Got the normal order tonight. Chicken and broccoli, gen tsos, order for chicken lo mein and then an order of crab ragoons. Everything was alright until I went to grab some lo mein. I saw the darkest thickest black piece of hair wrapped around a piece of chicken. I called the restaurant and the first guy answered told him I found a piece of hair in the lo mein. He said oh hang on and got someone else on the phone. I told him I found hair in the chicken lomein and he said oh you want to come back and get a new one. I said no I want a refund for my lo mein. He said oh yeah sure, next time you come back we will give you a refund. Did not ask for any information just OK sure. Sounded like an empty promise. Then he went on to say we wear hats so it shouldn't happen but it still does. Like it was not a big deal. I am sorry but I do not want to find an extra hairy surprise in my food. That is not good eats. read more

Hot, fast, and only one hair. Quick with the ordering and even faster making the food. The place obviously does a tremendous amount of takeout and delivery as there were only a few tables inside. Yes, there was one hair tucked under a piece of chicken. It happens, I get it. This place was mass producing food for lots of people in the Erie area. read more

Great local Chinese spot that we order from for lunch alot. They are very consistent and orders are ready fast. I miss when they had the "scoop" deal for lunch..... hopefully it returns read more

Extremely salty (and yet bland) wonton soup with RAW wontons. YUCK! Terrible fried rice - just orange rice, with no peas, carrots, onions - nothing. Also YUCK! two tiny pieces of broccoli in the General Tsao's chicken. False advertising. DO NOT RECOMMEND! read more

Great food, great service, most favorite Chinese food joint. Great atmosphere! Will come back again!

Hands down one of the best Rangoon's around!!!! They don't skimp on the filling and the pastry shell has nice crispy edges. The dip they give you takes it over the top. You won't be disappointed read more

They have the best General Tsao's I have ever had. Also, their egg rolls are out of this world. Usually, egg rolls have more breading than what is inside. These are the first I've ever had that have more inside than breading. Tasted very fresh! read more

Love the chicken wings! Very hot crispy and fresh take out or delivery! Friendly staffing and fast service

Absolutely fabulous fresh top of the line ingredients highly recommended

The food is always hot and tasty, and the delivery people are always fast and courteous. I would recommend the orange chicken, it's absolutely delicious. read more

Insanely mediocre Chinese food. Somehow the chicken tastes like it was cooked right next to fish every single time. I've tried to give this place a chance multiple times and I'm disappointed every time. The only thing I've actually enjoyed from this place is the cheese rangoon. I will likely not be ordering from here again if I can help it. read more

Hello the Food was amazing and fresh the people working were extremely good and nice Best place ever !!!!!!!

Bad customer service, money hungry, customer comes second, says they are out of spoons/utensils but have boxes under counter for putting out on occasions, leaves customers on hold for a period of time to chit chat, dusty sign on far too right (probably will clean once they see this review), very rude and not true leadership it's like they look out for each other instead of the customer read more

Every time I come up from Pittsburgh I have to come here for the General Tso Chicken and a Shrimp Egg Roll. Area seems shady but any Chinese food I had in a shady area was FIRE!!!!! Highly recommend read more

I have ordered from Ling Ling twice (due to friends wanting to order it), and both times I've been extremely disappointed. Their crab Rangoon is severely lacking in flavor, their egg rolls were soft and had one dimensional flavor, and the chicken in the Szechuan chicken and the chicken with broccoli was so tough and chewy. You could see the striations throughout it. The fried rice was unbelievably dry and tasteless. I always give places another try but after two times of wasting money here I wouldn't go back. Based off my experience, I'd say this is some of the worst Chinese food I've ever had. read more

If I could give this restaurant 5 stars for the food I would. The main problem were the steamed dumplings. They tasted like nothing and even by the looks of it they're grey and tasteless. On the other hand, the Chicken Lo Mein was great. Really tasteful and what I would've expected the dumplings to be. The only other reason why I'm giving a 4/5 stars rating is because the delivery was extremely fast. I ordered food via DoorDash and it estimated at least 26-36 minutes for the food to arrive. The service was so fast, I got my order within 20 minutes. read more

Ling Ling - Chicken Lo Mein and steamed dumplings - Chinese Near Me - Erie, Pennsylvania

I read reviews that said this place was good. I'm here from out of town, so I checked Yelp first. I drove up and couldn't believe it. It's a dump! There are two tables and it wasn't even clean. I went inside to place an order and waited 12 minutes while the server took phone orders... After all that time without being acknowledged, I just walked out and went to Golden Wok about a mile away. The service and food at the second restaurant I chose was great! read more

Always very quick delivery, and the drivers are always very nice. Food is always piping hot when it arrives and there are always plenty of utensils, chopsticks, and sauces in the bag. Quality of food is always great. Ling Ling is the only place we will eat Chinese from in Erie. Plus, the prices are good! read more

Tired and traveling, we found the single $ Chinese on Yelp. The staff is fine and fixed an ordering error quickly. Our error, not theirs. Lisa was OK with her meal, veggie chow mein. I had the (alleged) szechuan beef was bland to the point of tasteless. The meat was extremely mushy, no chew at all. I thought I had a cut of fat without muscle. Sorry, but no more stops here. read more

Ling Ling has been my go-to place for the last 5 years. It's my favorite Chinese food restaurant across all of Erie. I appreciate that the vegetables are perfectly cooked (not raw with sauce thrown on them) which is something you don't find at other places who are pushing food out faster than you can pay for it. Something that caught me off guard was the chow mein didn't come with noodles rather a side of rice. Tasted great! If you get the pint size portion of any menu item you get a small rice (see picture) if you order extra rice they give you a pint size for $1. The delivery and counter workers are very helpful and nice. I would like to try the buffet some day! read more

See all

My favorite Chinese place in Erie, no question. The food is excellent (especially the crab cheese wontons, I highly recommend you get that for an appetizer), and even though they're always extremely busy every time we order from there, the service is really good and whether we go to pick it up or have it delivered, we don't wait a long time. read more

Ling Ling is definitely in the top three Chinese restaurants in the Erie area. My wife is a vegetarian. We order primarily vegetarian dishes to go. General Tso's Tofu! It rocks! The Lo Mein is the best in town and always tastes fresh. The staff are very nice and willing to accommodate you if you have special requests. The dining room is small, but very clean. If you want lunch on the cheap, you can take advantage of the $1 a scoop special. It's like a buffet but you only pay a buck per scoop. You can eat a whole plate for $4. Bottom line is this, how many times have you gotten stale tasting Chinese vegetables? This is the exact opposite. If you order Broccoli in garlic sauce, the broccoli is perfectly steamed, not mushy. I haven't had many of their meat dishes but the Moo Shoo chicken is good as well. Ling Ling! read more

I'm from the New York City metro area, so I'll admit that I've been spoiled by all of the amazing food options there. However, Ling Ling is definitely worth the try! This was my first Chinese meal since moving to Erie 3 months ago and I was impressed. First, the dining room was clean and I was able to serve myself hot tea while waiting. Better yet, my meal was ready maybe 5 minutes after I ordered it. I ordered a Chicken and Broccoli combo (includes fried rice and an egg roll) which was a little over $7. I'm surprised that didn't include a drink, which I'd rather have over the egg roll. As far as the food goes, my chicken and broccoli meal reminded me of home. The portion size was reasonable, the food was nice and hot, and it was delicious. I didn't have to deal with stale food or anything that tasted too salty. My friend ordered an egg drop soup and enjoyed it. I don't think she was crazy about the lo mein though. This will definitely be my go-to spot for Chinese take-out, whether it's lunch or dinner. Next time I go, I'll see if I can exchange an egg roll for a can of soda! read more

Worth a try in Erie. It's not the best but this place to date has now probably become my go to for Chinese here. Ordered the Szechuan Beef and Sesame Chicken. The beef was too chewy, the sauce was too thin, and overall not enough flavor. However, the array of vegetables and the large portion did help. The chicken is a simple staple that was a safe choice. It was too sweet for me but for those with a sweet tooth it will probably be your safety if you can't think of anything else to get. The items are not exactly reheat friendly - as with most foods, but perhaps more so here, the food becomes stale-like and everything loses its crunch and becomes lackluster. The rice is better than most places for sure, which was a good surprise. The service is really nice and fast. I was told by one of the workers that he would order the Singapore noodles, so I'll probably try that next time. read more

My favorite Chinese restaurant ! Always fresh food ' I've gone in for lunch buffet ' and have gotten a chance to try many entrees ' all very good ' . Very clean and staff are friendly and appeasing ' I love everything about Ling Ling ' and close to home . read more

Ling Ling - My beautiful granddaughter and I , - Chinese Near Me - Erie, Pennsylvania

I will say up front, I have a usual here, it's their orange beef: mild with light sauce served with white rice, and if I have some extra money I'd throw in some of their crab rangoon. The reason why I have a usual, however, is simply because when I ordered some other things, I was disappointed. Do NOT order their dumplings, the dough was literally half an inch thick, where as real dumplings are paper thin or near paper thin. It made a really bad eating experience. I feel that their fried rice is a bit bland (and yellow for some reason). I felt like if they added more soy sauce and spices like onions and garlic, it would taste as good as it does in my hometown of St. Louis. Their chicken and beef szechuan specialties are amazing, though! Honey chicken, cashew chicken, general tso, orange, etc, they put a LOT of effort into it to get the flavor balances just right, so I appreciate their effort for that. Only thing is, they tend to go a little heavy on the sauce. So, if you stick with their meat dishes, you'll be pleasantly surprised with their food. read more

the guy who works the cash register and answers the phone should be fired bc of his horrible customer service skills. the guys attitude was horrible. like at least act a little nice!! read more

We can always count on Ling Ling for good food every time we order (which is pretty often).

Great service and wonderful staff. Never had a problem with them and I would recommend them to everyone in the area. Fast delivery and even great service going in. read more

best place in erie for chinese food. always fresh and hot and tasty.

9/10 the food is delicious. Every once in a great while it's cold and tastes as if it were made earlier in the day. Ling Ling's delivery is the fastest in town. We love their shrimp egg rolls! read more

Great food! Love this place. Never been disappointed. We get delivery a lot and it always comes super hot.

As far as Chinese takeout goes, this place is awesome! The have a small dining room that is always very clean. Their vegetarian dishes are really good. I usually get the Vegetable Delight. They will also do a sweet and sour tofu if you request it, although they give it to you with the sauce on the side. The vegetable spring rolls are great too. They even have a small buffet, although I've never tried it. Minus one star for one important reason: the soy sauce packets with the takeout are bland and awful. I just keep a bottle at home, but it would be pretty disappointing if I had to use the ones they give you. read more

Their delivery is very fast, best Chinese place in Erie. Their General Tso's is really good, Lo Mein is excellent. Their sweet and sour sauce is really good and so is their cream cheese wontons. read more

Ling Ling is everything you could possibly hope and dream for when ordering takeout Chinese food. I've been a customer here for years, and I've never had a bad experience with their food, quality or service. They definitely take their food up a few extra steps from the other typical Chinese restaurants. I'd recommend to anyone -- especially their Gen. Tsao chicken or Singapore Mei Fun. read more

Great food, great service, all around best Chinese in Erie. The seafood is even great quality. Highly recommend!

We have ordered from the place a few times now and let me tell you it is a must try!!! They are very fast to take your order and fast to get it to you. We have eaten in and out. The dining room is clean and the egg rolls are crisp like they should be! I have ordered at alot of Chinese places in town and this is a must stop!!! The value is also really good to top it all off!! Like I said must try!! read more

Best chinese take-out in Erie. It's clean on the inside and very fast service! Try the cream cheese rangoons!

I love the food here. The food is not too hot, not too not hot enough, but just right. Excellent mouth feel, great portions, good prices, and an overall great value. read more
