Based in Auchenkilns Park, at the junction of A80 and A73, Mings is a fantastic Oriental restaurant serving exquisite Chinese, Thai and Japanese cuisine. The original Mings opened in Glasgow’s plush, upmarket Princes Square in 1987, and continues to attract a relentless stream of sophisticated city shoppers. Since its 2005 inception in Cumbernauld, Mings has unsurprisingly built upon the success of the Glasgow incarnation, largely due to the exceptionally high standards of service and the fabulous Oriental-fusion cuisine. The décor is stylish and contemporary, with clean lines and hardwood furniture providing a smart backdrop to the unique displays of gastronomic showmanship. There’s a fine and diverse range of exotically-flavoured eastern dishes, but the real speciality is the thrilling Teppanyaki cooking, a dramatic exhibition of culinary expertise that involves the chef cooking beautifully fresh ingredients on the steel Teppan, a hot steel plate situated in the centre of the diners’ table. A fast and efficient takeaway service allows diners to experience the delectable oriental fare in the in their own home.
