Authentic Chinese flavor. Generous portion, very good value. Friendly and efficient service. My fiend and I happened to go through JC and had a very late lunch here today. Every dish tastes good, especially their beef dishes & tomato egg stir-fry. Highly recommended. read more

We've lived up the block from this place for 3 years and finally sat down to dine in. It was empty and the girl serving us was the only one there and didn't really provide us with customer service. We had to wait 15 minutes just for our sodas. The dishes are very unique in cultural sourcing - it's not what you expect of a regular Chinese restaurant. The servings are HUGE and good for 2 servings. The ambiance is not that great even though there's a big space and there was a lot of junk sitting around the place like extra stock of drinks and boxes all over the place. I don't think people really eat-in here. When I did takeout, it was still not worth the price of other similar restaurants in the area. Also this place doesn't have combinations sold together -- you have to buy rice on the side for EVERY dish which is not a traditional way to serve each dish in general. The prices here are not worth trying it - way overpriced and overcharged! Should be more affordable since we do not get the rice with the combination plates. read more

I got the lunch special. The fried fish was spicy and crispy. The portion was good as well. Service was a bit slow, I got there at the estimated time but had to wait another 15 min at the restaurant. Staff was good, they can speak in English and Mandarin. The inside was very quiet. I was surprised no one was dining inside considering the quality of the food was decent. read more

Ling Long Xuan - Double Cooked Fish - Chinese Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

Amazing: 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. read more

So I ordered take out from this place, right off the bat, lady handling the phones was so sweet. Patient, courteous and just an all around pleasure. I placed an order for pick up. Sesame chicken - really good Vegetable fried rice- different from any other fried rice I've had but in a very good way Pan fried pork buns - a must Scallion pancake- this was probably the most disappointing. Not a single sign of a chopped scallion, see photo. Took a bite thinking maybe it just tastes good like this? - it didn't, it was just bread. Didn't upset me though cause everything else was fantastic. Will probably just get the scallion beef next time. Cucumber salad- 10/10. Don't miss this as a perfect side to whatever you get. It was delicious and the liberal amounts of fresh cilantro really took it to the next level for me. 4/5 will order again. Pork buns not in photo cause they were in our bellies when photos were taken. read more

Food (5/5): We ordered the chicken with eggplant and the fatty beef dry hotpot for to go. Both dishes were delicious! I particularly liked the texture of the eggplant and chicken which were tender. I also liked the fatty beef dry pot as the beef absorbed the good flavors. Service (4/5): Helpful and friendly service. We asked to remove the peppercorn in the fatty beef dry hotpot and they were able to. We came later and near closing of 9pm so ordered to go. The food came out reasonably fast. Ambiance (5/5): Nice restaurant interior with plenty of seats that are well spaced out. I like how well lit it is and how there are good ceiling decorations. read more

I started getting food from here during Covid and the food was exceptional, after Covid the store started to cut back on quality of food, they started giving less white rice in the box (they no longer fill the box up), the general tso has changed it is without a doubt no longer all white meat it seems to be dark meat and very small piece similar to the size of meat you would find in a dumpling the rest is batter, so a piece is about 90% batter and 10% meat, some pieces aren't even edible, I felt like I was eating something else that wasn't even chicken with some pieces and in the to go container they fill up about 20% of it with broccoli so you get less meat, everyone knows you get 2-4 pieces of broccoli with a large order of general tso, today I got 9 pieces. Food is terrible now and will definitely never eat from here again. I'd you want great Chinese food, get Sen Hai off uber eat, trust me you won't be disappointed read more

To my fans hoping for a review of an elaborate Valentine's Day excursion, perhaps something involving a Hamptons tasting menu, I must inform you that the holiday was just me at home, with frequent sneezing and an Uber Eats delivery. But the tears were not from loneliness, but rather the brilliant spices of the Chong Qing Style Chicken. The abundant peppers seemed to set the stage for a detente: stick to the chicken and you'll be safe. But the other flavorings crossed over more covertly, so the chicken got spicier as it went along. Near the breaking point, the deus ex machina arrived in the form of the rice, helping to provide a more sustainable fire ratio. Cucumber Salad Country Style wasn't structurally complex but offered an enticing dose of garlic. Ling Long Xuan is definitely in the "more is more" school. read more

The food was authentic and it has lots of options. Everything was nicely cooked and the scallion pancake was absolutely great. Nice texture and it has great quality. They had a surprisingly good selection of teas and local Asian beers. Polite, efficient, and fast. Our server was helpful with suggestions. Food arrived hot and fresh within 15-20 minutes, even on a busy Saturday night. It felt authentic without being overly themed. Clean and family-friendly, but stylish enough for a casual date night. read more

Finally found the Chinese restaurant for home delivery in JC! (Would also love to stop by the actual restaurant one day!) After trying several spots, thus one meets an exceeds expectations! My kids love Ma po tofu (but can't take it spicy) so this is one of the dishes that I always try to define if the restaurant is good or not. It was delicious!!! We also had the sipcy eggplant and flavours was spot on! read more

In an effort to try all of the Chinese places in Northern Jersey, we trekked 40 minutes from Bergen County down to Jersey City to try this restaurant. It was not really worth that. Despite going on a Saturday evening, most of the tables were empty. Seemed like there were a good number of takeout orders. The food is authentic, yes, but it wasn't that amazing. We tried pork hock with brown sauce, which was flavored well but mostly bone - not too much meat. We had tofu with crab meat, which was tofu with some sort of crab sauce? There was not really any crab meat in that dish. We had soup dumplings, which had somewhat chewy skin. Finally, we had a noodle dish, which was okay. Authentic is good, but there are better options in Jersey City. read more

I recently moved into JC JSQ (Dec 2022) and I'm in love with this place. Ordered takeout twice and dined in once. I'm a huge spice lover, everything szechuan and chongqing. I always order their spicy dishes and ask for extra spicy -- I promise it makes the dishes the perfect amount of spicy yummyness if you love spicy mala dishes like me. For lunch special, I've ordered the 12.50 beef with green chili peppers and rice - decent size and asked for extra spicy. Food was fresh upon pickup and hot. Flavor was good and it came with soup. Takeout is always ready on time! For spicy dishes, I highly recommend: - Shui Zhu Yu (水煮鱼) Spicy Fish Fillets - Fu Qi Fei Pian appetizer (夫妻肺片) - Ma La Niu Rou (麻辣肥牛) Numbing Fat Beef Hong You Chao Shou (红油抄手) was good too, though not something I was like "OMG" for. Filling was more than most other places, and dumpling skin was smooth and thin. I also tried the sesame balls with red bean paste inside for dessert and it was really crispy, hot, and fresh when served -- thoroughly enjoyed it during dine in! My fam and I had a nice chat with the waiter/front desk worker and he's fluent in Canto, Mando, and English which is great :). Seems like the owner is from Northern China and the restaurant is under new management as of a month ago. Interior is very new and clean and big, bathroom is also very clean and nice, and restaurant service was great. This would be a nice place to go with family and friends for gatherings! A little more on the pricey side for dishes, but we're in Jersey City, so...sort of expected. As someone who has eaten these dishes in China and HK, as well as other good spots in NJ/NYC, I'd vouch for the authenticity of the food! I'll be back regularly from now on :). (I'll also update my review to include other photos and reviews of other dishes). P.S. they give out $5 cash vouchers to use for dine-in sometimes, with a dine-in meal $30+. Also, there is usually street parking available in front or across the street, max 2 hours and metered parking, free on weekends and holidays :) I'd expect this restaurant to take off once the park is built across the street as well. Perfect location! read more

The lo mein was okay, except I ordered pork and received beef. The General Tso's Chicken was incredibly dry. Shrimp and String Beans on the other hand were soggy, drowning in sauce. I thought the flavor on everything overall was just very underwhelming. Perhaps needed to try more authentic dishes but this was not it for a foodie white girl. read more

I 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. read more

Love, Ling Long Xuan. First time visit for the new Lunar Year and what a delectable dinner it was to bring in the year of the tiger. We ordered take out which was easy and ready as estimated. Parking directly in front for an easy in and out. They provided all the usual sauce packets, napkins and chopsticks. The food was delicious. The chicken and sauce were flavorful with fresh crisp broccoli over fresh fluffy white rice. The chicken lo mein was light on the oil and ample amount of ingredients such as cut veggies and sliced chicken pieces, i could have used more spicy. The dim sum was fresh and delicious. Will return for more noodles and dumplings. read more

Great food for the price! The sweet spot for Chinese food. Very nice staff, they prefer cash.

Ling Long Xuan has a very well deserved reputation for offering the best vaguely Americanized Chinese food in Jersey City. Craving a simple meal of roast pork lo mein and wonton soup while recovering from my second vaccine dose, I decided to finally give the spot a try. While a few dollars pricier than the run of the mill corner spots, the price is absolutely worth it. The wonton soup was pleasantly missing the blast of salt expected from most soups, with delicate wontons in a gingery broth, while the lo mein noodles were tender and handmade, perfectly matched to the meltingly soft pork. The menu offers up some more traditional choices (cumin meats, whole fish, hotpots); regardless of what you order, you won't go wrong. Highly, highly recommended read more

This has been my go to Chinese spot since I moved into my current neighborhood. I have eaten in and also had delivered on several occasions and have never had a problem with the food quality. They do well with specific requests outside of their menu options and always have the food ready in a timely manner. Service in the restaurant as well has always been great so I will continue to do business with them as long as I reside in the neighborhood. I have tried some other Chinese restaurants in the area as well but this has definitely been my favorite one thus far. read more

Definitely a solid spot in Jersey city and authentic! Got a few things to go from here and most of the items we had were great! Prices are definitely a bit steep but thought the portion was pretty generous. 1) cumin beef. Thinly sliced beef with lots of flavors from the cumin, cilantro and onions. Flavor was great and numbing. 2) beef in hot chili. We actually ordered fish fillet but the kitchen made a mistake. It's all good tho because the flavor was on point and it was spicy, oily and numbing just like how it should be 3) young chow fried rice: the least favorite item we had here. Very bland and boring. Overall this is a great spot in the area. Definitely recommend coming if in the area. read more

I was looking for a quick lunch one day and was really craving Chinese food. There is not really a lot of good Chinese food in JC - and a lot of places will charge you an arm for some dumplings. I remembered my sister said she really liked the food at Ling Long, so I put in an order on Uber Eats. I had the Beef Ho Fun and the Scallion Pancakes. Scallion Pancakes were amazing - crispy and thin with an amazing dipping sauce. When we received the order, and even 20 minutes later, they were still pipping hot. The Beef Ho Fun left a lot to be desired. The ho fun was basically flavorless and I had to whip out my trusty Hoisin sauce to give it some flavor. Did they even put any sauce in it?? I'll leave it at a 3 star for now until I have more items. It might be a one-off, maybe their chef was on vacation. Who knows. read more

Ling Long Xuan Restaurant Found this place through Yelp reviews while on a work travel trip on a late night meal in Jersey City, New Jersey. Pork Belly was a very good dish, full of flavor and delicious, would recommend giving this a try. Won Ton Soup was bland, no flavor or taste would definitely not recommend to my worst enemy Spicy Chicken we requested that there be no heat, I guess that is up for interpretation but it was still pretty spicy with hot peppers galore Xiao Long Bao were very good, served warm, not too hot but good consistency, very happy with this order. At first the waitress was very combative, and then a second one came over to help and she was much more kind and attentive. Next time will go into the city for Chinese food read more

This is probably the best Chinese lunch special in all of JC. You can get an entree along with white/brown/fried rice and egg drop/wonton/hot & sour soup. They have classic Chinese-American dishes like General Tso's chicken but also things you wouldn't find at a normal Chinese takeaway like Chinese celery with pork and dried beancurd. Every dish is well-seasoned and made with fresh ingredients, and the fried rice is full of wok hei. The soups are nice and light. The food is five-star quality, though the reliability brings it down a notch. They closed down for about two or three months this summer due to difficulties finding a chef, so I've heard. It's now open again, but they don't reliably open at 11 AM every day due to having to drive from Flushing and possibly getting stuck in traffic. I've had orders on Uber Eats/Doordash canceled on me on occasion. But the food is so good that I'm willing to risk it. read more

The food here is solid. The service is impeccable, granted we were the only ones dining in at noon on Sunday. The restaurant (and it's bathroom) are VERY VERY CLEAN. We loved the Chongqin chicken. The soup dumplings were solid. Scallion pancakes delish. Next time we're getting the dumplings in chili oil! They even have a couple of round tables with lazy Susan in the middle for large groups! We will be back and next time, we're bringing friends with us! read more

I have been wondering when this place will open for the past few month. Finally coming by today during jury duty for lunch. Very nice and authentic place, will come for dinner another day. I only ordered beef with string beans lunch special and pork with minced garlic. The string bean and beef dish was very good. The sauce in the pork was great but the pork itself was a bit on the chewy side. I was expecting melt in you mouth kinda texture. Will come again for dinner and see. Came again for dinner next day. The food do not disappoint. 夫妻肺片-beef tripe in hot sauce - tasted very fresh ingredients. The slices were thin and just perfect to suck up the sauce flavors 干煸四季豆-string beans - we asked for not spicy so our 5 yr old can eat it - very flavorful- our son could not stop eating it. 酸汤肥牛-needle mushroom beef in sour soup - hit the spot. Not very spicy but gives you the kick in the flavor. And on a cold day, make you all warm inside. 新疆羊肉-xin jiang style lamb - is slightly different from the usual cumin lamb, recommended by the wait staff. It was good and cooked very tender. The congees were also a good compliment to the meal. Both 小米粥and 黑米粥was good with generous portions. Cant wait to come and try other dishes. read more

This is exactly what we needed in these times - good comfort food that gives you the feeling someone cares, for real. There's "Peking Duck", which is roast duck and that is okay for $41 with 12 pancakes, (which are absolutely delicious) and the requisite scallions and cucumbers plus duck hoisin sauce. The other items on the dimsum menu are outstanding by JC standards : HarGow, Pork Soup dumplings, and the Congee with pork with preserved egg is on point. A real gem - the staff is very professional (I dealt with Leo) and communication is excellent. Highly recommended, and keep this a secret. Thanks. read more

If I could give it zero stars I would. The lady taking my order today was rude. Snatched the menu from my hand after I ordered. Then took for ever to bring soy sauce and chopsticks. To make it worse my food comes out and there is a roach in it. Yes a smashed up roach. I showed the male worker and he took the roach on the chopstick to the back came back with two ginger ale sodas and said sorry. No lie. So we had some stuff to go which we told them we no longer want after finding the roach in the food. They said no it's prepared already you have to pay. I told him I would not be doing that as I just found a roach in my food and the entire meal should've been comped at that point. He only took off the to go item. If you like roaches and salty food and rude service this is the place to go. I wish my phone wasn't dead so I could've took a picture of that mess. read more

Okay where do I start? I love a good, family run authentic Asian restaurant. I'm always searching them out when I have the chance. I found this on yelp and the reviews and food photos were amazing. I do enjoy some spicy food. I eat spicy with Italian, Indian and Asian to name a few. So here's what I ordered at Ling Long Xuan... P01 - Chongqing Style Chicken DS7 - Scallion Pancake with Beef DS13 - Wonton Szechuan Style Z04 - Shredded Pork with Cilantro and Spicy Chilis Okay, I must be getting old because the spice level just about blew my head off. Don't get me wrong, the flavors were deep and complex and delicious! So delicious but for me, trying to enjoy it while sweat poured down my head was a bit harsh! The Chongqing Chicken was the spiciest to me. Filled with chilis and other good stuff, the chicken was fried perfectly and crunchy. The rest though, it required white rice to finish what I had. Definitely a wonderful dish for the more tolerant. The Shredded pork was yummy too, not as crazy hot but equally as flavorful! The spice was accentuated by the cilantro and man was it tasty! My mouth was so numb! The Wontons were delicious; and much milder than the first two dishes I noted. The wonton themselves deserved to be eaten with no sauce, just to taste the filling better. The sauce was full of flavors and so good. I'll order them again. The scallion pancake after all that intensity was good but came across a bit bland. I had the other half of it today and trust me, it was not bland at all, my tongue was just working again! I'd get that again also! I'm not discounting this restaurant. There are tons of other things that I want to try there. It's just I have a new sissy boy level with heat I guess. I can handle 3 alarm but 5 alarm is meant for a younger crowd! Definitely, lovers of true Chinese/Asian food need to try this place. You won't be disappointed. read more

The best wontons (wildly good garlic sauce) and Lo Mein I have ever had. Sort of mid scallion pancakes tho.

Finally some solid Chinese food in downtown JC! I ordered takeout from Ling Long Xuan and was really impressed with everything. The beef scallion pancake appetizer was delicious and probably my favorite part of the meal. The order came with four large pieces stuffed with a generous amount of beef and fresh scallion. The sesame chicken had a ton of quality white meat chicken.The pork fried rice also had a generous amount of crispy pork. My only complaint is that this order was too large, and too overpriced. Fried rice is $11 and is absolutely massive, it's almost like two orders. My suggestion would be to offer a smaller sized fried rice for a lesser cost. The menu is huge and you can find every and any time of chinese restaurant staple. I was eyeing some of the items on the dim sum section, and am looking forward to trying the pork soup dumplings. The interior looks really sleek and beautiful, so next time I'll try and dine in! read more
