Decent Chinese food. They are fast and their food is flavorful. Sweet and Sour Chicken- comes with white rice. The chicken was white meat and was lightly breaded and fried to perfection. The sauce wasn't overly sweet. Chicken Lo Mein- Tasty and the small was enough to share with my husband. Chicken with Broccoli- Very oily. I used a napkin to get some of the oil off. It was flavorful. read more

Sorry, food went down hill, over priced. Went here for years, but now off list. Like smokey bones, once was delicious, but new owners changed the ribs and that was the end. read more

I don't usually leave reviews, but this needed to be said. I just spent $40 on what can only be described as goop. Every single item in my order was either soggy, flavorless, overly greasy, or just plain gross. Nothing tasted fresh, the textures were all wrong, and honestly, I've had better from a frozen dinner. Total waste of money -- I couldn't even finish it. Save yourself the disappointment and eat literally anywhere else. read more

Good Food, quick delivery, and decent price. I placed a recent order the order was right; however the order was placed for Wednesday, but was delivered on Sunday (past the time specified on the order). Of course, I was not available to answer the door as the order was not due for days... As soon as I realized the order was delivered. I checked the order in case I made a mistake - I didn't. I called the driver/delivery person to inform him. Of course, the order was paid for and not delivered as ordered on Wednesday. Looks like I will have to get may Chinese food elsewhere, that is a shame. read more

Ling Express - Chinese Near Me - Brandon, Florida

This has been our local Chinese food delivery spot since moving to the area from Melbourne back in 2006. Yes, they've been here for a very long time. Delivery is fast, friendly, and inexpensive. The food would always arrive hot and fresh. We could always count on Ling Express. I think the only issue I've ever had was with the crispiness of fried chicken and shrimp in the preparations. It was never crispy, and I think it's because of the unvented plastic containers. Other than that, everything was great. With that said, I have to say I was a little disappointed with this last delivery. The fried rice wasn't cooked well. It was actually a little raw. The General Tso's Chicken had a good taste but there was no spice. I could see the red pepper flakes but it didn't taste spicy even though I had ordered a medium level. The portion was a very good size, so that has never been an issue. The pan fried noodles with jumbo shrimp tasted great. I really liked the sauce and there were plenty of shrimp. I'm not into the crispy noodles but I'm glad I tried it. The pot stickers and fried wontons were all good, but I've had better. What happened? I'm so sad. The food looks amazing in the pictures, but I have to say it's no longer the best in the area. I can't say that I ordered the wrong thing because I've had the same dish in the past. Hubby had the jalapeno beef. On the menu, it had the little pepper sign next to it signifying it was spicy. It wasn't spicy. He said it tasted okay, but not great. I've given them 4 stars before on another review site so I know it was great at one point. Maybe it was just a bad day in the kitchen. read more

I have got to stop getting drunk and ordering this stuff off DoorDash! It's absolutely too greasy for any human being to consume but it's cheap. So here I am devouring a greasy pupu platter and lo mein from ling express at 1am for the 2nd time this week due to losing power during the storm. Do not be like me and order food from ling express late night. Im sure there are way better options for Chinese takeout in the area but you can't beat $17 for enough food to feed 3-4 people with 30 mins tops for delivery time! read more

So sad because we really enjoyed the food from this place, but won't be getting food from here again. We've ordered fried rice many times before and it was the typical fried rice you'd expect with veggies, meat, etc. - it was delicious. This time around we got literally just rice (see pictures below). When we called to tell them our issue we were told: Manager: "No, you did not order chicken fried rice, just fried rice" (even though I heard when my husband ordered the man asked "what kind of fried rice would you like?" And my husband said chicken) Us: "So there's NOTHING in your rice? No veggies or anything?" Manager: "No, just rice and that's how we've always prepared it." (Definitely didn't care at all) Thanks - but if I wanted a box of brown rice I would have made some myself. Does anyone need a quart of plain rice? Let us know! read more

Typical fast food Asian. It's always ready when they say. The staff is always grateful that I chose them. This is my go to Asian fast food shop. It beats McDonald's and Burger King for about the same cost. read more

Great food, still great prices. Always fast on to go orders. They don't even waste time asking for names, they just go by your phone number. Awesome family run business I have been going to for decades. read more

I like ordering food from ling express for years now, pretty good Chinese food in the area.

Just wanted to do a quick updates as we have had delivery from Ling Express MANY times since my initial review in July 2016, delivery is always SUPER fast. The Mongolian Beef, LoMein, Pork Fried Rice, Fried Won Tons and Crab Rangoon are just a few of my faves. My favorite Chinese delivery ever, so glad we found this place! read more

Pros: people are awesome, this is my go to place since moving into this area..I have tried a handful of other places but this is the best from my perspective for takeout in the area.. they haven't ever gotten my dishes wrong and always ultra friendly.. I love their jalapeño chicken, my favorite dish.. I get it at least once or twice a week. Some of my other favorites are: bourbon chicken, chicken with green beans in garlic sauce (is how I order it)- it comes with brown sauce but I like it better with garlic, egg rolls, moo shu, my go to is definitely jalapeño chicken.. I have had some of their vegetarian dishes also, sesame tofu is pretty good but too sweet for me but that is expected for sesame sauce.. mixed vegetables is also very good! Cons: not really much of a con, since it's really a takeout place so it is expected the ambiance is not there read more

Truly I was upset when I first opened the bag it was covered in sauce all over my table, but after I tasted the food my mind totally changed the food was delicious one of the best Chinese restaurants I've had in awhile! The egg drop tasted like water but the Mongolian beef and honey chicken was really good! read more

Just okay, I spent quite a bit and ordered several dishes and the food is on the bland side. Not bad enough to throw away but bad enough to feel like a waste of money. Mongolian beef was relatively better than other items. read more

No complaints! The food was great. I would order from Ling Express again. I ordered through Door Dash and although DD took our food to the wrong address, we eventually received our order. read more

The ease of ordering online through the Menufy Website was great. Submitted an order for 4 coworkers and we were all looking forward to Chinese food. However, the food did not meet minimum expectations i.e. tasty, arrive presentable in sustainable packaging. Veggie Noodles arrived upside down in the pint and was leaking over everything else. The beef and broccoli order was also leaking and was overly salty and not spicy as requested. Very messy and did not satisfy us in the way we expected. Egg rolls seemed smaller in size. My "Nuyorican" coworker stated that this Chinese food could not even come close to what she's used to in New York. She ate 1 of her 8 chicken wings order and said she would give the rest to her relative after work. Needless to say, it's a one and done for us. read more

Used to be good... This was our go to place ten years ago, or so... Like so many places in the area that start out good, then plummet in service and quality. Egg drop soup is usually the staple that tells me the food is good or not. If they can't get it right, the rest usually follows. They cannot consistently get it right. Fried chicken wings? They are great if you can get them fresh...usually it's a refried or reheated nightmare. Shrimp with lobster sauce. No flavor, and the sauce is usually a watery mess. I've given them multiple opportunities to redeem themselves, but for whatever reason, they can't. read more

I stopped going here for a bit because the food didn't taste as good as before. Tried it again recently and it seems like they got someone better in the kitchen again. The food is good. read more

The food was good for a quick Chinese meal. I still wish there was a good sit down restaurant available but in a pinch this a good choice.

This is our go to for take out. The owners are friendly, food is delicious and serving size is plentiful . Please support this local business. They made it through Covid due to their great service and food. read more

Food was very good. We order from here often. I remember it. Food is delivered fast and hot.

Ordered dinner for my family of 4 tonight online through Ling Express's website vendor, Menufy. My son picked up the order, then picked up another item from another restaurant for just himself. When he got home, I went to get dinner set up for the rest of the family. I found that I was missing the 2 egg rolls, sauce for my sweet and sour pork, and lo mein. I paid $43.81. I called the store and advised that I wanted a refund, he laughed, and then said he would remake our food. I told him I live 25 mins from his store and I was not driving around trip of almost an hour. I would rather order a crappy pizza for us instead. He said since I ordered it online, I had to call Menufy. So I did, spoke to Tory. I explained all of this to him. He said he would have to call the store for them to authorize a refund. He said he would call me back if they did or did not authorize it. He called back a couple mins later. Said he spoke to Lee and he said he would only authorize a $13 refund. I told him that's unacceptable. He said I could call my bank to dispute the transaction. I said no. I said I was calling Lee on a 3 way call. I advised Lee this was unacceptable and I want a full refund. He laughed again. He said if I give you a full refund I am going to come to your house to pick the food up. I said fine. Once I get confirmation that it's refunded he can drive his happy ass an hour round trip to get his shitty cold food. This is the first and LAST time I will go to this place. What a joke. Literally how unfreaking professional and rude. Captain of the douche canoe. You're better off driving to China Star in Fishhawk/Lithia to get amazing food and great service for less money too! The only reason we can here is it 2 doors down from the place my son wanted. What a bad idea. (Tory was awesome btw and did a great job. Much better than other online food vendors) read more

Walked in and dude behind the clear plastic divider was on the phone. No problem, right? He saw me and didn't even acknowledge my presence. No index finger indicating he'd be right with me, no nothing. I stood there, literally staring at him and again...nothing. I then started to eavesdrop, thinking he was taking an in depth phone order. He wasn't. It was a personal call. Yeah f*** that guy and f*** that place. This place was recommended to us, so we were excited, but we were just as eager to not give him our money, when he didn't even have the decency to acknowledge us. It was empty and if he's the face of this place, it'll forever stay empty. Stay away from this place and find shops and restaurants that actually give a damn about the community they decide to set up camp in. This place thinks you owe them. Zero stars. read more

Delivery was super fast and food was nice and hot. However the chicken wings looked dehydrated and had zero meat on them. The fried rice was half brown and half white and was super dried out as well I really wanted to love this spot based off of reviews but unfortunately this time it fell short of my expectations read more

It's okay. We got shrimp fried rice - we expected to see some vegetables in there but there were none. Barely any shrimp too. Orange chicken was very soggy. read more

I have been ordering from here for six years with no problem, however, the other day, when my order arrived, and I opened it, cockroaches came crawling out of the paper bag! There was also a baby roach on my to go container! The owner DID the right thing and gave me my money back but here's the thing, if roaches are comfortable enough to go inside a to go bag, they must be crawling all over that restaurant. They truly should be shut down. read more

Friendly staff and love the Mei fun noodles . My favorite place to go when i don't know what to get

Great place for vegans. They have the best general Tso's tofu and veggie rice. I highly recommend!

Better than average Chinese food. They offer fried rice as an option with every meal. I ordered the king pap shrimp. The shrimp were big and there were at least 5 or 6 in a pint. I ordered it very spicy and it was pretty spicy, probably Thai medium or maybe a hot buffalo sauce. The vegetables and sauce were delicious. read more

We didn't have high expectations so it wasn't a surprise the food was just mediocre. The people were friendly which is nice, so we haven't given up yet, but its a big NO on the Pu Pu Platter. read more

I viewed their site and called in an order. they forgot the general tso's chicken, gave large portions when I ordered small for 2 other dishes, and charged completely different amount than on their site. called them, they blamed us for using incorrect ordering info BUT IT WAS THEIR OFFICIAL SITE! told me to bring all food back, they would take half out of large containers to make small, and would then add the general tso's chicken and charge me for it. so he wanted me to take the food, literally, from in front of my hungry family and make another trip to his store because he messed up my order and ripped me off with high prices. order elsewhere to avoid the headaches. read more

Ling Express is the best Chinese in the area. Period, end of discussion. Have been ordering from Ling for years and it is always tasty and reliable! Chicken wings are next level. Lo mein is my fav. Can't go wrong here. read more

I ordered Szechuan chicken there were maybe five pieces of chicken in the whole plate mostly onions it was my first time going there and my last, disappointment read more

The order was a total mess up. The food was gross, pork ribs were not even edible and the pork fried rice was not fresh. The wonton soup also tasted like it was a few days old. Their crab rangoons were chewy not crispy and the only food that seemed good was the sweet and sour chicken and I asked for white rice and got more fried rice , which again was awful tasting . It seems to me that they were just trying to get rid of old food. Will never order from here again!!!!!!!! read more

Best Shrimp fried rice I've found since I moved here. Delicious! This place is nothing fancy but the food is good and huge overwhelming portions! Spring rolls were very good as well, nice and fresh unlike some of those places where they've been sitting under a warmer all day. My husband had orange chicken and he said it was really good as well. Looks like we found our go to take out Chinese place! read more

Saw good reviews on Google, wish I would have passed. Ordered Hunan Chicken combo plate. Chicken didn't look like chicken, so took that out. Told them no vegetables, there was extra vegetables. Egg rolls look like they have been in the freezer and then microwaved. Currently sitting here eating rice. The can of Coke is probably the only thing I recommend. Avoid. read more

They have best food in Tampa!!! Good service, Great food!!! The place we love to order .

Excellent service wish their fried rice had veggies! Other than that food tastes great
