Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We booked a table for 2 and mentioned it was our anniversary. We arrived and they’d put a balloon and banner next to our table! Food and service was excellent. The gorgeous lady owner presented us with traditional Chinese Hats and my wife a flower...garland! They also gave us an extra main course! Brilliant. Just how Chinese restaurants were always and should be. Thank you XxxxxMore

Visited as a family on Saturday and went for banquet D. The food was top notch (the ribs were really good meat was so tender). Service was very well paced and the serving staff were friendly and helpful. What I found really special was the...attentiveness of Lings she made a lot of effort to ensure we were having a good time and enjoying our evening. I would have no hesitation in recommending Lings on Kings and will be returning again next time I get the opportunity. Great food, great staff and nice surroundings!!!More

We visited this evening as a last minute birthday treat for a 13 year old, four of us. We ordered the banquet with lots of starters and crispy duck pancakes. The food was absolutely beautiful, the ribs were melt in the mouth tasty and the...vegetable spring rolls beautifully fresh and crunchy with lovely vegetables. Everything dish that arrived was beautiful, fresh and tasty with not a hint of msg . The dips for the starters were all homemade. The service was first class, from the friendly waitress who couldn’t do enough for us to ling who came out of the kitchen frequently to speak to us. They made an absolute fuss over the birthday boy, from balloons, to sparklers and fancy deserts to fancy dress. There was plenty of food for us to take home, for another dinner. The restaurant is immaculately clean and it is clear to see why this is so highly rated and such a long running successful establishment. We can’t wait to go back and throughout December they do a Christmas banquet for £22 per head and karaoke every night… perfect for a fun packed pre Christmas night.More

Whilst away last weekend, a friend & I wanted to go out for dinner. We accidentally stumbled upon Lings on Kings. What a find! From the moment we walked in, the welcome was second to none. The two young men who worked the floor &...reception, were excellent, very polite & very professional. Nothing was too much trouble. We only managed to get in, as some other diners had just left. Right place at the right time! The service was spot on, the sort of service, you'd expect from a much larger fine dining restaurant. As for the food, well let me tell you, it was the best Asian food, I've ever tasted & I've travelled a lot. Ling, the wonderful, beautiful, charismatic & charming proprietor, couldn't do enough. Originating from Peking, she has been running this establishment for more than 40 years. That in itself shows, just how much her menu is coveted. She has won many n prestigious prizes, for her food & establishment. The ambience of the place, was mesmerising. Ling was so engaging, so too were the two younger men. We laughed, we had photographs together. Which Ling provided hats, garlands, etc for staging. We had a wonderful night. Thank you Ling for such a perfect evening. Btw we had to ask for take out boxes, as we couldn't get past the second course. Still had the main & dessert to go! Ling very kindly boxed & bagged them all up, for us to take away. Plus, some little extras. Also, spare napkins, extra chop sticks & sachets of lemon hand wipes. We're ended up with a meal for the following evening. I for one, shall be eating there again. Plus, I'll be telling all of my friends about her place too. Definitely deserves 5 stars, if I could give more I would!More

My girlfriend and I had a great time here last night. Food was great, and plentiful. Can't argue with the value, we even ended up taking some food home which is something I very rarely do!

We have been here for meals but never had a take away before but sometimes that’s just what you need. We had crispy duck and pancakes and special fried rice and curry and of course prawn crackers. Enormous portions but so delicious and way way...better than anyway take away we’ve had before. All delivered promptly with a smile. Might have been our first but it’s definitely not our last take away from here.More

We went to Lings for my wife’s birthday. We were met with a warm welcome on arriving. I choose the chicken and sweetcorn soup and my wife had duck pancakes.
