Ling Ling Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Georgia

I recently visited Ling Ling Chinese Restaurant and had a mixed experience that left me with both positive and negative impressions. Here's an in-depth review of my visit:

Ambiance and Service Ling Ling Chinese Restaurant boasts a cozy and inviting atmosphere with traditional Chinese decor that sets the mood for an authentic dining experience. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring that our dining experience was pleasant and smooth from start to finish.

Food Quality and Presentation Main Dishes The restaurant offers generous portions of food, which is a significant plus. It's great to see that they don't skimp on serving sizes, making sure you get your money's worth. The flavors were spot-on, with each dish bursting with the rich and savory tastes that one would expect from a high-quality Chinese restaurant. The variety of dishes on the menu is impressive, catering to different tastes and preferences.

Egg Roll Unfortunately, the egg roll did not meet expectations. It was chewy and doughy, lacking the crispy exterior that makes a great egg roll. The filling was somewhat bland, which was disappointing given the otherwise flavorful main dishes.

Fortune Cookie The meal ended on a less than stellar note with the fortune cookie, which was stale. A fresh and crispy fortune cookie is a small but significant part of the Chinese dining experience, and this oversight was noticeable.

Overall Experience While there were a couple of letdowns with the egg roll and the fortune cookie, the overall experience at Ling Ling Chinese Restaurant was still positive. The large portions and the excellent flavors of the main dishes were definite highlights. With a little more attention to detail in their appetizers and dessert offerings, Ling Ling could easily earn a full five-star rating.

Rating: 4/5 Stars Ling Ling Chinese Restaurant has a lot of potential and many positive attributes. The friendly service, inviting atmosphere, and large quantities of delicious food make it a worthwhile dining spot. However, improvements in the quality of their egg rolls and fortune cookies would enhance the overall dining experience, pushing this review closer to a...

We decided to try this based on a friend's raving reviews. Honestly, our expectations were low for a "fast food" Chinese Restaurant. WOW, were we wrong! First, the portion sizes are HUGE, and for the price, we expected a third of the serving we received.

We had placed the order online and were given a pickup time. When I walked in and asked about our order, they had yet to receive the online order. The owner apologized, and they prepared our order quickly. The response from the owner and staff was excellent and above the service we are accustomed to at other places. They even gave us a free order of Chinese Donuts due to the lost online order that was outside their control.

Over the last three weeks, we have returned three more times, and the speed, order accuracy, and portion sizes have been consistent each time. The food is always fresh and hot, and the customer service from all the staff is above par. The restaurant is very clean.

They offer an expansive menu of fresh foods. The portion sizes are incredible, we order a large meat entree and fried rice, and it is enough food for us to have a full dinner and our lunches for the following day. Our dinner tonight was $21.00 before we added a $10 tip. We like to tip for great food that exceeds our expectations. Not bad to get a full dinner and lunch the following day for $31.00, including tip.

TIP: If you pick up your order to take out, they have serving items and a full complement of condiments such as Duck Sauce, Hot Mustard, and much more beside the drink machine.

We highly recommend and will be...

Decided to try some of the more authentic items and was not disappointed. I ordered the shrimp and cucumber. I had some kind of garlic sauce on it was to die for. Shrimp were cooked perfectly and were clean tasting. I got the two entree combo with steamed dumplings and lo mein. Both of those items were pretty decent. Not knock your socks off, but still solid. Would definitely order that combination again. I also opted for the shrimp egg roll which after eating at this place many times and trying both the vegetable and the roast pork egg rolls, I have to say the shrimp was the best out of three for flavor, to which it had a lot!

My partner ordered the number 2 combo, which was the sesame chicken and sweet and sour chicken. He said the sesame chicken was fantastic and the sweet and sour was just ok. Not bad, but not his favorite.

We order from this place quite a bit and have yet to have a bad experience. The people who run it are very nice and willing to explain their dishes, as well as let you try...
