Hello! We do not have any MSG in our kitchen and so do not use any while cooking any of our food. However, like many restaurants, we do have a few items on our bars that are partially prepared by food service vendors. We are not aware of any items we order include MSG in it. We also offer the Mongolian Grill (included in the buffet!) that you can pick out your own fresh vegetables, meats, sauce, etc. if you want to know exactly what's in your food and how it's prepared! :) Happy Holidays!

I would like to hear straight from the owner/management. Some of y'all are saying yes and some are saying no.

Contrary to the earlier comment, MSG is not the same as salt. Chemically or in taste. In taste, it is umami. Chemically, it has glutamic acid. http://www.differencebetween.net/object/comparisons-of-food-items/difference-between-msg-and-salt/

They don't use msg, and Emily and daniel sold ming garden to a young hard working family who are holding true the past heritage of ming garden. Msg is not like salt .makes many sick. But if you have any food allegies the Mongolian grill is a great answer you can control the ingredients and tell the cook about your health concerns. If they use msg it doesn't cause stomache issues...i have had issues in past from other restraunts so i understand.

I would guess it depends on what you want to eat. Your best answer will come from Emily, she owns Ming Garden.

They say they do not. However MSG is nothing but salt and not any more harmful than the salt shaker on your kitchen table.

Jeff K. Lane | Nov 1, 2018

Yes and a lot of it!

Alex Woods | Nov 1, 2018

Yes they do use MSG

Tim Steffy | Nov 1, 2018

I would hate to think they didn't
