Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

Hmm, ate here one day and it didn't taste the same as before, maybe it was an off day, but the oyster chicken wasn't as good as I remembered. It was still good though, but nothing I will crave for.

Ordered the orange chicken and chow mein. The orange chicken was so so. Some parts were good, and other parts tasted like it was on the steam table all day. Would give it a shot again but still prefer Panda Express. Sorry mom and pop!

My cousins from the Mainland wanted to go to Cheng's to get some Crispy Chicken with oyster sauce but they were closed so we went to their sister restaurant, Ling's. We got there when they opened and we were the only ones doing table service, everyone else were doing take out orders. Haha felt as if we had our own private party. The last time we got food here, the chicken was overcooked. Very disappointing. Well today we got Crispy Chicken with Oyster and Lemon sauce on the side, Char Siu, Dai Chop Wui with Cake Noodles and Egg Foo Young. All I can say is REDEMPTION! Chicken was perfect, Char Siu was bold in flavor with a nice balance of meat and fat. I'm sorry but fat is flavor, haha! Everything else was just great and nothing bland. The cook sure did know what he/she was doing. I'm really glad the food came out great today. We were all stoked and satisfied. I wish they'd be more consistent but other than that today's experience is the reason why their crispy chicken with oyster sauce is a must have!!!!

Made a phone order for 3 orders of roast pork. I got to the restaurant possibly 15-20 min later and no order placed!! So I decided to still make an order. I was told it would be about 5-10 minutes && I waited almost 30 minutes for my order! Absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable. The worker's attire is not pleasing as well. Very very slow service. My advice, just DON'T DO IT.

Lunch portions were huge! Cheap 10 gaugee for $4.50 I ordered the chow mein with char Sui and crispy chicken with oyster sauce and lemon sauce i couldn't decide lol (lemon was better tho) My BF ordered the cake noodle (he said it was different) char Sui and roast pork (he loved it!) Good service, restaurant and bathroom was clean.

I ordered saimin, 1 piece of lup cheong, 1 piece of fried won ton, and a sprite. That came up to about $8; not bad. I ate in. I cut up the piece of lup cheong and put it in my saimin. It wasn't as good as I thought it would be, but that's probably my fault. The saimin noodles were a little over cooked (mushy), but tasted good. I liked that there were 3 different kinds of cabbage (and a lot of it!) in the saimin for garnish. I was sad that there was no green onion included. There were a few pieces of char sui in there, but they didn't really taste like anything. I have to say that the fried won ton was really good. I noticed that a lot of people were ordering fresh take-out entrees rather than selecting items already out to make up a plate. I thought it was weird that some of the ready-made items were filipino-looking like pork and peas, and adobo. When I walked in I could smell lemon chicken. Maybe I'll order that if I go back to this restaurant.

I honestly can't remember what I had. I think it was roast pork (w/fried skin) and char siu (the other roast pork). Whatever it was, it was good. And they give plenty of food. My brother goes there at least once a week. Unfortunately I won't be going again until my next vacation. My family, including my brother, told me to try the oyster chicken. Reading the reviews here tells me the same. It looks like that will have to wait until next time.

After Driving all over Hilo in search of this restaurant (cause we saw it on a Hilo food blog) we learned how many chop suey houses there were similar sounding to Ling's. There was a Leungs, Lungs?... and one other place. Anyways, that first night we gave up looking and settled for a drive-inn. The next night I was still obsessed and we finally found the place (we were tourists, what can I say?) I heard that the thing to order is the oyster sauce or lemon chicken. But...since we had fried chicken the night before, we ordered something else. Seafood Noodle Soup & Combo Plate: Sweet Sour Pork, the red braised pork ( I forgot the name), Shrimp with veggies, and steamed rice. The soup was good and full of Shrimp and Calamari, it had imitation crab and cabbage and other veggies also. The broth was tasty, but i wish that there had been more soup to the amount of noodles and seafood in the large bowl. The mixed combo plate was very delicious. The shrimp vegetable stir fry had a very nice flavor, and everything was cooked perfectly. The sweet sour and red pork were very tender and yummy. All the sauces were so yummy, not a grain of rice or drop of sauce was wasted. For the 3 of us, we spent under $18 including the tip. I don't know why I ordered two seafood dishes, but we were really happy and satisfied. Now that I know where this place is, definately going to try their oyster sauce chicken next time I'm in Hilo.

"Local style" Chinese food done right. PLAIN & SIMPLE. I ordered the Oyster Chicken. Forgot about how BIG the portion is for the regular order. Bonus - had leftovers for later that night. :) My FAVE Hilo restaurant for Oyster Chicken - hands down.

Couldn't finish their food. Maybe the worst plate lunch I've ever come across. Super fatty pieces of pork. Fried rice was flavorless mush. Lemon chicken was more like thin strips of jerky with a dipping sauce. Service was friendly but food very disappointing....

I live in Utah, but my wife is from Mt. View, HI. She always tells me that Chinese food in Hawaii is the best. I didn't believe her until we went to Ling's. The food was great. I also appreciated the casual atmosphere. We had the lemon chicken, oyster chicken, manapua, cake noodles, spare ribs, and wonton. All of it was excellent. They don't have Coke, just Pepsi. That is the main downside.

OK so this place is good for basically one main thing. Crispy Chicken! Any kind is good...Oyster, lemon, orange. They are all awesome. I've tried a few other dishes and they are hit or miss. Food: 5 stars for the crispy chicken. 3 stars for the rest. Atmosphere: 3 stars- kinda run down. Not the cleanest. Suggest take out. Service: 3 stars- they take your order and bring it out fast...not many smiles, no frills. Value: 4 stars- large portions. Oh yeah...ask for the sauce on the side if you take out so the chicken stays nice and crispy!

What happened? This place used to be so great!? Just went to go get a 3 choice plate for dinner and everything was just slapped on top of each other..Pork tofu on top of oyster chicken and adobo. Not to mention the tofu tasted sour as well. The place used to look clean and nice, but recently its gone downhill...I hope things improve here. I know Lings used to be the "place" to go for Chinese food...

Hole in the wall chinese restaurant located around the corner from Foodland. Family has picked up take-out from here a couple times in the last few weeks, mediocre food, generous portions and alittle disappointment in the staff's attitude after we found brillo pad fragments in a stir fry dish, they just didn't seem to care. We should have called Ling to let her know, but I'm sure she'll eventually read about it here. Not sure if we'll be back.

This is the best Chinese Restaurant ever!! I would definitely recommend anyone looking for some good Chinese, Local Hawaii inspired food to go here. Anytime I fly into Hilo my first stop is Lings Chop Suey. The service is awesome, the food is delicious and the amount of food that they give for the price can feed a family of four!!! I absolutely love this place. I compare a lot of Chinese places with this place, and so far Lings Chop Suey out beats any Chinese restaurant to date! AWESOME!
(5)Lovesto E.
I can't get enough of this place! Their lemon, oyster and sweet sour chicken plates are the BOMB!!! Even the half order of either one is like a full order elsewhere! I wish they had franchises across the state. Whenever I go to Hilo, this place is a must stop! This and Chengs.

Came here because my go to chinese spot was closed. Second time eating here but I don't remember it being this bad. First of all, opened my container of shrimp Canton and they poured the sweet and sour sauce all in there making my food soggy with all of the sauce on the bottom. The shrimp canton itself was good but who Does that? You're supposed to Keep the sauce separate especially if it's to go or atleast ask the customer. My broccoli in the beef broccoli was so soggy too. It was weird. I always eat it at leungs and it never tastes so squishy like that. Nothing good about the fried rice either. Ugh. Idk why everyone goes here in Hilo. Why because of the oyster chicken? I will not be going here anymore.
(1)Leisha A.
Don't judge me, but I went back. I was hoping it would have gotten better, but I was wrong. Everything tasted like it had been sitting for a long time. Hard to chew, it was terrible. Now I know, I'm definitely not coming back. The 2 stars is for the fried rice, tasty and fluffy. Maybe it's because we ordered through a delivery service, or maybe all the food is this bad. Bummer.

Crispy Chicken with Oyster sauce....this is as original to Hilo as the Loco Moco. Ling's had a sister restaurant at the old Kaiko'o Mall, but we all know what happened to that mall....oh well, the childhood memories of that former Hilo hot spot. Ling's is fast becoming a Hilo landmark, because of it's longevity at the same location since the early 90's, and has some of the best Cantonese food in East Hawaii. Yes, the Crispy Chicken with Oyster sauce is my favorite at Lings, and you really can't find it any where else outside of the Big Island. In fact, there a place in Las Vegas that tried to copy the Lings recipe, and calls it " Hilo Style Oyster sauce chicken". It's not the same, but when where they have it....I'll order it. To say, I dream about eating the real macoy,,,,,yes, I do, and this plate would be one of the first dishes I'll hit when I'm in Hilo. Ling's makes there plates very huge, so come hungry. One more thing, if Oyster chicken isn't your thing....try the crispy gau gee with Vegetables or Beef broccoli with cake noodles.

This is the worst Chinese "restaurant" in town. The freaking two Chinese babbums looked at me like I was dumb. There were roaches antennas in my pork fried rice. I'll never go here again. They did not even want to give me my money back. Inspect the food before you eat and pay after your done if can.
(1)Tricia M.
Good food always a favorite.
(5)Lori C.
This place gets busy...so call in to go orders. Really friendly staff, customers all know each other. Food is fast, good, and decent prices. I tried the recommended favorites, off the menu as I am not a fan of open steam tables. All good, but I will get more adventurous next time.

I looooove it! And the owner lady and her waitresess so sweet to me and my family.
