OUR ROOTS

In Khmer, Ming means "Auntie." At Ming’s we will always cook for you and treat you like family (like that auntie who you actually like). We create crave-worthy cuisine that celebrates the intersection of Asian and American food culture. Our mission is to provide our community with our unique brand of locally sourced comfort food - and the largest, most mouthwatering sandos you can wrap your hands around.

Josh and Korn are a couple who's love of cooking Asian cuisine drove them mad enough to drop the 9 to 5 and open a food truck. Korn's parents escaped Cambodia during the Khmer Rouge of the 1970's and settled in Rhode Island, where they raised three children on the food of their home country. These Cambodian favorites, with the influence of Asian cuisines such as Vietnam, Thailand and Korea have always been close to her heart. 

Josh learned to cook as a teenager and took a special interest in barbecue and other types of comfort food. He loved to grill up feasts for family, friends, and parties and to learn about global cuisine. Lucky for him, he found Korn and her infectious knowledge and pride in Southeast Asian cuisine. It is this shared passion that brings you Ming's!

Ming's Asian Street Food officially launched in 2018 as a mobile food trailer and catering service. In the first six months of business, we rented a rudimentary food trailer and adapted it to produce a small menu of Asian street food dishes. In 2019, we purchased a food truck and recreated our menu to focus on Asian inspired fried chicken sandwiches, banh mi, and other Asian-inspired comfort foods.

At Ming's we value a strong work ethic, inclusivity, and respect for people of all backgrounds. We believe the fusion of cultures make us all stronger and we are proud to contribute with food and friendliness to our community scene.
