Pretty solid spot! Dumplings had good flavor and order process was easy enough. The soup dumpling wrapper was a little on the thicker side but I really enjoyed the crispy bottom and the sauce. The cucumbers are fire. Ube latte boba was perfectly sweet. read more

Dropping daughter at college. This is in a big food court. Cool atmosphere. The dumplings and buns were okay as were the drinks. Service hmm I think they work hard but not efficient. Took long and got skipped perhaps someone ordered ahead. But for fast casual it wasn't fast except the drinks. Dumplings were good but I left hungry for what I paid. Probably won't go back. read more

Tried this dumpling house for lunch. They are located inside Armature Works. Menu has four types in addition to other Asian food items. We had the pork dumplings which were delicious. They were spicy, like eating moderate hot wings. The pork eggs rolls were very good. We also tried the steamed buns, good but too much dough. Everything is made fresh while you wait. There are a couple of tables to eat at. read more

The food was good, the workers were very nice, and there are plenty of places to sit since this restaurant is a part of the food hall at Armature Works. My favorite was the boba tea. read more

34 minutes for two 6 counts of dumplings is pretty obsessive. Wasn't even really busy & then it took a bit to get one of the employees attention, because they were talking in the back. read more

Super limited menu in my opinion. Couldn't really settle on anything. I get that they're in a small space but the menu still seems limited. Service was interesting. There was a young lady at the register who took our order and after a while she had to run to make drinks too. Seems like they could do with some more help in the service area. The tea was just ok, but considering the menu it's not something I would go back for. read more

Don't do it. This a review for delivery (I ordered on DoorDash). My food did arrive well-packed and on schedule, so those are the reasons for the 2 stars. I ordered the pork dumplings and the dan dan noodles. The food was edible, but it was lukewarm on delivery, and none of it tasted fresh. The dumplings had very stiff wrappings, indicating that they were not fresh. The noodles were incredibly soft/overcooked. The flavors weren't bad, but they weren't authentic. The spiciness of the noodles was not mala. I had a craving and saw that Ling's was reasonably nearby. I ignored a lot of the reviews because they had more to do with taking a long time for an order, and as this was for delivery, I wasn't very worried. However, the food isn't good. And that's not acceptable. read more

Met up with friends at Armature Works and tried this spot. While the food was good it took waaaaaaaaaay too long to prepare. Are they actually slaughtering the cow in the back to make bulgogi? Who knows, but for a kiosk with no line that wait time was unexceptionable. read more

Was super excited to try this new dumpling place in armature Works. We love dumplings and have been looking forward to this. We started off with the smash cucumbers salad, which had very little flavor. We got the ginger shrimp dumplings and honestly, they tasted like they were not even cooked. The dough of the dumpling was super hard and undercooked and they were cold when we got them. We honestly couldn't even eat these. The girl working the front was really nice and it was pretty fast service. I am willing to go back to try their soup dumplings or noodles but do not have high hopes and would honestly not recommend anything else. read more

I wanted it to be better, I really did! The lady was super nice and very friendly which gave me high hopes. However, the service is where Ling's performance peaked and it was downhill from there. I ordered a Thai Tea and pork soup dumplings. The Thai tea was okay but very watered down. I also requested light ice, which did not happen. The flavor on the soup dumplings was fairly good but 2 of 6 dumplings had already broke before I had a chance to eat them and 2 others had dry, stiff, almost burnt bottoms. Definitely not the meal I was hoping for but I guess they can't all be winners. read more

I almost never leave food behind, but after two dumplings I tapped out. Love the idea of building your own and choosing your sauce, and toppings but the dough was chewy and stale. The pork inside also lacked flavor. The extra hot chili oil was the only redeeming part , spicy and flavorful, but not enough to make up for the rest. read more

Ling’s Dumplings - Pork dumplings - Bubble Tea Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I wish I had checked Yelp first but it was one of those deals where we were hungry and my son picked it because he likes dumplings and you can just tell, it's poorly managed. I will give them this, it was a Sunday and Armature Works was busy but they didn't have a particularly long line and yet, it still took forever! I found it to be very expensive as well. 10 dumplings for $20 seems a bit much especially when it took nearly 30 minutes and looked very lackluster. The food was okay and the staff was nice enough but seemed to be working in slow motion and a bit discombobulated and their work space was messy. Seems as though the food is made in the back and just drinks and garnishes and packing up in the area I am referring to but it didn't instill much confidence. read more

I'm not sure why this place has such low ratings, I thoroughly enjoyed my trip here! We had great service and even a funny moment with the woman making the food and calling out the orders. I tried a fruit tea and it was so good, not too sweet and very fresh! I also had these amazing beet dumplings!!! Whew, I could've probably ordered so much more from this place but we wanted to try other places too. Highly recommend!! read more

Came on 1/30 for lunar new year event at Armature so they were pretty busy. We got a 10% discount coupon from the event (red envelope). Ordered dan dan noodles and soup dumplings (6 ct for $12.95). Took my name and phone number but gave no receipt. Said I'd get a text when the food was ready. That's nice so we can continue walking around. Soup dumplings were small, similar to those you'd get frozen (from Asian grocery). They were definitely juicy, but I wouldn't consider them soup dumplings. I honestly think they could pass for soup dumplings if the meat filling was smaller and there was more soup inside. I'd at least consider them mini soup dumplings. Anyway they were yummy still. Dan dan noodles are not what I expected. I've only had dan dan noodles twice and from different restaurants but I don't think either of them had the noodles that creamy. These from Ling's were covered in a peanut-y cream sauce almost. Unusual favor and noodle texture to me. The flat thin noodles were also a surprise as I was expecting the thicker round noodle. They weren't bad, but the strong peanut cream flavor had be thinking it was more of a frozen PF changs tv dinner. Service was simple and straightforward. Of course a beautiful day at armature had me feeling like I wasn't waiting long for food as well. Would I go back and pay those prices for what I got? Probably not. read more

Located in Armature Works (Tampa Riverwalk). Ordered the chicken kimchi dumplings ($11.95) and the pork & beef soup dumplings ($12.95). I personally was not a big fan of the kimchi dumplings, but the soup dumplings were amazing! There is a little bit of a wait for the soup dumplings since they are prepared fresh upon order, but I had the time so I did not mind. They do offer a 'build your own' dumpling basket which allows for customers to customize their dumplings! There is also an assortment of drinks and boba to choose from as well! While I am not a fan of the price for the portion you get, I would reccommend for anyone wanting to try some dumplings! read more

Well executed and authentic dumplings with creative and innovative flavors and combinations. I went for the beef bulgogi (6 dumplings per order) with a hot chili oil, peanuts and sesame seed sauce. While the color of the dumplings were off, the combination of all of the flavors really worked together. Can be eaten as an appetizer or a main meal. It was delish. I would return... read more

Ling’s Dumplings - Classic Beef Bulgogi Dumplings - Bubble Tea Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I have to say for this place to be in a pretty popular area in Tampa I did not expect my taste buds to be so excited and happy: I ordered the ginger shrimp dumplings with the scallion spicy aioli, scallion lemon aioli on the side and cilantro scallions and a little bit of chili flakes on top when I got my order, I actually put the scallion lemon aïoli on top and when I tell you that it set my entire taste buds to open up is an understatement. The dumpling itself is crunchy in the right spots, but soft when you wanna chew it and it's juicy and all of the flavors combine are just bursting in your mouth. I will say I definitely enjoyed every single bite. It was a very good surprise. The ambience of course is very busy because it is inside of the Tampa amateur works market however it is worth the trip if you do come here I definitely recommend it! read more

This is a newer spot in Armature Works. Hubs and I decided to make an early date for lunch to try it out on Father's Day. It's a walk up and order place and they text you when your order is ready. Staff seemed bored when we walked up. I decided on the beef bulgogi dumplings which from the description sounded good. I love Korean food and bulgogi so it's a win for me :) think again! Not sure if they actually make these fresh the day of or not, I wanna say they do given the steamers inside the place. It tasted nothing like bulgogi. Hubs is Korean and even agreed. They had so much topping on it also that it just drowned the dumplings. And I'm not sure if it was the fact that they were sitting in the sauce that made them soggy to the point where the entire bottom of the dumplings were falling off or if it was just poor quality of the dumpling itself. Because I've had my fair share of dumplings and I've never had that happen! I just cannot recommend this place. We paid over $30 for 2 containers of 6 dumplings. And they were horrible. read more

Amazing dumplings. Lots of options for create your own. The chili oil was definitely hot and smothered my dumplings. I definitely would want to go back and try the different flavors and kinds of dumplings they have. I had a chilled noodle which was helpful to cool my mouth down from the chili oil. read more

The chicken kimchee dumplings were really tasty and flavorful. The chili oil and kimchee together were delicious! The service was very great. Friendly staff.

We went on a Monday night ordered the cucumber salad, beef and pork dumplings. Staff was nice however the food was pretty subpar. The cucumber salad hardly had any flavor to it and dumplings both pork and beef tasted like they were possibly microwaved from frozen. The dough was very slippery & the dumplings themselves didn't have much flavor to them either. Also ordered the Thai tea which was very watered down Most likely won't be back. read more

Y'all, I wanted this to be great but it's just very average. Lots to choose from but I ended up with soup dumplings because I order those wherever I go! Unfortunately, they didn't have much broth at all and were nothing to write home about. Also, my husband can usually eat dumplings with his allergies, but apparently all of their dumplings have milk in them so he could not. I'm wondering what they're using that other places do not that would make milk an ingredient in every dumpling. I would consider trying some of their other, non-soup dumplings in the future but hopefully they get it together soon. read more

Disgusting over seasoned food. Long wait to both place order and receive food. High prices. Avoid!!

Order at your own risk, we waited an hour for our food and it never came out. Checked in with the worker around 30mins in and they said they would text us. At the 1 hour mark, they once again asked for the order name and it seems they lost our ticket completely. We didn't even want the food anymore and asked for a refund. We were seated near the store and saw others waiting 30+minutes just for drinks. There are so many better options in the area, don't waste your time! read more

Went here during lunar new years festival, so it was busy and crowded, but the food still came out quick. The soup dumplings were good flavor wise, but I would have loved to have more soup in them so they can really explode when you bit into them. They also tasted almost identical to some frozen soup dumplings I've bought at Costco multiple times, so maybe they're just frozen? The Dan Dan noodles were just okay. They're very very peanut sauce flavor forward. The peanut flavor was very over powering over any other flavor besides some mild spice. The portion sizes were good though I probably wouldn't come back considering the prices are pretty high for what you get. read more

Lings has been on my to-do list since they opened. I visited recently and tried the beef and the chicken kimchi dumplings. Loved the beef dumplings way more than the chicken ones. The chicken ones had kimchi which was ok but needed an extra kick of something. The beef dumplings sadly were cold. Like they had sat out from a previous order and been given to me. The flavor was great but def a missed opportunity on a piping hot dish. Unfortunate because they let you know at ordering that it will be made fresh and take about 10 minutes. The beef dumplings also could have used a sauce they had their own toppings which were nice but needed to be dunked. Will come back to try the shrimp dumplings next time read more

i had an excellent experience at ling's with a friend. i ordered the pork scallion dumplings and my friend asked the staff to surprise him with their favorite flavors: mine were delicious and so were his! they tasted freshly made and their chili crisp was really good. we waited less than 10 mins for the food to be made to order and they hit the spot. the orders were filling but nothing too heavy. we didn't eat near the stand, we took it outside, but it looked like there was a small nearby seating area. i'll definitely come back for this if i'm in armature works again! read more

Armature is a great place for when you and your people want to have options for what you'll each eat. I went with Ling's because I'm always interested in Asian food. I ordered the Dan Dan Noodles. It was a little wait but nothing too crazy. They looked really yummy with all the toppings and bokchoy. The noodles had good texture but the dough itself was lacking and bland. Of course everything on top helps but it takes effort to really incorporate it and even then the blandness of the noddles come through. But it was filling. I ended up eating the whole dish (I thought I would only eat half). Overall, it was ok, but not great. I may or may not eat here again. I'm definitely not going out of my way for it. read more

We got the soup dumplings and the ginger shrimp dumplings. The soup dumplings had very little broth in them, some with none. They also all were in little tin cups that they stick to. This means you can't put it in your mouth while, you have to tear it all apart with a spoon or chop sticks making a complete mess to eat. The shrimp dumplings had a cool purple color, but nothing really in the way of taste. They were bland. Was excited to hear the place was opening in Armature Works, but will skip it going forward. read more

As someone who enjoys soup dumplings I couldn't even finish the first one. It wasn't fresh, absolute soggy mess and the meat inside was basic to say the least. Going to the Asian market and buying frozen soup dumplings would be a lot better. read more
