Customer Review Summary
Delivery is the recurring complaint. Two reviewers describe waits of more than two hours, with food arriving cold, unanswered calls, no promised callback, and wrong items, including a mushroom chow mein instead of beef. One says the correct items took another half hour and no partial refund was offered. Others report bland beef and broccoli, chilli chicken that was not spicy, a special chow mein of plain noodles with no vegetables, and dry batter, hard chips and disappointing spare ribs. One reviewer notes that the food arrived on time and hot after worrying about earlier reviews.

“I use to use ling lings every week but I ordered special chow mien but it was just noodles no onion or anything other than noodles. Is that how ling lings chef likes to cook it or am I wrong as it would taste so much better with the other ingredients like onion,some veg etc. It would be easy to make it better owners what do you think?”

“This establishment has always been my go-to Chinese restaurant in the area. Despite having relocated, we occasionally visit and are pleased to find that the quality of the food remains exceptional. The flavors are consistently fresh and delicious, making it difficult to find a better Chinese dining experience elsewhere. We had a salt and pepper box to see what the hype was about. So much flavor.”
Highlights
“We are a small friendly Chinese takeaway and delivery business. With helpful staff, we endeavour to provide high quality tasty food for our customers.”
