    My dearest, My excursion to Ling's buffet was one i will tell for generations. the service was exceptional, the general tso chikc n was to die for, and the conversations with my friends were unforgettable. i can see myself bringing my family here some day. 10/10

    Sushi rolls, steamed oysters, and the square item is one of their chocolate delicious desserts.

    Buffet Asian food, sushi, and even a hibachi in the back for dinner service. It's got great taste and quick service with a beautiful place inside! I've found what I like to eat by going here. But... Sadly the Koi fish there seem to get mistreated. I've seen kids throwing coins at the fish a few times and there are always a few dollars in cents inside the pond.

    My son loved it all.

    One of the best Chinese buffets I've ever been to. Not the largest one, but they make sure to focus on the classics. They have a large selection of fresh sushi, hibachi and all different types of classic Chinese dishes. The restaurant is always clean, plenty of seating, and my son loves the beautiful koi fish pond. We came here recently and they even had Christmas insprired sushi and a little dragon on one sushi plate. Excellent attention to detail. Service is fair here. My only dilemma is we had to call over our server quite frequently and I hate doing this. The price was also pretty high for dinner in my opinion at around $16 a person but it was delicious and we left happy.

    So much to choose from in thier selection of food

    A friend of mine recommended this Chinese buffet restaurant in Lakeland, FL. Absolutely a good place to eat some good Chinese food. Lots of variety of food. I enjoyed the fact they had different flavors of Sushi. I love sushi. So this restaurant got a high five from me. I will be honest, there's been few places I've gone where the staff and managers are so attentive to thier customers and this place has gone beyond hospitable. They made us feel so comfortable and the waitresses that attended us could of not been more sweeter to us. Truly enjoyed her hospitality. Another thing I enjoyed was thier Koi fish. Love seeing these fish around ponds. They have a nice surroundings as you enter the restaurant. You kind of cross over a little overpass bridge and there you can see the fish. So if you happen to be around Lakeland, FL come by and try them out. There pretty good for Chinese food.

    This was my 1st plate of varieties

    Do they serve crawfish at lunch time?

    No, there's no crawfish fot lunch

    How much is lunch on Sundays?

    If I recall, it should be within $10.00 to $11.00 Kids are like 5.99 Kids under 2 eat free. Dinner is within $14.00 to $15.00. Drinks are included in that price. Yes, it's a bit expensive, but then again, you have so many options to eat and to… 

    What are dinner prices?

    18.50 plus they expect a 15% or above gratuity.

    We were in town and decided to have Chinese food for lunch. Found this place nearby and decided to…read moretry it out. Overall we were sadly disappointed. The gal working the counter seemed uninterested and couldn't even feign a smile. The interior itself was bleak, with faded signage above the counter and a few wooden tables and chairs around the perimeter. But we were not here to make friends with staff or have a romantic dinner, we were here for the food, but still... I ordered the General Tsao chicken and the better half ordered the Sesame Chicken; with an order of pork wontons to split. The food came out hot and fresh, albeit bagged into to-go containers even though we were dining in. The food was not hateful, just average. Albeit both dishes had ample chicken pieces, they were kind of large overall; especially in the Sesame Chicken. My General Tsao had ZERO heat to it (and they advertise it as having heat). It was actually on the sweeter side, like an Orange Chicken would be. We decided to taste test each others dishes and the taste was nearly identical, hmmmmmmmmmm I wonder why. The side of yellow "pork" fried rice that came with the main entrees was palatable, but nothing great with tiny pieces of pork hidden within it and some not fully cooked pieces of onion. The pork fried wontons were actually fairly decent, but the sweet & sour dipping sauce was straight up from a bottle. I usually consume all my Chinese food in one sitting, but since it wasn't very fulfilling I packed up half of it to go. I later ate the other half for dinner, after spicing it up with some red pepper which helped make it pop. I doubt we will ever eat here again, but if we do for some reason I'll update this review of two stars (it could've been better).

    We've ordered to-go here a handful of times now. Every time the food has been great!…read more Our go-to is Chicken and Broccoli and Sweet and Sour Chicken combos + Spring Rolls. Food is always ready to go by pick-up time.

    We were in the vicinity and desired some Chinese takeout for the trip home. Yelp gave this place…read moregood reviews so we went for it. The parking lot sucks, but that won't detract from my review of the food and service. Once inside it a fairly nondescript establishment with a couple of tables in the lobby to sit at while you wait, or eat there if you were inclined (no thanks). The place was fairly busy for a weekday late afternoon, with patrons picking up food and/or placing orders. A few folks you could tell were regular customers, which in itself is a good sign. I ordered the 'Hawaii Five O' which listed crispy shrimp, scallops, chicken, beef, roast pork and vegetables. The wife (aka better half) ordered the 'two item special' of honey chicken and chicken Teriyaki. We also ordered a side of fried pork wontons and crab rangoon. The wait was not very long and the bag felt like it weighed 10 pounds when it was handed off. On the 35 minute drive home the little lady consumed half the wontons and stated they were quite good, which I would agree with later. Both of our entrees were HUGE. They provided plenty of fried and white rice. My Hawaii Five O was very tasty and the better half enjoyed her selection(s) as well. The portions were so big that we had leftovers the following day. The next day I added some red pepper flakes to kick mine up a notch. Neither day was I disappointed. The service was efficient and pleasant enough. If we are in this part of Lakeland in the future and get a hankering for Chinese takeout we would definitely patronize the place again. Oh yeah, the Hawaii Five O at the end of the description had "lobster" listed. This was either a misprint or if there was a piece in it it was minute. Regardless, the flavors were on point.
