Ling’s Buffet

I really enjoyed the variety of foods: the many varieties of shrimp recipes and the tasty vegetables. I will return. The hostess and waiter were very friendly and helpful.

No clue why everyone makes a big deal out of this place. This Chinese buffet is ridiculously overpriced for the quality of food they serve. Everything tastes so unfresh and dry. Waaay better Chinese buffets around the Houston area than this place. I think the locals come here because it’s the only Chinese food choice that they have. Go down the street and try China Ko.

not very flavorful and there is no low sodium soy sauce either

From all the Chinese joints in Atascocita we always come back to Lings. Their buffet is always fresh and full and when we order to go it’s always ready pretty quick and they even let us help ourselves to ice cream cones while we waited. There is always plenty of food and it’s always really good. We’re from NY and it’s probably Olathe closest to Chinese food unless u go to H-​Town.

Me and my husband used to love this place. We were regular customers that spent money here at least once a week. But last week we went and the host kept trying to make us sit in the back. They know us and know what area we like best. Then when we was going to settle for the back cause she refused to let us sit up front and sat us at the back table she looked inconvenienced and said she didn’t have a waitress for the table. Then why make a big deal about us sitting in the back and when you do you then remember you have no waitress for the table? And the hostess had a terrible attitude. Just cause I WAS a regular doesn’t mean you can have a ugly attitude towards me. I will definitely not be a regular no more. I will never ever come back here again. There are way to many Chinese buffet in the area to choose from. Lings food is terrific, but like my dad says, they may have the best food in the world, but if the service is horrible I’ll never go back. No matter how good the food is, if the service sucks its not worth going back. Not all the staff is like that, but the hostess is the first one to greet you, and She didn’t even care that we just turned around and walk out.

I enjoyed the garlic shrimp, chicken stuffed mushrooms & the sushi. This is a great place to take friends and even celebrate birthdays here! Clean, hot food and well-​lit presentation. I’ll definitely be a return customer!

Been here a bunch of times, and my whole family loves it. There’s something for everyone, and the sushi is amazing. Salad bar could have more selection, but lots of fruit choices. Main dishes are good too… my favorite is the bacon wrapped shrimp. Dessert cakes are DELICIOUS… they have a coffee mocha flavor to them. Service is fine… very attentive. Great food for the money.

Food is good for a buffet. I have tried most items and have been pleased with the quality. There is an ice cream machine for the dessert options, and always a nice finish for me. Food is always hot and fresh and the customer services is great. Never had the sushi. When I crave Chinese buffet, this is where I go in Atascocita.

Wow how crusted, dry and greasy can food get. Staff unknown about menu. Messy and dirty. Kids drinking from ice cream machine. Yuck.

Great prices and a wide selection of food. Every time I’ve been to this location the food tastes fresh. I love the fact that they have sushi on their buffet, as well as other traditional asian foods.

Only good food we had in Texas and it wasn’t even southern food. At least i could eat a little of everything and not leave hungry. Dessert bar was limited and they closed the ice cream down before they even closed. I guess i’m only giving them 3 stars becuase like i said, only good food in Texas.

I have tried a lot of Chinese buffets. Sure, the food is not as good as a made-​to-​order place, but I do love the variety that buffets offer. Ling’s is a very nice, large and super-​clean restaurant. Their service is really good. They have wait-​staff standing all around the restaurant to ensure that if anyone needs anything, they can come in a jiffy. Some have said that the variety here is not good; however, I disagree with that. I found multiple items that I had never seen before on buffets such as bacon wrapped shrimp, spinach cheese puffs, crab patties, raw oysters, and lychees (exotic fruit). The food has always been hot and fresh when I’ve eaten there.

I am skeptical about the hygiene here. When walking to our table I smelled a mildewy odor and was immediately uneasy about tasting the food. The food ended up being pretty decent tasting. There is a nice variety of items to choose from, however I would never go back because of the odor. Eat at your own risk.

Blecht. Drive by this one. Wonton soup was yellow and tastes terrible. The hot n sour soup looked like hot corn starch jello. Everything I ate tasted the same. Blah or like Siracha sauce. Lots of grease, luke warm or cold food. The green tea was just plain old tea It wasn’t green tea. And the carpet smelled bad. Dirty.

Decent buffet. A lot of different food to choose from and its always been hot anytime I have been. Go during lunch for about $ 10 a person.

Raw oysters on the weekend. Food can be fresh but like all buffets not always. Servers are nice and friendly. Price is average.

I have been here twice and the food and service only gets worse. The meat on the stuffed mushrooms had already gone bad. Yuck! I spent most of the time in the restroom throwing up!
My husband grabbed 2 oysters and the waiter came over to the table to tell him that the oysters were part of the «dinner» menu and he had only charged for the «lunch» menu, if he were to grab more he will have to charge extra! Did I mention that it was no later than 4pm?

You can compare to eating this kind of food to a night of heavy drinking. You will always regret the feeling the day after, probably even the two hours after in this case.
It’s what you’d expect from a Chinese buffet place in which the food is cooked by people who aren’t Chinese.
It is what it is.

For a Chinese buffet, it’s one of the better in the area. I recommend dining for lunch, the $ 11 dinner price is way too much for the buffet. It’s Not THAT good.
I visit Lings once every few months… when looking for variety.
The coconut shrimp is good, wish they would bring back the peanut butter chicken

Love! Never disappointed! A variety of food. My favorite is the sushi bar great selection. Great food for the money. Great service. I have been numerous of times and do not have one compliant.
This place is starting to go down. Last two times I’ve been I’ve left very disappointed. Food was very cold. Waiter did offer to microwave my food but I declined.
