What an iconic Melb institution!
Most suitable for after drinks meals with drunk mates. Pippies with XO sauce.
Great service and delicious food!
Always a good feed at this restaurant. Friendly staff and priced well. They open until late each day, great for a midnight snack. Most popular dish there would be the pipis in xo sauce.
The pipis and the chicken ribs are a definite must have! A Melbourne must visit!! Dipping the donuts into the xo sauce is an experience u won’t regret!!
We visited Ling Nan for a family dinner, and tried a variety of their most popular dishes. The XO Pipis were so delicious and had a nice amount of spice to it too. I loved the combination with fried dough stick! The Chicken Ribs was also very juicy and tender. We also had lobster noodles to share, although when the bill came we were quite shocked because they had not informed us of how heavy the lobster weighed. We had way too much lobster between the 7 of us! Otherwise, an enjoyable meal.
We came here for a late night snack after karaoke and I’m not sure if it was because I was starving or sobering up but it was the best Chinese food ever . We got the fried rice , Chinese sausage , fried chicken , beans and mince - all so delicious and the best thing is this place is open til super late
Amazinggggg customer service, waiters were great fun to be around. Will be back for the delicious food and memorable service!!
Been coming to this place for 15 years. We generally always go for the prawn toast, xo pippis, xo oysters, ginger and spring onion oysters, Cantonese beef, salt and pepper prawns with garlic and chilli and fried rice. 9 times out of ten it’s awesome.
Simple and amazing Chinese food that keeps the regulars coming back for more! This place is always packed with people just about anytime of the day, i once visited at 1am and it was bustling with people. Had the two crab noodles cooked two ways and they were both amazing. We had the crab noodles cooked with xo sauce and the other one with ginger and coriander and it was so good. Don't forget to try pipis with xo sauce and chinese donut, they never disappoint. This is a no frills restaurant that serves up amazing cantonese cuisine.
Friendly staff and opens till late!
Chinese cuisine here is always on point and you can't go wrong with ordering anything from the menu. Great place and good vibes to dine.
This place is always busy. Decided to give it it ago and our meals all were tasty. Very quick and efficient services. I would love to come back to try more
I did come back love the crispy chicken!!!
One of my favourite place for supper, an institution in Melbourne that's definitely not to be missed. Now located on Lonsdale Street, not far from their old spot, the food is just as good as before. Can't go wrong with the XO pipis with Chinese Donuts, Water Spinach with Fermented Bean Curd, and the Salt & Pepper Squid and Chicken. Great flavours and excellent execution. So glad that they have reopened!
Had a dinner here and really enjoyed their new venue. It is cleaner and well maintained.
We had a few diferent menus, xo pious, stir fry chinese broccoli, pork ribs, steamed baramundi and hokkian rice.
As every othwr reviews mentioned, their xo pipis are great, but to my surprise their hokkian rice also tasted amazing ! Def coming back here
A chef recommended this place to me and it showed in the food. It's good value, it came out fast, and the quality of the food was evident not just in the flavour combinations but the technical aspects, nothing over or undercooked, everything fried was crisp and clean, and in big portions. Some of the best food I've had in years. Front of house are courteous and efficient, extra napkins and water refills appear as if by magic even during a busy service. 10/10 highly recommend
Love this chinese restaurant... authentic dishes .... great food with great company
