I haven't tried the newly opened one yet, but today I drove for an hour and passed by with my kids. We came in and had a meal. The food was quite good and very fresh. It's worth a try.

So glad ling ling's is back! Great food and a relaxing atmosphere. First off I'd like to say for those not so good great reviews:: look at how many reviews that person has done. Maybe that person had a bad day?? or a bad experience but I'm thinking it's a one-off and not a way to compare this restaurant because this restaurant has some super super yummy food! It's always fresh. The staff is very attentive and upbeat. They have private spaces for small parties and get togethers with the family. The owner is super nice and super accommodating. This is the best Chinese buffet place around. Believe me we've tried them all. Oh and did I say anything about the prices!? Competitive to below average with above-average an outstanding food! Give him a try I'm sure you'll find the same 😁

★★★★★ 5.0 The Wandering American · Jan 2026

You know, I've read the reviews here, and I think everyone is expecting a Five Star Restaurant here. It's a Chinese BUFFET! You can get a lot of good food CHEAP. I like it. Maybe not as good as the previous Ling Ling for variety, but heck, let's give them a chance! I get take out buffet and the food has always been delish. If anything, I think they are getting very discouraged at the attitude of some of the clientele. It's 7 pm Saturday night and this place should be packed. Thanks to vengeful comments on here about "the food making people sick" - you are killing an innocent business that is trying the best they can. Shame on you! The food looks good and tastes good. I suspect there may be an orchestrated campaign against this place for business reasons.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Edward McGraw · Jan 2026

A lot of haters on the new iteration of Ling Ling, but I don’t see a significant difference versus the old one. For us, the food was hot, tasty and well stocked. Not every dish is stellar, but it’s a buffet and has to cater to a wide audience. The dessert section is excellent (lychees, etc) and there is ice cream and Italian ice in the cooler in back. There is a bell at the Mongolian bar, so we didn’t wait at all. Service was fine, may not be incredibly warm, but they seated us quickly, brought beverages right away, offered refills and constantly removed our empty plates. If you visit expecting a Chinese buffet, you shouldn’t be disappointed.

Food is cold and not fresh. Food will get you sick. Service is not good. If you ask them something they will shrug and walk away with no communication. They don't post their lunch times because they want to charge you for a dinner always. If you tell them someone in your party is a senior they ignore that also. I called before going and asked what time I could get lunch until. I was told 3:30. I arrived at 3:10 for lunch. The bill came and we were charged for dinner. I spoke with the waitress about it and she shruged and said ok, hold on & walked away. She said something to that affect. I thought she was going to handle it. Nothing for 10 minutes. She picked up tables and ignored us. I brought it up with the owner and she said lunch is until 3:20. I told her I called and
