    A different angle of the poop-laden shrimp!
    Wanda G.

    I love Ling's! I have patronized Ling's for 8 years! I have no problem with any of their food except this dirty shrimp! I almost gagged myself after having to look at it. No one wants to eat shrimp poop!

    My boyfriend & grandma love Chinese food buffets so we had to try Ling's since we just moved here & it's around town. Service here is always on top! Staff is always very attentive. The ambiance here would be a casual classic, darker scene with the lights more focused on the food. Food is always hot & ready. Doesn't take them long to refill what's low. They have a variety of seafood, sushi, noodles, chicken, pizza. It's amazing. My favorite are the little breads with sugar. But also the noodles with the mushrooms!!

    Raw oysters on the weekend. Food can be fresh but like all buffets not always. Servers are nice and friendly. Price is average.

    Worst Chinese I ever ate. Wasabi had a sour taste. Sushi all tasted the same! Boiled shrimp was the only item that tasted good

    Great food overall!…read more The food here is definitely great--lots of choices and everything tasted fresh and flavorful. You can tell why this place is popular. The service could use a little improvement during busy times, and the ambiance felt a bit crowded, but that's probably because so many people enjoy coming here. Overall, still a very good experience and worth visiting for the food!

    Honestly, I'm very skeptical about buffets and the quality of food, but this is the first buffet I…read morethoroughly enjoy and all the variety of foods they have to offer. This place is a bit far from central Houston and central north Houston, but it's such a great gem! It gets quite busy but they have a number system where you walk in, check in and get a number, and then you get called. It gets pretty busy but the line goes by fast. Parking is also a bit of a hassle as the lot is very small for the amount of people which is a downside. The Chinese food they have is so so, but the seafood is where it's at. Their crab legs are always so fresh and sweet, and rarely salty. We also love their crawfish as it's full of flavor, fresh, and always piping hot. Their sushi selection is decent and also pretty good quality for buffet sushi. The seafood reminds me of Las Vegas buffet quality. Dessert selection is ok. I just go for the ice cream and some fruit and that's pretty much it. Inside it does get pretty hectic and everything is fast paced, but that's good if you want to eat the most you can in such little time! The servers are always attentive and take away empty plates, refill drinks, and are happy to assist with anything you need. All in all, this is a great bang for your buck if you want a good variety of food with amazingly fresh seafood.

I'm not going to sit here and tell you this is the most authentic Mexican food you'll ever have. It's definitely Americanized. But you know what? The food is actually really good. We ended up coming here partly because it was a childhood staple for us and partly because a TikToker @Ugh_Madison, spent an entire day here in one of her videos and it reminded us how much we used to love this place. The line was almost out the door when we got there but somehow we barely waited. The staff moved everyone through quickly and the whole place ran like a well oiled machine. The restaurant was clean, the service was amazing, and food kept coming out fast. Flavor wise everything was very savory and satisfying. My absolute favorite thing was the chicharrón. It was honestly delicious and tasted the most authentic out of everything we tried. Our other favorites were the white chicken enchiladas, the tamales, and of course the sopapillas. The price is honestly great for how much food you get and they also have a surprisingly good non alcoholic drink selection. Overall it was such a fun nostalgic experience and the food still holds up. I'll definitely be back and next time I'll be ready to raise that flag again!!!! Gracias a Pancho's !!!!

The second time I visited, I had the Hong Shao Rou with mushrooms (Braised Pork Belly) to-go, not a huge fan of takeout and this didn't disappoint and it was good. The takeout team member was pleasant enough. They feature an open kitchen with two tops closer to the wall/glass and larger tables more toward the middle of the restaurant. From the outside it features the traditional Chinese architecture with western building base. I look forward to yaksying the rest of the menu this year.

But the inconsistency has been an issue for me, and the flavors aren't as good as they once were. Dishes I regularly ordered like Kung Pao Chicken, Mongolian Beef, Japanese Egg Tofu, and Honey Walnut Shrimp haven't stood out as much as of lately. Dishes like Szechuan Spicy Chicken is still one of my favorite, and Garlic Snow Pea Leaves are delicious when in season. Bamboo House still holds its place as great spot for group dining. The portion is generous, prices are fair, and overall a solid restaurant that's still worth recommending.
