Ling Long Xuan Restaurant

I didn't feel like cooking one Tuesday night so we decided to order from Ling Long Xuan for takeout. The menu looked pretty promising, with a number of classic Cantonese dishes. It wasn't your typical Chinese takeout menu. Unfortunately, the food was underwhelming. Here is everything we ordered: Yang Chow Fried Rice - this was the best dish. It hit the spot as a comfort food Chicken Lomein - a pretty solid lomein but a little bit too salty. I liked that they put bamboo shoots in there Pork and Preserved Egg Congee - this might be the worst congee I've ever had. It was so watery and flavor-less, and what little pork pieces were in there, tasted really old. If I didn't know it was congee, I could have easily mistaken it for dish rag water. Avoid this for your own good Scallion pancake wrapped with beef - this wasn't bad but also a bit too salty Probably would not order from here again, unless it's just to get some of the fried rice.

For anyone who likes relatively authentic Chinese food, Ling Long Xuan is worth a visit! I came here specifically to try their Mapo tofu dish because I’m a fan of it. And I’d say it was better than average: I’m used to ones that are bland, or too oily, or very heavy on the peppercorns. While this version does have sauce it didn’t seem overly oily and seemed to mix well over rice. And that’s all I tried haha - I ordered 2 dishes of this because friends were curious too! If I’m around area and craving Chinese food I would give one of their other dishes a try too. Note that they are currently closed for indoor dining. Parking seems to be street. And bonus props for not changing their name to something more easily pronounceable or recognizable! At least they’re true to what they’re about.

New owners! Finally a good Chinese dine in restauran in Jersey City! Very clean, well decorated, family friendly, small/big tables…The service was great. You can sit, relax, enjoy a good meal with friends or family.

Today, me and my husband were craving for q hinese food , so we both work around the area and decide to stop at ling long xuan restaurant. which I highly recommend ! the food was delicious, was served really fast , the restaurant it’s a clean environment, and the stuff are very nice from the owners to the serving people.

I ordered a half crispy duck today. This is what I got. The owner insisted this is half duck and refused to refund. She claimed that she bought the duck from other provider and this is what half duck should look like.What’s more ridiculous is that the owner asked me to consider her situation. If I asked for refund she can not make money.

Ordered delivery from here yesterday and it was great! Arrived super fast and everything was still very warm. My favorite of the bunch is the spicy fried chicken wings but all the spicy dishes were delicious. The noodles were a bit bland compared to others I’ve had so I recommend their spicy dishes more. The pork buns are a great value and still taste very delicious reheated next day. The dishes with a lot of spicy sauce like the mapo tofu did spill a bit but the plastic bag kept most of the mess contained so it wasn’t a big problem. Definitely will order again and try more of their menu!

Great taste after their renovation! Clean and delicious but a bit pricier than other Chinese restaurants in Newport

Only the garlic eggplant meets my standards. Lamb with scallions is a failure… Compared to other Chinese restaurants in Jersey city I don’t recommend. :

Heard good things about this place, so I ordered 4 different dishes, Mapo tofu, Gerneral tso chicken, Ho fun, Fried rice, and came with two rice boxes. All of them were just ok. I liked Ho fun, but it was very greasy - I could see oil at the bottom of the container after finishing the noodle. Fried rice was bland, our least fav. Mapo tofu had a quite strong mala flavor, and there were some big chunks of peppercorns, which ruined the taste even more.

Outstanding meal, delivered quickly! The chicken is beyond delicious and at a spice level that is very tolerable, don't be afraid to try it. Also very much enjoyed the lamb! Definitely give this place a try, absolutely will order again.
