Ling Ling Chinese Buffet — Restaurant in Town of Geneva

We've been to this restaurant about four times. Usually the food is pretty good and there is decent options to choose from.

This time however, I was unsatisfied. We went there for my son's birthday as he wanted a "good" buffet. We got there around 5:30 so it was fairly busy. The food options were much more limited than usual and almost nothing was fresh and the bathrooms were not well kept up.

What I do like about this restaurant is that the drinks are included in the price which is not typical of a Chinese buffet. The drink machine is made available for you to get your own refreshments. The prices are decent and what you would expect for a typical all you can eat buffet. Staff was friendly. There was a lot of people coming in to fill up styrofoam containers so I'm assuming that you can take food to go as well.

As I usually do have a good experience at this restaurant I am recommending it and I am going to try it again another time. My three star rating is based off of last night's visit not previous visits and if things are better next time I go back I will update my rating. Definitely not recommended to go after 6:00 or 7:00 p.m. though even though they are...

For being a Chinese Buffet, this place was pretty good. Keep that in mind when reading. Went in for lunch on a Friday, cost $14. Food was fresh as they brought out fresh food even when I was there. Nothing I had showed signs of sitting out for a long time, nothing was dry or "crunchy" that wasn't supposed to be. Food had pretty good flavor, went with the basic American staples for Chinese food (Sesame Chicken, lo mein, white rice was in a steamer, beef/chicken broccoli. Also tried some of their specialities and they were good too. Did not try any of the seafood as I do not make that common practice at any buffet. The chicken wings were very good, i would get those on their own for a football game. Lots of desert options including self serve ice cream. Service was quick and prompt plates and silverware were clean and hot too, showing they were fresh from dishwasher. Everything is self serve, just come on and eat. Only ding would be the atmosphere, as it was clean but extremely outdated and worn. Overall, good place,...

Normally I love this restaurant. The food is tasty and there's a good variety, something for everyone. Today, not so much. I get myself a plate of food, and as I'm cutting through the cheese on the creamed spinach, it slides and there hidden beneath is two short black hairs. Gross! So I leave the half eaten plate of food and choose different food. I sit down with my second plate of food, and sprawled across my broccoli is a long straight grey hair. 🤢. My hair isn't short, black or grey. I whispered to my teenager to watch out for hairs (they were at a different table because we are such a large group) and was informed she had already rejected a plate of food because she found a hair too! If we found 4 hairs in just our group...how many went unnoticed? Or worse yet, how many were eaten? 🤢. The food isn't worth...
