My first time coming here and what an experience! The food wowed me! Seriously, best chilli prawns I have ever had! The service was incredible, our waiter Eric was great. We then got told on our way out that I can hold a lobster!! I was so excited! Obviously I did!! The employees had humor and made us laugh. I couldn't recommend this restaurant more. The food was definitely worth it for the price we paid. Quality seafood for sure. I will be definitely back for more and bring my family and friends. Thank you so much to chef's and the staff.

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’ve been back few times after my first visit. Easy to contact them to make a booking

I did come back love the crispy chicken!!!

Our food arrived in less than 10 minutes after the order was placed.

The clams in XO sauce were succulent, and sweet with a spicy kick. Loved that staff came by regularly to clear away the shells that we threw in a bowl.

Congee was good and came in 2 sizes. We took the small one and shared amongst the 3 of us. Funny thing was the fried Chinese dough came in one size and it was plenty!

Must order the salt & pepper pork ribs. So good. Flavourful and tender well cooked pork. Yums. The salted fish tofu didn't look like much but was super tasty and goes well with rice.

📝: One of the top on my go to list. Finally got to visit!! If you love Chinese food, add to list asap 🤣.

❤: Love a warm bowl of Congee with Century Egg and Shredded Pork. I always love ordering extra Youtiao to eat with my congee for extra heartiness as well!

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!

Chinese Comfort Food At Its Finest

One of the best chinese food in Melbourne are. The staffs are nice and the service is speedy!

The food is amazing. The taste and the presentation is good enough and the portion is very generous

A must try for sure

The food was so so good.
The xo pipis with chinese donuts was hands down the best. But everything else including the fried prawns, and steamed fish was just as amazing too. Definitely going back to try others. Good service too!

Had a wonderful meal. Every dish was prepared to perfection. Love this place. Unpretentious atmosphere with emphasis on fresh seafood. Service was just right. Attentive but not imposing. We had a big group so could sample many dishes: including crab, crayfish, oysters, clams and prawns.

This is my favourite restaurant in all of Melbourne!! It’s simple classic understated delicious Chinese food. Well known for their pipis with xo sauce and Chinese donuts, you do not come here unless you order this dish. The chicken ribs - or Chinese KFC - is just to die for. Crispy salty and delicious. Well visited after a few drinks, don’t be turned off by the exterior. the simple white paper tables, or the basic service. A bit more expensive that other Chinese restaurants but it’s worth it.

Ling Nan Restaurant in Melbourne Chinatown is a culinary delight. The traditional flavors of Cantonese cuisine shine through in every dish. From the fragrant dim sum to the savory stir-fries, each bite is a burst of authentic taste. The charming ambiance and attentive service make dining here an unforgettable experience. Don't miss out on their famous BBQ pork and crispy Peking duck. Ling Nan Restaurant is a true gem in the heart of Chinatown, offering a delicious journey through the flavors of Southern China.

Went tonight with family and the food was lovely, prompt and the honey chicken was divine. It's Cantonese traditional food and the menu is quite extensive

Was alright for the price. Food was decent and quick service. Seating abit tight. Has toilet and on street or paid parking near by.

Great for supper , authentic Cantonese cuisine

Such an institution for Cantonese food in Melbourne CBD. Must order is Lobster Noodles in XO sauce and Pippis in XO sauce.

Service is always great and staff are so friendly here!
Food and portions are great for the prices, excellent value for money.
Great for big groups too!

The oldies, open till late! love the new site, clean! These are must order here 😏

Love this chinese restaurant... authentic dishes .... great food with great company

We always go here when in Melbourne. This is our favourite Chinese restaurant in town. We have been going here since 2002. I’m very happy the food and service has even improved so much after moving from the old spot.

Cantonese restaurant with fresh and good quality seafood, nicely cook and tasty. Had the crab with noodle, it was yummy! Also had a fish and vege which was lovely, but forgot to take photo.
