Ling & Louie’s Asian Bar and Grill

Hostess on both visits was a little slow and didn’t seem to want to work. After being seated, the experience sky rockets. Both times, Kham was our server and he is awesome! He gives you privacy as while interacting with you often; a great balance in a server. He’s always moving a mile a minute and cares about guests’ needs.
The food is amazing! We’ve had the chicken skewers, jeweled beef, evil jungle princess, firecracker and the deep fried banana with ice cream. All the ingredients have so much flavor. I hate it when I go to a restaurant and it tastes like something I can whip up on my own. I don’t know how Ling and Louie’s packs so much flavor in their food, but I love it!
I can’t forget to mention the atmosphere. The décor is great and kind of relaxing. Even though it’s in the casino, you feel more in a restaurant. The smell just pulls you in. We will be back!

My cousin lives in the Phoenix area and suggested we meet her here for dinner. We headed over from our hotel and found a 45 minute wait for a table, so we signed in and sat at the bar. The bar had 4 employees behind the bar, but it still took them a while to get to us (hate to see them work a Vegas bar), our bartender asked if we would be eating at the bar, we replied NO just wanted drinks. I asked him if they had any signature drinks that he would recommend, he looked at and said, «we have them, but no one orders them» then handed me a menu and said here look at these. His lack of confidence in their signature drinks made me rethink them QUICKLY and I said, «never mind, I’ll order an old favorite of mine. I’d like a Grey Goose martini, up with a lemon twist». Hubby had to throw his order in quick, because this boy was already turning away from us. He poured me a shot of Goose with a lemon wedge and handed me the drink. I looked at hubby and shrugged, hubby was handed his drink we cheered and I went to take a sip and realized my glass was VERY broken. I flagged the bartender down and he actually gave me a side look with a FINGER (not that famous middle one) and told me to WAIT. When he finally came up to me with ATTITUDE, I gave it right back to him with. LOOK (as I lift the glass in line with his eyes) do YOU see a problem with THIS??? His face fell, attitude dropped, apologized under his breath and then grabbed the glass and was going to leave, when my husband decided to explain to him in step by step instructions on how to make a martini. I finally received a martini with a lemon twist, so he did know what they were. surprise surprise. When my cousin arrived and sat with us he NEVER came to get her order, in fact he never even looked our way again. This bartender needs a MINUS star review
When our remote went off, hubby went and told the hostess that we couldn’t get our bartender’s attention and could she please forward our bar bill to the table. We never got charged for our drinks, (his apology? or ?) The restaurant has lots of space, I loved that they do not shove in as many tables as they can, and even though we were in the center of the room, we still felt private. Our server was fast and very attentive. They have a nice menu, but the food is neither traditional or fused enough to stand out. It was an OK dinner, we enjoyed our company better.
We ordered the crab ragoons, they are very generous with the crab mixture, chili sauce tastes jarred. Nachos, were not made well. each ingredient was measured and placed on the plate, but nothing was spread over the entire area of wonton chips, became hard to eat and get that perfect bite. Wonton chips were very thin and broke easily, you definitely need a fork for assistance. Edamame, again, salted but only on top in a small area. Uncle Fu’s fried rice, it was ok and cousin loved her chicken rice soup, I think it was called Long Life.
Biggest stand out for me, because this is VERY unusual, I had to order bottled water with my meal. The tap water was so disgusting in flavor that even with the lemon wedge I could not power through it. They brought their casino labeled bottled water, I wasn’t given a choice. All in all not one of my worst or favorite meal experiences.

Tonight’s guest performer, DONNY OSMOND!!! (craaaaaaaaahhhhhh!). Yes, indeed, it was Friday night on the Rez and as we drove up, we watched the blood-​red tendrils of a fading sun blazing the clouds over the Estrella’s. Why do I always catch sunsets like this when I cannot get to a camera? Oh, well, on to the Casino.
No, I was not there to see Donny, but he was the headliner, and in my head that meant I would be battling a horde of seniors to get a seat in the dining hall. Heck, according to Denny’s I am a senior, but these people. Well, they were up there.
Getting to the Casino was straight-​forward, they have their own named exit on the I-​10. We spun in there about 6 pm and quickly found a spot in a garage with estate-​sized parking spots. I’m talking roomy here. Heck, each spot here would equal two in California. Swinging our doors wide, we easily exited and headed for the restaurant. A short stroll and we found ourselves staring at the automatic doors– whoosh! and we are slammed with a wall of stale cigarette smoke floating on the stench of desperation propelled by the fear of losing that next spin on the gambling machines. It smells just like every other Casino in Arizona and one would think with the billions of revenue they suck from these poor souls they could afford better scrubbers. We strolled in like the ballers we are and followed the signs around to the restaurant.
Pushing through the crowds of elderly’s, we made it to the line in front of what appeared to be the restaurant. There were bamboo stalks, so we were pretty sure this was it. We finally got to the host and got our little buzzer. 45 minutes, sir. We wandered over to the bar and secured a couple of stools, waiting for something to kill the desire to break for the front door and fresh air. The very busy bartender eventually came around, a husky white man with an Asian hairdo — the little balled-​up ponytail in the back. I think to myself «how fucking cliché.»
We order two «Red Lotus». This is a drink made with Tequila, Ginger Liqueur, Rhubarb Bitters and Fresh Strawberry. Steven Seagal heads over to the corner and starts playing with his bartender tools, making a big show for the casino-​floor waitress while he muddles and shakes and strains our drinks. Strolling back, he plops two old-​fashion glasses partially filled with a vaguely pink liquid in front of us, garnished with a forlorn slice of lime. I’m sorry, he says, I’m out of highball-​glasses so I have to use these. The drinks looked like some kind of shot a frat-​boy would order at a sports bar. Can you at least put some ice in them?, I ask. Oh, but that would dilute the liquor! That’s okay, I said, at least it would be cold. The bartender returned with the drinks iced and proceeded to complain about how difficult it was to muddle and strain the fresh strawberries, it was a horrible drink in his opinion as it was too much work. It didn’t taste bad, we slurped them down while watching the other elderly patrons scarf their vaguely Asian looking dishes before the big concert.
90 minutes later, two quick pulses on the pager meant our table was finally ready. For starters, Steamed Edamame and Black Orchid Ahi «sushi grade» tuna with an Asian slaw and spicy soy mustard. Close to starvation at this point, we scarfed the apps and waited for our dinners. The wife ordered the «Evil Jungle Princess» with seared scallops and I had «Drunken» with crispy chicken. The waitress made a big show of pouring some volatile flaming liquid over my dish tableside, but said that she could not serve it while it was flaming. So much for show. My dish could easily be described as «Sweet and Sour Chicken with white rice» in most any other Asian place. The volatile liquid tasted like rubbing alcohol. I did not finish this dish, it was too sickly-​sweet. The wife loved her scallops, but left the rest of her dish alone. We did not ask for doggie bags — that would have just been cruel to our little puggies. After dinner, we sat and talked while our dishes of uneaten food congealed in front of us.
Summary — Atmosphere lame, I mean like food-​court lame, service — overworked Casino people just hoping for their shift to end sooner than later. I give the waitress props, she was not that great, but in her defense, it looked like she was working the whole floor. Price — not worth it. Given the attitude and the wait time to get in here, followed by crappy food, I’ll pass next and head on over to Pei-​Wei for my vaguely Asian food fix.

Fantastic service and wide selection of beverages. The potstickers are hand made. The crab wontons are some of the best I have ever had. Hand made with big chunks of what appears to be crap with a sweet citrus sauce. GreAt appetizer.

We used to go there all the time for the great food. Hadn’t gone in a while so I decided to take my wife on a casino date. Found the menu had changed. Ordered egg rolls or spring rolls for an appetizer. They no longer had either. What Chinese restaurant doesn’t have egg rolls or spring rolls!!! Dinner was just ok. I ordered a dish with two indicators of spicy. I guess salt is a spice as mine was way over salted and I like a lot of salt! I hope we just hit them on a bad day because we used to love this place and just for that will we try them one more time.

The location and the atmosphere is inside the casino, with dim light, very comfortable for family or romantic mood ;)…and they still open late after 10 pm (score!) plus they have a very nice setting bar aside.
Crispy calamari was great, crispy, not salty or oily, although no dipping signature for this menu.
Black Orchid Ahi, is my new favorite here! the sauce was tasty especially if you sprinkle lemon before you start eating.
The service is great, fast, helpful, and friendly. Although they don’t have ponzu sauce, they replaced it with sliced lemon and soy, quite close :).
Overall, I had a great experiences here, I would like to go back to try something else.

This is one of my fav’s! There has never been one dish one this menu that has ever been disappointing! Not even meatloaf ~ and I HATE meatloaf! Anyone who can get me to say yum to meatloaf can cook!!! Also, I can’t make anything in my own kitchen at these prices, it’s so worth the drive ~ making myself hungry now ~

Yum. Yum. Everything was perfect for my birthday dinner. I got the London Mule drink and my bf got the house draft. We started with lettuce wraps, which were delicious. He got new wave pad Thai and I got the surf & turf. The entrees were great! The sauce wasn’t overpowering and we each had enough for leftovers. Make sure to add the long life chicken rice soup. The cilantro and green onion pop in the soup. We finished off with the Banana cake. It tasted more like a delicious fried churro stuffed with banana. It came with fresh whipped cream, vanilla ice cream and strawberries AMAZING!!! I hope a location will open in Illinois. Oh, and our server, Candy, was very sweet and attentive.

Whoa the hostesses need to be trained or replaced! They were clueless which resulted in multiple reservations delayed over an hour and several «may I speak to your manager» requests from different parties. After an hour past our reservation and still no desire to get a table ready for us, not to mention that there were several tables open in multiple areas, we finally were able to sit down! Whew it was a nightmare!
The only reason I gave them 3 stars is because the food was amazing and our server Candy was incredible! If they figure out their hostess situation they will be a great place to go eat! Thank you again Candy!

I thought I was going to have a «normal» Asian lunch. I was pleasantly surprised by what I experienced. Based on my buddies suggestion, we started with a Mongolian Beef flatbread. For our main course we each had the F’n Sliders. The food was so flavorful and delicious! Can’t wait to come back.

The food was good but having to walk thru a smoke filled casino was really bad. It looked like you could access the restaurant without having to go thru the casino, but you can’t.
The calamari appetizer was good. My wife is gluten free and they have a pretty good sized gf menu.
The service was good, not excellent.
I will try another, but will never go back to this location.

Hostess was extremely rude; she just walked off without saying anything after we told her the number in our party. Most people would be like «please follow me.»
Ordered drinks — pear martini (fairly good) & strawberry limeade (limeade was terrible, had an awful aftertaste & it had an identity crisis, didn’t know if it was going to be sweet or sour…)
Ordered 2 fried rice dishes, which ended up being extremely salty. Would not recommend…
Only good thing about the whole experience was that our waiter, Doug was really nice.

Great service, clean restaurant and good food! The coconut shrimp is really good. I was really impressed with the Ahi lettuce wraps. Warning: you will have to wrap them yourself so it can be a little messy. LOVED the bulgogi!

This place may not be the authentic Chinese food that you are looking for but hey. It’s pretty darn delicious.
My boyfriend and I came here to dine before the Billy Ocean concert. Our bartender Theresa took immediate care of us knowing that we were pressed for time. She was knowledgeable and helped us pick our tasty dishes. We had the uncles fried rice with shrimp and Mongolian beef with a side of noodles.
We haven’t been to their Scottsdale location in years but now we are planning to visit it soon with friends to try out new dishes.
Thank you!

We visited this restaurant because my wife wanted to check out the Wild Horse Pass Casino. We decided for this asian restaurant and oh boy… I had the F’n Loaded Sliders and let me tell you: best sliders I have ever had in my life! Worth coming back just for that alone. My wife had the Pad Thai and that was okay as well. Visit this place… try the sliders

I’m an avid gambler so I’ve tried every eatery at the casino off my food comps. I usually leave a fat tip since I get my meals off the comps. I asked for my sizzling chicken and shrimp with spicy garlic sauce but no butter and they made it perfectly to order! The experience, atmosphere, service, and food make this place a must try!

Went with friends while at Wild Horse Pass Casino. The food was tasty and inexpensive I had the Honey Walnut Chicken and miso soup and you get good size helping. I only ate a little over half. Everyone in our party enjoyed what they ordered. So if you want Chinese food that’s good and not expensive this is a good place to stop.

We were staying at the wild horse pass hotel for a mini staycation and for dinner, we decided to try this restaurant. It was pretty good! We were seated and greeted right away on a Tuesday evening. Our server, candy, gave us some suggestions of which items to try.
We started off with a Siamese chicken pork egg roll appetizer, the egg roll was good, with very crispy skin, but by itself it was only okay. If you use the sauce it came with, it was so delicious! I wanted more!
For the entrée, I chose the Taipei pepper steak with brown rice. To me, it was very tasty and succulent. I ate the whole thing. I would recommend the dish to others and wouldn’t mind coming back for the same dishes.

Love the food here and typically love the servers. I eat here at least twice a month and the food will never fail you, its that good of quality. Noramlly get the coconut shrimp, edamame and sushi off of the appetizer menu and the jeweled beef or Buddha’s feast off of the entrée menu. Our server this time around had zero customer service skills and zero personality. She walked up to our table and was like 2 ft away asking what we wanted to drink. Didn’t introduce herself or anything. No smile at all… seemed miserable. If it wasnt for the food i would be giving this place and experience this time around 2 stars.

Hubby and I stopped in for lunch. It was just free they opened so it wasn’t very busy. We started with the lettuce wraps a my hubby is a big fan of them at PF Changs. They were pretty good but a little salty for me.
The honey walnut chicken was good. The sauce was different but I really liked it. The fried rice was ok but nothing special.
Overall we had a good experience but the service was pretty slow so I would hate to see what it’s like when they are busy. This was our first visit to the casino so I would give the other restaurants a try before returning.
