We have been to Sun Ming for the past 20 years and we are from China. It is the most authentic Chinese restaurant in town without a doubt. Some people may not know that egg roll, sweet sour chicken and shrimp fry rice is not real Chinese food. If you want to experience the true Chinese food you need to order from the authentic menu in the back. One way you can tell whether the restaurant is authentic is to go there during Chinese New Year and you will see its packed with Chinese people. We have sent many of our friends there and they all loved it. We are just so glad that Sun Ming is here so we can enjoy some real home food even in Columbia.

Today I ordered the lunch special #30 which was 7 cut wings & egg fried rice, I also ordered an egg roll. The egg roll was decent. The wings & rice were just blah in my opinion. I prefer China Hut Aces wings & rice. The honey on the wings tasted a little strange & the rice had a burnt taste to it. I probably wont return to this establishment. They are super expensive too. I paid a little over $13 for this meal. Dang near double what China Hut Ace charges for a similar meal during lunch time. Oh I forgot, this did not come with a drink either. Im filled with disappointment & Im $13 poorer!

The food here is good. But the service is terrible. I asked the server what kind of vegetable in the dish I would like to try. She said "I dont know". and not willing to ask anybody to find out but standing there rush me to order while there is not many people there. So I have to order something that I tried before. In the middle of dining, She came to add water to my glass, turning her face backward and talking to another server very loudly and then go to another table. She never come back to my table again. I have to ask another server for ticket. It was a bad experience. I hope they can change next time.

Its unfortunate I cannot give this place zero stars. We walked in at lunchtime and two employees were behind the register bickering between each other and ignored us. It was so long before they even acknowledged us that it grew beyond uncomfortable. We almost left and regretted that we did not by the time our meal was over. The only difference between the orange chicken and the sesame chicken was a sprinkling of sesame seeds!! Seriously? Exact same sauce! Every employee was obviously unpleasant and did not enjoy working there our serving anyone. A thoroughly miserable experience.

Not the best Ive had. Was impressed by the reviews so thats why I went to try somewhere new. Nice interior design, clean, and decorated. Was greeted immediately and warmly. I got take out general tso chicken with shrimp fried rice $13. Asked for no onions, received onions. I did not like the flavor at all. The rice was a dark brown in color and tasted burnt. Good amount of shrimp. The chicken was not spicy at all and lacked a good flavor. It gave me a bad after taste. I didnt even finish the meal. The egg roll was really good, hot and crunchy

Boring, tasteless food out of a five gallon plastic bucket...How disappointing! I try to find good local food at family owned restaurants and this "Authentic Chinese Restaurant" this is what I get? Nothing about this is Authentic Chinese unless you count the bucket. My first and last visit. Id rather go to the Mall Food Court, they sell this crap too but at least they are honest about it! Authentic my A**! It cost me $50 but going in the trash.

Ordered online. Shrimp Lo Mein - Didnt look too appetizing. I asked for Extra Hot and Spicy. That didnt happen. Shrimp Fried Rice - Asked for No Onions. Got Onions. Asked for Hot and Spicy. That didnt happen. Sauteed Broccoli - This was okay. Egg Roll - Didnt think it was possible to have an egg roll that wasnt too tasty. Lessons: Dont order online. Dont eat the lo mein. Eat inside (looks nice)

Horrible food and awful service!! Server spilled a drink all over me and my child then smirked and proceeded to charge me and my family for not only the spilt beverage but, the replacement soda as well! Awful, awful and awful! There was a previous incident where a customer actually cracked a tooth due to a rock in their rice... Dont say you havent been warned!

My first time eating here was today. The food was great and so was the service. I ordered general Tso chicken and orange chicken. The orange chicken was different than what I was use to I didnt give it a try. The man changed it with no problem. Inside nice and clean. Great customer service!

Most authentic Chinese in the Columbia/Lexington metro. The front of the menu has the standard American style Chinese. And they do that great. But the back of the menu is where they shine. Mainland Chinese style dishes. I recommend just picking one and keep trying. Such good stuff.

This by far my favorite Chinese restaurant in Columbia. The staff always is very courteous and helpful. The menu has all of the favorite dishes along with some authentic dishes which all are prepared very well. You should definitely give Sun Ming a try if youre in the neighborhood.

We were traveling to Tennessee and came here based upon the reviews. Beef broccoli - tasted great, sauce was excellent. Sweet and sour - crust was thin and very tasty. Fried rice - excellent authentic tasty. Wings- nice and crispy and very tasty. Service was excellent.

Ive heard its the best chinese restaurant in town... Make sure to order from the speciality menu if you are looking for authentic stuff. Though my kung pao wasnt the best, Im not gonna judge based on first experience. Will try the food again soon and revise my review.

This is without rival the best Chinese place in Columbia. Superior quality on all the usual suspects on a Chines menu and a deep Authentic section without descriptions but very much worth exploring. Dishes appear there that I havent seen outside of Singapore.

Its hard to find Chinese that isnt deep fried and covered in oil these days and the fact that they dont do that immediately moves them up in the list. Still isnt the best Chinese Ive ever had but still good. Havent found a better place in the Columbia area yet.

The best Chinese you can get in the area. I highly recommend that you actually sit down with a group of people and order from the authentic menu and then share your dishes. If you want some cheap American Chinese take out, go somewhere else.

Good sized portions. Better than other places Ive tried in the area. Most everything is on the sweet side but all in all very good. Family style portions but not served family style. Recommend asking for additional plates when ordering.

One of THE WORST places ever!!!! I ordered just plain wings with pork fried rice! The chicken was UNDERCOOKED! When you bite into it, it was red! Also the meat in the rice was UNDERCOOKED!!! I WILL NEVER go to this place again!!
