Ling's Cafe

This is a really nice buffet. It also includes sushi and a Mongolian grill. Only $7.96 (after tax with a water) for an amazing lunch buffet. Plenty of non Chinese food too. Like BBQ pork, fried chicken, and loaded baked potatoes. All the food seemed really fresh during normal lunch rush. I ate about 4 plates of food. #noregrets

Excellent Food. Very clean and organized. Absolutely every type of Chinese food you can imagine. I ate so much had to lay down at home and roll on the carpet. Gosh it was so good. We live 40 miles away and will be back soon.

Decided to ignore the reviews and give this place a try. The food was awesome, everything was fresh and delicious. Great variety and for the price of 10.99 a person it was perfect. Restaurant itself looked rough on the outside but the inside was very clean.

The price was pretty cheap, and the food was amazing, but I didn't try the hibachi grill yet.
The service was surprisingly good with only a few workers, but that's probably because there is almost never anyone there. I love the middle with dessert, how the bar is a boat, it's a really nice touch, but other than that, it feels empty.

Fantastic food , the staff is outstanding , the place was very clean & the restroom was very clean as well

Great people. great food and great price. best black pepper chicken I’ve had anywhere on earth.

Food was fresh and there was a good variety

My wife and I love eating here. They have a wide ranging variety and the food is always delicious, with 7 buffet bars to choose from and the price is very reasonable.

I first visited Ling's for lunch when I was in a training class nearby. At first, I said that I didn't want to go - because I generally have not enjoyed 'buffet's'. But, I changed my mind -- and was so glad I did! There are five or six buffet 'tables', a Mongolian Grill and a sushi offering. I was glad to see that the restaurant is very well-lit, and the options were plentiful! The waiter got our drink orders filled, and they were waiting on our tables when we returned from the Buffet offerings. I went a second time yesterday, and again was impressed with the variety. I especially liked the baked fish, and the ribs. But really, everything was delicious. The waitress was again, on this visit, attentive and offered drink refills a couple of times, and removed our dirty plates promptly.

Very nice establishment. The plastic gloves were great to have when visiting the different service areas; however, they were quite large and challenging while choosing itemsI
The young man pulling plates off tables, and tending to refilling drinks -(Hispanic, didn't see a name tag in order to give him praise)- was quite polite and on the ball! He genuinely seemed to be enjoying his ability to keep up with the entire floor without haste! It was very refreshing to not be rushed! He was also engaged as we were preparing to leave Thanking Us for our patronage and extended and invitation to return!

When Ling's was small it was wonderful the owner so kind to her customers..
But she had a dream ( Biggest and best buffet)
And she did just that.. All kinds of food from Asian talents... We still travel 2 hours just to eat there..... Should be 5*'s.

Wonderful food and service. Very clean ! Fresh food always.

This restaurant presents a Wonderful Buffet especially for shrimp lovers like me. There are plenty of selections including several you don't routinely find on an Asian buffet. They also had several dessert. The pay one price includes several selections of sushi and if you choose you can prepare a plate for them to cook on the Hibachi Grill. If you like Asian you should give this place a try.

This place is GREAT! The best Chinese buffet in Topeka (just my opinion). They also have a sushi bar and a Mongolian grill. The food is always hot and fresh. There is a wide variety of food from traditional Chinese food to veggies and Chinese soups. They also have a salad/dessert bar and ice cream. It's definitely a must try.

The place is clean the staff is friendly. They have a fairly large selection of food to choose from. They have a salad bar, your regular Chinese food variety, and sushi. There's a section where you can have Mongolian style food. It's also the only place in Topeka that I've been to that serves crawdads.

The food was surprisingly good. The staff was helpful and pleasant. Highly recommended.

I love going to Ling's at any time of the day. They have great food heaven for my mouth. Always looks clean and smells wonderful. A great place to take your family and enjoy some wonderful food. Thank you so very much for Ling's... Amen!!!

We just left . They were so busy and my family was so grateful they were open. What they didn't have left on buffet, they made up for in hospitality. Thank you , everyone @ Ling's . Happy Holidays.

Great food, great atmosphere, and great prices.

Update 10 months later
I've been coming here for 2-3 years now, and I have now just came for a full review. When you enter, they get you to your table very quickly, and if there is a line, which sometimes there is after Sunday Church, they are also very fast. The food is delicious and theres a wider variety of food types. You can get chicken, beef, and pork dishes, but they also have really good shrimp and salmon dishes. Some foods are only available at somedays. They recently added Wonton soups, which is freaking delicious. You can add as much wontons you want rather than just some in the soups. The Mongolian Grill is also very good and fast. Theres a few options for desert, but they do have really good Lychee Jelly. They also have a fruit bar. The sushi is pretty good. Theres a decent amount of options, and they are always making them. Overall it's a really delicious place, especially for a Chinese Buffet. It's at a pretty great price, and the staff is very attentive. Would reccomend to anyone I do and don't know, who is looking for a great Chinese buffet place.

This is a great buffet. Always clean. Always fresh. Always hot. And always tastes great. For those who don't know, there's a Mongolian grill here also.
