Ming Toy is a Waukegan staple for dining. Since covid they have closed their dine in area. But honestly it's given them more time to pump out take outs, and who can blame them when it tastes that good. Only thing is now some can say, "I used to eat in here" where so many won't ever be able to. I will always return, time and time again. Thanks much
