Reviews for Ling Ling Garden in Ithaca, NY
Really nice place, looked like it really needed a bit of help with customers though. Recommend to grab some (sub)authentic... Chinese food here for cheap prices (10 crab rangoons for only $5?!) Read more
I called my order in and it was hot and ready quick. I got the General Tso special and it was tasty. Thanks for an easy dinner... Ling Ling Garden on Pine Tree! Read more
As far as Chinese food in Ithaca, there aren?t any good choices, but being optimistic, I chose to visit Ling Ling Garden. That... was a mistake! Tina was abrupt when speaking to customers. The food wasn?t good. Szechuan chicken was not spicy at all thoughit?s supposed to be. Instead of spicy red peppers there were small red pepper flakes in the sauce. Was like eating an entiregreen pepper with chicken, celery and green peas. I don?t count the two small chunks of mushroom. And the sauce tasted likediluted soy sauce not szechuan sauce. Basically, this place was no exception to the lack of decent Chinese restaurants inIthaca! Read more
Same experience as other reviewers. Summer 2021 what used to be our go to place has been terrible. Both downtown and here. New... management? Idk but everything was terrible both times we went and we ordered five dinners each time. Nothing like 75$ worth ofnasty food leftover in fridge. The dumpling joint in center Ithaca is only decent place I know of. Bummed Ling Ling fell apartso badly. Read more
We used to always enjoy a ling ling meal. However as of late, the last two orders have been extremely disappointing. Chicken... with fried rice is now fried rice where you need a microscope to find any chicken if there is any. I received the wrong saucefor my meal, A very spicy one I might add not sure if there?s a new chef or what the challenge is. What I found most disturbing,was when I called to let them know I was told that is not possible there was definitely more chicken than we had counted.Another words, accusing me of lying. When I brought that up I was laughed at snd told to bring it back so she could see it! Seriously???? Were they planning to count it themselves?? We were hungry and already had driven there once, but to bring it backwhile the rest of the dinner got cold? Not once was there an apology Not a one. Instead I was indirectly accused of beingdishonest. I have been getting my Chinese food from there since 2011. They just lost a customer. Frankly I don?t think they evencare. Hopefully this will help to make others think before doing business with unprofessional and discourteous places. There areplenty of others that would clearly welcome your business happily Read more
BE CAREFUL: Was given the wrong order for take-out. That's fine, similar orders get mixed up, no problem. They even called just... as we got home and realized it too. When we returned to get the correct order, they demanded the wrong one back. I wassuspicious and when I asked why, it was made clear they were going to give it to the next customer. Once the food leaves thebuilding, it cannot be reserved. It's a real shame to see bad business practice like this, especially during a pandemic. Aftermany awkward moments of waiting while several ppl yelled thru the walls.. I got fed up and left. This is lose-lose business atits finest. Read more
Awesome! Clean, friendly, polite. Orange chicken actually has real orange added to it instead of the sauce being straight from... the bottle. Hand made gyoza and crab ragoon... not frozen prepackaged stuff! I was sceptical because of the location beingthat there isnt a lot of traffic... I figured they would cut corners to save money, but I tried it and I'm loving it! Read more
Consistently good Chinese food. Lots of food for the price. They usually get the order correct. Update 7/22: Currently only... open for take out. Also there is a 3-4% surcharge if you don't pay in cash. Read more
