 Verified Fabulous Southport Chinese - and dog friendly!!!
Our visit to Lings topped off a fantastic week away in beautiful Southport. Although quiet at the time of our visit, the restaurant was doing a roaring trade in takeaway deliveries and, when our food arrived, we soon found out why. We couldn't fault either the quality of our meal or the size of the portions! Service was great, but we also had the pleasure of meeting Ling Lam who really was the "hostess with the mostest"! We were also blown away by the fact that Lings is very dog friendly, and our girl was made such a fuss of . Thank you for a lovely evening x

 Verified Fabulous food and great value
A very quiet Monday evening meal but certainly not lacking in quality. A lovely resteraunt, don't be fooled by it's location, a small side street near the market. Friendly welcome and given a menu with a large range of dishes including vegetarian options and several Banquets to choose from. We opted for banquet A at just £19.95 per head and it was just fabulous and very satisfying. Soup, ribs, crispy duck, ( oh the duck just the best) sizzling beef and a sweet and sour chicken with egg fried rice and finally toffee apple with both cream and ice cream. Lovely presentation served with care and a smile. Despite it being very quiet in the resteraunt it was very busy with takeaway deliveries. We had a lovely chat with Ling and her husband and she very kindly gave us extra fortune cookies and a copy of our Chinese horoscopes to take home. We will definitely return next time we are in Southport.

 Verified The best birthday meal we have had
Whilst celebrating my wifes birthday we wanted to have a chinese meal. Lings on King's came up so we took a trip there. From the moment we went inside we noticed the very nice and relaxed atmosphere we were shown to a table which was beautifully set out. We then met Ling herself who also was celebrating her birthday what a lovely warm welcoming lady she is made us,feel like friends. We looked through the impressive menu and opted fir a banquet each. First course was chicken and sweetcorn soup followed by barbecue spare ribs. Then Crispy Duck pancakes for our mains we opted for sweat and sour chicken with fried rice and sizzling chicken with mixed vegetables. Unbelievably followed by toffee apples with cream and ice cream. Our verdict was this,has to be the best Chinese meal we have had the food is excellent quality tasty and fresh each course was simply delightful no complaints at all we finished the night off with a cheeky Baileys Irish cream and another intimate chat with Ling and her staff we went as customers we left feeling like we had made friends 10 out of 10 highly recommend to anyone.
