Ling Nan Chinese Restaurant

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

The place to go if you want authentic Chinese food service. The waiters were rude but the food was good. Despite having called ahead and confirming vegetarian menu and if it can be garlic and onion free, got a rude surprise of being told there are no vegetarian dishes... The menu was different to the one on Google reviews, and the Chinese/Vietnamese menu looked completely different to the English one they provided. Thankfully the people I went with understood Chinese and found some dishes suitable for vegetarians, and the kitchen could do onion and garlic free.
