Not the greatest to say the least, from point of ordering to collection. On ordering the food over the phone there was a lot of background noise from the kitchen, and the girl taking the order was rude and short, demanding cash payment. On collection I saw that the order was incorrect and on pointing this out I had a struggle getting reimbursement, the assumption having been made by the proprietor that the communication errors were my fault and couldn't possibly have been theirs. Eventually I asked for my money back and received it but it was not easy, the proprietor saying that since the incorrect order had been cooked that I should pay for it. I explained that the call had been very interrupted by noise and that the girl taking the order had misunderstood me when I gave the order, and reluctantly I eventually was reimbursed. Not a good experience. The food was decent but the girl taking orders was clearly overwhelmed by the pressure of demand, background noise, and sheer weight of customers. This probably contributed to her abrupt manner but really this merely explains rather than excuses the overall customer service which was not good at all.

Two-hour wait – and not the first time! Food was okay, not spectacular. The food is okay, not the best, not the worst. But twice now we have had an excessively long wait for delivery (over two hours). The young woman phone told as the point of ordering that it would take about an hour. We phoned when an hour had passed, and she told us it would be another twenty minutes – no apology given. We phoned a second time an hour and a half after ordering, and finally got an apology from what must be the least customer-friendly young women in the world. and update that it would take another forty minutes (totalling a two-hour wait). We rang a third time after having waited two hours and ten minutes to cancel the order and book a Dominos instead - but were told it could not be cancelled because it was out for delivery! It finally arrived two hours and fifteen minutes after ordering, with a young child then very upset, hungry, and up later that ought to have been. Worse still, it was one of the kitchen staff with the red polo shirt that delivered it - not a delivery driver. Their excuse was that they had been ‘exceptionally busy’, but this has happened to us twice now at the same restaurant, and numerous times to other people. The root cause of their long wait seems (I am speculating) to be understaffing, a little like their management-led practice of only taking cash payment until the end of the financial year - when magically the card machine suddenly starts to work. Apparently that latter is a wi-fi issue and nothing to do with tax avoidance. In any case, the seem excessively profit-driven, which raises questions over the quality of the ingredients they might use. As alternatives, China Garden (also in Chellaston) is comparable in quality and they even do the cash-only thing as well (except in March obvs.) – must be a whole outcode area with wi-fi issues! There are also several Chinese restaurants in Allenton and Alvaston that deliver to Chellaston and Boulton Moor area – Imperial Dragon in Alvaston for example, are a seven-minute drive from Ming’s Court on Google Maps and are able to deliver better quality food far faster. On a very quiet midweek night, Ming’s Court might be good a option, but at the weekend or on holidays I would just avoid the place, they simply don’t have the capacity. The food is okay – it’s not spectacular, but we had nothing to complain about; it arrived warm, tasted okay, and was really just a fairly bog-standard standard ordinary Chinese restaurant meal. The reception staff (the two young women) really have no understanding of how to speak to people or basic customer service. The delivery/kitchen staff seem nice enough and take pride in their work. But the management/owners just seem to be overly greedy. The restaurant is clearly understaffed on a regular basis, which will obviously lead to more negative comments like this at the detriment of their business. All it will take is for a few competitors in Allenton or Alvaston to do a postal flyer drop, and other than passing trade (Ming’s Court does have a good location) they will most like see a massive dip in sales. Just plain greed, which is sad to see. Hire more staff and treat them fairly – it’s not hard to do.

Service was 10 out of 10 But the food was not it!! No flavour at all! The food came quick but it was like warm, the crispy shredded chicken was soggy and flavourless, chicken chow mein was bland! The sweet and sour sauce may aswell of been a pot of vinegar absolutely vile! Waste of money definitely will not be ordering again! Such a shame!

*Avoid* - My sister who is heavily pregnant was craving for a Chinese so we decided to order in. She has a nut allergy so we made it very clear when placing the order. They confirmed that will be fine. Food arrived and within 5 minutes of having the veg curry, she had a reaction. She was vomiting/feeling really unwell. I am just so disappointed that establishments don't take extra precautions when dealing with allergies. When challenging the owner, they repeatedly advised no nuts were in the dishes! Horrible experience and I will be contacting Derby City Countil/Food Standards Authority.

Ordered a takeaway to be delivered last night 21st October for 4 people. I was told 1.25 - 1.50 hours which whilst disappointing was acceptable so ordered the food. It hadn't arrived on the 2 hour mark so I rang and was told it had left the premises, it turned up after another 20 minutes and was luke-warm bordering on cold although tasty. I appreciate there were issues with flooding and road closures but our guests had arrived from further afield with no issues. This was my second delivery of food from this establishment, the previous one in July and I was very impressed with the flavours and quality, I don't have takeaway very often but I won't be ordering again as food needs to be hot and not zapped again in the microwave. Sorry this review isn't great but I have to be truthful and I was very disappointed and embarrassed.

I don't like leaving reviews for family run businesses that aren't completely positive - this is my 2nd try of this places food after a disappointing first try.. just paid £11.30 for a 3in1 (chips/rice/curry sauce) + salt and pepper chicken wings. Instead of wings I received regular chicken pieces which I can get over.. whenever I've had bad experiences with Chinese takeaways before, usually it's because it's extremely salty, I appreciate 'salt and pepper blah blah' you get what you asked for. But the 2 times I ordered from this place is the opposite, abosultely zero flavour, minimal salt and no other noticeable seasonings, very bland. Even the curry sauce which I imagine comes from a bulk bought powder form is somehow tasteless. There was visually multiple chefs working hard in the kitchen when I collected - maybe the 2 times I ordered I got an inexperienced cook? Hoping that's the case if I ever order again.

Salt and pepper chilli chips felt like they was cooked yesterday and soggy, I asked the person taking my order to put holes in the box to prevent the steam making the chips soggy, this request was completely ignored, my chilli shredded beef was not fresh and did not taste good at all, I'm pretty sure I'm never going to be ordering there again, i appreciate they may be busy on a Saturday, but that's no excuse for giving me yesterday's food re heated. I feel I wasted my money and I won't be ordering again

** BE CAREFUL ** I keep seeing mice running behind the kitchen of Mings court. I’ve witnessed it 3 times now and informed the owners yet nothing is being done about it. They’ve dismissed the matter like it’s nothing! Yet they’re fully aware of it! No consideration for customer just concerned about their pockets! I’ve stopped using Mings after I found out they re heat & serve left over food from the night before on the following day! *AVOID*

*** Avoid ***Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a food additive that enhances flavor. It is highly used at Ming's Court Chellaston and pre-packaged foods. Next day very bad belly ache and constant trips to toilet. *** Avoid *** It tastes nice because of all this addictive. It's not good for you.

Mixed feelings about this place. The food tastes great and service was good but I'm convinced I had bad guts immediately afterwards. Maybe due to too much MSG in the food? Would explain the improved taste. I don't normally have an issue with Chinese food from China Garden which is just up the road.

It was in 1979 as a 18yr old I and the youth of the day use to call into this wonderful propper café. The days of Anti pasti the punk band of derby who use to hang out on old derby Market place along with all the other people who use to call and eat or just drink the really good coffee and tea that use to be served here . I became homeless at around 20 yrs of age and every Thursday for reasons I'm still not sure of I use to always call into the Acropolis for either breakfast or a really hearty afternoon meal . It is such a shame to hear that the place has closed down. Another sad blow to derby I am sad to say . I can honestly say that the my memories of the place and the staff who worked there is one of gratefulness. The place literally kept me alive at a very dark period of my life . The food was brilliant and plentiful. Not sure if anyone who owned the place back then or who worked there back in the late 70s will read this but the Acropolis cafe saved my life . Sounds a bit odd I know but trust me to be able to have a lovely hot meal at affordable prices and a hot drink saved my life . Thank you all at Acropolis. That café has always always and will always hold a special place in my Heart 💙 . Such a loss . Thank you Barry . Xx
