What Kate likes about Lingnan Restaurant:
All dishes we sampled were surprisingly delicious, fresh ingredients, excellent balance of flavors. The only thing we weren’t a fan of was the hot and sour soup, it was way too spicy compared to other restaurants. Definitely recommend the gee gee chicken. Service was attentive and friendly even when it was quite busy. View all feedback. What vivomexico doesn't like about Lingnan Restaurant:
I was totally disappointed as everything except for steamed rice and vegetables has MSG in it. $18 for a bowl of rice and vegetables. The manager told me that all of their sauces were made elsewhere and so were all of the meats etcetera. The vegetables were tasteless they could have at least used some garlic and other spices.

Amazing Gluten Free Menu. Have eaten here frequently, and it is one of the best Chinese food Restaurants we have eaten at, even conpared to non Gluten free.
