Sadly the reviews are accurate. I ignored the heads up indicating how the Ling's we all remember before the fire is ashes. I had to try myself as yelp can have a bad take at times. You have been warned and may order at your own risk. The white rice is the same - everything else not so good. read more

honestly the best original tasting fried rice i have had so far in Jersey. i was blown away by the flavors. And their broccoli beef sauce.. wow . Their lunch special is slightly above normal price for what u get, thats why i gave them a 4 star. But i wanna know what they use to make their meals . wheeew ‍ Good taste read more

The most disgusting pork fried rice I've ever had it was like somebody put in their mouth and chewed it up and spit it into a container absolute crap and it was expensive not worth the price going here go to your grocery store and buy a Frozen TV dinner of Chinese food it would be better read more

First time ordering takeout at Ling's Kitchen and am happy with the orders. Food seasoning and portion size is good. The orange chicken was really tasty. The wait time was pretty decent considering they had so many people coming in placing and picking up orders. They do have lunch specials so we will come next time to try other dishes. The staff is very friendly. He gave me some recommendations based because I wanted some spicy dishes. When I came home, I was surprised that there was a bag of some fried crackers and duck sauce. It was good! My kids loved it. Parking is off street and you can park on the side street if there's no spot on the main road. The place is at the corner of the block so it's not too bad. read more

The food tastes like it was thrown together..shrimp spring rolls greasy and under cooked inside, ribs very dry and almost no sauce.house fried rice along with everything else had very little flavor. Chicken wings had lots of feathers and was very greasy.. btw fortune cookies was the best part of the meal real talk!!a bowl of cereal maybe read more

Ling's Kitchen - 20. Chicken Wings - Chinese Near Me - Fords, New Jersey

Been ordering Ling's for manny years in Fords NJ . Used to be delicious never had a problem ,Decided to order today 3/18/23 it was the worst we order plain lo mein they didn't even put oil or soy sauce horrible all starchy sticking together , the General tso's chicken was so light not hot ,used to be crispy, dark and spicy. They forgot sauce for Dumplings. Chicken and broccoli should be renamed to just broccoli. Wonton chips were very greasy. read more

See all

lings has been around since i was a child in fords in the early 2000s. i used to come here after school and grab a can of soda and a pork egg roll before heading home from the bus stop. they used to be my spot. im not 100% sure if management has changed, but i do notice a change in the food. i really dont like to put bad things out there especially about my favorite places but the quality seems to have gone down? my beloved egg roll seems to always be dry and overcooked now, and i cant stand the beef and broccoli anymore. but when i do come here, i get the shrimp, pepper and onion. THAT is the one meal here that keeps me coming back. its cooked to perfection every time and the shrimp is HUGE (no head too). read more

Portions need to be better. A little bit pricey. Service is okay. Atmosphere is cold sometimes

Used to be so good when the old owners had it Kathy was so nice the new owners took over and the place has gone to hell they can never get the order right they're nasty they're rude they're ignorant and it's awful I wouldn't recommend it to my first enemy I wouldn't eat their crap if they gave it to me for free disgusting read more

Good local Chinese spot I've read some reviews that wasn't in favor of it but what can you ask for?? it's around the way Chinese food not Mr. Chow or Nobu. read more

The customer service quality has really gone down at this place. They forget things in your order when delivered, and they keep you on hold FOREVER when you call. I would give them NO STARS if I could. read more

Placed a order for pick up over the phone that in itself was a challenge! The woman taking the order was very hard to understand . Picked up my order looked at the receipt and it was what I ordered! But when I got it home the combo dinners I ordered where wrong! I ordered 1 sweet n sour chicken and 1 sweet n sour shrimp..simple right? Well they charged me for the correct dinners but they screwed up my order . Not the 1st time this happened . To many Chinese places to go to ..never going back here again! Same thing happened to my friends ..it's like they don't care not a way to run a business read more

I never had Lings before so I went in for lunch 9/23/1023 and ordered chicken wings with shrimp fried rice.it looked like the norm but it tasted so much better than most other Chinese food I've had.it filled me up and then some.i never post reviews so u know it had to be good.friendly women at the counter and fresh food served in a decent time. read more

Second time I ordered from Lings years ago it was the best around! I ordered chick egg foo young. Terrible. Small pieces of tough chicken, almost like shreds. Yesterday got crab Rangoon that tasted somewhat sour. I did eat a few and was sick throughout the night It's obvious they order cheaper food from supplier. Additionally, apparently it's up to the driver if he wants to deliver. They say they deliver to Woodbridge, asked him and I guess he was too lazy to go! Never go again! read more

Great location the food is and the staff is always friendly love the wings and fried rice

I happen to really like this place. And I've tried all the other local Chinese food. Additionally, they are VERY quick with delivery. The food tastes fresh. I recommend. Ok read more

First order, recommended by a friend, and he didn't steer me wrong. The shrimp w mixed veggies was tasty but came with only 4 shrimp - I'd pay a little more for more pieces and that's why only 4 stars. Pork fried rice was chock full of pork & goodness, and the BBQ spare ribs were meaty & delicious. Definitely will go back - I want to order their Happy Family dish (that's my favorite specialty item). read more

Horrible customer service. I order the same items for a few weeks and every week the price is different. The noodles are not fresh and the chicken tastes like rubber - will no longer order from them. Save your money!!! read more

Sesame chicken is really good. Way better quality food then other Chinese food places. Very fast delivery also they have very good lunch specials. read more

Really disappointing. The general tsaos had really nice looking chicken pieces, but not the crunch I like. We went with the fried dumplings, not the steamed, and again they were packaged in a white box so they basically steamed themselves. No crunch/fry on them at all by the time we ate. The dipping sauce was still good though. My wife got chicken chow fun and said it was flavorless- she ended up pouring the extra dumpling sauce into her dish. The ribs were dry. I had high hopes for a better meal, but this was not it. read more

I have experienced horrible customer service at this location on 6/6/18 and 5/31. The gentleman was very rude after I received my order incorrect for the second time. I asked for the manager and he was very NASTY and pretty much said get out. I had to drive back from my job, no apology and the first thing he asks me is for the soda..UNBELIEVABLE I am appalled that this type of service is allowed with so many business going out of business. Your front line matters! read more

I gotta say this place has surprised me a lot. The other day a co worker complained as to how expensive the food was... I go and check it out for myself... I ordered the chicken w/ broccoli lunch special that came with soup.... Good lord was it awesome. As far as the price I don't mind paying for good food. Worth every penny!!!! Might have been some of the best chicken w broccoli I have ever enjoyed.... Now today after thinking about the chicken w broccoli all weekend I decided to go back again.... I called , placed my order then went to pick it up. When I get back to my usual spot I find out it's beef w broccoli.... Let me just say it was damn good!!!! First time I ever had it and boy.... I was not disappointed. I love this place.... Starting to enjoy working out here... read more

The ONLY thing good about this place is the fast delivery and for having a convinient website to order from, which most Chinese take-out places do not tend to have. I always hated not being able to find a proper menu to order from when I don't have one at home and there's none online. But they have a very clean cut website that you can even order online from. But onto the food itself....... TERRIBLE...ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE. I work at a company nearby the restaurant and we had a meeting during lunchtime, which of course meant we get to order food. We decided to do something different and the delivery and order time was quick. I ordered the Roast Pork Egg Foo Young and when I ate it, it was like I just swallowed a spoonful of old oil/grease...Absolutely NO FLAVOR in the Egg Foo Young and all I literally tasted was the nasty oil down my throat. The fried rice I will say wasn't too bad, but my meal came with Hot and Sour Soup for the lunch special and that was also bland...Honeslty there was no real flavor to anything I had.... My coworker ordered Chicken and Mushroom and hers was literally drenched in soy sauce. IF anyone were to tell you this is good Chinese food PLEASE DO NOT BELIEVE THEM...The place is FAR from anything Chinese related at all. Looks like Chinese food but definitely does not taste like Chinese food at all. I'm VERY DISAPPOINTED. The worst part was that I got a HUGE MIGRAINE from the terrible grease and I normally NEVER get migraines. I eat a lot of unhealthy food, but this must've been VERY unhealthy for me to get a huge migraine... This place may be cheap and quick, but I will NEVER order from here again. I would rather order something slightly more expensive and slower for better tasting food. read more

Ling's is fantastic quality Chinese take-out/delivery. Favorites include Buddha's Delight with tofu, veggie lo mien, and garlic eggplant. For appetizers, you can't go wrong with the steamed veggie dumplings -- they season the accompanying soy sauce with scallions and sesame seeds. The egg drop soup is comfort food at its best. The woman behind the counter (I just call her Auntie) is sweet and remembers you personally. Once you become a regular, she'll make recommendations based on your tastes. Word of warning -- their Thai menu (at least, their pad thai) is as bland and flavorless as their Chinese menu is delicious and awesome. Stick to their Chinese food! read more

Ling's has great Chinese food. It is primarily set up for take out and delivery (although there are a few small tables in front of the counter). The service is very friendly and they give a free can of soda with each entree. My favorite dishes are General Tso's Tofu and the Cold Sesame Noodles. The only reason this place rates 4 stars is because restaurant seating is not available, which would elevate it to 5 stars for me. read more

The only place we go for Chinese food.....many,many years......THE BEST.....boneless ribs, always good...yum! read more

Ling's Kitchen - a coke machine and a soda cooler - Chinese Near Me - Fords, New Jersey

Not a fan of this place , very bland. I tried different plates but not my taste. Very hard to comunícate with the person taking my order.

I'm recently moved to fords and was looking for a takeout chinese place. I called here 4 times and was hung up on,being told 9:10 was to late for delivery. They close at 10. After being screamed at and asked of "I understand what I'm being told", I will never order from here or recommend any of my neighbors to order from you. read more

Used to love Ling's but ordered recently and it is not the same. Food is bland and order was not correct. Very disappointing. If you're used to the old Ling's don't waste your money. read more

Ok take out Chinese food, but very reasonably priced. Chow mein chicken is good, egg rolls are too fried and not enough stuffing and the hot and sour soup is good except for the stale noodles/crackers they give you. Nice staff with limited english but they are quick and do not mess up orders. read more

The quality of the food at Ling's is not consistent. Last time I patronized this establishment (approx 6 months ago) the food was good. Today it was pretty much a waste of my money. The dishes at this Chinese restaurant consist of standard Americanized Chinese dishes so I am perplexed by how they could not have their recipes and execution down pat. read more

It's a shame what the family did to this great place. Papa Ling built a great business and today if you could see how the family is ruining his reputation. He used to give his customers great service and good Quality and when it came to meat in your fried rice you wouldn't have to search for some he made sure you would have enough not barely any. I only still patronize Ling's because I loved Mr. Ling. They now stopped giving a comp. drink out with large orders. I'm sure it won't be long. I used to brag and tell people I knew to go there and try them, but not any more. read more

Suck If you want nasty greasy old dirty Chinese restaurant food, Then This Is the place to order from They take your money Over and over and over for years I live two 2 Blocks away And have ordered here for years Well, NO MORE read more

WORST EVER!! I order delivery of a couple of things and they forgot to send me the soda (2 liters soda plus two can soda). I call them n ask if they can sens them to me. The lady in the phone was rude and play dumb about it. She even question why i was calking about the soda?? I pay for them!! Then they told me I will send it. But NOTHING I AM STILL WAITING. DO NOT ORDER FOR HERE CAUSE THEY ARE NO PROFESSIONAL N EVEN THOUGH A SODA IS 2.50 they will no send it and keep it for them. I WILL NO ORDER FOR THEM AGAIN I WISH I COULD GIVE THEM ZERO STARS read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. I did not order but a coworker did. The food gave her food poisoning AND I watched the delivery driver verbally assault her and demand to be tipped. She asked the food to be left at the customer service desk but the delivery guy couldn't even follow that simple instruction. So if you want lings be prepared for rude staff and food poisoning read more

I think this place has the best Chinese food in the area. Never had any issues with ordering/food and the food is tasty. Guess it depends on who's in the kitchen but some nights the food is better than other nights. read more

Great food and great service. Food is fresh and they do a great job! Love the spring rolls and wonton soup.

This Lings have been here forever Ppl come from different towns. The food is the best ever Chinese food. Fast delivery. I have been getting for here way b4 the fire Yes it changed hands but withing the family. One of the owners died of cancer. The family is very politie. Love the food best always. read more

I have no idea what the last person was talking about because their pad Thai was the worse I've ever had. There is more flavor in a bowl of plain oatmeal. There was nothing spicy and just a bowl full of noodles and shrimp. Even my cat didn't even want to eat it and she'll eat everything in front of her. read more

Ordered two combination specials. Food lacked flavor. Maybe they have other specialties but would not recommend the chicken and broccoli. Very tasteless. Also the delivery driver freaked of cigarette and thus so did our food read more
