor customer service

Three of us went there on Thursday evening The staff were very friendly However the food was the worst I’ve ever eaten. When the bill came they had added a service charge as well We were stopping in a holiday home wish I’d read the book on the table It said the worst place to eat in Weymouth Also it’s the most expensive I’ve been in

The order had missing items 2xlarge egg fried rice , when I called they told me to call back and hung up on me , very poor customer service will never use again , the order was over £ 60 would not recommend

Went for chinese looking forward but honestly not that good had been informed not to go but took a chance curry sauce never seen anything so dark food not brilliant and then a big service charge stuck on the bill don’t go for the yuk sum also .

The food was lovely and staff attentive but I still found the price a little above expected

We prebooked 6 weeks before our reservation and on the night were told that the booking system hadn’t been working for a while. We were sent away and told they’d have a table at 8 and they’d ring us - they didn’t. We returned at 8:30 to which they said a table were just leaving but there was no sign of any table leaving at all. Very poor service, no apology, this isn’t acceptable. Turn your booking system off if you know it’s not working!!! We shan’t be coming back

My sister booked for six of us to have dinner on Saturday the 4th November 2023 the table was booked for 6.30 We travelled down from London for a special birthday She booked online over a week ago she received confirmation and on the day before, and received a reminder We arrived to find no booking in her name. We were then told it was an automated service!! How rediculous We complained and was told they could squeeze us into a smaller table but we would have to wait for someone to leave, when you sit at a restaurant you want to be comfortable not squashed in. There were other tables made up, for parties of 12 but we were told we couldn’t have one as they were booked already!!! Well so was we Absolutely disgusting

Absolutely superb. Food is incredible, service fantastic. Portion sizes generous. Would thoroughly recommend.

Great food, great service. Really enjoyed our evening. Highly recommend this restaurant. Good value for money.

Nice decor, big portions of food at very reasonable prices. All in all a great night out.

Ordered online but my order was late and missing a dish, so far spent 30 minutes trying to contact them to try and sort this but so far they are ignoring my calls.

Now I can’t speak for the sit in restaurant food , but if it’s cooked by the same people for the take away food then I will never eat in there , the prawn balls had like a grey stodgy inside to the batter, the Singapore fried rice was more like boiled and stodgy, the chips had no life to them . My wife’s chicken fried rice had no flavour at all. On the plus side the prawn crackers were good at least there was no hairs on them as the rice did . It’s a shame to pay £30+ for crackers as that’s all we really ate . If this is the best Chinese restaurant in Weymouth we will be happy to go to any of the other ones in future.

Food was delivered hot and very tasty. All lovely and fresh. Would definitely order from these again. Food ordered was King Prawn chow mein... mushroom chow mein...boiled rice ..egg fried rice.. curry sauce. All lovely.

Very good food and very fast service

Excellent restaurant, amazing customer service, very polite and smiling people. Food amazing. We went twice in 5 days of our holiday in Weymouth because we had a very 5 stars experience. We love Chinese food and we tried many different restaurants, but Ming Wah is the best. Even the price of food is good, the portions are big and the service is great. I really recommend it.

Was recommended this restaurant by a friend. Only a small place so would recommend booking. Great selection of meals. Reasonably priced. Food was excellent

The services was very nice and we definitely enjoyed our evening however had divided opinions about the food between me and my partner. I personally mostly enjoyed the meal. The special fried rice and Singapore noodles had plenty of meat. My sechuan beef was very sweet rather than spicy however and the salt and chilli squid was very heavy in batter and oil. All in all, I know what I'd have in the future and would definitely be back.

Very delicious. Very good service. Big potion. Very happy felling with ming Wah restaurant 💖

Food was exceptional however very poor service throughout. Mains arrived before Starters, hot plates cold by time food served and rice arrived 10 minutes before other dishes so again cold. Service throughout poor and had to eventually take bill to till else I'd still be there. Noting the quality of the food, overall a disappointing experience overall.

We had an evening meal starters first Which could of been a mistake really. As the they tasted great but filled us up before mains. I had the old favourite chicken curry and boiled rice and my partner had chicken fried rice. Really nice and plenty of it. Overall staff were friendly and polite. Food was delicious.

Popped in for a table on the off chance while on holiday in Weymouth, squeezed us in (busy even at 6.30 on a Tuesday) and glad they did. Really good food which came super quick (helped due to the delivery orders so quick turnaround), but didn’t feel rushed. Singapore rice great, really like the Ming Wag special in black bean sauce. Not a bad price, £20 per head plus drinks for a lot of food. Recommended

Holidaying in the area & decided on delivery service for our last night - staff were great from initial telephone call, answering our questions & delivery. We had a selection of dishes & all were superb! Would definitely recommend to family & friends 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Great food, and more than enough, excellent service also, definitely worth trying

Lovely food great atmosphere would definitely come back

Lucky to get a table because we had booked in advance another day but wanted in the end to go on spare of moment. Drinks bit extortionate but ok. Food came out, generous portions, we couldn't finish it! Like how it was laid out on table, it was like encouraging to share with each other if we wanted. Friendly staff, especially as a neighbouring table were making life hard because they really ordered more food than needed and there really wasn't enough room on table. Not happy though that a service charge was included without permission for a party of just two, however let's call it a generous tip instead!

Went for our 25th Wedding Anniversary, food and service was fantastic. This is was sixth visit over the past years holidaying in Weymouth, never disappoints. Stef & Ruth Slade

If you visit do not sit by the front door, we had people nearly sitting on our laps, people who had ordered takeaway. Food was very nice though.

Staff very nice, attentive, friendly. Food a bit hit and miss. Ribs good, chicken satay awful, dry freezer food. Salt pepper prawns heavy batter from the freezer. Sizzling scallops terrible, 8 tiny dry scallops with not a sign of a sizzle with some nice veg. £15 for nice veg? All the veg was Cooked really well with some nice sauces but none of the seafood was fresh, it was ok but inconsistent and expensive for what it was.

This Chinese wasn’t all it was made out to be. 1st the whole order wasn’t correct. 2nd their egg fried rice with chicken was 🥵 I told them I had tolerances and just ignored what they were told. 3, the staff weren’t helpful and were rude. What happened to ‘the customers always right?’ Would never recommend this place to anyone.

I had king prawn in garlic and chilli sauce (spicy) Very disappointed, nearly all carrots in sweet and sour sauce

Great food at reasonable prices. Pretty fast service too. We arrived without pre-booking, and they fitted us in. Waiters were friendly, and it was a lovely atmosphere.

Another great meal at Ming Wah. A busy Saturday evening with every table filled. The staff do a great job of keeping the food coming even when it's packed and an endless amount of takeaways are despatched. If it's busy, be patient, it's worth the...

Generally fine food, well presented, a little pricey. We over-ordered on the rice by a long way. It would have been nice if the waiter had indicated this at the time of ordering. The satay sauce was tasty and slightly spicy, some of the best satay I’ve had. My egg fried rice was a little too sticky but still tasty. The ginger sauce with my chicken lacked flavour and punch. The restaurant had nice decor too. Unfortunately we were sitting near to a big pile of Just Eat boxes which maybe could have been kept at the back somewhere out of sight. The staff were friendly and made us feel welcome.

Went for a 60th birthday meal on holiday. As a keen chinese food fan i have to say it was fantastic! the best spring rolls ever! service was also very good! A good reason for going back to weymouth!

Had booked for dinner with family and service and experience was brilliant. Nice atmosphere and the food was simply amazing no take away all got eaten but we were all stuffed 😔. Hats off to the chef and service team! Thank you 😊

Nice experience at the Mingwah where the atmosphere and service was very good. Food was also nice as had the set menu. Highly recommend the chicken satay because the sauce is so flavoursome. Nearly everything cooked perfect. Recommend visiting here and would go again.

Food was really good, with plenty of vegetarian options and really fast service, despite it being Saturday night and them being really busy
