I used to go here as a child and it was excellent. I went back for the first time in a long time yesterday. Maybe my standards have changed, but this food was disgusting. I eat Chinese from my local Chinese place a couple times a month. Everything here that I ate didn't taste good and the spring rolls and fried rice tasted like it was cooked from a frozen foods section. I would never go back here and would never recommend this buffet. read more

So first I want to start off on a good note. The place was quaint, quiet yet busy. The dining room was about 40% capacity during lunchtime. The food was fresh and hot. There was very little variety. You had your typical lo mein noodles and Chinese fried rice along with white rice. But here's the part that got me. They didn't have any seafood other than cold shrimp on the salad bar. No fish, no beef. And how many ways can you make chicken? They had at least eight different varieties of chicken. And they only had all vegetable sushi topped with avocado, which can you really even call sushi? You pay first and then get seated. They have you sanitize, wear gloves and a mask before they let you to the Buffet. I went to the restroom and to my amazement there was no commode. Only a sink and a urinal. I don't know about y'all but I got business to do after a Chinese buffet. I will say, the place was very clean. They are constantly wiping down the buffet, tables and chairs. Oh and by the way, the staff was not very friendly at all. Even the one that revealed he can speak English. I took a picture of my food plate at the table, one of the bathroom and one of the outside awning. I tried to take pictures of the Buffet bar and I got yelled at. Literally yelled at. read more

See all

Hope everyone likes chicken as it's the only thing made 7 ways and no beef, pork,or fish, shrimp.. As result of the pandemic, waitresses serve you foods from buffet. Why ?? Just ditch the buffet and order from menu to table. read more

Another Geneva New York restaurant that cannot open to its schedule on the door. It says 11:30, people pull up and the place is locked and no food is ready. Is there any place in Geneva for lunch that isn't $30 a plate? Check this off my list like Dennys. read more

This place use to be a lot better. We went today for lunch and got there soon after opening. There was five of us, 2 adults and 3 children, and we spent over $56 to just get in. The food looked like it had been sitting there for a while already. Every thing was either extremely greasy, extremely dry and hard, or extremely gross. There was barely anything that was edible. We will definitely NOT be back again. The only reason it's getting 1 star is because I have to. If there was an option for no stars I would be giving that instead. read more

This Buffet didn't have as big a selection as I am used to in the Hudson Valley or North Carolina but it had most basic items. And all the hot items were hot including the soups. Hibachi grill choices were also a couple less than I'm used to. The service was standard Chinese Buffet. Prices were a dollar or two more than I'm used to but not the $30 implied in another review. Decor is simple but you're here for the Buffet not decor or great ambiance. Knowing that a dish or two might be available, everything else is good. read more

Absolutely terrible, service was bad, are waiter blew her nose on her glove didn't even wash her hands and never changed her glove either and walked around collecting drinks and plates with snot on her hand. I DO NOT RECOMMEND COMING HERE AT ALL!! read more

Surprisingly large place. Clean. Staff was efficient if aloof. Food trays were refilled frequently. Large selection on 2 buffets. Food was hot and tasty. Multiple chicken dishes, a few beef and a few shrimp offerings. Small selection of sushi along with mostly ignored Mongolian barbecue station. One whole buffet was desserts including ice cream, cakes, fresh and canned fruits, cream puffs and puddings. Dinner for 2 was under $25.00. read more

I love to get take out so easy I don't agree that they don't give senior discount only if you eat in

My favorite Chinese Buffet in the area! There are many different chicken options. There are times some of the dishes are empty or not hot and they may not be replaced quickly. Many drink options, cold & hot, as well as hard self-serve ice cream, in addition to a few other desserts and fruit. Love the sugar rolls!! read more

This Chinese buffet is pretty good. It's not terribly expensive. The food is passable. It's not fancy or amazing but you won't leave hungry. I recommend it for a quick lunch or dinner stop. Try the hot and spicy chicken. read more

Ling Ling Chinese Buffet - Great Chicken on a stick! - Chinese Near Me - Geneva, New York

I like it. It's, you know, not going to be the absolute highest-quality food, but for being a buffet it's actually surprisingly diverse and made of relatively high-quality stuff. For eight dollars, you can't go wrong. Every chicken dish you can imagine- try them all, but their BBQ was especially good. Lots of "atypical" Chinese/American dishes to sample from. Not as many seafood dishes as you might expect (only one fish?), but overall quite a few choices of main dishes. Lo mein is much better than you'd expect. Don't leave without trying their fried dough at the first little section. My favorite part. They have ice cream for dessert. Also- this may not count for much, but I dropped my wallet on the floor, and the staff noticed and brought it right to me, cash intact. I take this as a sign of a very honest establishment. read more

Now I'm the kind of guy that likes his Chinese buffet, and it's good to know that where ever I go there is always a Chinese buffet in the area to satisfy my cravings. For Ling Ling Chinese Buffet, I feel that this is another one of the best options to go to if your into Chinese buffets, especially if your into chicken. Now chicken is my favorite food in the world and this buffet offers the best selection of chicken of any Chinese buffet I've been to. From BBQ chicken, sweet and sour chicken, chicken on a stick, spicy chicken, chicken wings and chicken nuggets, this place is a chicken lovers dream. They still offer standard Chinese buffet foods like egg rolls, fried rice and lo mein but the chicken here is the star here. The service here is just about as good as any other Chinese buffet. They take you to your table, give you your drinks, take your empty plates, give you your fortune cookies and you go up to the desk to pay. Nothing particularly great but straightforward and decent enough. Ling Ling Chinese Buffet is another great option to any body who's looking to eat Chinese buffet. The selection is mostly chicken dishes but if your like Chinese buffet chicken then this place comes highly recommend, and for anyone else who like Chinese buffets, then this is still a great place to satisfy your Chinese food cravings. read more

Disgusting. This was the number one worst place I have ever had the displeasure of stepping foot into. Every thought I had regarding buffets came to fruition practically the moment we walked in. We paid 20 bucks, we were shown to our table, we grabbed a plate, walked around the three gross feeding troughs, I picked a few things that looked the least gross and took our seat. One bite in we looked at each other and said, "let's go". On the way out i stopped at the cashier to find him on his personal computer. I told him what I thought and we left to never return. read more

This is the only chinese buffet in the area that I am aware of and it's not bad. I think that the food, relative to the price that they charge is pretty consistent. Let's face it, Geneva is a not a rich city with tons of people that could support a fancy chinese buffet with high prices. Given the town that it's in, it's not bad. Not to mention, who goes to a Buffet for a fancy meal anyway? The whole concept is to have as much food as you want, and this place caters to that in direct proportion to their fee. read more

Food not being held to temperature. There on 9/18/18 about 1:00p.m. For $9.66 for lunch just plain disappointed. No one manning the Mongolian grill that I saw the entire time I was there. Just your average Chinese buffet that could be anywhere in the U.S. read more

Food is usually good but bathrooms are gross. Most staff seems unfriendly, not all. Price is average but it is all you can eat.

They need to close for a week and clean. Bathroom smells like a barroom, and the seats are coated with funk. Clientele is welfare central, but then again it's a buffet. read more

10 years ago we ate here and a cockroach crawled across my table. I immediately called over a waitress who said sorry and swatted it away. So, after 10 years they haven't been shut down, so we decided to give it another try. Bad idea. I was vomiting all night long. Never again! read more

Loads of passably good greasy Chinese food being eaten by massively obese people who seem to be drawn to these kind of places. Not a bad lunch really, if you're feeling really hungry and in the mood for cheap Chinese, but nothing to write home about. read more

Cheap and delicious. You have a lot of choices here - dishes, fruits, soup, sushi, ice cream and drinks. You can also pick some fresh vegetables and ask them to make the dishes you like with the flavor you choose. read more

This is the best Chinese buffet in the area. Food is fresh, and they also have Mongolian BBQ. Price includes a soft drink and for 2 people it was about 20 bucks. They have options for kids (like pizza) if the kids don't like Chinese food. Definitely worth the money. read more

The food is ok, but they don't keep up on sushi, and some things look like they sat out all day. There's rarely room to park anywhere, people are packed in like sardines, and because of that it isn't a real pleasant place to eat. read more

Honestly, you're paying like eight dollars for an all-you-can-eat buffet. Don't expect anything gourmet or impeccable service--you get what you pay for. Personally, I've never had a bad experience here. Kids love it--and if you have a kid that was like me and could out-eat an adult at a discounted rate, that's some real bang for your buck. You won't leave hungry, that's for sure. read more

Pepsi products were good but as far as food goes , I've had better food at a gas station. 11.49 per person which is reasonably priced if food was decent which was not . Service is minimal but was decent . Definitely will not return read more

Worst ever. Food cold, dumplings cold and tough, no won tons in soup, many dishes unfilled. Was here a few years ago and it was good. We will not come back. It was dinner time and there were several people so no excuses! read more

Incredibly disappointing. Poor selection, dried out food with lack luster flavor. Even the sushi was so old and dried out it crumbled completely when grabbed. There was only one vegetarian dish and the broccoli was wilted and burnt. There was no redeemable qualities at the buffet at all. read more

The food was good, average Chinese buffet taste. Staff was unfriendly and that's putting it nicely. My father asked where the bathroom was and all he got was a general wave it the direction it was in, no words were said. You pay first and have to get your drink yourself. Staff acts like just showing you to your seat is a bother. Lots of seating and few parking spots. It gets really busy easily and the area around the buffet tables is small so moving around while getting food can be difficult. read more

This used to be my favourite walk in buffet I would visit weekly with my girlfriend, (if not once, then twice weekly). But now my mind has changed, on March 31st I waltzed in at 9:30 p.m. My girlfriend is talking to me about how it was 5 dollars at this hour because it is so late and they are getting rid of the last of the food for the day. So unless you ask for a fresh food to be brought out, (which they will say okay but must think that you will get tired after waiting a half hour to eat something that you'll leave) Oh and let me say that the 2 of us got charged in total of $25.92....Never have I been charged over 19$ out of the 20+ times, also leave a 3 dollar cash tip almost every time before I left.....(Not even at lunch or dinner hour were this expensive from my past experiences) So we sit, the 3 main items that I eat most (barbecue chicken, le mein , and dumpling all litterally 1 dried item, the noodles sitting there litterally half hard and crunchy. my girlfriend's fries were cold and her sugar bread ball was hard and broke apart in crumble when she tried to cut it with a butter knife. we asked if they could make some more and they said "yes right away, will be right out. Now we waited 43 minutes and asked again and this mid 20's girl said, "sorry we closing in 20, we can't make no more" which had been rediculous! I got upcharged for nothing and I've eatin half of a barbecued chickin on a stick ((my girlfriend ate nothing)), then the same chick who told us "right away, sorry no more, and upcharged us with a $25.92, asked for me to come again soon." Just an awfull expiriece, could even get my money back. read more

Rude staff, food taste was HORRIBLE, High prices, poor food selection. Floor/carpeting gross looking. Never will we go back

i find it weird that people review this place. i always get take-out from here and its always fresh and tasty. its a buffet - your not getting waited on, the food is sitting in tin bins on top of hot water of course of the food is going to be dried out, over cooked or whatever. (and not to mention you have other patrons playing around with and breathing all over everything) ORDER TAKE OUT read more

My wife and I have eaten here a number of times and have found the food to be consistently good. The price is a bit high so we don't eat here as often as we'd like. We see many of the same people working here and they are delightful. A very good Chinese buffet, with a good selection of dishes to choose from. read more

Well, Spence and I made our annual trek to Ling Ling today, hoping the food had improved. Nope.... Although they have a large buffet with many items, they are almost all chicken dishes. Today they had one beef dish, one fish dish and one dish made with Italian sausage (really???). All the rest were chicken. No pork. The pot stickers were OK. The rest was drek. The tea was just hot water. Not even any jello!!!! I guess we will just have to wait til next year and try it again. Maybe by then a new Chinese buffet will open up with bette food. read more

Horrible! Worst buffet I have ever been to. Staff was not friendly. Selection was not good and many of the food trays were empty for way too long. At one point there were 9 empty trays of food. I will never go here again and encourage anyone looking to avoid this place. read more

the price is high and the food is so salty i could not eat any of it..and they are the only chinese buffet in town...they and main moon suck..i will drive to auburn if i want good chinese food they are the best, next to radio shack... read more

We were there yesterday and were very disappointed. First off, it was dirty. The carpet was covered in crumbs and wrappers. I noticed a chair with a lot of crumbs on it, too. Mine was wet. The rice cooker hadn't been cleaned in quite some time, from the looks of it. The staff was surly and barely acknowledged our presence. The food was bland and not very flavourful. I would not recommend it, except maybe to the health unit. Sorry. read more

Very good and delicious, a lot of choices, the food is fresh , I come restaurant all the time
