Ming Jie’s House

Ming Jie’s House is a cozy, family-run Chinese restaurant located at 47 Main Street in Walden, New York, that local residents adore. The restaurant has been a fixture in the community for years, but the family feel became even more pronounced when the original owner, Rong Xia, retired and passed the business to her family. Her departure was an emotional one for longtime patrons, but everyone was thrilled to discover that the recipes remained the same—only the faces serving them changed.

While it may not be a lavish, upscale dining experience, Ming Jie’s has a quiet charm and is known for its delicious food, generous portions, and reasonable prices. The menu is full of traditional favorites that locals rave about, from flavorful salt and pepper shrimp to a perfectly cooked chicken and broccoli. Beyond the food, the friendly and accommodating staff have earned the restaurant a special place in the hearts of the community, and they even make sure you have plenty of fortune cookies and condiments for your take-out order.

The restaurant is an ideal spot for a casual and cozy meal, whether you’re dining in or taking out. A customer on Yelp noted that they were served with paper plates and plastic utensils, calling it “weird” but adding, “who cares, their food is very good!”. That sentiment truly captures the spirit of Ming Jie’s House: it’s not about the fancy details, but about enjoying a satisfying, freshly prepared meal from a team that genuinely cares. It’s this focus on great food and customer care that has kept local residents coming back for more.
