Ling Garden isn’t just a restaurant, it’s a time capsule of amazing flavor. I first ate here back in 2003, and it instantly became a core memory for me. The food was top notch then, and it still delivers that same quality and warmth today. The portions are generous, the service is friendly without being rushed, and the atmosphere is the kind that makes you feel like you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be. After all these years, Ling Garden remains my gold standard for Chinese food. If you’re looking for a meal that will stick with you long after the last bite, this is the place.

Classic American Chinese comfort food at its best. Huge portions, bold flavors—sweet, sour, salty, crunchy—all hit the spot. The crab rangoons were perfectly crisp, and the sesame chicken was a standout: crispy, tender, and just the right amount of sweet. Service was quick and kind, and the whole place felt like stepping into a grandmother’s kitchen. No frills, just warmth, generosity, and damn good food. We definitely over ordered but the leftovers hit just as good the next day after a long night out.

I can totally see why there are a lot of single diners here for lunch. This is exactly where I would often go for a nice Chinese food lunch if I lived or worked nearby. The food was so fresh and lots of variety. The service wonderful. Everything was clean and the prices were not terrible.

Idk what these crybabies are whining about….. I’ve only had the king pao tofu here and by god it slap. Perfectly fried crispy tofu, not greasy, great sauce. Stop complaining, enjoy your reasonably priced, delicious Chinese food. The owner is very nice older lady.

The egg rolls and Szechuan chicken are just okay. It seems fairly low quality considering the high prices

There is Chinese, and there is Chinese that does it right.
Food is always hit fresh and good. Good serving portions too. Always good service too.
The dinner special is the best money for food ratio

The Shrimp Lo Mein gave me some of the worst food poisoning I've ever had in my life. It tasted kind of off abs I probably southland have even started eating it, after eating less than 1/4 I had to stop. The shrimp were weird and kind of slimy, the mushrooms were skinny and seemed like they were canned or just really past their prime. Willl never order from here again.

We come here a lot for a quick, yummy lunch. Reasonable prices for fresh food. I like that’s it’s not too heavy! Also, everyone working is always very nice.

The food was OK. Not how I remembered 8 years back. Maybe a different chef. Really nice folks. Different strokes for different folks.

Right out of the gate service is very welcoming and friendly. Genuinely some of the nicest people I have ever met! And the food is incredible probably the best fried rice I've ever had! Today was my first of many trips here that I will make! 10 out of 10 definitely recommend!
