4 months agoI had such a great experience at Ling Long Xuan today. A huge thank you to JJ the owner who was honestly so sweet and made us feel right at home. It’s rare to find such genuine hospitality these days. The service was amazing and the food came out so fast. Everything was piping hot and tasted incredible. You can tell they really care about the quality of what they serve. If you want authentic food and a welcoming vibe, you have to check this place out. I will definitely be coming back soon!

a year agoAmazing: authentic pan-Chinese fare in the deadest dead zone to ever die. Our best dishes were the Xinjiang Style Lamp, the Fried Loofah with Gluten and the Filet Sole With Vegetable Hot Pot. This last dish is a rarity even at Szechuan restaurants. The fish was buttery soft while being perfectly fried, the mala seasoning was hot and flavorful, and all the veggie accompaniments were perfectly cooked. On this one dish alone, I'd schlep back to this slice of urban wasteland. Our just okay dishes were the Sliced Spicy Beef Noodle Soup (too oily and bland) and the Chinese Burger with Lamb--the bun was perfectly crispy and the lamb well made, but someone clearly forgot to season the dish because it was way too bland. I felt bad because they were clearly proud of their "authentic" Beijing burger, but without salt....No? We also got some complimentary spicy pig ears to try. No idea why, but I'm not complaining. I love pig ears. Still, that mala fish dish. It slaps harder than whatever BTS releases next. Go here just for that.

a year agoI sat at a completely empty table for 4 in an EMPTY RESTAURANT. Was made to sit in a corner in the back. "We're expecting a lot of people for lunch". Why not a table up front for two ? Or just let me sit at the table I picked. Why the back? Seems very weird. Especially since right in front of me, two people sat at tables meant for 4. And then one person, sat at a table meant for 4. Pretty rude, considered they weren't asked repeatedly how many ppl were in their party, or asked to move. Chongqing chicken was "ehhh". Not spicy AT ALL, and not crispy. I can't give a higher rating, based on how I, a PAYING CUSTOMER was treated. She was rude to another potential customer as well.

a year agoI recently dined at Ling Long Xuan, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The decor is both elegant and cozy, making it the perfect spot for any occasion. The service was exceptional; our server was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. Now, let's talk about the food! Each dish we ordered was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. I highly recommend the beef with string bean, which was a standout. The freshness of the ingredients really shone through. The drink menu was equally impressive, featuring a great selection of wines and creative cocktails. We finished off our meal with desserts, and it was the perfect sweet ending. Overall, I can't recommend Ling Long Xuan enough. I’ll definitely be returning for another amazing meal. Five stars!

3 years agoThe food here is amazing. One of the best I tried in any area. I came here with my auntie to sit down and she said it’s very authentic. I feel like the chef really put their heart into it. I’ve really enjoyed the fish. Both times I’ve tried the food I’ve been impressed. I’ve had two different types of fish on the menu. Once dining at the restaurant with my aunt and just now as a pick up. The wonton soup was delicious. The guy at the front who was serving us when we dined in was very friendly and nice as well If they are able to keep maintaining this standard and taste I’ll definitely keep coming back and will recommend all my friends as well.

3 years agoI didn't feel like cooking one Tuesday night so we decided to order from Ling Long Xuan for takeout. The menu looked pretty promising, with a number of classic Cantonese dishes. It wasn't your typical Chinese takeout menu. Unfortunately, the food was underwhelming. Here is everything we ordered: Yang Chow Fried Rice - this was the best dish. It hit the spot as a comfort food Chicken Lomein - a pretty solid lomein but a little bit too salty. I liked that they put bamboo shoots in there Pork and Preserved Egg Congee - this might be the worst congee I've ever had. It was so watery and flavor-less, and what little pork pieces were in there, tasted really old. If I didn't know it was congee, I could have easily mistaken it for dish rag water. Avoid this for your own good Scallion pancake wrapped with beef - this wasn't bad but also a bit too salty Probably would not order from here again, unless it's just to get some of the fried rice.

Edited a year agoFor anyone who likes relatively authentic Chinese food, Ling Long Xuan is worth a visit! I came here specifically to try their Mapo tofu dish because I’m a fan of it. And I’d say it was better than average: I’m used to ones that are bland, or too oily, or very heavy on the peppercorns. While this version does have sauce it didn’t seem overly oily and seemed to mix well over rice. And that’s all I tried haha - I ordered 2 dishes of this because friends were curious too! If I’m around area and craving Chinese food I would give one of their other dishes a try too. Note that they are currently closed for indoor dining. Parking seems to be street. And bonus props for not changing their name to something more easily pronounceable or recognizable! At least they’re true to what they’re about. — 2025 visit: Good thing I write reviews because I forgot I’d already visited. By now they are fully open. I ordered their mapo tofu lunch size, with a hot and sour soup. The tofu is still good, though the serving size is a bit small for my preference. The hot & sour soup is dark and very gelatinous, with the sour taste coming through clearly from the first sip. Not my favorite version of this classic soup, next time I’d opt for the egg drop.

5 years agoOrdered delivery from here yesterday and it was great! Arrived super fast and everything was still very warm. My favorite of the bunch is the spicy fried chicken wings but all the spicy dishes were delicious. The noodles were a bit bland compared to others I’ve had so I recommend their spicy dishes more. The pork buns are a great value and still taste very delicious reheated next day. The dishes with a lot of spicy sauce (like the mapo tofu) did spill a bit but the plastic bag kept most of the mess contained so it wasn’t a big problem. Definitely will order again and try more of their menu!
