Terrible food and experience
My experience at this restaurant was terrible. The food was the worst I've ever had. The noodles were burned, and the cheap oil used made me throw up an hour later. Overall, a terrible experience.

Reliably Good Chinese Food in SF
This small restaurant has stood the test of time, proving that good things truly do come in small packages. In a competitive Chinese food scene like San Francisco's, this place "woks the talk. " I've been a patron for many years, especially when I lived in the Bayshore area before the pandemic. Returning recently, I was reminded of why I like it so much: reliably good food, reasonable prices, and quick service. They manage to deliver on all three fronts, which is an impressive feat.

Mongolian Beef is FIRE!
My brother loves the Mongolian Beef here. I bought him lunch, and he said it was FIRE! The food was great, and he particularly enjoyed the Mongolian Beef. The service was excellent, with a perfect score of 5. The atmosphere also received a perfect score of 5. It's a kid-friendly place with family-style seating, and it's wheelchair accessible with an accessible entrance and dining area. Parking is available via paid street parking, but finding a spot can be difficult.

Disappointing Rice Bowl and Forced Tips
My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing. I was charged a ridiculous $2. 5 for a rice bowl without being informed of the price beforehand. Additionally, I felt pressured by forced tips, which seemed to be an attempt to make me double tip. The food received a rating of 3, service a 1, and atmosphere a 1.

Best Sweet and Sour Chicken!
My experience at Ling Ling was fantastic! I had the best sweet and sour chicken I've ever tasted in San Francisco. The fried rice and chow mein were also great. To top it off, the price was good. I highly recommend Ling Ling!

Best in the Bay Area!
I've passed by this place many times and finally tried it this week. It was one of the best in the bay area.

Delicious Special Fried Rice & Sweet and Sour Fish
My experience at Ling Ling was a pleasant surprise, despite the restaurant being very small, leading to my food being to-go. I ordered the Special Fried Rice and the Sweet and Sour Fish. I specifically chose the Sweet and Sour Fish for my mom, wanting a soft meat option for her. She absolutely loved it, repeatedly saying, "Angie, this is really good! " I agreed wholeheartedly, replying, "Mom, this is really, really good. " I highly recommend stopping by Ling Ling on San Bruno in SF! 👌🏽👍🏽🙏🏽

Decent Chinese with Excellent Service
My experience at Ling Ling was marked by a no wait at 11 am on a Friday. The restaurant serves basic Chinese dishes like fried rice and chow mein. Since I had breakfast earlier, I only ordered wonton soup for $12 and BBQ pork wonton noodles for $15. Both dishes were of a decent size and tasted OK. I would have preferred shrimp in the wontons, and the BBQ pork was dry. The service was excellent, likely because we were the only ones in there.
